Theo wasn't entirely sure what had happened to them. Her brother wasn't seeing ghosts and when she touched something, albeit experimentally at first, nothing happened. There were no echoes of the past. Nothing that told her of what could've happened. Something that she'd wanted for a very long time.
She had also known that it would be short lived. There was no way her abilities would just up and leave like that. However, she'd managed to sleep and sleep well. No feeling of hands trying to grab her. No voices clear as day in her head or scents to throw her for a loop. All of that ended though. The moment she heard her brother's knock.
It was like a floodgate opened. Practically caused a flood the moment those words left his mouth. Nellie's back.. The one ghost that neither of them minded. She knew that he didn't. Why would he? That was, after all, his twin.
"Did she say anything?"
Despite being well rested, her voice was laden with sleep.
