A few... love exchanging hours later,

Delion managed to convince the lady

to go after Selia again. This time they

at least have sort of a plan, that is for

Jimmy the bobcat to defend them. But

mostly, Delion is curious regarding

how this will play out. Bobcats can

obviously hurt ghosts, but not souls

for some reason, or at least William's

soul. Question is, can a bobcat hurt a

seemingly more powerful ghost like

Selia? Or is she really a ghost? If this lady

is pursuing a handful of humans then

she must have lived before, meaning

she is a soul. Yes a soul far different

from William, her colour is far more

life filled while the old man's was dark

and enhanced peeing out dark liquids

That's what resting is for, they're out in

the open here, walking around in the

village in the midst of night, waiting for

Selia to grant a visit. But yet no ghost's

showing its ugly head, no soul, nothing

paranormal to the slightest. The break

of dawn is less than an hour away and

Selia isn't making a show. Since recent

paranormal activities happened in the

graveyard, with tad hesitation. Delion

pitches. "My love. I think we should go

to the graveyard and check for anything

unusual" Most definitely liking how

Dellon is softening up and using sweet

language too, but hating the idea and

cussing at the thought as well, she gives

out a loud whisper. "No, that's a bad

idea." Teasing the lady to lift up the

mood, he asks with a tone rising high

for the first time in a long while. "You

aren't scared, are you?" Fairly sarcastic

with a prime aim to fight away the tease,

she chirps. "Oh no... why would I be

scared of a graveyard where William

came to greet us." "With Jimmy around,

only Selia can harm us and I don't

really mind running ***** again. It's

not like I have anymore dignity after

Selia hit me. Painfully funny in some

aspects but it makes it tad concerning

when taking it as a fact that this man

ain't trying to be funny. Having it hard

not to giggle and fairly convinced, she

adds. "If we get jumped then I'm going

to beat you up." Reminding a phrase,

he adds "Again, I have no more dignity

so do it." Arriving at the graveyard, it

mayhaps would have been a good idea to

not come here at all. But yet again if they

didn't walk here, a new mystery would

have never been solved regardless of

bright minds and technology. The dirt

where Jingo's grave is supposed to be.

is fairly elevating a few feet tall bur

descending upon every second, like

a cycle and as if 1.000 people went

under the man's grave and tried to

push the dirt up with their breath, but

accidentally formed a triangle: "What

the Ambers got the honours to shout

and spooked whatever procedure the

dirt has going on here Fearless through

and through, Jimmy charges forward,

hisses and swipes his paws against the

dirt, in complete disregard of any risk

factors. Swiping against the dirt a few

times, that triangular form breaking

because of it, the two detectives hear

something mourn with a shout. "Ouch!"

"They are ghosts!" Delion pointed out,

basing it on the experience in the

house. "Don't let them get the body."

Delion shouts once more, realizing

that these paranormal jackasses are

after this specific corpse for some

reason. With ghost-o-phobia becoming

a thing in Amber's heart today, but

again understanding that this situation

demands action, she rushes towards

the grave and tackles the pack of dirt.

Fairly out running Delion, he reaches

the lady right after and witnesses her

getting dragged a split second later

across the graveyard, away from the

corpse. Deciding that Ambers is more

important than a dead possibly evil guy,

the detective rushes towards her, jumps

on the lady to get a grip and gets dragged

along with her for a few meters. Delion

isn't that heavy, fairly average so it only

means that the ghost(s) who grabbed

this lady have let go. A further fact,

they turn around and spot that Jingo's

corpse is dripping dirt while flying 8 feet

above the ground. The two detectives

thank the angels and above that Jingo

isn't coming back to life here, but this

situation isn't so favourable either. The

body is being dragged away towards the

sky and these two lovers can't nearly do

a thing to bring it down. Well they can't

bring it down but most definitely can

follow it! Standing up almost at the same

time, following Jimmy who's chasing

the ghosts although most definitely out

of reach, they all leave the graveyard

and head for mother nature..... The team

of three have ran about a kilometer

away from town now, trying to keep

up

with Jingo's body. Spotting it fly 30

feet above ground isn't exactly hard

considering that it's getting brighter

by the passing minute, the problem is

running this long. Even Delion being

a hunter of some sort, known to easily

walk over 20 kilometers a day, is having

it hard to catch up with the flying body

since it requires constant running. If

they just had to jog then it would be a

lot easier... Running for another three

kilometers here, Delion started noticing

a pattern that he doesn't quite like. They

have been brought back to that large

boulder, where old William supposedly

commited suicide. The body has led

the team to Jack's peek. Stopping for a

second to catch their breaths, especially

since the body has stopped flying

forward but straight upwards instead.

They spot the body slowly disappear the

higher they get. Not because of height

differences, more like invisibility! The

body is disappearing through thin air

and the team can't nearly do anything

about it but watch! Having a look of his

surroundings, Delion spots the sun rise

from the horizon and tries to put all

of this together, although cussing. "For

*s sake. Right after, the team of three

collapses. No weird magic or paranormal

stuff has been brought upon them, bur

they are absolutely exhausted by having

to sprint-run for 4 kilometers! Ambers

even hurls out whatever she ate after

the two lovers got at it with each other

While Delion crawls near her and pats

the lady's back, assuring that he's here.

"Let it out." About ten minutes later,

taking all their time to let their bodies

relax. Ambers remembers. "We got

jumped by ghosts so I'm going to beat

you up now." Serious enough, she even

stands up and waits for Delion to do

so as well. Brave enough to face a lady

taller than him, the detective corrects.

"Technically you jumped on the ghosts,

so should bear you up," "Oh right, do

it then." Ambers demands, hoping that

Dellon is thinking the same thing Taking

a look around, he spots one of those

bushes that get a faded colour in winter

and cites, "I will, but we need to go

behind that bush over there." Agreeing,

knowing where this is going. The poor

bobeat who followed them along

escapes the bush, gently walking away

for a few feet and can't help gagging.

And henceforth, intimate sounds started

echoing out of the bush.
