Part 2
Golden Ghost



Shalimar watched from the church rafters. It was weird to see her dead body laying in the casket below her. She knew that she had died. She remembered the pain of it, the light that she so desperately wanted to run into. But the sound of Brennan's mournful howl when he saw that she died was enough to keep her from ascending to heaven, or whatever afterlife that was waiting her. She knew that she couldn't leave him, she knew he needed her. She loved him with everything she had in her body. She laughed at herself. Well maybe not so much with her body anymore, now it was just her soul. Shalimar thought about that for a moment, That was even better. To love him with her soul, the very thing that made her who she was, it was so much more personal and deep that just loving physically.
The golden ghost watched as her love stood looking at her shell of a body, she wanted to yell out to him, to tell him that she was still here, that she hadn't left him yet. but her voice was gone. Just as well, she thought, he most likely wouldn't hear me even if i screamed. Shalimar floated down from the rafters and followed her tall, dark love out of the church. She saw the tears rolling down his face, her heart, or whatever it was she had now, broke as she watched him get into her car and turn the key.

Quickly shalimar hopped on the back of the car and road along as Brennan drove around aimlessly. * Where are you going Brennan?* she whispered softly. the look on his face was pained and tight, and it looked like he hadn't slept in days.
I'm going to the place you loved Shalimar Brennan said softly. Shalimar gasped in surprise. did he hear me? she blinked and watched his face.
I can't feel you anymore, not in sanctuary, not in the church.... Maybe, just maybe I'll feel you in this place you loved so much his face didn't change, but Shalimar could see, feel the pain he was in. she wondered if this is what Emma's life was like, always being infiltrated with the guilt, pain, and sadness of others and not really knowing how to fix it all. Shalimar sighed and then realized where Brennan was going. *Tiger Moon Mountain!* her voice was breathless and soft. * I love it her... but when did i?...* she thought back a bit and realized that she had shown brennan this place when they were driving around after dropping off a new mutant to a safe house for Adam. The safe house was close by this place and she knew Brennan would love it, so she showed him. *I never showed anyone else this place* she watched Brennan's face again. You never showed anyone else this place, I don't think... this was for us... just us.

Brennan pulled over to the view spot Shalimar loved the most and stopped the car.
You loved the view here he got out of the car and walked to the edge of the lookout cliff. The sun was going down over the smaller mountains and hills. the sky was painted with reds and golds, blues and purples, pinks and oranges. It was a magnificent feast for the eyes. Brennan's eyes seemed to stay on the gold colors, like he was drinking it in.
The gold reminds me of you Shalimar, it fits you to so well. It's so fiery, so pure. Like the way you made me feel when i was around you. Brennan's voice was nothing but a soft whisper, and the light breeze caught and flew it away.
Shalimar walked up behind him and wondered what would happen if she touched him. Would he feel it? would he know it was me? She became nervous and anxious, as she wanted to feel him under her hands.
*Oh Brennan....* her ghostly voice sighed in an soft way. Brennan turned as if he had heard her. Looking around, his eyes passed over where she was standing, then fell on her.
