Snippet #2500097

Blanche left the men, noticing her sister in the other room. Annie looked upset, but she knew her sister well enough to know that if she did mention it, it wouldn't go well. "So, how'd it go?" Annie asked softly.

"Well enough. I gave him a chill," Blanche responded. The taller man's reaction had more or less baffled her. Usually when she did that they were more than a little freaked out, but make that was because she had made no previous attempt at frightening him. Next time she would be sure to do that.

"Sorry I left. I couldn't handle that man talking about us in such a way." Blanche shrugged at her sister.

"Yes, it was quite inconsiderate." Blanche was never one to speak out much in times like these. Being a ghost had certainly calmed her down quite a bit from when she was living. Instead of getting overly excited as she used to, she rather felt nothing at all.

"I'm afraid that I just get the feeling that they're not going to be as easy to get rid of as the previous families. If that turns out to be true, we're not only going to have to try to get them to leave but we're also going to have to protect them until then. We cannot allow the Darkness to get them. If they die here, they will be trapped as well. I don't know why they keep selling the farm. You'd think that they'd take the hint that none can live here." Blanche nodded in agreement, but she couldn't help the fear that set in when the Darkness was mentioned.

"Annie...do you think he's still coming for us? I mean, do we even know what he wants? And what if he strikes tonight? Usually we have our guards up at night instead of scaring away some unbeknownst boys..." Blanche shivered, even though she could no longer feel cold.

She looked down into the TV room where the two men were resting and watching some show. "But I definitely think you're right. These men seem...different. Less susceptible to trickery and fright. It'll certainly give us a run for our money to get rid of them, if the Darkness doesn't get them--or us--first." Blanche sighed and sat, hovering in the air as she liked to do. She hoped this would all be over quickly so Annie and her could continue fending for themselves instead of worrying about the human boys.
