Bee
" Take a careful step and remember to not put too much weight on your leg ." the woman with black hair said , her name was Samantha .
" Okay , " the nymph said about to take a step while his right hand held a shiny pole and I held him so he wouldn't fall .
We were in a long room with yellow creamy walls . The floor was flat and grey .
There was two poles built into the ground that stood horizontally at waist height .
Mrs Rosi and Gus had left a few hours ago and I had been left to help with Yuree's physical therapy .
They would return later to pick us up and take the nymph home .
The nymph was now walking between these two poles right now . His left arm was in a sling and his left leg was in a cast .
He was holding the pole on his right and Samantha was directing him how to walk with the cast .
I was there to help .
" Ah , this hurts worse than before ." the nymph said softly as he took a small step with his left leg.
His face had a deep frown and he seemed to be breathing deeply from the effort of moving .
" It's okay . I'm here , and if you fall I'll lift you up . " I said to him and rubbed his back gently . I believed it was a way to calm people down .
The nymph smiled and his face changed to a deeper shade of pink .
Why did his skin change to this color ? I wondered , was it his leg or his shoulder hurting ?
" Thanks Bee . " he said smiling and I smiled back at him .
" Ahem , can you continue ? " Samantha asked us and the nymph nodded . I nodded too but then I heard a bell like voice .
" He's in slight discomfort . " Misty said infront of the nymph .
She had been with us since morning .
I had first seen her when I entered the nymph's room .
She had been standing next to his bed and staring at him . When she saw me enter she had nodded her head and smiled .
" He is still linked with his body and he's not departed . " she said ," Although he's aura seems to be shining bright . Is that why you chose him as your beloved ? "
I had spoken quietly to her , in a voice below a whisper but she had heard me .
" I don't understand. His aura ? " I replied and she tilted her head at me .
Then as Yuree's mother had moved near her , she vanished and appeared next to my seat .
She turned back to the nymph ." His aura is his outward soul energy. Can't you see the second plane ? " She had asked me like I should know about it all . But I didn't know...
" No , I don't know how . " I said still as quiet as before .
" Madin was right , you don't know much do you ? " She said giggling , " Okay , I can teach you. I know alot ... a whole lot . Do you want to learn ghoul ? "
" Stop calling me ghoul , I am Bee . " I said angrily but she just giggled again .
" I know you are Bee but you are also a Corpse who is like a ghoul. So you are a ghoul until you learn to be a Corpse and then I will call you Bee ." she said smiling , " Now how many planes can you see ?"
" None , " I reminded her ," I don't even know what planes are . "
" Oh , right . Okay then let me tell you . " She said and I had glanced at her before putting my eyes back on the nymph .
I couldn't have looked at her without drawing attention and making known I wasn't human . People didn't see ghosts , I knew that .
" Are you listening ? " Misty asked crossly puffing her cheeks , it was ... humorous alittle .
" Yes , " I answered but she stomped her foot on the floor . It didn't make a sound .
" But your not looking at me ! " She said her cheeks puffing up more . I smiled despite myself and pleased to finally annoy her , her actions were strange though .
Did all ghost children act this way ? I wondered .
" I can't look at you . " I explained ," if I did , the humans would know something is wrong with me ."
" Oh , right ." she said understanding , she folded her arms , " That's okay then . Now I said there are three planes . The first plane is the ones humans use . It's where they see color and physical things . "
" Okay . " I said to show her I was listening and trying to understand.
" Then there's the second plane , it's the incorporeal plane . It's where you can see specters such as me and auras of humans and other creatures . "
I had slightly frowned but then put my frown away as the nymph asked about me staying at his home .
He wasn't against it ... I was glad . He was okay with it.
" Ghoul , are you listening ? " Misty said close to my ear but she had no breath .
" Yes , but i listen to them as well . " I replied , " how can I see you if I can't see the nymph's aura ? "
That was one question I wanted to know . How could I see this ghost if they could only be seen in the second plane and yet I could not see any human aura .
" Because I made myself visible to you . " Misty said , " I dropped down as close to the first plane as possible . The humans can't see me but any higher creature could . You haven't learnt how to see other planes yet so I have to be more corporeal but not too much . This isn't how I really look . "
I had felt slightly erked by this . If seeing planes was something I could do then I wanted to learn it. It might help with my unfinished business , I had thought .
" Can you teach me ? " I asked her and she giggled .
" Yes , I can . You just have to choose one of these humans and we'll start when you want . " she said and I looked at the nymph .
I wanted to see his aura , would it be just as beautiful as him ? Would it shine like his hair ? I wondered ...
" Bee , I think your alittle bit too close . Do you guys need some room ? " Samantha said and I was snapped out of my reverie .
I found the nymph looking at me with big eyes. I was leaning forward and my face was very close to his .
" Are you going to kiss him ? " Misty said in a quiet voice and I looked down and then to the side .
Kiss him ? I thought with horror .
I would never dare do it . I could never think of doing that ... I was a monster .
" I'm sorry , nymph ." I said solemnly and Yuree nodded his head looking down .
His skin was that shade of pink again , what was wrong with him ?
" Samantha ," I said and she looked at me from next to the nymph , " Why does the nymph keep turning so pink ? Is he feeling bad ? "
I really wanted to know what was wrong with him .
Samantha raised her eye brows and gave a large chuckle that made me confused .
What was funny ? I thought .
" Bee ... nothing's wrong with Yuree's skin . It's completely fine ." she said .
" But he keeps turning to pink , isn't he feeling bad ? " I asked and she chuckled again .
" He's feeling something alright . " she said looking at the nymph and he looked down and bit his bottom lip .
I was really confused by these actions .
So the nymph was okay even when he changed color ? I thought , he was really unique then .
" Now next step . " Samantha said and the nymph took a step wincing in pain .
" Are you okay nymph ? " I asked concernedly and Yuree nodded his head .
" Yeah , I'm fine . It's just a bit painful using my left leg , it didn't hurt as much when I was limping in the alley ." he said looking at his leg with a frown .
" I can carry you , if you want ." I offered looking at him and Misty giggled infront of us .
" Do it ! please do it ! " she said smiling and jumping up and down, " I wish to see if you'll bond yet . Lift him up , do it ! "
" No , Bee ." Samantha said ," he needs to do this inorder to get better . "
" Okay . " I said reluctantly , I didn't like seeing the nymph in pain but if he would feel better then ... I would have to accept it .
" It's okay Bee ." the nymph said and he smiled at me , " I'll be fine soon . I know if I fall you'll catch me . "
" I know he will ." Samantha said with a chuckle and I became confused again .
What was so funny ? I wondered
