Ghost Tales

Chade’s main focus had been on the ghost wolf so he had missed the looks of guilt then surprise on his brother’s face.  The desire to see her again and her response seemed odd things to the boy.  The talk had been interesting but what did they need with a ghost?   Still, Chade hoped she did see their dad.  It was a nice thing to imagine.

As she had said she didn’t belong here and Chade had no desire to focus on one who was dead.  Ry wanted to do as she said?  He made sure the ghost appeared to be gone before speaking to his lighter-colored brother.  “Soooo, what are you agreeing we are gonna do?”  Ry had made it something he would do but if Ricin was determined to do these nutty rituals then Chade would do them also.  Admittedly, there was a piece of him that was curious for all that most of him doubted  “Why do you trust someone who’s been dead?  Sure, I don’t think she could hurt us, but why are you sure she wasn’t just making all that stuff up?”

Chade believed in the physical.  It didn’t mean he trusted everything but he acknowledged the reality of it.  Clearly, he had to believe ghosts existed now but that didn’t mean he trusted their words and he trusted them less than a living wolf's words.  Who knew what ghosts were interested in?  Not that there was any harm in the two doing something strange like trying to talk to a moon but what would be the point other than looking silly?  Again, that didn’t stop a small hidden part of him from wanting to see if he was wrong.
