Kennedy pulled Wraith towards the staircase, smiling at her. "I'm good at hiding, too," she said. "Though most wouldn't believe it."

"You don't really seem like the type,," Wraith agreed, alcohol making her considerably more chatty than usual. Still paranoid, though; she clutched at the other girl's arm and looked in every direction, wondering where they were going. "Who do you hide from?"

"Everyone, when I'm in the right mood. I like to watch others before I decide to talk to them," Kennedy, also, was more truthful and chatty than usual.

She nodded knowingly. "My brother Goblin likes to watch people 'cause he thinks he can figure out everything about them and sometimes he can. He knows who to trust, it's really useful. I don't, I never do, so I don't trust anyone." She looked around again. "Where're we gonna hide?"

"In the rafters," Kennedy whispered her big secret. "You can see everything from up there, except no one can see you."

"Oh!" A spark of excitement lit Wraith's eyes. That was her favorite kind of place. She scurried up the stairs in a pale blur, eager to get there, then waited at the top, a bit unsteady from the drinking, as she sheepishly remembered that most people weren't quite so fast.
"I'm Wraith," she whispered theatrically, as she couldn't remember whether she'd already said that or not. "Except I'm really Clara. Clara Pearson."

"I'm no nickname. Kennedy Blake. Sometimes I get Bubbles but only one person calls me that," Kennedy whispered back, racing after her. She was so excited to have a new playmate.

"Only my brother calls me Clara. He doesn't like Wraith 'cause he says I'm not a ghost but I am," she said solemnly, grabbing ineffectually at the ceiling.

"Ohhh, so that's what 'Wraith' is!" Kennedy was about to ask. "...Are you really a ghost?" she asked in a hushed whisper.

She nodded and, in a sudden burst of determination, threw her arms over a rafter. In a flash, she had pulled herself up and huddled on top of the beam, tiny and all but invisible in the shadows. A thrill of delight went through her. She felt so safe up here.
Except for the drunk part, which caused her to teeter a little.
"I died a year ago and now I'm a ghost," she whispered.

Kennedy gasped.
"That's so neat! Can you fly?"

"Kind of," Wraith said shyly. "I can be very fast and quiet and make it so no one ever sees me." As if to prove it, she swung lightning-quick to the next beam, then motioned at the one she'd abandoned. "C'mon, hide with me!"

Kennedy, while not as fast, had fast reflexes much like Wraith. She pulled herself up next to Wraith with a grin on her lips. She looked down at the party curiously.
Raven and Spot were fighting. A lot of the newsgirls were still socializing at the bar. Tristan was losing at cards. Race and Sapphy had disappeared outside.

Wraith's eyes scanned everything with interest until they spotted Tristan. She went even paler than usual and teetered so badly that one of her hands slipped right off the beam. Luckily, she righted herself.
"I know him..."

Kennedy touched Wraith's shoulder, an odd gesture and attempt at comfort. "Who?" She followed Wraith's line of vision. "Tristan? Ha! Oh, yeah... Everyone knows Tristan."
