Snippet #2012626

"Awesome!" Circus shouted happily. "The spirits in this room like you! Except, well, most of them just left, but oh well!" Flailing his feather-covered hands around as he felt himself beginning to slip, he neatly landed on the ground in a cat-like stance, continuing to grin. Tugging at a chain connected to his sleeve, he looked to Mikhail. "Well, then! Fun, fun, fun, yes? Aha!"

Feeling a soft, quiet voice call out his name, he spun around on his heel and saw the spirit of a younger girl, at most around the age 8. He crouched down to get in eye contact with her and he softly smiled. "Hello there, Theresa. How long have you been following me?" The spirit stayed silent, nervously picking at her sleeves. She was a young girl with curly, blonde hair, glasses, and decked in pink, a very feminine girl at that. "I-I didn't want to stay alone at the h-house, so I-I followed you h-here. I'm so sorry i-if I wasn't supposed to. I-It's just Teddy and I get s-scared a lot."

Looking down at the bear she clutched, his eyes darted to Mikhail. "Theresa is a spirit. My family got an old mansion, you see, the thing was a family used to live there a long time back. The Wesson family, and according to Theresa, she didn't really have a good family. She was killed there, and then her family left. She says she didn't bother following them because she only knew she would get ignored, because they wouldn't see her, feel her, and she didn't want to scare them either, because she is considered a poltergeist. After years, my family moved in, and fortunately I was able to see her, so she's been attached to me ever since." Circus let out a quiet chuckle and suddenly his expression changed to concern.

"Hopefully you won't mind my freaky ability to see paranormal. In honesty, it is kind of interesting, to see the spirits of others who have been deceased. There's always that handful though that are considered the 'bad ones'." Circus cocked his head then looked to the young girl again as she hid behind him, slightly scared of the other male, apparently called "Mikhail".

Circus turned his body a bit and smiled. "You don't have to hide. Mikhail's not going to hurt you, he's a good guy. Besides, no one can really hurt you, you're invisible to them. Also, Theresa, you can only stay with me for a little while. You should go talk to the others around here, I'm sure that nice motherly widow would love to see you." The girl nodded once, gripping the end of his coat in silent anxiety.

Looking to Mikhail again, his grin appeared back onto his face. "That's a pretty cool power you got there, aha!"
