Ariadne had asked around about the existence of ghosts, but no adult she knew had ever encountered spirits of dead mortals. “Which doesn’t mean such entities don’t exist,” Uncle Kiril told her. “But what reason do we have to deal with ghosts? Dating werewolves is bad enough.” Which had been a jab at cousin Sid.
“I wonder why ghosts would be here?” Ariadne asked.
Cheetah walked to the nearest group of headstones. “I wonder why people bury their dead in the first place. Why leave evidence behind?”
Ariadne pointed a finger at her twin. “Remember not to talk like that around the others.”
“I’m not stupid!”
“I’ll be careful, too,” Ariadne promised.
Of course they would. They lived their lives in the outside world being careful. But that was the price you paid for living in the outside world. Their cousin Sid had taught them carefully about the traps they had to face. It was worth it.
