When Earth and Hell mix, You meet me (Ghost)

regular, speech, thoughts, other(s)

Obvious happiness permeated Celia’s voice as she replied to ghost’s generous offer,

“Hercules Bluffs...Sunset? Sounds gorgeous.”

Her smile was dazzling but Ghost remained rigid, letting no emotion show upon his façade as he gazed over his shoulder and waited for her to catch up. An audible growl resounded from her belly and Ghost gazed with a cocked head at her as she spoke somewhat apologetically,

“Food would be nice too Ghost. Hehe.”

//Well now that was subtle.// Ghost thought sarcastically and smiled warmly at Celia who had finally caught up and was chuckling merrily,

“No problem, we’ll catch something as soon as we are outside of the den grounds. I know of a good rabbit burrow on the way.”

She gazed straight into his eyes and Ghost was the first to avert his gaze. His shoulders rolled into motion and soon they were off, walking towards Hercules Bluffs. Ghost gazed at her with a sideways glance, hoping she didn’t notice him. She looked a little unkempt but none of it fazed him. A few minutes passed in silence, luckily not the awkward type when suddenly Ghost fell to his belly and smiled up at Celia. He was in an obvious stalking position and his eyes signaled for Celia to stay where she was. He crept through some underbrush which faded into a clearing but he remained hidden and stopped within the last bit of brush as he surveyed his prey, which in this case was a gangly young rabbit that sat tall upon its borrow. The wind direction was in his favor and the rabbit seemed preoccupied with his sunbath, so much so that he never saw it coming. With a powerful lunge and three powerful surges Ghost was upon him and expertly sunk his canines into the rabbit’s nape, effectively killing it immediately. Blood dripped from the neck wound as Ghost trotted back to Celia and laid the kill down before her, softly thanking the earth for its blessing and for the life he had taken. He gazed at Celia and spoke,

“Well eat up, sunset is nearing and you don’t want to miss it, believe me.”

A grateful smile greeted Ghost as he returned to Celia and set the rabbit down. Jade eyes were like mirrors though and not a sliver of emotion escaped those eyes. His face even seemed somewhat stern but in truth it was only neutral. Celia ate quickly while Ghost remained standing, keeping a lookout around them as his ears flinched constantly, listening to every sound the woods had to offer. Ghost wasn’t exceptionally trusting and even now he kept a fine eye on Celia, always on guard. She stood and his gaze followed her instantly as she set off. He trot to catch up and walked silently beside her. She kept her gaze averted from him though and for once intense confusion filled his mind, jumbling all his thoughts and setting his impatience on fire.

A sigh followed from her lips and she moved even faster. Ghost on the other hand stopped dead in his tracks and gazed absently at the ground. Ears were flattened in confusion instead of anger and he pricked them up as he lifted his gaze to Celia who had stopped and was looking curiously at him. With a gruff and awkward voice ghost spoke, finally coming to his senses,

“Celia you have to leave…”

He was anticipating her to argue with him and spoke once more,

“Please, just GO…”

There was a slight betrayal of hurt in his voice and he avoided her eyes.
