"This may be too personal, but did you ever see her?" Hailey asked.

[~echo~]

Amelia hesitated. "I saw her Actuallu before I knew she was dead."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Hailey blinked, "Oh..sorry. I shouldn't have asked."

[~echo~]

"No, that's fine."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Well, I don't want you to get sad or anything," He murmured.

[~echo~]

Amelia shook her head and looked at him. "It's fine."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Hailey didn't reply, but just nodded.

[~echo~]

"I've also seen a dead pet," she said.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"A pet? Did you try to help?" Hailey sounded interested, "Can you even help a pet?"

[~echo~]

Amelia chuckled. "Yes. The poor old cat was just hungry so I put food in its bowl and it drifted straight up after a second."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Aww," Hailey smiled, "Well, that's good."

[~echo~]

Amelia grinned at the memory as they reached te library. Before entering, she looked at Hailey while others weren't looking. "Do you remember the month in which you started having these symptoms?"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Umm.." Hailey scratched the back of his neck, "Maybe two months ago?"

[~echo~]

She nodded and walked into the newspaper section. She found a librarian and cleared her throat. "Excuse me- could you show me the obituaries from about two months ago?"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

He winced and glanced around. It was weird, knowing people couldn't even see him.

[~echo~]

The severe looking woman put her newspaper down rather roughly and led them towards the older newspapers.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"She's scary," Hailey whispered.

[~echo~]

Amelia fought back a grin as they sat down with several months worth of obituaries.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Hailey perched beside her, looking around.

[~echo~]

"What's your last name?" she asked, taking out a pen and a rumpled sheet of notebook paper.
