-Laff POV-

As we were talking, I felt a weird breeze coming from the left of me. There were no windows that were open, and even if they were, it wasn't a windy day. I looked to my left to see where it might be coming from, and that's when I saw Blaza. It looked like he had just seen a ghost. He was pale and a shocked expression was spread across his face, you could tell even if he had his sunglasses on.

Why does he have his sunglasses on? We're inside.

A couple seconds later, tears started rolling down his face. He then muttered something along the lines of, 'I am too'. Oompa and Nadwe also noticed this, and we all were starting to get concerned for him. Nadwe then came up to him, and snapped in his face a couple of times, as he seemed to be in a trance.

"Hello? Earth to Blaza? Are you okay?!"

A couple more snaps snapped him out of it.

"Wha- what? What's wrong Nadwe?"

"That's what I've been asking you.."

"What do you mean? Like, am I okay?"

"Yea.."

"Oh, I'm fine! Why are you asking?"

"Rub your face.."

"Uh.. okay?"

Blaza then did what he was told and was surprised to see water come off his face.

"What the.. was I.. crying?"

I got a chance to answer before Nadwe.

"Yes, you were. Did you not realize you were crying?"

"Well, no! I wasn't crying! I guess.. water got on my sunglasses earlier.. and it must've just dripped off now!"

"Blaza, don't act oblivious. We know you were upset about something, we just want to know why. It's okay to be sad sometimes."

I'm such a hypocrite.

I know this, yet I still don't want others knowing I'm upset sometimes. Heck, earlier I put the dark filter on my mask so no one would see me tearing up.

"Well.. now that you've said that.. I think I do know why I was.. crying. But, I'm being 1000% honest here. I really had no idea that I was crying."

A couple seconds later, he then continued.

"But why I was crying is because..I'm pretty sure I heard Meme and Muffin's ghosts."

Everyone was amazed at this point, including me! Woolf then walked over.

"So.. since the cat is out of the bag about the ghosts.. I might as well tell you my experience last nig-"

As he was about to finish his sentence, a cold wind came into the room. Gulvic then ran over to the group once again and kept looking almost everywhere he could. It was like he was watching a fly. His gaze then went to the center of the group, and then shouted,

"Hi ghostsssss!"

He seemed to be super hyper. More than he was earlier, as he couldn't even stand still. It was like he just downed a gallon bottle of soda.

"Come on! Do it! PLEEEEEEEEEAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEEE?!?"

None of us knew who he was talking to, or what he was talking about. He then made a frustrated face and grumbled,

"I just want them to see you..

His face then transformed into a face of excitement and eagerness, followed by squeals and screeches. As he was right next to us, it hurt all of our ears. And not to mention the fact when he does screech, it can get very, very high in pitch. I don't even know how he does it.

-Meme POV-

I don't even know why me and Muffin are doing this. I guess it's just so he shuts up and doesn't kill anybody's ears again. I float over to Muffin,

"How do we even make ourselves visible? The only time I did it was with a mirror."

"I have no idea.."

I glanced over at Woolf who had a slight fake smile spread across his face after the screech.

Thank goodness I don't have ears anymore.. and if I do, at least I can't feel pain.

"Ok.. uh.. I think I need a piece of paper.."

I said this to no one in particular. Gulvic must've overheard and said to us,

"I can get some for you if you want some!!"

He seemed like he wanted to get some, so I responded with,

"Fine, you can. But don't mess with anyone's stuff.. okay? Actually, ask someone to go with you, and say because Meme said so. Wait, no. If they knew it was me who said so they would be confused and probably want to know more and stay here anyway. Just, say the ghost told them to."

He surprisingly did exactly that! He asked Nadwe to go with him to get paper because the ghost told him to. Nadwe wasn't confused at all to my surprise. In fact, he was staring right at me, which I thought was a bit weird. After a couple seconds of Gulvic pestering Nadwe, they headed towards the door. But, before Nadwe left the room, he turned around, looked me and Muffin dead in the eyes, and waved to us. I had no idea how to respond, as I didn't expect that. Before I could think of something to do though, my reflexes and 'muscle' memory just did what any normal person would do and waved back.

I started to think about how Nadwe seeing us was possible, until I remembered the day before I.. died. The day we named Gulvic. Nadwe transformed from a bat to a person, he was a vampire.

So that's why he can see us..

-Nadwe POV-

I was apparently elected by Meme to go with Gulvic and get some paper. Which, I have to say, was one of the most nerve wracking things I've ever done. One of the most simple tasks could turn into one of the most deadly reaaaalll quick.

As we were walking down the hall, I noticed streaks of black along the walls. I was thinking of what it could be until Gulvic started losing his balance.. again. It was almost as if he was drunk. I wanted to test his reflexes..

-Gulvic POV-

I was walking down the hall with the same guy that asked the questions earlier. He seemed a bit timid about coming with me, but I didn't think anything of it.

Out of nowhere, I then felt something grab my top left tentacle. I stopped walking and moved my tentacle out of the grip a couple seconds later.

-Nadwe POV-

Well, his reflexes are as bad as his balance. A blessing and a curse.

We then arrived at a room that I knew for sure had something to write on in it. Woolf's room. I entered slowly to look around the room, but Gulvic on the other hand just barged right in and slammed himself into Woolf's bed. I gave him a stern, 'STOP IT!' look, and he noticed. But he still didn't care. I sighed and started to look for where his paper was. As I was looking, I then saw a piece of paper at the end of Woolf's bed. I picked it up, and read it.

Did you hear everything Gulvic said? -Meme

My mind was blown. Woolf witnessed the murder? WHY HADN'T HE TOLD US?! I also now understood why Meme needed the paper. It was a gift to be able to see the ghosts, and know they aren't really dead. Sure, yeah, they're physically dead, but spiritually they aren't.

I grabbed a pen off the ground to bring along with the paper. Meme must've used this last night. It felt cooler than it should be, and it felt a bit sticky. As I was thinking and looking for more paper, Gulvic then started laughing. It was delirious laughter, just like when the gang first found out about this whole thing.

"Gulvic, I have a question."

He seemed to calm down a bit to reply.

"What?"

"Why do you laugh like that? It just seems a bit random at times."

"Oh, like what I was just doing?"

"Yeah, exactly."

"Well, you know how some people say laughing relieves stress?"

"Uh.. no?"

"Well anyway, that's basically that."

"Oh, so.. sorta like a way to release stress?"

"Yeah! Basica- woah the world is upside down again."

Once again, he had his head hanging off the side of the bed with the rest of his body on it. He then rolled over so he wasn't on his back.

"Wait.. whattttttt???"

As he said this, his pupils got much bigger, like earlier when he was super hyper. He seemed super amazed about the fact he can flip over and his vision would too. He repeated this a couple times. I couldn't help but smile over the fact that this is another version of Gulvic. He was like a child. I then started quietly laughing. After about thirty more seconds of watching Gulvic figure out basic physics, I thought we should start heading back.

-Woolf POV-

"Wait, so lemme get this straight, you saw the murder, and ran back to your room. About 10 minutes later you saw a floating pen and paper writing on eachother, and it said it was from Meme. You talked to 'Meme' and then he showed up in your mirror?!"

"Yep, that basically sums it up! But don't forget about everything I told you about Gulvic too!"

"He's an infection that spreads through literally anything. Touch, ingestion, and so on."

"He got to Socks with a chemical you don't remember the name of."

"And he wants to kill us all. Yep! That sounds great!"

"Wait a minute. We've all touched Gulvic though.. does that mean we are all infected?"

Everyone went quiet for about a minute.

"Well, no. There has to be more to that. Maybe if any cuts come in contact with that stuff on his tentacles and arms?"

"Probably. We would all be infected by now if it wasn't that. He's hugged literally all of us with his tentacles."

The sound of footsteps was finally coming back from down the hall after about eight minutes.

"We got the paper!"
_________________________________
-Meme POV-

Nadwe finally got back with the paper.

It's been like ten minutes! What were they doing?

I flew over to Nadwe and Gulvic.

"Nadwe! Give me the paper and pen!"

"Here!"

I took the paper and started writing on the back, as I had written as big as I could on the front the night before. Almost everyone was in awe at the sight of a flying piece of paper and a pen. Everyone apart from Gulvic, Nadwe, and Woolf.

As I was writing, Gulvic was being an annoying brat again, wanting to take the paper every ten seconds. I flew across the room with Muffin by my side the entire time, writing his own little note after I was done. I then gave the paper to one of the people I trusted most. Tbh.

"Hello everyone! It's nice to see you all again after the events from last night. I would love to see you all in person, which is why I am going to possess the person who is reading thi- WAIT WHAT?!"

Nadwe looked over at me as soon as Tbh read that. I wanted to laugh so hard, but I knew that that would ruin it. I then circled around Tbh a couple times just to make him feel like he was getting possessed. I flew back a couple feet and I swear, Tbh's face was golden. I then couldn't suppress it anymore and started laughing like a crazy person. Nadwe then saw that I was laughing like a maniac, and told Tbh that I was messing around. Of course I actually wasn't going to possess him. I just wanted to mess with him.

"I know whoever is reading this is probably scared out of their minds because I just said that. It's a joke. Remember those things? Anyway, I might know a way to become visible because of my experience becoming visible in a mirror. If A mirror is available, that would be awesome! -Meme"

A couple seconds passed until Tbh started reading again.

"Hi! This is Muffin here. This time the person reading this will actually get possess-"

Tbh glanced at Nadwe before Nadwe glanced at me and Muffin. Nadwe's unsure look turned into a bewildered one because Muffin was backing up ready to catapult himself into Tbh's body.

"Muffin, don't do it."

"But I want to. Anyways it won't hurt him or do anything."

"MUFFIN. MUFFIN N-"

-Muffin POV-

Nadwe's sentence was cut short by the sound of rippling and the feeling of consciousness taking over me. I opened my eyes, and I looked at my hands. They were crab claws. I looked at everyone else, and they were looking at me very weirdly. I looked back at Meme, who was ready to jump in with me. I attempted to talk to everyone again.

"So, how is everyone today?"

My voice sounded like a mix between mine and Tbh's. Actually no, my voice was being used at the same time as Tbh's making it sound really weird.

"Uh.. I honestly don't know how to answer that."

"I've been great!!"

"MEME, WE DON'T NEED THREE PEOPLE IN THE SAME BODY."

"BUT THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO GET HIM OUT! I'M GOING IN."

Everyone was either looking at me or Nadwe, but were now also concerned for Tbh. Then I felt a weird sensation in the back of my head. Then everything went black.

-Nadwe POV-

We've just been watching these shenanigans go on for about 5 minutes. Meme yelling at Muffin and trying to yank him out of Tbh's body, and Muffin just going right back in. Meme and I finally got Muffin to stay out of Tbh's body. But he was just about to go back in when Gulvic latched onto him with his tentacles.

HOW IS THAT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE?!

"What the.. what just happened?"

"They said no. No going back in Tdh's body."

Wow. He seriously has to learn our names, or else this'll get annoying really fast.

When Tbh was finally out of the ghost's grip, he was out of breath, cold, and shaking. He finally calmed down after what seemed to be forever, and stayed away from where he thought the ghosts were for a while.
