Zedd doesn’t mention her to Ryan. The ghost stays in the house. Under cupboards, on top of the fridge, on the banister, in the tub that doesn’t work anymore and mostly where the sun is. Her eyes are dark, or at least one is and the other is foggy and white. That’s all he really sees of her when she’s around because she’s disappeared.
Zedd reaches up for the cereal where she is and she gently pushes it towards him. He looks up at her, catching her eyes before he can see anything else. “Hey, is there anymore cereal?” Ryan’s voice cuts him from his trance and he looks back at the fellow goth. He shakes the box. It’s only enough for one and he gives it to her. He’ll find something else to eat.
He glances back at the top of the fridge, but she’s gone and he’s disappointed.
Since zedd could remember, he could see things other people couldn’t. A lot of times he wouldn’t react to what he saw. That’s what they wanted to grow strong. Attention. Energy. The sad eyed ghost however in this house was something he dedicated a lot of attention to. He wanted to know who she was.
Ryan shook the box. Eyeing zedd she poured out a box into a bowl, “You okay over there cowboy? You’re doing that spacey thing again.” Zedd opened the pantry in search of something else to eat. He lucks out with a banana and a pack of instant oatmeal.
Their foster descends the stairs and they do their best to look well behaved. Daphne is a business woman. She has big blue green eyes and she’s built like a model, both in height and slimness. Her eyes are starting to crinkle in their corners and it's the only sign of aging. She puts both hands on Ryan’s shoulders and it makes him uneasy.
He feels the pin prick of the ghost’s presence return.
“You guys weren’t home when I was here.” He sees that Ryan is uncomfortable under her hard grasp. “Your curfew is not negotiable.” Zedd closes his eyes the second Ryan’s face gets planted to the table. The cereal goes crashing down. “I warned you.” Before they know it, daphne is back to her regular demeanor, artificially beautiful and he can see Ryan’s shaking from rage.
Zedd tries to save her cereal, but to no avail. He gives her his instant oatmeal. “Here,” he tells her, “or the shakes will set in.” Ryan only agrees because he’s right and the shakes feel worse then Daphne’s burst of violence.
He turns and he can see julien over his shoulder. For the first time, he can see her see her. Whole. She’s a red head like the woman. She looks a little like daphne but more like someone else he can’t name. Her eyes are full of tears and he can see the way her fingers curl through the refrigerator that she’s also angry. He sits down and she blinks mechanically at him.
“Ryan— do you see any cereal up there?” Ryan looks up, she shakes her head no and continues eating. She doesn’t see julien. This is more disappointing for him. “Yeah, I didn’t think so either.”
Constantine stared down the dim hallway at the white outline. He could hear the hitch in daisy's throat as he flipped on the light and it disappeared. "Wh-what was that?" Her voice shook so badly he had the urge to out her out of her misery himself. Some people weren't meant to see.
He walked down the hall that felt more like a shifting maze as the walls fell and rose to guide them to the heart of it all. "Mini," he greeted as they finally came to the heart of the maze. It was a big white room with paintings and blank canvases. Daisy drifted towards the them. It looked like the work was rotting. Pushed into a corner of the room, there was a table and someone at it. The red head couldn't see her face yet. She had her back to them.
There it was, the thing from the hall with its hands physically buried into the woman's bleeding shoulder. When mini turned, daisy jumped back at the filmy eyes and deathly white skin. "This is what it looks like." The colicky voice state and before daisy knew it she was standing with Constantine in an empty room.
"W-what?" He took his crumpled cigarettes from his back pocket, "that what you're gonna be like when it takes over."
