CHAPTER 14

Stretching and yawning loudly, Daisy sat beside one of the headless angels with a piece of paper and pencil in her hand. Charlotte had given her as much information as she could remember. Her old address, her mum and dad's names, basically anything she thought might help Daisy to get to the truth about why she hadn't crossed over.

'Have you ever been touched by that woman, Charlotte?' she asked all of a sudden.

'Huh?' Charlotte responded with a confused look on her face.

'You know... the woman with the short brown hair, her from that scary gang.'

'Oh her, um, I don't think so. Why?'

'I was just wondering, making sure you haven't lost any important memories that's all.'

'I don't think so, but then would I remember if I had?'

Daisy shrugged, 'I guess you have a point. Look, I'm going to try and find your old house and see if I can talk to your parents. God knows what I'm going to say to them though. They'll probably think I'm some kind of psycho or something,' she laughed nervously.

Charlotte smiled sadly, 'I wish I could go with you.'

'I know.'

'Right, I may as well go now,' she said as she stood up and brushed the loose dirt from her jeans.

'Daisy?'

'Yeah?'

'When you talk to them... if they don't believe you... mention Brunhilda Van Horn. I think that might convince them that you're for real.'

'Brunhilda Van Horn? Who is that?'

Charlotte looked embarrassed as she faded away without another word.

'Okay then... I'll just go then... on my own. Bye,' she said more to herself than to anyone else.

She scribbled the name down on the piece of paper before folding it carefully and putting it in her back pocket. The pencil she placed in the front pocket of her coat and headed out of the park, remembering Charlotte's directions to the house she lived in before she died.

As she walked slowly along the road she felt like she was being watched so she stopped and turned around. Alone, except for a man walking his dog on the other side of the road, Daisy turned back and continued. But the sensation continued with her and so she sped up a little. Rounding a corner, she came to a standstill, waited for a second before leaning round to have another look. Although she could see no-one, a familiar feeling overcame her and she smiled.

'Hi Jack,' she said quietly.

Sure enough, Jack's ghost materialised in front of her.

'How did you know I was here?' he asked seriously.

She just shrugged and carried on walking.

'You seem annoyed,' he quite rightly deducted.

She said nothing.

'Have I done something to make you angry?'

She turned abruptly and he stopped. Pointing her finger at him she was about to speak when a jogger ran past looking at her oddly.

Daisy stopped, turned around and continued walking.

'Daisy, what's wrong?' Jack asked again.

Whispering out of the corner of her mouth, she said, 'You... you... told that vicious creepy gang about me, Jack. And now, I'm pretty sure they want to hurt me... or worse.
