Now would be a good time to post an Ember fic (remember, remember the fifth of November...), but you're getting Val instead. Hope you don't mind... :)
Scared
November 5, 2011
She wasn't the first choice for Amity's foremost ghost hunter.
Ghosts gave her the creeps. Always had. Horror movies freaked her out and she couldn't stand Halloween. Although she got piles of chocolate and candy, the ghosts, ghouls, and skeletons were almost enough to counter-balance any benefit she found from the annual sugar-rush.
And while she wouldn't admit it to anyone, she was still scared of them. She screamed almost every time one popped up around her on patrol.
But it didn't matter that she was scared.
They messed with her life, so she was going to mess with theirs.
I find it funny that Valerie screams whenever she sees ghosts. XD I mean, I would too, but she actively pursues them...
