Ellen's POV
I slammed the door to my locker and frowned. Danny had been acting weird all day. He even left me to his weird friend in the beret. The only interesting thing that happened was the crazy ghost lady at lunch. I blew my hair out of my face and smiled. That ghost boy was fun to mess with.
Sam walked up to me and smiled. "Hey, Ellen. What's up?" She slung her spider backpack over her shoulder and started walking with me.
I rolled my eyes. "School, school, and more school. I think I'm gonna go home and rest up a bit." I really needed to go for a fly. Maybe I'll run into the ghost boy.
Sam nodded in understanding. "Yeah, well, I'll see you around." She turned around and started walking away. She stopped. "Hey, Ellen? You wouldn't want to hang out later, would you? You know, after you rest up?"
I smiled. "Sure. Sounds great." I should be able to fly around for a couple hours before meeting up with her. "How about the Nasty Burger around six?" I should be able to get some flying done before then.
Sam smiled. "Great." She frowned. "Sorry Danny didn't have time to show you around today."
I frowned slightly. Danny was supposed to show me around today? I smiled and nodded. Yeah, I remember something about that. "That's fine. He was probably busy. But next time he gets busy, do you think you can show me around? Tucker was starting to creep me out."
Sam laughed. "Sure." She turned around. "See you at the Nasty Burger at six." I waved and headed toward my house. It wan't huge or anything, but it was nice.
My brother was still there, though he said he was going to be heading back to college soon. Yeah, I have a brother. And he's a huge history buff. Ask him anything about World War II. He could probably name you each and everyone of the most important soldiers, he could probably name a few unimportant ones too. Drake is also the only one I've ever told I'm half ghost. Of course, he didn't believe me, so I had to show him. Then he believed me. So he covered for me a lot.
I opened the door to our house. "Honey, I'm home!" I called mockingly.
Drake ran down and smirked at me. "What's up, GG?" And he has a stupid nickname for me. Of course, he's the only one ever aloud to call me that.
I shrugged. "Nothing much, bro. Fought a ghost, listened to our cousin's friend brag about his PDA, and went to school. You know, the usual." I went to the kitchen and grabbed an apple. "I'm going to go for a flight before I go hang out with Sam. She said she wanted to hang out at the Nasty Burger." I looked up at him. He had a dubious look on his face. "It has some really good food, I promise."
Drake shook his head. "That's not what I'm worried about." He walked up and put his hand on my shoulder. "Sis, you really shouldn't be using your powers all the time. What if you get caught by Mom or Dad? And now we have Aunt Maddie and Uncle Jack to worry about."
I shrugged off his shoulder. "Relax, bro. I've got it under control. Besides, this city needs me. It's like ghosts are attracted to it or something. I think it has something to do with this ghost boy. He's always at the scene of the ghost attacks."
"Still," Drake insisted. "You should be careful. I wouldn't want my favorite baby sister to get caught."
I rolled my eyes. "I'm your only sister." I gave him a hug. "But thanks for caring, bro. It means a lot."
Drake smiled. "Hey, it's what I do." He grabbed a out of the fridge. "I'm going back to college on Monday. You better start being careful. I can't be here if I'm over in Stanford trying to become a teacher."
I smiled. "You'll be a great teacher, you know that?" I gave him a hug. "I'll be fine. I gotta go or I won't get any flying in before I have to go see Sam." I headed for the door. "Later, bro."
When I got outside, I went into the nearby alley and transformed into Electra. And then I took off. Let me explain flying, or let me try. It's nothing like anyone has ever felt before. You can fly on a plane, but you will never feel the rush that I can feel right now.
Imagine you're riding a wind rushing against your face as you ride. The only thing stopping you from getting seriously injured is a helmet and a little bit of metal. Now imagine all of that, but without the bike, without the helmet, and there is nothing stopping you from crashing into the next wall besides your common sense. It's invigorating.
I looked at my watch and frowned. It was 5:30. If I didn't transform back and head to the Nasty Burger now, I was going to be late. I groaned when my ghost sense went off. "Not now!" I muttered. "I'm going to be so late."
I turned around to see the ghost kid floating beside me. I rolled my eyes. "Great, it's you again. What do you want? I'm kind of in a hurry."
"What are you doing in my town?" He demanded. "Woah woah, his town? That's funny. I don't remember seeing his name anywhere on it. Then again, I don't think I know what his name really is. Maybe it's Casper. Then the school would have been named after him. Oooh, that would mean he was famous a long time ago. What did he ask again? He stared at me annoyed. "Are you going to answer my question? I think I have a right to know."
I rolled onto my back. "Lighten up, Gumdrop. This is not just your town anymore. It's mine too. And don't worry. I won't mess with your precious after-life, so long as you don't mess with mine. Got it?" Without waiting for an answer, I took off behind an old warehouse and transformed back before the ghost boy could find me. I grinned. Maybe i can still make it to my meeting at the Nasty Burger with Sam.
Okay, I finally updated this story. For those of you who were giving up on this story, have hope. I will be updating more often. I will be posting a chapter everyday, just not always of this story.
Disclaimer, I own nothing but Electra. If only though, right? Yeah, probably not a good idea.
So, love it, hate it, just don't forget to review it. Will update again soon.
