Chapter Two

Nine Months Later . . .

Addison and Elisa both awoke. They were both on the ground were the car had hit them the night of the party. It even looked like that same night. The streets were empty and was strangely quiet.

Elisa scratched her head and got up. "Good god, that car hit us." She looked down at Addison. Addison was lying on the ground. Her eyes opened suddenly.

"Did . . . we just get hit by a car?" Addison asked, standing up.

"Yes. Are you okay?" Elisa asked worriedly.

"Yea, I feel fine." She shrugged scratching her head.

"Mierda," Elisa gasped, using her Spanish to cuss. "Your hair and everything is all . . . perfect! Your just a little scratched up right here," She touched a small scratch that was on her jaw and went down just a little, "You'd think that car would've messed you up."

"You were hit, too, so are you okay? And the car didn't damage your hair either." Addison said brushing herself off.

"Really? I'm fine. Just a few scratches." She said gesturing to the few small scratches from her elbow up. "Any on my face?"

"Yea, one." She lightly touched one that was about the size of your pinky that curved on Elisa's right cheek.

"Oh, well. Lets go before our mom's get back to the hotel."

"Yea, I guess we just got lucky. I was sure we were dead. At least we don't have to go to the hospital. If we did we'd defiantly be caught then."

"Mhm, I still find it a bit odd that we didn't get hurt to bad. . . and that the driver just drove off without even stopping to help us . . ."

Addison shrugged, "Guess we got lucky. And the I think the guy was drunk, so he probably didn't really care. Even if he wasn't drunk, there are people out there who don't care about anyone except themselves."

"True, now lets go. If we get caught, our mom's will kill us since the car didn't."

"Right," Addison laughed.

They began to quickly walk back to their hotel. They didn't notice how every time they stopped for a brief second their feet sunk into the ground a little. Elisa walked a little behind Addison, but didn't notice the small glow she gave off, and Addison never noticed Elisa.

Elisa also noticed a few newer shops along the way that had never been there before. She didn't say anything, afraid maybe she was just imaging things. She also didn't want to scare Addison who was very softhearted.

They reached the hotel and went up the stairs to the suite they were all sharing. Addison reached into her bag to pull out their key. She put the card in the door but the small light turned red instead instead of green.

"What? Why can't we get in? This is our room isn't it?" Addison looked at Elisa frowning.

"This is our room . . ." Elisa looked down to think, she noticed that they were sinking, "Joder!" She cursed. "What the heck? We're sinking!" She said trying to pull herself up.

Addison looked down. She had sunk down to about her knee's and so had Elisa. Addison screamed, "Whats going on?"

Elisa used all of her strength to pull her self up from the ground she was sinking in. Then she quickly grabbed Addison's hands and pulled her up. "I have no idea." They began to sink again.

Addison screamed again. "Why are we sinking?"

"I don't know! Hurry up, before we sink all the way! And stop screaming!"

They both quickly pulled their feet out of the ground with great difficulty.

"Maybe, we should keep moving. Lets . . . Lets go to the lobby and see if we can find anything out . . ." Elisa said as she paced, afraid to stand still.

"What about our mom's?" Addison asked.

Elisa bit her lip. She looked around inside the hall. On one of the walls was a clock. "It's only 11:40, so we have some time to kill."

"Right, and they never said we couldn't leave the room. So if they get back and we still cant get in the room, we'll just say we were walking down the halls and our card isn't working."

Elisa nodded. "Yea." She suddenly frowned. "Stop standing still!" She grabbed Addison's arm and pulled up once again.

"Sorry," Addison frowned, "Its almost like it's sucking us down. . . "

Elisa nodded. " Now, lets go to the lobby."

Together they headed down to the lobby. It was empty as well except for the manger who was sleeping behind the desk. He was about in his mid thirty's. He had light brown hair that was slightly grayed and green eyes.

"Lets go ask him, maybe he knows somethin'." Addison said as she pointed to the man.

Elisa nodded, "Alright."

They went up to the man and Addison cleared her throat but the man didn't even stir. "Hello?"

The man continued to sleep, not even twitching. They continued to try and wake him up but their attempts all failed. As they did they began to sink into the ground, and very quickly. Elisa noticed just as their feet disappeared and she pulled them both up.

"This is useless. . . What's going on?" Elisa sighed frustrated.

Addison blinked. "Um . . . before we got up, what did you see?"

Elisa blinked. "A white light . . ."

Addison nodded. "Me to . . ."

Elisa took Addison's arm and they quickly began to pace. "Yea, I remember I was goin' towards the light . . . But then I was thrown backwards . . . It wouldn't let me through, it threw me backwards."

Addison gave her an odd look.

Elisa shrugged. Suddenly she noticed Addison's glow which had suddenly gotten bright. Elisa blinked, "You're glowing . . ." Elisa said, eye wide.

Addison blinked and looked down. "That's weird . . ."

Elisa nodded, "So what happened to you?"

"I made it to the light and it was pulling me towards it. . . I stopped, and took some of the light and put the light I grabbed and put it in myself. I was just about to go in when I saw you. Then I got distracted, and went off course because I saw you . . ."

"Weird . . ." Elisa frowned. "In books . . . the only time you see a white light is when you die." She looked at Addison, "You don't think we're . . .dead do you?"

"NO! How could we be dead? We're walking around aren't we?"

Elisa nodded, "Yes, but we could still be dead. I mean that guy over there couldn't even hear us! And we're sinking into the ground! Stuff like that don't normally happen!"

"So . . . we're ghosts?"

"Maybe . . ."

"If we died . . . are we buried? What is today?"

Elisa frowned. "I dunno. . ."

"There should be a calendar around here somewhere. I mean, all hotels have one."

Maybe there's one over at the front desk." Elisa and Addison walked over to the front desk. Elisa was about to move the small door that separated the front desk from the rest of lobby, but her hand went right through it. Elisa blinked, "Holy mierda! We're dead alright." She said as she walked threw the small door.

Addison frowned, "Did you just walk through that door?" She began to pace again so she didn't sink.

Yes, because we are fantasma, or in English, ghosts." Elisa shrugged. She walked over to the desk and found a large calender tapped down to the desk with small side notes on some of the days. A bunch of the days were crossed out.

Elisa frowned.

"If we're dead why are you acting so calm?" Addison

"Because, Addison, we're dead! Nothing in the real world matters to us anymore! But I can prove we're dead and why we couldn't get into our rooms." Elisa walked away from the desk and began to pace with Addison. "The party we went to, you remember that right? Well, that was oh I dunno, nine months ago."

"No it was just a little while ago,"

Elisa sighed, knowing Addison was going to have a hard time believing her. "What more proof do you need? We're sinking, we go through things, people can't hear us, and nine months has gone by. Do you wanna see your grave, too?"

Addison shook her head. "No, its fine. It's just a lot to take in right now."

Elisa nodded, "Yea, I know." She took Addison's hand as they paced.

Addison smiled up at her. "So, what do we do now?"

Elisa frowned and thought a moment. "I dunno. I guess we should see if there are any other ghosts. I mean its not like we're the only one's. Right? Maybe someone else can explain whats going on. And while we do that we can head home I guess."

Addison nodded. "Do you know where home is?"

"Well I know the general direction."

Addison sighed, "Good enough I guess."

They began to walk out when Elisa noticed something on Addison. It was a small gash from where she busted his head open. It wasn't really big but from behind you could really see it. "Um, Addison? You know when you fell on the ground? I think you busted your head open . . ."

She shrugged, like it was nothing. "It ain't hurtin' nothin', and whats it matter? I'm dead."

She had a point so Elisa just went with it.

Together they walked out of the town and headed back to their home. Along the way they found several spots that they could sit and rest and not sink. They didn't understand why but there wasn't anyone they could ask to help them understand so they just went with it. They continued to walk and they had a strange craving for food, but yet they knew they didn't need it. They traveled for miles and miles, seeing things they weren't sure if they should be there. Eventually they reached an empty lot. There was one kid there. She had sleek black hair and green eyes. She looked as if she was waiting for something. The girl looked up and smiled at them. It wasn't a very welcoming smile, but it also wasn't unfriendly either. She wore dark blue jeans and a plain navy blue shirt. Her hair was pulled back into a tight pony tail.

"Um, hi?" Addison said, unsure if the girl was able to hear them or not, but she was almost certain that she could.

"Hello. Mm, you all are a bunch of new Afterlights aren't you?" The girl said, her voice was soft and quiet.

"Afterlights? Whats that?" Addison asked.

"I'll take that as a yes. You do know your dead at least, right?"

They both nodded.

"Good. This, is the in between, the place you go when you don't cross over to the light. Welcome, to Everlost."
