Telling myself she could easily be on the West coast, which would put her three hours behind me, doesn't help curb my edginess. Ever since I watched that video last night, I haven't been able to get it off my mind. Where did she get all that stuff about my great grandma? Sure, some of it seemed completely made up...but not all of it.

I've never really considered the existence or nonexistence of ghosts before last night. Why would I? The bit about that Echo girl "talking" to my great grandma was spooky enough. Those last few seconds before the video cut off...I shake my head. I don't even know what that was. Either she's the best actress I've ever seen, or she was honestly terrified. I literally felt a chill when I watched it.

Kyran and I watched the video together, but it clearly didn't affect him in quite the same way. I get it. Mention of the old estate got to him, but he's too absorbed in getting killed right now to think about it much. Still, I want to chuck another pillow at his head for being such a tool.

He must sense my irritation building behind him, because he looks over his shoulder and says, "Admit it, you're mainly stuck on the ghost show because Echo is hot. You don't even believe in ghosts."

"Shut it, Kyran," I growl.

He laughs at me when I go back to my pacing, ignoring him. Not that I'll admit it, but he's not exactly wrong. I'm freaked out by the whole thing, but part of my preoccupation certainly does have something to do with Echo.

I've seen plenty of girls with red hair, but not like hers. It reminded me of those books my older sisters used to love, the one with the orphan girl in Canada who got called Carrots because her hair was so red. Anne of something? Green Gables, that's it. I haven't thought about that book in years. There were even a couple movies they made me watch with them about a dozen times. Echo's hair is like that, and her freckled skin and bright blue eyes are...intriguing.
