Open Finished there's a perfectly good explanation why i'm here

Adeloise watched at him as he spoke, weighing each word he said. There were monsters in the forest--creatures who were people once but now changed for the worse. Her curious look slowly turned into a scowl. She honestly never believed that people could lose it so much as to lose their humanity. She's met many ghosts in her age but all of them, even disembodied were all so human. Could there be a being that could be so... dangerous?

This island really opens your eyes, he continued.

Does it really?, she wanted to ask, but she turned her eyes to her guardians, both having worried looks on them. Did they believe this man? They probably do, by the looks of it. Adeloise didn't want to. There can't really be such a thing, would there? She didn't know much about supernatural things past her knowledge of ghosts but it was really hard to imagine.

"Adeloise, you should probably listen to the guy. He knows what he's talking about," said Adrien. His voice was light and warm, and not his usual playful tone. That didn't sit well with the younger girl.

She turned to look at Alex who still stood in front of her. He was really nice, even as to warn her about the dangerous things of the island. "What about you mister? Why are you in the forest instead of the city?" She bit her tongue--that must have sounded rude. "Are you looking for something?" she managed to add.

Alexander's responce had Adeloise throw a glance to Stella who had been nodding understandingly. She'd have to ask her what was their deal with city life being 'so busy' because she'd never had problems about it. Not yet, maybe.

Adeloise had a thoughtful look on her when Alexander spoke again, speaking of the graveyard. To no surprise, a wide toothy grin was her response. "Oh my gosh, really?!" she squeaked, bouncing on her toes at the idea of it. She wanted to see more ghost. She could never go to cemeteries back at home--mainly because she gets caught every single time she tried. She had a feeling her ghost friends had something to do with it--but that was neither here nor now.

She was too happy right now to even care. "I would love to go there!!" Adeloise had an earsplitting grin on her, with her hands clamped together in front of her in such a child-like manner. "Okay, okay! I'll do my best! I'll be a great student! I'll even get A's on all my tests! So please, oh please, you'll promise to go there with me when I keep mine, okay!?"

"Okay, okay..." Adeloise tried to find her calm. As long as she passes her first tests? Sure, she could definitely do that! A piece of cake — first tests were always easier than the later ones. As for the second condition...

Adeloise looked at Alexander first; watching him looking around until he stopped at one side. Had he been looking for them? That was awfully considerate of him--Adeloise knew he was a nice man. There was a warm smile on Adeloise's face when she turned to her companions. She'd already expected the dissatisfied look on Stella while Adrien nodded at her.

"Adrien says it's fine!" she chirped. "Though I guess it would have been better for you to hear that from either of them," she added, a little thoughtful. It wasn't like she's never done it before and she knew the two enough to trust they won't do anything that shouldn't be done.

"Actually... you can actually talk with them," she began. She glanced at the two ghosts with them for a second before turning to flash a smile at Alexander. "Would you like to talk to the grumpy old lady or the funny old man?" Alexander wouldn't have been able to hear the scream of protest from the two spirits.

Adeloise puffed her cheeks up thoughtfully, "Alrighty! I'll let you meet Stella then," she chirped. She took a step back, with almost a skip in her step, nodding back to her companions. Alexander didn't have the luxury to see the frown Stella had on her face at the moment. No worries, Adeloise thought, he'd probably see that later.

Adeloise turned to Alexander one last time, watching him sat down with crossed legs, before she closed her eyes. She spread her arms wide open and took a deep breath. There was a stillness in the forest for a good few seconds before her head bobbed forward, arms falling down with it. Her eyes were open when she raised her head, lost of their green-color in favor of an unfamiliar brown.

She didn't push her hair aside when she approached Alexander, stopping just right in front of him. "Adeloise" leaned forward so their gaze met, hands at her hips. "You picked the right choice bub, because I got conditions to dish out if you're taking our kid out on spooky walks before we go on a vengeance spree unlike that other guy," she spoke, her speech noticeably different from earlier.

"And for the record, I'm not an old lady." The real Adeloise would have retorted to this if she were conscious.

@Lycan

Stella quirked a smirk from out of Adeloise's soft features. It was clearly out of place, even for someone who's only met the girl once. "Call me Stella." Other than the mannerisms, there weren't any other clear indication she was any different, but there was a very mild scent of old medicine that stayed unnoticeable to most.

"They're very simple really," she started, finally pulling away from the man and resorting to pacing in front of him. "First thing is, obviously, I require you to protect her. Adrien and I can keep spirits away but physical creatures are beyond our control in our usual states. You, sir, will be the one watching her back," she said.

"Adeloise is reckless and stupidly curious. You're gonna have a hard time reigning her in so please at best try and keep trouble away from her." Stella had been the only one to have the honor of hearing Adrien's restrained chuckles.

"You also have to make sure that Adeloise gets back to the dorms safe and in one piece. Regardless of the fact that Adrien and I will be there, we still can't keep her completely safe if you're taking a walk this far out from the city."

Stella stopped her pacing and turned to Alexander with a grave look, "We'd really prefer that you don't keep her out late. She's not going to listen to us but try and convince her not to be there after midnight. Can I trust you on that?"
