Journal Entry—Nine Months, Six Days A.J.

Well, I finally met up with Belladonna again, but only after a couple of days of her hounding me with texts and phone calls. Honestly, I was happy hanging around with Jesse at home, catching her up on everything that had happened since… well, since I’d lost her. Mom knocked on my door a few times, saying she was worried about how much I was talking to myself. I figured it was best to keep her in the dark; she wasn’t clued in, and her mind sort of blocked out anything weird by default.

A lot of mundanes were like that; their minds just chose to ignore any glimpse they might see of the supernatural world, the world beneath our own. It’s what made it possible for even the weakest fae to conceal their true nature; all that most human minds needed was the slightest little push to keep them believing fairy tales weren’t real, and myths were only that.

The next day I met her for coffee at the same place as before, and she pulled out one of those old texts she’d borrowed, flipping it open to a passage that she’d marked with a sticky note. I snapped a picture of it and copied it by hand here:

“The typical haunting is usually nothing more than an echo of energy, a remnant of the deceased’s thoughts, memories, and emotions, or in extreme instances the combined thoughts, memories, and emotions of a group of deceased individuals. These phenomena are harmless, akin to seeing the reflection of a moving car in a window. The reflection itself may appear real, but it has no inertial influence on the physical world.

“On the other hand, ghasts, ghosts, and spirits are sentient, fully cognizant supernatural creatures that for some reason or another are trapped on this plane of existence and unable to move on to the next. Often, this is due to a traumatic event that has psychologically damaged the spirit’s “mind,” if one could truly say a ghost has a mind in the traditional sense. Unfortunately, this results in the ghost or
