A week ago
Anna tossed in turned in her sleep, " No... Leave Taylor alone..." She mumbled in her sleep the young girl was having a nightmare that her brother was being attacked and was losing the fight. As she dreamed paper in her room started to fly about, suddenly Anna woke up however. " Ah!!" She exclaimed as she sat up breathing hard as she looked around her dark room. " It was just a dream... haaa...." She said as she flopped back down on her back, she then closed her eyes and tried to go to sleep again. When morning came the light of the sun woke Anna up. She sat up with a yawn and went to get off her bed. She took a few steps when she heard the sound of paper. Anna blinked as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, she then saw the mess of papers in her room. Anna's eyes grew wide with shock " What the! How did that happen??" Said in shock. Anna knew nether Taylor or Ellie would do something like this, they never really played pranks on each other. Another idea did come to mind though and Anna's face grew pale at the thought. "N-no... It can't be a ghost no way.." Anna said to herself as she started to clean up the mess and got ready for the day. She decided not to say anything just in case it was a one time deal for whatever reason. But it did not stop it kept happening or the rest of the weak.
Present time
Anna once again woke up to a messy room of paper thrown everywhere, she could no longer stand it! It had to be a ghost. Tears formed in her eyes as she ran out of her room to look for Taylor, who she found in the kitchen eating breakfast. " Taylor! You have to help me! Their is a ghost in my room! It keeps throwing paper every where!" Anna cried. Taylor looked at his sister with concern, he nodded and stood up. " Ok just calm down and I will take a look." He said and let Anna cling to his arm as they then walked back to Anna's room. It was a bit shocking to see paper thrown all over Anna's room. " What the.. Anna when did this start happening?" Taylor said as he moved away from Anna to look at the papers, it looked like notebook paper and other papers she would use in school. "It.. It started a week ago..." Anna admitted. "Wh-what? How come you didn't say anything Anna?" Taylor asked looking back at her. Anna could not find any words to say and just started to cry. Taylor quickly went to his sister's side hugging her close, " Sorry, its ok.. I will find a way to end this. Don't you worry ok? Come lets get you something to eat." Taylor said as he started to lead Anna back to the kitchen. He was glad at the moment it was just him and Anna in the house. His Parents and Ellie where out doing stuff.
Once Anna was seated Taylor started to make her breakfast, her favorite eggs and beacon. Anna sat there in silence as she tried to calm herself down, she had hoped whatever this was would have gone away by itself so she did not have to bother Taylor.. He was a hero now and lots of things he needed to do she hated the thought of being more of a burden to him. When Taylor was finished cooking he placed the plate on the table in front of Anna. " Ok you just relax and eat and I will figure out what to do." He said as he left the room. Ok soo what to do... Th first person that came to mind was Izzy... But Taylor has not seen him in a while and had no real way to find him.. Agh.. Taylor then took out his smart phone and started a internet search.
He was not a fan of so called psychic mediums as most of them are just con artists but.. There was one that seemed to really real. Kaleo Kasser who was a private detective that has solved missing people cases as well as murder cases. He found Kaleo's office address and saw that it was open hours. " Well, its a long shot but its the only one I have right now.. If this does not work I will have to look for Izzy." Taylor said as he headed to the door. " Anna I'm heading out be back soon ok?" Taylor said as he opened the door. When she heard that Anna panicked getting up and ran after Taylor, " Nononononono! You are not leaving me alone with the ghost! I'm coming with you!" Anna said with fear in her voice as she grabbed Taylor's arm. Anna had also been avoiding being home alone all week in fear the ghost would attack her.
Taylor looked at Anna giving a gentle smile as he patted her head and nodded. "Alright lets go." He said and the two of them left the house.

The walk to Kaleo's office was a long silent once as nether sibling did not really know what to say. Anna just clung to Taylor's arm and Taylor wished he could ease her fears. After a while they came to Kaleo's office building. Taylor took a deep breath and exhaled before entering. When they walked in Kaleo who was at her desk doing some paper work. She smiled when she saw the siblings though she could tell by the looks they where giving something was wrong. "Well hello there my dears, please have a seat." Kaleo said with a smile. Both Taylor and Anna nodded as they sat down in the chairs in front of Kaleo's desk. The Detective put away the papers she was working on away and turned her full
The attention to Taylor and Anna. "How may I help you to day?" She asked.
Taylor nodded before answering. " My name is Taylor Ackart and this is my little sister Anna.. Umm we think their is a ghost harassing my sister." Taylor started to say before Anna took over. " It keeps throwing papers all over my room at night! Its been happening for a week!" Anna said as her eyes started to tear up again. Taylor hated seeing his sister cry, so if this woman could take care if this ghost it would be great. Kaleo looked at both siblings for a bit getting a good read on them. They had honest eyes and it really did seem Anna was scared and not pulling some joke. Kaleo smiled and nodded, "I see, if its just throwing things its most likely a poltergeist. They are mostly harmless but can be very annoying. Ok I will be happy to help you." Kaleo said as she then stood up from her chair.
Taylor and Anna both smiled as relief come over them. " Great! Thank you!" Taylor said. "Ohh I can't wait for this to be over." Anna said as she then grabbed Taylor's arm hugging it. Taylor looked at Anna giving a smile. Kaleo watch the siblings and nodded, "Its no problem we can take my car back to your house. " Kaleo said. All three then left the office and Kaleo locked it behind her and all three of them got into Kaleo's car, telling her where to go they reached Taylor and Anna's house in little to no time at all.
Once they all got out Kaleo stood in front of the house trying to feel the ghost that has been bugging Anna but.. She did not feel anything. Hmmm... Perhaps it was trying to hide from her? Taylor walked up to the door opening it and invited Kaleo inside. "This is the way to Anna's room." He said as he lead the way, he opened the door and Kaleo stepped inside. Again nothing. " So Anna's room is where all the ghost activity is at?" Kaleo asked. Anna nodded, " Yeah only in my room and when I;m sleeping it throws papers everywhere!" she said. Kaleo nodded as she looked around the room. " Ok then I will stay in here a while and try to make contact with the spirit, I want you two to stay in the living room please." Kaleo said with a smile. Taylor and Anna both nodded as they left and Kaleo closed and locked the door. She then started to chant a spell that would force any spirit hiding to come out.
But nothing happened, Kaleo raised a eye brow and put her hands on her hips. "Ok...." She muttered as she tried few other spells but nothing happened. It seems ether there was nothing here or the spirit left when hearing she was coming here... Kaleo stayed in the room for a good hour however doing her best to make contact but nothing.. " Ok then... Next step to make paper talismans and put them up in the room.. If did flee it wont be able to come back." Kaleo said as she pulled out some paper strips and chanted a spell and wards appeared on the paper talismans, she placed a few on Anna's walls and then left the room and made her way back over to Anna and Taylor. " Well children... I was not able to make contact sadly.. But I made these paper talismans that will help keep the spirit at bay just in case it fled when it heard I was coming." Kaleo said as she gave the paper talismans to Taylor. " If anything happens feel free to call me." Kaleo said handing Taylor her card.
Both the siblings where very disappointed that Kaleo was unable to find the ghost but where happy with the paper talismans. Taylor took them and nodded, " Thank you Miss Kasser." Taylor said giving a weak smile. Kaleo smiled giving a nod and left the house heading back to her office. She wished Kaleo did wish she could have done more though however.
The day went on and Taylor put the paper talismans hiding them of course so his parents and baby sister would not see them. Soon it was time for bed and Taylor stayed with Anna till she fell asleep. The young boy decided to sleep on the floor of his sister's room just in case something happened he did not want her to be alone. When morning came nothing happened and Anna and Ellie went to school and his parents went to work. Taylor however waited till everyone was gone and called the school and told them he would be unable to make it something had come up.
He then locked the house up as he left. "Not that I don't trust Mss. Kasser... But I want a second opinion. I just hope I can find Izzy its been a while since I last saw him. I wonder if he will even help... But it wont hurt to ask." Taylor said as wind pick up around him and he took off into the air. He would fly around the whole city looking for Izzy, it should be able to find him as he stuck out in that reaper outfit. After about hour of looking Taylor spotted him. He was in the park, Taylor then flew down to the park and made his way for to Izzy. " Hey Izzy, long time no see." Taylor greeted giving a weak smile.

Normally, the park was a place of peace and calm for Izzack. Somewhere that he could relax with some animals, or simply lose his worries in the tranquil nothingness that permeated the place. Today, however, things were a little more somber. Pleasant as it was, sometimes the dregs of society met their end in such surroundings. Still, his duty done, he wandered around aimlessly, trying to regain some inner peace after a particularly somber passing.
When a young voice called out his name, at first Izzack was confused. At least, he was until he turned to see Taylor, a boy he had gained some inspiration from in the past. "Oh! Hello, Taylor. It is nice to see you again." he returned the greeting, trying his best to smile back, despite the whirlwind of emotions rampaging in his head. "How can I help you today?" he asked. He couldn't be sure, but he felt as if Taylor himself was also dealing with something greater than him. Well, if it took his mind off of his own problems, Izzack was willing to help with just about anything at this point in time.

Taylor gave a weak smile, it was that obvious something was troubling him? Ahh Taylor knew he did not have the best poker face, but then again it must also be a bit odd to Izzy that he suddenly just showed up from no where. "Izzy... Umm I know this is sudden but... Can you come to my house to check to see if there are really no ghosts in my little sister's room?? You see... She told me all last week she would wake up with papers thrown everywhere.. Yesterday I got someone to come and check it out but she did not find anything.. And gave us paper talismans just in case it fled to keep it at bay.. Last night nothing happened but I just want a second opinion." Taylor explained and hoped Izzy would agree to take a look.

"Ghosts? That is quite troubling, Taylor." Izzack commented. Izzack couldn't help but pity the spirits that couldn't find peace in death. In fact, he had a difficult time deciding who he felt had a rougher time of it, the ghost or the person being haunted. "Of course I'll help. If there's a spirit haunting your sister, it'd be best for everyone involved if it found some semblance of rest." it felt weird, to be this calm just chatting with someone, but Izzack figured that, since he was talking with someone who already knew his secrets, perhaps that was enough to make the gears in his head turn smoothly. It was much better than his normal stammering fit, that was certain.
"Do you want to examine the room now, or do you wish for me to come by at a certain time? I'm...not really busy, most of the time."

Taylor smiled in relief when Izzy agreed to come look at Anna's room. " Now would be great, both my parents are at work and my little sisters are at school. " Taylor said as he then started to show Izzy the way to his home. After about 30 to 40 minutes the two came to Taylor's home. It was a two story light blue house with a modest front yard nothing fancy with green grass. Taylor walked up to the door and used his key to unlock it. He then held the door open for Izzy closing it behind them. The inside Photo's of Taylor's family could be seen on the walls, it pretty much looked like a regular family home. "Anna's room is up the stairs." Taylor said going up the steps, when he reached Anna's room he opened the door and stepped inside. Everything was neat and orderly, a desk for homework, a bed and toys. " This is Anna's room.. Whatever is going on its only happening in here.. Last night though nothing happened.. But I just want to make sure." Taylor said as he looked at Izzy.

As Izzack stepped into the room, he couldn't help but feel odd. There was...something about this place that was strange, but he wasn't getting the feeling that it was a lost soul. "This...thing with your sister, you said it's been happening for only a week, right? Has anything else happened with her in that time? Something that might...explain things?" he asked, examining the space.
He didn't want to discount Taylor's worries out of hand. After all, he wasn't so experienced at this sort of thing himself. It wouldn't be impossible for there to be a spirit that he couldn't sense, he supposed. As such, it was important to remain open to any possibility. "Can I ask who you visited before? The one who gave you the protective talismans?" he didn't believe that had anything to do with the matter at hand. At least, not directly, but he still felt it important to get as much information as he could.

Taylor watched as Izzy looked around Anna's room, when he started to ask questions Taylor answered the best he could. " Yeah, she said its been happening this last week, when she wakes up paper is thrown everywhere. And no she did not mention anything else. replied, the next question made him blink . " I asked a woman named Kaleo Kasser, I um... Er heard of all the cases she has solved using her powers as a psychic medium I thought she would be able to help.. I.. I was in a hurry..." Taylor quickly added at the end looking off to the side as if a little embarrassed and concerned that Izzy may be annoyed.

That...well, actually, that explained quite a bit. Izzack gave Taylor a noncommittal grunt as he pondered over what Taylor said as he put his hand on a spot in the room touched more heavily by Kaleo's magic than other spots. So, this was her doing. He wondered for a moment if he could only feel her magic because of the bond he had formed with her. He didn't wonder long, of course, since he had a friend that needed his help.
That was the more confusing problem, though, because if that presence he felt was Kaleo's magic, then that meant that a ghost had not been here, and if a ghost had not been here, then that means something else entirely caused this whole scenario. What could it be? What force could toss about paper like this without being there, or leaving a m-
Oh, that might be a possibility. Izzack seemed to jolt slightly as he came to a possible conclusion. Hesitantly, he looked over to Taylor. "Taylor, do you think that you...I mean, do you think that it's possible that you did this? Perhaps in your sleep? Use your wind powers to shuffle the paper around, I mean. Not intentionally, of course." he said, feeling awful for accusing a friend, even if this was something that wasn't really that bad, simply a nuisance, and an accidental one at that. Even so, he had to ask. It was the only thing that really stood out to him.

Taylor stood there stunned at Izzy's thought he was the one who moved the papers, that thought had never crossed his mind.. Mainly as something like that had never happened before but.. That did not mean that couldn't be happening now. But why? And just why Anna's room if that was the case? Agh yet another reason not to like his powers! Bad enough they landed him in trouble and caused him great stress. Now his powers may be going off in his sleep now and scared Anna? But... The night he spent in her room nothing happened. Taylor stayed silent as he started to rub his arm nervously. "I... I don't know.. That has never happened before but... It is a possibility.." Now he had to think of a way to stop that from happening if it really was his powers that where at fault here.

"It's a possibility...but! but! That doesn't mean that's what's happening!" Izzack offered somewhat frantically. Taylor's reaction only served to strengthen his own guilt at even suggesting such a possibility. Still, he didn't have another reason for this to be happening. There wasn't a ghost as far as he could tell, and he was somewhat confident in his ability to sense spirits. As it was, it really seemed that there could be no other explanation. That didn't mean that this conclusion meant perfect sense, though, and there was indeed something about it that bugged Izzack, but he just couldn't figure out what it was.
Wait...maybe...
"...If it was you who did this...then why were only the papers affected?" he offered, thinking as he went along. "Papers would be very easy to move, yes, but why did nothing else get tossed around? I doubt you'd be able to fine control your powers to only affect certain objects both on accident, and while you were asleep." he continued. As he stopped to think further, he suddenly broke out into a violent blush. He was so rude as to accuse Taylor, and stress him out, only to immediately refute his own idea. He should have just kept his mouth shut for a few more minutes until he was certain of what to say! Stupid, stupid Izzack!
"Uh...that's to say...you're...most likely not to blame for this...sorry."

Taylor was half listening to Izzack at this point as his mind raced with panicked thoughts. How would he tell Anna this was most likely his fault? Would she be angry at him? He could not really blame her if she did get angry.. She had been so scared it may have been his fault... So he just had to somehow fix it and make sure it did not happen again. Taylor took a deep breath and exhaled to try and calm himself. Taylor looked over at Izzy and felt bad he bothered his friend over this.. " No... I'm most likely am. Now all I can do it make sure it never happens again.. I will over up the vents in my room.. That should work." He said, Taylor then left Anna's room and headed to the kitchen as he started looking for duck tape in some drawers.

Oh.
Oh no.
This was exactly the thing that Izzack did not want to happen. "Of course, if anything, that'll rule you out as the cause of this." he offered weakly at Taylor's plan. He couldn't help but feel awful for making his friend feel guilty like this, especially since...well, he did believe what he had said just moments ago...did he? Of course he did! If Taylor was doing this, more than just papers would be tossed around...and if he was behind it, surely this would have started happening before now, right?
Right?
With so little information, Izzack couldn't help but get frustrated over this situation. Without closure, he was almost guaranteed to be stuck, feeling horrible over how he approached this problem.
D...do you need any help, Taylor?" he offered meekly, feeling as if he had already ruined things enough. Who knows how much worse he'd make it if he tried to help again. Still, he couldn't just not offer his assistance.

Taylor dug around the drawers in the kitchen a bit till he was able to find the duck tape. As he looked at it small tears started to form in his eyes. His luck just seems to be getting worse and worse.. Ever since the Templars attacked the school.. He has been getting into trouble worse then before, like when he got kidnapped by John...Now this.. He was so stressed out he did not know what to do anymore. But if he could at least give his sister peace of mind he could find some a little peace in that himself. When Izzy asked if he could help Taylor did not look at him mainly because he did not want his friend to see his tears. "No, its ok.. I can take care of it myself.. Thank you Izzy.." Taylor said trying to say that in a normal tone. He then turned and headed back to the stairs.
