"Blah" Ghosts speaking

Chapter 2

Last time...

"Wait... ya can see meh?"

"I so hate you Crescent." Cassie hissed under her breath.

~x~

~x~

The dark skinned spirit walked around the people in the ambulance and leapt down in front of Crescent and Cassie. The former was poking the other spirit with a weird look on her face.

"'ey that tickles!" The other spirit edged away from her as he gazed at the two of them through dark sunglasses with his bright blue eyes. Cassie noted the silver jacket, black muscle shirt and jeans that he was wearing lacked any kind of blood unlike some of the ghosts she had seen in the past. His dark hair was in tasteful cornrows, each capped off in silver beads.

Crescent stop poking him.

"But are you not seeing this? He's weird..."

"'ey!"

No pissing off the other ghosts I don't want an incident like that one time. Cassie glared. She watched Crescent give her the finger which had the other ghost laughing. Before she could reply a hand came down on her head and started to give her a noogie.

"Wakey wakey..." Sam said loudly dragging her back to the real conversation. Cassie squirmed under his grip.

"Damn it Sam if you don't let me go I swear I will throw ice water in your bed the next time you sleep in." she growled as she finally escaped from his grasp. He laughed as she yanked her hair tie out and began to fix her hair. "You know I hate it when someone touches my hair."

"Oh come on Cass it's not like it harms you."

"Jerk." She said with a glare. She risked a quick glimpse over at Crescent who was still talking to the other ghost.

"Let me introduce you to Ratchet Cassie." Sam pulled her over in front of the man who was talking to Bee. "Ratchet this is my cousin Cassandra."

"Cassie." she supplied with a sour glance at Sam before holding her hand out. The man took her hand with a warm smile.

"Nice to meet you miss Cassandra. Samuel was telling me about you before you came out of the house."

Cassie shot Sam a glare.

"Oohh I know that look... you wanna throat punch him don't you?" Crescent commented as she came over and leaned against her. "Could I do it? I'm really sick and tired of him telling everyone you're nuts for seeing me."

"Ya can't be serious.." ghost gave the two of them a dubious look.

Crescent shrugged. "Seeing ghosts isn't common. Nor is it believed in by most cultures or scientifically backed in any way Jazz."

Jazz? Great now you're on a first name basis? Cassie fought hard not to groan aloud.

"Eh." Crescent shrugged again.

"Yoohoo."

"Sam get that hand out of my face. I'm only zoning out from my fricking meds." Cassie said in an attempt to cover her glares at Crescent and the other ghost. "Look I only came out here to tell you that Ron and Judy left a note saying that they won't be back till late. So I figured I'd order a 'Za, but to do so I need cash."

Sam began to fish out his wallet and handed her a twenty. She raised a brow. "I hope you don't mind veggies you carnivore." she commented before he grumbled and pulled out another twenty. "Thanks." she said as she turned and headed back to the house.

"'ey hol' up for meh!" 'Jazz' called as he followed her and Crescent around the house.

"Damn it Crescent what have I told you time and time again?" Cassie growled as soon as they were out of earshot of the others.

"I'm sorry?"

"I should salt the damned doors to keep you out."

"Salt? Wha' do ya need salt for?" Jazz blinked.

Crescent blinked at him. "You must not have been dead for too long now have you? Salt is a ward against spirits."

"In other words it will keep you out." she said with a glare.

"Ah ain't gonna harm ya."

"That's nice to know but it still doesn't mean I trust you." Cassie said as she went back into the house. Leaving the two spirits standing out in the yard.

"So how is it that she can see us?"

"Me." Crescent said with a nonexistent sigh. "You can't see it can you?" The blonde haired ghost said with a sad smile.

"You're twins..."

"Yep."

"But... how is she still alive if you're dead? That doesn't make sense..."

Crescent looked at the other spirit, the glowing sphere of blue energy almost blindingly bright. "You're not normal are you?"

"Now wha' gave tha' away?"

"You better not harm anyone here or I will make you regret it." Crescent said her eyes narrow.

"Ah meant wha' Ah said 'bout not harmin' anyone. It's against my code of honah." The orb said as it pulsed brightly.

"Just what are you anyways?"

"Ah'm one of a kind." Jazz grinned.

~x~

Bee pov~

~x~

"Medications?" Ratchet asked as the brunette girl stalked off to the house.

"Cassie suffered from a few psychological disorders... Schizophrenia, depression, bipolarism, and ADHD. She's pretty heavily medicated for her depression and the schizophrenia." Sam supplied as Ratchet hmmed in response.

:Odd one that youngling...:

:She didn't seem 'spaced out' like she claimed.: Bee replied over the comlink. :In fact she's having a one sided argument with herself back here.:

:Oh?:

:Something about salt and keeping someone out... after she scolded 'Crescent'.:

:Crescent?:

:Ask Sam.:

"Samuel... just who is Crescent?" Ratchet glanced over at the teen.

Sam sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "My cousin Artemis, she was Cassie's twin sister. She died about five years ago... It's also the name for Cassie's alternate personality..."

Ratchet hmmed again.

~x~

~xTimeSkipx~

~Cassie's pov~

~x~Dream sequence~x~

Blood coated her fingers as she clutched her sister's hand... "Crescent stay with me... Just hold on please.." She wept, her gray eyes flowing with tears as she cried and squirmed in the crushed vehicle, trying to reach her twin.

"Cassie..."

The paramedics finally wrenched the door closest to her off the mangled frame of the vehicle. "Hold on sweetie you're going to be okay..." a voice told her as they cut the twisted metal away from her body.

"No help her help my sister please!"

"They're working on it..."

"Please!" she cried.

I'm sorry Cassie...

"Artemis!"

~x~

Cassie sat straight up on her bed, drenched in a cold sweat. With shaking hands she wiped the tears in her eyes as arms wrapped themselves around her shoulders...

"it's okay Cassie I'm right here..."

"Crescent..." She sobbed, a deep ache in her chest sprung up as she tried to fight of the nightmare...

"Shh... just let it go..."

Tears welled in her eyes as she curled in on herself, trying to steady her breathing. A quick glance the clock told her what she already knew, that it was five in the morning... The same time that she woke from her nightmare every day... The same time that her twin had died that god cursed foggy morning...

"Are ya okay?"

He's still here? Her eyes shot to the corner where Jazz was currently lounging. Why didn't he go with the ambulance?

"He said he wasn't tethered to it... and that he'd figured he'd hang out here with Bee and Sam for a few days before going back to shadowing his other friends." Crescent grinned as she poked at Jazz. "Besides, I get to hang out with someone besides you for a change."

"Ya know that usin' your twin bond to talk is cheatin' right? It leaves me outta da loop." Jazz complained.

"That's your loss then." Cassie said as she uncurled from her position and swung her legs over the edge of the bed. "I might as well get up. You." she pointed to Jazz. "Out. I am not getting dressed in front of you."

"Bashful are we?" A bright grin was flashed at her slight blush.

"Get out. Both of you. I'll meet you down in the yard in five Crescent." Cassie said as she pulled her clothes for the day out.

"Morning warm up?"

"But of course."

~Bee Pov~

Bumblebee onlined his processors when the girl had exited the house and slowly made her way to the dew kissed ground with a sigh as she stared at the predawn sky with a smile. "Just perfect... though I think it will rain later today... I can smell the petricor on the wind..." she trailed off.

Bee half considered activating his holoform when she glared over to her right with an irritated expression on her face as she snapped, "Yes I'm fine with wearing black I don't plan on getting caught in the freaking rain Crescent." her expression turned sour. "Look just shut it. The both of you." Cassie glared again before sighing and beginning to stretch.

Both? Bee blinked his hidden optics. Now she is talking to someone else? He thought absentmindedly as she finally began running through a whirling set of moves: punches, kicks, ducks, rolls... if he didn't know any better he'd swear that she was actually sparring with someone...

She gave a yelp and twisted to the side as her eyes darted from side to side. "Two against one is cheating..."

Bee sighed as he gave into his curiosity and activated his holoform.

~Cassie pov~

Cassie had just evaded a feint when Jazz leapt into their sparring match with a grin as he tag teamed her with Crescent. The twosome were circling her as she growled, "Two against one is cheating..."

"Who are you talking to?"
