Continuing directly from the end of Chapter 2. Thank you all for your comments and critiques. 🙂

“I..am..so..sorry.” G.G. cries through broken sobs. Anger and sadness paint my features as I look at her.

Silently willing her to tell me why. To give me some sort of explanation of how Ashley is ok, of how she’s just

sleeping. I hear a small whimpering and I realize it’s coming from me and I start to cry fresh tears. “What is

your name?” I ask her, a steely calm coating my voice, in spite of the tears flowing from my eyes.

“Kylie, it’s Kylie..” She says in a small break from her sobs. She starts again and ceases floating. Falling to

her transparent knees she begins to talk. “I..I didn’t know..that there was another spirit like me here. As soon

as soon you left me, she appeared before me and blew a strange wind at me. As it hit me, I felt myself getting

weaker and weaker..until I couldn’t even materialize. My power started returning slowly but the rate of it’s

return was too slow. You had already gotten here before it fully came back. The imposter, copied my form and

deceived you. I could only watch, invisible and silently as she forced you to take her. The energy released was

so strong I managed to speed up my recovery and come to you now.”

My tears have dried and stopped running.
