They turn to look at me. "What?" I exclaim indignantly.

"Well you were Dauntless," Caleb gives me a pointed look. "Are there any secret passageways running along the side of that death pit?

"Not that I know of, but Tris mentioned one once. Where is your best friend when you need her?"

"Um, right here!" We turn around and gape at the two ghosts that suddenly appeared.

Cara and Caleb look like they are about to faint. I guess they have had too much paranormal activity for one day.

I turn back to the ghosts. They look like Tris and Four.

"You guys are Tris and Four right?" I ask hesitantly. Ghost Four and ghost Tris nod. "Sorry, but we have had a long day filled with paranormal activity, death," I glare at Four, who shifts uncomfortably, "and betrayal."

"Its ok." Tris comforts me. She comes up and gives me an air hug.

"I wish I could hug you. If I did, you would freeze to death."

I smile, it feels good to have my best friend back.

"So about this passageway…" ghost Tris starts.

"We know where it is." ghost Four finishes. He whispers something to Tris, and she half blushes, half laughs. I wonder if death changed them, or if I have just not been seeing them the way they are. It is probably the latter, since Caleb and ghost Four are "subtly" glaring at each other.

"So how do you know about this passageway that runs along the side of the chasm with a trapdoor leading to four metric tons of death serum?" Caleb asks, still slightly glaring at Four.

"I worked in the control rooms." He says simply. "It was also the the site of our first kiss," ghost Four's mouth forms a grin as he goes up to ghost Tris and puts his arms around her.

Caleb face turns as red as a tomato as he continues to glare at ghost Four.

I laugh quietly as Caleb turns even redder, watching Four and his little sister make out. He knows he can't do anything about it though. After all, he can't break them apart.

They are ghosts.

Hey guys sorry for not posting. There was some kind of bug with the last one and I didn't know if everyone could see the update.

Hopefully this one doesn't have that bug.

Let me know what you think please: BE CANDOR!

Please answer two questions...

1. Did I overuse the word ghost?

2. Is it too fantasy? I know it is on the fence (or railing) of the genres Sci-Fi and Fantasy, but I want to make sure I don't fall off into the chasm.

Thanks! Again sorry for not posting.

Special shout out to a certain Guest... CC... Thanks for being so supportive! You truly are my comrade! (Inside joke... sorry CC)

I will post again once I am done with the next little "scene."

Please review...
