A screeching noise made me jump out of unconsciousness and bolt upright in my borrowed bed. I blinked, clearing my blurred sight.

A tree scratched the large bay window making me jump again. You're becoming unbelievable! A tree? Please! I groaned and hopped lightly out of the bed onto the cold wood floor.

I walked over to the window and looked up to see a cloudless night the stars were lighting up the sky making me smile. You're finally safe. The screeching came again and it wasn't the tree against the window.

I turned slowly expecting to see someone. Maybe Tori's trying to scare me? Unlikely. Everyone's probably sound asleep.

Jealousy over-came me for a second before I snapped it back in its place. Again the deaf defying screech that could wake the dead came again.

My body stiffened. "Is anyone there?" I asked quietly. There was a low guttural moan.

"If you want to talk to me you have to show yourself." No reply. "Fine you mess with me, I'll pull you through." I mentally tugged and saw a figure materializing before me.

It was a woman. She was in jeans and a plain t-shirt her hair was in a high ponytail. She looked angry. But her grimace turned into a smirk.

"Yes necro?" She asked playfully. My hands were shaking. 'S s s s stop m m m messing around w w w with me." "Well little necro aren't you a pleasant one?"

"Leave m m me alone o o or I'll slam you b b back into your c c corpse." I tried to sound confident but I don't think that was successful.

She narrowed her eyes. "Fine little necro. I'll leave. But remember this. You're nowhere near safe." She began to fade away. I wanted to ask her what she meant but she was already gone.

Now I'll never get back to sleep! I really hate ghosts. The door opened. "Chloe who are you talking to?" Derek's low voice made me feel okay for a second. "A ghost." I whispered still slightly taken aback by the whole thing. "Sorry I woke you. It's gone."

"You should have woken me up." He growled. 'Well I don't think you could've done anything to help and I figured you should sleep." He rolled his eyes not trying to hide it from me.

"Go back to bed now I'm fine." He nodded and walked out the door. I sat on my bed and pulled my knees to my chest. What could the ghost have meant by"You're nowhere near safe"?
