Misty felt drowsy as she woke up. She moaned softly. Shifting her head, Misty looked at her cok. 2:48. Misty look up and was about to drift back to sleep, when a voice said, "Glad to see that your up. Sleep well?"

Misty bolted up in her bed, under the covers. Max was setted at the end of the bed. He was twisting Misty's compass between his fingers. He smiled at her and asked her "Sleep well?" again. Instead of answering that ask, she said. "Give me my compass." Max smiled at her demand. He stood up and said."you can't trust them,Misty. All they do is lie. There bilt of that. It's why they have glowing lips. Every time they lie, the lips with get fuller, as the lies become truth. That's why they're called Lip Glossed ghost. There are lots of ghost out there, but the ones in this area are the worst. " the whole time Max was talking, he was looking out the window, playing with the compass. He turned back to Misty. There was silence for a moment, then Misty pointed to the door. Firmly,she said "Get out." Max laugh. He thinks its a joke. Misty thought angrily. i'll show him. Misty stood, thinking that she would be ok. But it wasn't. As soon as she did, she felt weak.before she crashed to the ground, Max swooped down and coute her. Max gave a wide grin and said "You need to rest. Let me tell you a story." Misty had no choice but to let Max pick her up and set her back into the bed. He then sat at Misty's feet. "Listen well." Misty watched Max. Max smiled, he did that alot.

Max's story.

Long long ago, about 1,000 years ago, the first of ghost came. It was a magnificent purple, one that would blind you. Her name was Gretel. Gretel was kind, loving, but had a secret. On that every human,creature and plant needed to know. But Gretel refused to tell not one poor soul. She was a good ghost, but she said she had a dark past. Other thought that she always looked like she was keeping something, so after they search her wooden hut, they found a leather book. The book had a crying eye on the cover. The book contains the secret. That there was another ghost. One that feed of the blood of a certain human family. This family was the Crown family. This ghost was called Siren. Siren was a hungry, evil, and heartless ghost, and the Crowns had a special blood that Siren was desperate to feast on. Siren had one enemy. Gretel. Getel hid the fact that the Crowns were being hunted because Getel was in love with one Crown.Her name was Cassie. Cassie and Gretel were the best of friends. Gretel was scared that if she told the Crowns that they were being hunted, Gretel would never see Cassie agen. Once the people found this out, they told the Crowns. But it was to late. Siren was on the move, and she was hungry. She arrived at the village, she began to eat the blood of the Crowns. All but one. Gretel had seen Siren coming, so she found Cassie and took her far out of the village. The girl and ghost played in their favorite meadow for hours upon hours. Then Siren found them. Siren show no mercy. She was so full from the other Crowns that she left two drops of blood in Cassie. After Siren left, Cassie had on dying wish. That her bloodline would continue. Cassie the gave Gretel her last drops of blood. Then Cassie passed away. Gretel went back to the village, late at night. After she gathered her things, she went to the villages orphanage. She crouched over one of the boys and bestod the blood drop. Then she went to the mines. Once inside, Gretel took some silver and some amethyst. Then she went out to the sheep pen and got some wool. She dyed some purple and some gray. Then she form a necklace. Then, using a compass, she placed the compass into the bowl shaped she made. After she finished the lid, Gretel used the second blood drop to form the arrow. But she made the compass so it had two settings. One was that it pointed north. The other pointed to Cassie's grave. The only way the blood would point to the grave, is if a Crown girl told it to. For years, Siren looked for this compass, so that she could get the blood. But something happened. Gretel changed how things were done. She said that in 1000 years, one Crown girl would receive the compass and rid of Siren forever.

The end

Max was obviously proud of this. That he found Gretel's compass and the Crown girl that owned it. Mist on the other hand was not. That story was good. But what Max wanted her to understand was beyond her. So she asked the simply thing. "What do you want from me?" Max looked confused, and a little sad. "Misty, I don't want something from you. I want you to do it this on your own terms." "well what do i need to do?" Max's smile returned. "It's simply. Find Cassie's grave. It will tell us where to find Siren. Using that information, we will go and rid of Siren once and for all!" Misty looked at Max carefully. "We? Us? What do you mean?" "I want to go with you. We must go at a certain time." "When is that?" Max smiled, Misty was getting sick of his smiles. "I will tell you the next time we met." With that, Max got of the bed and left the room. Once he left her sight line, Misty shot to the door and slammed it closed.

And to think the he was cute.
