Toast met up with Ghost and the others at the Acachallas family house. They walked in and saw-

That everything looked normal. Sue was braiding Sallys hair, Billy was in the back garden with.. bird wings on? And Papa was watching Tele.

"Uhm, Papa Acachalla? What's the ghost problem?" Ghost asked, as Toast stood beside him in their living room.

"Oh, she's upstairs. She agreed to wait until you get here to start hauntin'."

"She?" Ghost raised an eyebrow. "Could be Amiee?" He said to Toast.

"I don't think it is, Sir, this ghost is a level 6." Toast said, checking the readings.

"Okay, Spooker, Colon, can you get everyone into the living room and make sure to lock the door." Ghost instructed them.

Toast looked up and nudged Ghost, nodding towards the other two.

They were holding hands.

"Does that mean that they are a couple?" Ghost asked.

"Could be." Toast smiled. "I'm happy for them."
Now me and Sir just need to be a couple then we can go on double dates.. wait, what?
Toast blushed at his thought.

Once they were all safely in the living room, they got to work. The two made their way carefully upstairs. Toast first, Ghost second.

"Uh, Sir? I suggest you sit out for this one."

"Why?" Ghost turned the corner and saw her.

A white, blood stained dress, with long black hair.

"Ka-Katrina!" Ghost choked on his words.

She frowned at him. "Oh, hello Ghost." She looked to her side to see Maxwell, laughing at them.

As soon as Toast spotted Maxwell, he stood protectively in front of Ghost. Maxwell seemed to laugh more at this.

"Well, Miss. Katrina, isn't there somethin' you'd like ta say to your old boyfriend?"
(I guess that Katrina and Ghost were in a relationship before she died. Even if she isn't, she is now)

"Oh yes, thank you for reminding me, Mr. Maxwell."

Katrina flicked her wrist and Ghost was shot back into the wall behind them. He groaned in pain as he slid to the floor.

"Sir!" Toast tried to turn, but he found himself unable to move.
"Seriously?" He asked.

"So it's you, is it Mr. British?"

"Is what me?"

Katrina swiftly walked over to him. She smiled softly at him. "I can see what Mary saw in you."

"Don't mention her."

"What? Don't mention your dead wife? But she was so nice. She deserves to be remembered."

"It wasn't my fault!"

"Wasn't it? Tell me, did you murder her to get out of that arranged marriage?"

"No, I didn't kill her.. I didn't mean to."

"And you love someone else now, who is that someone?"

"J-Johnny?" Ghost gasped, holding his side as he tried to stand again.

Toast tried to at least turn his head, but Katrina grabbed his face, turning him to face her.
She smiled.

"Do you know how I died, Johnathan?"

"I'd.. rather not know, Miss. Katrina."

"Well, I was stabbed by one named Jimmy Casket."

Ghosts eyes flashed red as she said that.

"StAb, sTaB.. Nh-no, sTaB! J-Johnny, hel-STAB!" Ghost shouted.

"Sir, I can't move." Toast called to him.

Ghost saw his rucksack sitting near the stairs. He could see his salt-spray gun sticking out of it. He just needed to reach it and shoot them.

He slowly slithered over, his fingertips brushing the handle of it.

"Nearly.. there.... just.. a tad.. more- AAAAHHHGH!"
The sentence ended with a sharp cry of pain as he was shoved by nothing back into the wall.

"Uh uh, no movin' for you Ghostie." Maxwell smirked as he hovered over to him. "Ya can't get rid o' us that easily."

"No, but.. I can try." Ghost stuttered.

"Petty." Maxwell kicked him in the ribs, leaving Ghost collapsed on the floor and winded. He weakly looked over to Toast.

Toast, on the other hand, was too busy trying not to look into Katrinas eyes. Her glowing green eyes reminded him of his older brother, Gavin, only these eyes seemed more, scary.

"I guess you are the level 6 entity then?" He asked, trying to change the subject.

"Shh," she sighed at him. "Don't say anything, just look into my eyes."

"Katrina. don't you dare hurt him!" Ghost screamed, before being kicked again.
"If you do, I'll make sure you die a second time by me~ I will StAb StaB STAB you-ahahaha-OW! Maxy, why are you such a  meany?~"

Toast had, by now, found that he had no other option. So he stared into her eyes.

He could hear Ghost in the background, but Ghosts voice was drowned out by a very fuzzy feeling. Soon, Toast found himself breathing heavily and he felt the rest of his body go weak.
His knees gave way under him and he fell, laying on the floor. He lost consciousness, muttering the words: "I'm sorry Sir...."

Katrina giggled at him as she closed his eye lids.

She then looked over at Maxwell. "He is the one Ghosty loves, right?"

Ghost blushed a dark red.

Maxwell nodded.

"Then let's get going." She smiled.
Maxwell turned to look at Ghost. He then flicked his wrist and Ghosts head flew back, hitting the wall behind him and knocking him out.
