"Me? I grew up in this town, rarely left, and died in this town. I've been here ever since." And, he thought, I don't think I can ever leave, even if I wanted to.
"You've got a brother? I never had any siblings. What's it like?"
He chuckled a little.

Laoise pondered this question for a moment before replying.
"Its alright I suppose. Has its ups,has its downs like all things. My brother is kind of a dope. He's a DJ at some club or something,so he doesn't notice that I'm gone all night."
She chuckled at the thought. Sneaking out before he left was incredibly easy.

Shade was quiet for a few moments, then, "So how'd you do it?" What happened down at the meth labs?"
He looked at her, serious look on his face.

Laoise rubbed her chin,trying to gather together what exactly had happened. The night from before was hazy and all that came to mind was the color red.
"Either I knocked the door down all cool like,or jumped through the window like a ninja. Can't recall. Maybe I did both. There were a few labs you know."
She furrowed her brow in thought as she went on.
"And than I killed them."
She smiled sweetly at the last sentence. The memory was a pleasant one to the twisted kid. There was nothing she enjoyed more than ripping druggies to pieces.

Shade frowned and readjusted his hat.
"Did you at least end their' lives quickly?"

"Maybe."
Laoise chuckled darkly and ran a hand through her hair. For a split second it was Jack who sat in her place,before he flickered and turned back into the young host. A trick of the light? Perhaps.
"I think they died completely during the second time around. At least I think so."

Shade sighed. He got up, stretching.
When he was alive, he thought, he didn't know anybody like Laoise, talking so easily about killing people. Not even the "badasses" were this off. I guess this is what a poltergeist does to you, he thought.
"I'm gonna check on the neighborhood one last time," he said to Laoise. He chuckled a little, joking "Don't kill anyone."

Laoise looked up and stared at him.
"Don't worry. I have filled my quota for the week."
She explained seriously. The killer stretched and stood up. If Shade was leaving,she had better head out too. After all...it wasn't morning yet. Spirits still floated down the streets,and she was sure that monsters were still roaming them as well.
"See you tomorrow I suppose."
She waved quickly as she began trekking away,the dingy red backpack slung over her shoulders once more. The girl made a beeline for the parks as soon as she could,venturing into the dark and cold forest. She had heard howling around here the night she had killed the meth heads. The spirits who roamed the area had noted that a strange large wolf had been spotted bounding around on its hind legs. Jack had insisted that she check it out.

Shade returned from his patrol in a half hour. He had only encountered one other person, and that was a bag lady.
He came back to the garden's gazebo, where Laosie had met him earlier. Last he had seen her, she was headed East. He sat back down on the bench, tired.

The leaves and twigs snapped beneath her feet as Laoise unsuccessfully tried too quietly make her way through the forest. Ah well,she thought. The wolf -if there was one- would sniff her out before she found him anyways. Though it bothered her that she made more noise than an elephant on LSD. The sound of flesh ripping off to the side attracted her attention. Creeping closer she dimly noticed a large animal tearing its prey to pieces. A wolf! She dumped the bricks from her bag as she stood up and walked towards the animal. The wolf stopped munching on the poor man it had grabbed and growled at the girl as it backed away and rose onto its hind legs.
"Stop with the show tough guy."
The wolf's fur was a brownish-gray,and reminded Laoise of the trees that surrounded her home; birches,she thought. Like the trees the wolf was just another obstacle - another object to be conquered. The tree-colored wolf crept forward,its hackles raised as it moved in to attack. The creature suddenly lunged at her,teeth bared and still bloody from its last kill. The bricks and knives that had laid stationary around the girl suddenly rose off of the ground and flung themselves at the animal,knocking it out of the air. The knives barely buried themselves into the animal's hide but the bricks had hit it square in the gut.
The tree-colored-fur receded back into the wolf's flesh as the surprise attack had really spooked him. After a few pained whimpers and groans the wolf receded completely,leaving a very pained and annoyed boy in its place. Laoise snickered at the sight.
"See? I'm the alpha B*tch."

Shade woke up suddenly. He hadn't realized that he had fallen asleep. He sat up, looking around. What was it that had woken him?
He stopped and listened. A ways off, he could hear a crash and a dog's whine. He smiled a little. So Laosie had found something to do. He had better check on her before someone got hurt. He started after her, asking other ghosts along the way where she went.
After 5 minutes, he arrived at the parks. He walked silently through the fallen leaves and frost, gliding like a shadow.
When he eventually did find Laoise, she was scolding what looked to be a half naked boy. So, he thought, amusing himself, puberty finally caught up with her. He snickered at that.

The boy/wolf/whatever he was stood up and growled at her threateningly as he backed away presumably to make a get away,or at least she guessed so.
"You've been hunting in my territory sir."
She cracked her neck and laughed maniacally as she took a step torwards the wolf,a psychotic twisted smile on her face. The bricks and knives that had knocked him down earlier lied scattered around him. Laoise's hand glowed a light purple as she beckoned the weapons up. They floated around the boy menacingly,ready to knock him over - or even kill him.

Uh-oh.
Laoise had that meniacal smile on her face. It looked just like Patchwork Jack's smile. He shivered.
Letting her continue would be bad for the kid. Very, very bad. But there was something odd about the kid. His soul was putting off a lot of warmth, enough for him to sense it through Jack's storm of cold.
Shade relaxed. If the kid was throwing off this much heat, then he could very well survive this. He sat back and watched.

The wolfboy coyed away,suddenly realizing the threat that was stepping towards him. He stopped dead in his tracks and stared at her,a scowl plastered on his unhappy face.
"Who are you supposed to be kid?! Buzz off!" He snarled angrily as he backed into a tree. The knives suddenly spun around,the blood crusted blades aimed directly at him.
Laoise chuckled and stopped about a foot away from him. She could see now that he wasn't really a boy,more like a young man. His tattered shirt barely covered his his chest and it seemed to be covered in scars; probably from fights within whatever "pack" he was in. She dimly recalled that werewolves were prone to fighting each other for some odd reason.
"Shut up and die already."
With a wave of her finger,the knives suddenly threw themselves at him and buried themselves into the flesh of his thigh,left arm,and a portion of his chest. He grunted barely from pain as Laoise laughed happily.
