Clarisse sighed as she walked up the walk way to her new home. she had to admit it was quite impressive. it was a manor and very large. "So what do you think." her mother panted coming up behind her with two large suite cases in hand.
"Its, okay..i suppose." she smiled slightly at her mother. she hadn't like the idea of her mother remarrying, she loved her new step father mark, hes extremely nice but its what came with mark that haunted her, a younger and older step brother, as well as his dead wife. Clarisse had been able to see other figures since she was 2. the first was her Me ma. to her it wasn't frighting whatsoever, but her me ma had disappeared within a week and she hadn't seen another one for years. but now she sees them where ever she is, they always seem to find her, asking for silly favors, like please tell my daughter i left the truck keys in her dresser drawer. but a skill she had also learned was fading there voices out to as little as a mouse squeak.
Clarisse snapped away from her memories to see Hillary sitting on the porch steps. "So you decide to move in huh, haven't i scared you away yet?" she slowly stopped and walked right in front of Clarisse, she had to admit Hillary was a beautiful women but what was it worth she was dead and had been for 4 years, she stood the same height as her mother 5'7, with green cat eyes an blond wavy hair,that feel to her shoulders, and for some reason she was dressed in a ball gown. Clarisse never understood that.
"Why don't you go inside mom, ill be in there in a few minutes, just gonna walk around the property." her mother nodded and carry on up the newly done porch. "Walk with me Hillary." with out hearing a protests Hillary walked along Clarisse's' side. "I'd like to ask you a favour." she turned to look at Hillary. Hillary was scowling at her.
"What? why should i do you you a favor, your moving into my house remember."
"No I'm moving in to you ex husbands house, it hasn't been your house for 4 years, your dead, if you haven't realized, and I'm asking a favor for the sake of my mother."Hillary bit her lip.
"oh cause your mother makes me want to do the favor all the more right?" Clarisse smirked and pushed her brown hair over her shoulder.
"Hillary don't make me put up a boundary."
"you wouldn't dare you little brat-" Clarisse put up her fore finger silencing Hillary.
"Oh but i would and i know how, so what do you say to that favour?" cocking her head to the side Clarisse felt power.
"Fine what is it."
"don't pull any stupid R.L Stine spooky shit on my mother when shes home alone, understand, the moment i find out you have a barrier will be up and you wont be allowed on this property or withing 50 feet of your precious children or ex husband." Hillary regretfully nodded and disappeared instantly. Clarisse looked around her not noticing where she was, she knew she was still on her new home property but she was next to a large ancient fence. feeling a bad precense Clarisse turned on her heel sharply and ran up to the manor.
"Mom?"Clarisse called as she ran into the house.
"In here." she hear her mother calling off in the distance, Clarisse followed her voice and found her in the kitchen, but she wasn't alone, there was a boy her age sitting on the counter an she knew him as Colin, marks eldest son, but now the middle child, Clarisse grin and walk to her mothers side avoiding eye contact with Colin. "Wheres my room." she asked.
"Colin be a dear and show Clarisse to her room." her mother turned to Colin and smile sweetly. wanting nothing more thank to kick the teen age boy in the head, he was nice but crude as well just like his dead mother.
"It would be my pleasure Heidi." Colin hopped off the counter an landed on his toes like a pixie and walked out of the room, having no choice Clarisse followed. after three flights of stairs Clarisse found herself on the third floor which was all to her self, once you got to the third floor the first thing you saw was a small living room , and beside that was a tiny kitchen and down the hall were three large room all set up with beds.
"wow." Clarisse sighed to herself.
"Yeah you get it all to yourself happy brat." Clarisse furrowed her brow and turned sharply on her heal coming face to face with Colin. she grabbed the collar of his shirt an shove him to the ground, she sat on his chest and punch him hard in the face. she bent down slowly and whispered in his ear.
"Watch it kid, i will destroy you so don't get in my way." Collin stared at her wide eyed and amazed, she stood from him slowly and fixed her shirt an smoothed out her pants. she walked down the stairs without looking back at Colin. Skiped down the stairs she grabbed her moms car keys an dashed outside as if something was chasing her.
sliding into the red mustang, she stuck the key in the emission and backed out of the drive. she found herself zooming down the street at an extremaly fast speed. her iphone buzzed in her pocket but she already knew who it was. she hauled it out an pressed answer. she brought it up to her ear keeping one hand on the wheel.
"I'm on my way." Clarisse spoke swiftly, she ended the call and threw the phone onto the passenger seat. she stepped on the gas peddle exceeding the speed limit. she needed to be there as soon as possible.
"What took you so long?" Calvin asked as she climbed out of the parked car.
" i had a miss hap with the brother." Clarisse smile and showed her swollen knuckles to Calvin. Calvin laughed and walked on to the house booming with dance music. "So who's house is this." Calvin pulled a small square of piece of paper from his pocket and read a name.
"Kyra neech. grade 11, her sister zendaya died in a car crash a year ago, and when she passe on she saw that kyra was hitting up her boyfriend and is pissed, she wants revenge. like dead." Calvin sighed stuffing it back in his pocket. Calvin and Clarisse had known eachother since they were 5 years old and had bonded because they both saw things others could obviously not, and ever since then were inseparable, an have become practically partners in ghost business.
"Oh jeez teen age love affairs." Clarisse walked into the house at a fast pace. she climbed onto the kitchen counter with Calvin's support, "All right everyone out the police are there way!" Clarisse screamed as loudly as she could. She watched from there as everyone scurried from the house leaving a huge mess,
"Alright Zenaya. where are ya honey." Calvin countered as soon as he helped Clarisse from the counter. and in that moment a beautiful mocha colored teenage girl appeared.
"What are you doing here?" She hissed
"Saving your sisters ass." Clarisse snidely answered and laughed.
"Who the hell are you....you know what never mind. i will kill her one way or another." Zendaya then disappeared into thin air like Hillary had once done earlier leaving Calvin and Clarisse thinking on their toes.
"What now." Clarisse announced looking down at her feet.
"Well Kyra attends the school that you ll be enrolling into, so i suppose you could try and talk to her, but there's nothing we can about Zendaya for know."
"Great don't even mention that school." Clarisse lifted a red cup one after another downing each one not noticing what she was doing.
"Uhm Clarisse, i should drive you home." Clarisse looke at the now fuzzy Calvin.
"Sounds good." she sai but sure it came out like thounds uud. Calvin laughed at Clarisse and swooped her into his arms without effort. he slid her into the back seat of the mustang and buckle her in. He fumble with her pockets till he found the keys. within a reasonable time Clarisse was home. Calvin carried her in his arms up to the steps, and kicked on the door with his Nike's. Her mother answered the door with a worried face.
"Oh my god Calvin whats wrong with her?" Clarisse's mother patted her forehead.
"She feel asleep." Calvin smile charmingly and steppe inside.
"Dear lord she smells like alcohol. i thought she was done with foolish things like this. alright carry her up to the third floor any of the three rooms are hers."
"Okay. and Heidi i don't have my car so do you mind if i stay the night?" Calvin asked with his nicest smile possible.
"Of course Calvin our home is your home."
"Thank you Heidi." Calvin without another word shoot of the three flights of stairs and walked into the first bedroom he saw. he dropped her on the bed
"All right you can stop faking Nut head." Clarisse laughed and smile up at him. "Now go to sleep were back hunting again tomorrow." Calvin darted across the room and shut off the light.
