Ellie opened her eyes and showed off her eyes instead of a white sclera it was a light yellow while her iris was a golden yellow.
"What's wrong with you guys? You act like you've seen the grim reaper." Ellie asked as she sat up.
"Well we've seen something close to that." Danny said with a smile happy that his self appointedcousin was alright.
"I wasn't worried" Dan chimed in as he floated upside down with his face right in front Ellie.
Ellie waved him away with her hand only to hit Dan with electricity which caused his hair to frizz up. Ellie and Danny struggled to hold in laughter only to fail at the serious look Dan was giving them.
"I'm sorry to interrupt but I believe Ellie should take a look at her appearance." Clockwork interjected.
Ellie approached the nearby mirror and was surprised at what she saw 'I'm a full ghost' she gave herself a once over and was pleased. Ellie concentrated on her human form and was shocked to see her old face looking back at her with the added addition of freckles.
Deciding she liked her natural form better she reverted back to it and walked to Dan"How come I'm able to disguise myself as a human?"
"That's easy, since you were human once you can assume your old appearance." Dan explained.
"It's been nice seeing you Danny, Clockwork I have to go now." Ellie said beforeshe gave anyone the chance torespond she and Dan left faster than theythought waspossible.
"Ellie" Dan said as heflew beside her letting herlead the way.
"Hmm?" Ellie questioned
"Where are we going?" Dan asked as hefocused on her.
"To the riverStyx I want see what kind of ghostanimals there are!" Elliereplied as she flew.
"I see.." Dan replied astheyfinally reached theirdestination. The river was a bright blue that glowed faintly. While the grass was a neon green.The rocks were a faint purple.
Ellie took phased out of her shoes socks and tights and dove in. She used her plasma as a light which was now yellow.
Ellie gasped as she sawflorescent fish of all shapes in sizes. Saltwater fish to fresh water they were allcoexisting. She grabbed a rock at thebottom of the river and walked out.
Ellie felt a weight on a leg and there was a sea snake curled onto her leg so she gentlypulled it off. It seemed to likeher as it wasnuzzlingherhand and stuck it's tongue out to smell.
"Looks like you have a pet" Dancommented as he looked at the bright bluesnake thatpossessed white stripes and blue eyes and the everprominent greentongue.
Dan eyed the snakegenuinelyinterested in the creature as heplayed no mind to them in the past. 'I wonder what their capable of?' Danpondered. "So what are you going to name it?" He asked.
"Hmm.. Slinky!" Ellie exclaimed as she had the snake lounging on her neck. At that they reached her lair in record time.
Ellie yawned and stretched "I'm going to take a nap." Dan nodded and took care of Slinky in themeantime.
Ellie fellasleep in minutes. In her dream she saw she saw three souls one red and orange burning like a flame she got the sensewhoever's soul it belonged to was aprotector of sorts.
The flame right next to it was a deep jade soul that wasfractured inthe middle. Just bylooking at it she knew theywere a bringer ofmischievous fun.
The last soulfurtheroff from the other two was red in the center an had bluesurrounding it. Ellie could tell they were veryintelligent but also had anenergetic nature about them.
Ellie was blinding by light as she saw her soul a bright yellow withelectricity comingoff it went to the two close together andbrought the far off one right next to them. She got the sense that they were all meant to be great friends.
Danmeanwhile wassleeping on thecouch with Slinky resting on his chest. He had the senseofconflictstocomesomehowpertaining to him.
Hefelt the darkness pull him in andinstead of feelingfamiliar itfelt as if itwasdrainingthe life out of him. Just before he was consumed by it. A bright yellow light filled the room.
Dan woke up andwondered whatexactly that wassupposed torepresent. He tried to come up with something by was met withfailure.
He placed Slinky in a box with holes in it so itwouldn't wanderaimlessly in the house and put his feet down inthenearestuninhabited islandtaking in the silence while lying downlooking at the green sky litteredwith purple doors.
