“Save Me! You can keep the Key, for all I care! And take your old Book! Please?” Calimiel cried. Aislan blinked at her, and Alearindu was just as confused.
“What’s the matter with her?” Aislan whispered to Alearindu, and Calimiel paled by the second.
“It’s as if she’s seen a ghost…” Alearindu whispered, and Aislan grinned.
“I wouldn’t be surprised, if such was the case,” Aislan turned ever so slightly to face the doorway, where a glimmering ghost hovered inches above the ground. Why would Calimiel be so frightened by another one of the castle patrons?
“What is it?” Alearindu asked, and stared at the doorway.
“Another ghost…” Aislan replied.
“Please help!” Calimiel cried, stunning Aislan and Alearindu into action. Save her from another ghost? Or at least a fellow Castle being? Aislan was quite confused to begin with, and Alearindu seemed even more so.
“Where’ll we go to get away from a ghost?” Aislan wondered aloud, though to no one in particular.
“The stables? Outside? Somewhere!” Alearindu continued the thought.
