A/N: Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. So for the New Year I made a small resolution to update more frequently... so far not doing so hot. So I am hoping to put up two chapters this week and continue to do one once a week. Anywho, I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Abigail tried not to think of the mysterious ghost anymore instead she focused on what to do next. She could go back home and speak with her family or search for the other halfas. She debated with herself on her choices when she figured out what to do. She looked around the Ghost Zone before picking the correct direction. She flew past several purple doors and floating islands while she looked for the specific door. She found it after an hour.
Unlike the other doors of the Ghost Zone this one led out to the Human world. It was an unknown portal created by a family friend. The girl noted that it was slightly ajar which was unusual. Abigail slipped through the small crack and into the abandoned room. She didn't bother to find the owner of the home, but turned intangible and invisible to escape the home.
In the air she looked for her large estate. She flew quickly remaining invisible into the familiar house. She floated through the halls trying to focus on the task she had set out for herself. She was going to grab a precious family heirloom and she wasn't planning to get caught.
She floated down to her father's study to search its normal location. Behind the mahogany desk hanging on the wall was a large sword. It was once said to be used by her ancestors to destroy evil and the former halfa decided that the weapon could give her an edge. She floated to the weapon taking it in her hands and the blade turned invisible as well.
"Abby?" a familiar male voice asked. "Are you here?" Abigail turned to see her younger brother. The resemblance was undeniable his dark hair matching her human hair color. "I know your secret."
Her brother's confession caused the girl to drop her invisibility. The male smiled at his sister and the girl return the gesture trying not to cry. "Hey, I missed you Abby. I know you are off being a hero, but..." the boy trailed off. "What's wrong? Did someone hurt you? I'll show him a thing or two," the boy said angrily.
Abigail chuckled, "You can't. He is a lot stronger than the ghost we have seen before." She took a deep breath as she lowered herself to the ground in front of her brother. "George, I'm not human any more," she said lowering her head. A pair of warm arms wrapped themselves around her shaking shoulders.
"You're still my sister. Not matter what you are or where you go," George said holding onto the girl. He let go to look at her face. "Go show whatever evil spirit who's boss. You can come back and explain everything to Mom and Dad after."
Abigail nodded giving her brother one more hug before leaving. She made her way to Wisconsin to look for the others.

Leon was grateful that Wulf let Thalen and him leave. Although the beast like ghost seemed unsure, he stated that he was once friends with the ex-hero and he trusted that the halfas would try to return him to that state again. Leon didn't say that Thalen no longer wished to save the former hero. Leon looked at his companion who flew beside him in the blue sky. He had heard the halfa's tragic past and a small part of him sympathized.
"Where is he?" Thalen asked looking through the sky his anger clearly increasing the temperature around him.
"I suggest we land and take a break. We are going to get no where if we don't rest," Leon state not answering his question. Thalen huffed but followed Leon to the ground where the two turned back to their human form. Leon sat on a park bench leaning back so his face was pointing at the sky. He tried to ignore the other halfa's angry pacing. Leon opened a bored eye watching as the other halfa mumbled to himself looking to the sky occasionally.
"Do you think we should get the others? You know, strength in numbers and all that," Thalen stated as he looked at the other halfa.
Leon sighed, "Sure, where are they?" He straightened his posture crossing his arms across his chest at the same time.
"We had a small hideout we can check out," Thalen replied.
"Would they even remain there?" Leon asked coldly, "If they think that all three of you died, they might have moved to a more secure location."
Thalen frowned," But that's the best lead I have. So I'm going to look there and you are coming with me."
"Why is that?"
"Because under this whole attitude is someone who actually cares what happens to people. For example, Pandora. How long is it going to be before Dan finds her?" Thalen countered looking smug.
"Don't you even suggest that," Leon growled, "But you have a point. I'll go just to prove that the other halfas abandoned you."
"And you'll see that they didn't."

Sylvia remained quiet as Robin started the van. She didn't understand why they took the fancy car and at first thought it was just Gwen's idea to take the vehicle; but now she knew how great it was. "Where are you planning to go?" Alex asked from the passenger seat.
"We decided that we are going to drive around the country and hope that we run into Dan," Gwen said sarcastically.
Alex didn't look amused and didn't bother to respond to the girl. "We are heading back to Wisconsin. Dan already was interested in that area. Perhaps we can draw him back if we make ourselves known to the populace."
"We're going to be bait?" Sylvia asked nervously although her mind was racing with the negative outcomes.
"Yeah, like chumming the water. Dan will want to show his ugly mug," Gwen clarified, "But we can take him out. There's four of us and one of him."
"But we only have one Thermos," Sylvia stated, "what if we do split Phantom and Plasmius? We can't store them in the same thermos."
"Maybe Vlad has some other ghost storage device at the old headquarters," Alex said, "We should check there first. Maybe we can make our stand there and have the anti-ghost security help us."
Robin nodded his head. "That sounds like a plan."
