-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Skye looked at the door were Claire ran trough.

She's gone…

He looked in the hand he hadn't cut there was the pouch if diamonds he placed them in her rucksack.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhhgrh"he yelled in frustration.

He left to his tent.

Skye looked in a puddle.

Why me…

Skye looked at his watch 9:36pm time to go.

He left to the road and went to the entrance by the time he got there it was past 10:10pm. She should be here!

"Maybe I should go to her house?" Skye then nodded to his own question.

Once he got there he looked at the two houses one very small the other was large and the lights were on, he chose that one and took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

After a wile the girl came to the door looked in the window to see who it was she sighed then unlocked the door.

Her big blue eyes shined in the moonlight she looked very sad but was still beautiful.

"I-"was all Skye said before being cut off.

"Spare your breath I know why you here…I was kind of hoping you wouldn't come." she sighed.

She motioned for him to come in. Skye followed her into the house. The floor was wooden and had a bunch of different patterned orange rugs, the wallpaper was orange and darker orange striped horizontally, when you walk in you see the living room witch had a cream colored couch a coffee table with a place mat on it and a lamp.

"Your house is lovely may I sit?" Skye asked.

"Sure would you like some cocoa?" Claire asked heading to the kitchen.

When's the last time I had cocoa?…41 years? It was nice?

"Sure" Skye replied.

A few minutes later Claire came in with two cups of cocoa, and set them down on the table. She looked at him waiting for him to say something.

"Sooo…there's no easy way to explain this…I'm not the same as everyone else." Skye began but was interrupted.

"No Kidding your wound fully healed in 3 seconds flat! THAT IS NOT NORMAL!" Claire yelled.

Skye breathed then continued. "No I'm no longer mortal you see I'm a phantom when I was 21 I was considered the most cold and sore soul the Harvest Queen could see, so she made me a phantom technically I'm 21 but actually I'm 71!" Skye explained.

"I can't believe this prove your 71."Claire questioned.

Skye thought for a moment then said "Ah my dog tags read them." wile taking them off and showing her.

"I was in world war two." Skye said. Claire moved her fingers over them and read aloud "Skye Steiner…".

She stopped then looked at him and asked "Why are you telling me this I've only known you three days?"

Skye sighed and replied "I guess I've been wanting to tell some one and now I have a friend to tell"

They looked at each other for a long time till Claire said "I'm glad to be you friend."

She's calling me a friend.

"I have to get to bed so my sister doesn't raid my kitchen…I guess you have to go…"Claire said

"I guess so…"Skye said till Claire said "You could sleep on my couch…if you want?"

A place to sleep she is wonderful!

"Yes……thank you." Skye said and Claire nodded left the room for a wile then came back in her pajamas and a blanket and pillow in her hands. She gave them top him said goodnight and disappeared into her room.

Then they both went to bed.
