a ghost right next to me at any given time. I wasn’t safe from them
anywhere.
Thinking about safety brought up another question. “What
about protecting yourself? I know Daisy was talking about stones
having different properties. And something about energy.”
“There are way too many stones for me to explain to you
right now,” he said with an easy laugh. “But if you search online for
the properties of different stones, you’ll find plenty of lists that
explain what each of them do.”
I nodded. “Okay. I can do that.”
“As for the energy aspect? Ghosts are attracted to energy,
but in the same sense, you can use your energy as a shield around
yourself. It’s all about visualization. Eventually you can train
yourself to feel all the energy around you, but it takes time and work,
and at this point you might be more comfortable not being able to
feel that kind of thing. For now, if you ever get scared, try just
visualizing yourself surrounded in white light. Or you could try
armor. That’s what I do.” I thought I saw a slight blush creep onto
his pale cheeks.
Okay, information overload. I held up my hand. “Alright, I
have about 1,000 more questions that came up now. I’m going to go
do what you said and look around online for some answers and see
what I can sort out on my own.”
Tucker laughed. “Sounds like a plan. But remember, you can
ask me anything whenever you want. Same goes for your brother —
what’s his name?”
“Gunner,” I answered. “And thank you again. I need to
process the fact that there are dead people walking around all over
the place. Walking — do they walk? Or do they float? Wait, don’t
tell me. There are no rules and they can do whatever they want.”
His grin stretched straight from one ear to the other. “Now
you’re getting it. But remember, you are safe from these floating and
walking and moonwalking dead people as long as you envision
yourself as safe and protected.”
