Broken Rose:
Rini raced through the hall not caring whether or not people looked at her funny. She knew exactly where Amara was. It was the most obvious place to look! No wonder she hadn't thought to look there. Amara had an unnatural like for graveyards. She would go to as many as possible. People sometimes made fun of her, but Rini knew the real reason Amara was obsessed with graveyards, she had sworn Rini to secrecy.
*Flashback*
Amara just stood there, she wouldn't move. Even after a funeral it was late to be standing looking at a grave, especially at someone else's grave. Her eyes were glazed over and she was muttering under her breath. Rini could distinctly hear the words, 'murder' and, 'regret.' Rini tapped Amara on the back but she did not notice, it was as if she was in a trance. The only other person she had ever seen in a trance was Raye. All of a sudden Amara's eyes changed in a way that was so subtle that it wasn't noticeable if you weren't looking for it. Amara was startled to see Rini.
"You have to promise me you won't tell ANYONE about this, Rini," she said frowning a bit.
"Ok…"
"Promise me, Rini!"
"Ok, I promise."
"Thank you."
*End Flashback*
While Rini had been lost in thought, her feet had carried her to the graveyard she knew so well. Sure enough, Amara was sitting there, her eyes glazed over as usual, but this time there was an almost pleading look in her eyes. "Let me go…please…I can help you…" her voice said with a strained tone.
"No one has so far, so why should I believe you? You aren't any different! If I were to let you go you would just turn your back on me, but now…now things are going my way," said a feminine voice from Amara. Well, her lips were moving and she was definitely talking, but the voice and words were not hers.
"Please…Rini…hurry up…you're the only one who can help me…" Amara's eyes were now becoming clear again. "Oh, God…no…please…" and before she knew what was happening, Rini barreled into Amara sending her jerking forward. "Rini?" she asked blinking her eyes.
"What?"
"I was so scared…I thought she was going to take over my body…" Amara said, she was taking slow shuddering breaths and her eyes were closed.
"I never thought I'd ever see you scared."
"You didn't? I'm scared a lot."
"What did she look like?"
"I don't know, you can't see these people. They're dead."
"Little one told me you were looking for me."
"I wasn't…she can be really unpredictable sometimes."
"She can also be a real pain."
"Yea?"
"Yea, she can get annoying…just don't let her know I said that."
"I won't," Amara said crossing her fingers behind her back, "besides, I don't need to…Emily already knows."
"Who is Emily?"
"Emily is her little 'ghost friend.' Did you know that invisible friends aren't really figments of a person's imagination but a ghost about the person's age who clings to them because they miss being alive."
"So, you're telling me that this little ghost girl is going to report everything we said here today."
"She might, she might not."
"What do you mean?"
"She means that if you ask me nicely I might not tell Sere," a small clear voice said joining their conversation.
"Hi Em," Amara said a smile slowly creeping onto her face.
"I guess you must be Emily, it is a pleasure to meet you," Rini said and a small laugh is heard.
"'Mara, don't let Mantina get to you, she was murdered and she's been trying to get back at the guy who did it," said Emily.
"She was murdered? By who?" Rini asked curiously.
"By some guy named Helios," said Emily.
