In the next two days, when she meets the members of the squad, she will work. In the future, nothing unusual for Carmen happened, besides being always watched by Kyle and Lucian, because these two were the ones who would always be able to monitor her.
It is a nice Sunday day here in Brighton, a sunny day when there is zero chance of precipitation and a great temperature of eighteen degrees Celsius even though we are at the end of September. People would say it is hot either because of climate change, or because we have destroyed the ozone layer, but in reality, both of them are the causes of this heat, plus many more reasons.
At the house where Carmen lives her everyday life, a woman in her forty's is leaving the house, with a bag and dressed up nicely for her job. The woman is the mother of Carmen, and she works as a receptionist in a small hotel in this city. The work she has been doing for almost five years is reasonable, but in this period, it is not so profitable, since this city is classified as one with a beach, and the summer has already ended, but still, there are people who are coming, even here even in December, to have a good time. The Mother of Carmen leaves the building, and goes to the car she owns. It's not a Turismo, nor a Ferrari, nor a Lamborghini, it's a classic Opel car, good for a family of two people.
When the Mother of Carmen left the area, a spirit came through a car. And that spirit is none other than Lucian. He looks around the street, and after he observes no car is coming, he crosses the street. He does that because going in a car is dangerous for a driver. Most car accidents are made by ghosts who are going through cars who are moving at a high speed. When Lucian gets to the other side, he goes to the door of the house, and then, realizing he was a ghost, he goes through the door.
"Carmen," says Lucian. "Are you awake?"
"Yes…" says Carmen, leaving the kitchen, tired and with a mug of mint tea in her left hand.
"Are you tired?"
"Really? You cannot see by yourself?"
"Not really. You always look like that." jokes Lucian to her.
"Fuck off." says Carmen to him, taking a sip from her tea and walking through the ghost.
It didn't pass one week, and these two have already established a good friendship.
Carmen goes back to her room, where she closes the door after her, puts the mug on her desk where she does her homework. Before she was about to take off her T-shirt, she looked at the door where Lucian was about to go through it.
"Do you mind?! I am changing here."
" I apologize." says Lucian, backing off from the room and standing in the hall like a good kid. "So. What are you going to do on this beautiful day?"
"Study." says Carmen from the room. "I need to study for tomorrow's test in Mathematics."
"Really? study? A girl at your age?"
"I am surprised a ghost from the Victorian age would say that," says Carmen after a few moments, leaving her room, and looking at the ghost of Brighton levitating on the Hall of Carmen's house.
"Ah… The times have changed," says Lucian. "I got sued by the changes of this world."
"Really?"
"Yes. Like back then, homosexuals would've been sent to church, but nowadays, we accept being accepted into this world. But to me, it doesn't matter, since I am a ghost."
"You mean ghosts are not able to feel emotions?"
"Yes," says Lucian. "But why should you study? Your Vewolf genes are able to make you remember way too easily."
"Really?"
"Yes. You did not notice anything special about the memory of yours?"
"…If you talk about it. I do remember what I ate five days ago." says Carmen, stopping from walking up to the front of the table from the kitchen, about to pick up the backpack of hers. "What if…?" She looks up for at least a minute, then with a smile on her face, she looks at the ghost of Brighton who continues to levitate like a normal ghost. "Oh my god! I do remember the entire lessons from eighth grade to now. My Goodness, what is this?"
"This is just an evolution of the human brain when it is being combined with a species from the second dimension."
"Bloody hell." she whispered to herself, touching her hair.
"But to a Vewolf. And with a human. Changes might be big enough to remember even the first seconds of the moment you've been brought into this world."
"That means," she says with a happy face. "I do not have to study anymore?"
"If you put it like this, you are able to read an entire book in even an hour and remember everything. Then yes." says Lucian.
"Awesome!" she responds to Lucian, takes her manual, opens the first page, and she looks at Lucian. "Can't you leave me alone?"
"I cannot do it. I have to watch over you. Be sure nothing bad will happen."
"Okay," says Carmen. "But do not disturb me from the lecture, and do not go into my mother's room. Alright?"
"Alright."
"Promise?"
"Promise on my life."
"Good…" says Carmen, walking to her room, entering and locking the door from inside her bedroom.
Lucian, the ghost of Brighton, smirks while he looks at the room where Carmen's mother sleeps by herself and changes into her working uniform. The ghost decides to go through the walls of the room where Carmen's mother is located and looks around it. He stays there for a few moments, then heads outside the room because he did not find anything useful there for him.
The ghost leaves Carmen's house, and floats outside where he will be staying and looking at the house, since he doesn't want to get into the entire house and disturb Carmen from her studies.
