To answer the ghost question .. No, they aren't real and they don't exist. At least not in Devious Point, anyways. The 'ghost' that Cassie was wondering about was none other than Kristen May Cooper .. A girl who had too much life nowadays to be confused as a ghost, not that Cassie would know that yet anyways. At that particular moment, Kris could be seen making her way through the small forest surrounding Willow's Creek, headed towards the girl's only place of serenity. You know how some people go to church for forgiveness or go to a club to forget? Well, to a girl like Kristen with a murder, or accomplice in a murder, hanging over her head, the place where all of the madness started was pretty much the only place that she could keep herself from going completely crazy. Have you heard the psychotic rumors people had been coming up with these days? Like how ghosts murdered those boys or how the ones responsible probably escaped from some mental hospital in another state. Honestly, the things that people were saying made Kristen wonder what was wrong with them.

Of course, it hadn't happened like that at all, but to tell people such things would mean giving up the secret she had been keeping for quite a while. Hence why she was headed towards the one place where she knew, or at least thought, no one else would be so she could just sit and think in peace. If Kris had known, however, that the place she wanted to relax at was occupied, she would have headed back towards her house and just hung out in her room. Kristen, although best friends with the girl standing around the creek, didn't really want any company. Especially not from the people probably most affected by what people were saying. A part of the girl just wanted to laugh it all off and make up jokes about how people were so stupid sometimes, but no .. She couldn't. For what they had done wasn't worthy of joking about and if she had even tried to make jokes about such things, well, for certain she would be crossing the line. Kristen wasn't a murder, nor did she ever want to be .. She had just been scared and a victim of the whole affair. That was all, wasn't it?

Yes, it definitely was. And Kris hadn't planned on getting involved in anything else such as that anymore. The first two had been bad enough. Kris wasn't sure she could handle the pressure anymore if another body was turned up dead because of her. At least, these were the thoughts that Kris tried to keep in mind as she reached the other side of the forest and her eyes met her long time friend Cassie standing there, looking as though she'd just seen a ghost. "So I'm guessing the silly rumors people are coming up with have affected you too." Kris had joked, rather horribly in fact. The brunette girl let what could only be described as a giggle slip through her lips before heading towards the same rock that Cassie was standing near and taking a seat on it. It was kind of crazy how they were both there and for probably the same reasoning. Now all they needed was Juliette and the moment would be complete. "Didn't think anyone would be out here." the girl had stated, letting her eyes wander over the semi-small body of water just a few feet away. How this all started in that same spot where Kris was sitting, she didn't know. It just sort of .. Had. And she wished desperately that it could be changed.
