A ghost was sitting cross-legged in front of Kuri. The ghost's name was Claire.
Claire had short, red hair in curls, hazel eyes, and freckles. She was wearing a green tank top and red shorts. Her clothes and body sported burns.
Unfortunately, Kuri had made a deal with the ghost: if she got Sam to leave Kuri alone, Kuri would own Claire a favor.
"I got Sam to go away." Claire said. "Now come with me."
A little worried, Kuri followed Claire. She knew she should have told Jacob, but she didn't want to worry him. She caused him enough trouble.
Suddenly Kuri heard the sound of crackling flames and screaming. The real Claire wasn't dead at all, she was trapped in an old dead burning tree.
Kuri jumped in the hole to save her, and the branches closed in around her. "No! Claire wait!"
Claire turned and smiled, looking just like Kuri. "We're even."
