"I hope so. The pain is not fun." It was probably the silliest way to say something like that, but it felt true coming from the boy spirit.

"I'm sure it isn't," he murmured, glancing from the spirit of the boy to the dark spot on the hill and then over to his grandfather. His eyebrows lifted in a questioning expression.

The grandfather spirit frowned at him and shrugged. Jayden noted that both of the spirits seemed even more solid than they had moments before.

As he squatted there a cool breeze started up. It smelled of something vaguely floral.

It seemed odd that the spirits shapes seemed to be solidifying.

Jayden grunted sardonically as the thought occurred to him that, by now, he should be surprised at anything that did not seem odd.

"What's that smell?" he asked almost before he realized the floral scent.

"Almost... gardenia like."

He looked all around, especially upwind, to see if there was a visible source for the odor.

As Jayden looked around he noted that both the spirits were also looking around. Did spirits have a sense of smell?

Grandpa said "seems like it is from up hill. But it smells like a field of flowers. Nothing like that really that direction, as far as I can see."

Billy said "smells more like freshly baked cookies to me." He stands wiping tear streaks from his face and looks up hill.

Evidently spirits could smell things, at least at the moment.

"Do you have to stay here, Billy, or can you follow me up that hill?" he asked, pointing in the direction upwind from their location.

"I can follow, but is that a good idea? I feel the pain stronger if I go that way, so something bad is happening up there."

"Can you tell or do you have any idea just what uh... badness is happening up there?"

Jayden doubted he could help the boy's spirit much and now he was even more worried about Dizzy.

The boy just shook his head. It was beyond his ken.

Grandpa
Grandpa said "I am not sure what is up there, but I am sure that your friend went up there to deal with it. We should stay out of their way and let them do what they have to do. I don't want to loose you boy."

He glowered in the direction of his translucent grandfather.

"I don't want to lose me either, but I want to do something!"

The grandfather spirit shrugged. "I understand boy. But they protect what they can do quite severely. Should you see something you aren't supposed to, well, it could mean reprisal at the very least. I shouldn't even be telling you that. But I want you to live."

He looked from his grandfather to the boy and then back to the spirit of his grandsire.

"Reprisal? Reprisal by who? Whom?"

Jayden shook his head and rolled his eyes.

"This s*** is impossible."

"Exactly, it is impossible. That is what I am trying to say to you, and why we should just do what we are supposed to do. I know nothing galls you boy, but it might save your life."

"But it looks to me that we are supposed to do exactly nothing except for occasional chauffeur work," he complained bitterly.

"I won't disagree with ya boy. I am just trying to keep you alive."

As Jayden considered his options a low keening sound started high up above them. It grew, the warbling cry sounding like it was echoing and getting louder.

"Any idea what's making that noise?" he asked the spirit of his grandfather, then turned to the young boy's specter to see if he had anything to say.

The boy shook his head, but even as he did so, Jayden noticed he was more ghost like than he had been before. The boy was fading. He seemed to have noticed and was looking through his own hands. He hadn't said anything but he seemed to be ok with whatever was happening. He wasn't crying anymore.

Jayden frowned and shook his head for a long moment and then turned to look at the spirit of his grandfather. After a moment, he spoke quietly.

"I think he will be gone soon. Do you think it is because of something... something the cats did?"

Jayden rolled his eyes. He couldn't believe he'd said that.

Grandpa smiled at him and said "yes, I can feel how things are no longer stagnant. That is a good thing."

He turned to look at the spectral boy figure and then up the hill toward the dark spot he'd seen earlier.

"Then what should I try next, Gramps?"

"Tough call, we still have till dawn to deal with whatever might be."
