[quote=Finn][color=LightSteelBlue]"Wait! Wait I...I k-know this place! Trent! I only live a...a block away! And my n-neighbor has a telephone in his house we can use!"[/color][/quote]

"Huh?"

Zoey said as Finn grabbed the other kid and just walked on out like all of this shit was normal. Some shit didn't add up, and it took Zoey another second for it all to register.

"[i]Huh?![/i]"

Okay, that didn't make a [i]lick[/i] of sense to Zoey. This place looked straight out of some kinda movie, and she's way, way, too youn- 

There was some supernatural fuckery involved here. [i]Again[/i]. It felt like every fucking day of her life was going to be dominated by this shit... maybe that friend of hers was right. Zoey shook her head as she realized that she had to stay on task. The kids were wandering into what could be a trap.

[quote=Isla]“Do you think we should follow them, or just leave them to go on a stupid adventure?”[/quote]

Zoey narrowed her eyes at Isla.

"... Was that a fucking question, sister?" Zoey flatly asked as she pulled out a cigarette - her last one - and lit it. Because she's going to need it. She couldn't believe this girl thought that was even a question, to begin with. The last thing that Zoey was going to do was-

Wait?

Where are Penny and Odessa? God damn it, god [i]fucking[/i] damn it. This was going to hell in a handbasket, and Zoey had to keep cool. Okay, so, Penny's gone. So that meant that they were down a leader and the closest thing they had was here. Because giving Isla or Stacey a look, they weren't going to be able to find their ass with two hands. Okay, she had to think rationally... she had to go after the kids as fast as possible, but she also didn't want to separate further. There's already like a few of them as it is - also she thought that leaving Hagan with Stacey was a bad, [i]bad, [b]bad[/b][/i] idea so he should come with them.

"Hagan!" Zoey screamed at the top of her lungs. "We gotta go!"

And Hagan came out of the office looking like he was about to fistfight. Hagan looked around and looked down at Stacey as he decided to just walk past them. Hagan looking at Stacey reminded Zoey... well, he looked like hot shit right now, but so did all of them. They would all be able to have a nice break when they find Penny and get the kids on a nice little leash. 

"Stacey..." Zoey trailed off, restraining from letting venom seep into her words. "... Come with us, please."

Honestly, if he didn't want to come along, that was on him. With that first Apparition gunning for his ass... and Zoey shook her head in guilt as she realized that Caelea's death was [i]all her fault[/i]. Still, they have a chance to avoid someone else's death and they needed to do it. Like now. Zoey followed after Isla who was following after the two and Hagan were right behind her.

Zoey ran through the people like they weren't even there, they were ghosts like the rest of them. However, Zoey didn't watch her step and found herself stumbling forward. "Shit!" Zoey hissed as she fell onto her hands and knees and shook her head... but one of the people that were phantasms stopped. And looked at her. It was a tall man with brown slicked back hair, wearing black pants, and a blue button-up shirt with a tie and dress shoes. He smiled at her... as people walked by.

"̷I̶n̶ ̷P̵a̸r̴a̶d̶i̶s̴e̶,̶"̵ He started off, "̷D̶e̸a̴t̴h̸ ̴c̶o̸m̴e̵s̸ ̷f̸o̵r̷ ̵e̵v̸e̴r̵y̷o̶n̶e̷,̸ ̷l̶i̸t̸t̴l̸e̷ ̵o̶n̴e̴.̷ ̴I̷t̴'̵l̶l̷ ̶t̶a̷k̸e̶ ̵y̷o̷u̸ ̶l̷i̵k̴e̵ ̴i̴t̸ ̸t̸o̶o̵k̷ ̵y̶o̴u̸r̷ ̴f̵r̴i̴e̴n̶d̴.̶ ̷A̵n̵d̸ ̶t̵h̵e̵ ̵f̵r̸i̵e̸n̸d̴s̷ ̷b̷e̶f̸o̴r̸e̴.̴ ̸A̶n̵d̷ ̸y̵o̸u̶r̵ ̵d̵e̴a̷t̵h̵ ̴i̷s̶ ̷l̸o̶o̸m̷i̴n̸g̵ ̷o̵n̶ ̷t̸h̵e̶ ̷h̸o̶r̴i̷z̶o̵n̶.̶ A̸r̴e̴ ̸y̸o̷u̶ ̴r̸e̷a̸d̶y̶ ̸t̵o̶ ̷g̵o̷,̶ ̷l̵i̷t̵t̷l̴e̶ ̸o̵n̶e̴?̸"̷

Zoey was frozen in shock... before a white-hot rage overcame her as she stuck her hand out and screamed at the ghost, "Fuck you!"

A stream of snow came out of her hand and collided with him... but he was gone and the snow just hit the ground.

"... Who the fuck was that?" Hagan asked.
