Riley stared back at them, wondering what they were talking about.
She saw Tabitha turn furiously and left while Craig walked round the car and stood after opening the door. “Get in, Tanya. We have to be ok our way.”, Craig said.
Riley nodded and got into the car. Craig did the same and started the car then hit the road.

After an hour later,they got into town, faraway from the academy.
Craig stared around the busy road of Cannon town, getting familiar with the road.
Even though he has left the town a long time ago,he still remembered where his house was.
“We have to go on straight. We are gonna get to my street after the last bridge.” Riley said, looking at Craig.
Craig nodded and continued driving while his eyes searched around.
Riley on the other hand was scheming out her plans in her head.
In other to get the location of those people who were responsible for her death,she knew she needed her ghostly powers and that means she needed to leave Tanya’s body to achieve that.
She decided to do that when they get to Tanya’s house.
“Everything still looks the same.” Craig breathed out the words as he drove slowly on the road.
Riley smiled. “Yeah….the same.” She responded.
They finally got to the other junction where Tanya’s street was located. Craig pulled the car into the street and continued driving.
Riley looked out of the window, studying the houses as they drove past.
Few minutes later, Tanya’s house came into view.
Riley breathed. It was time to depart from Tanya’s body.
She looked at Craig and smiled. “Uh…..before I get to my house, I would like to step out for a while.” She said.
Craig stopped the car immediately and looked at her. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah. Just that I’ve missed this street a lot and I would really wanna take a look before I get home.”
“Should I come with you?”
“Oh no. Just wait here in the car. I will be back.” Riley said and smiled.
Craig nodded and watched her get down from the car.

Riley walked few metres away and found a part which was a hidden from the main road. She stood behind a tree and closed her eyes.
She seized her breath and suddenly,a figure came out of Tanya’s body.
Riley’s ghost was out and Tanya was standing there, looking so confused.
“Where… where’s this place? Where are we?” Tanya asked as she stared around, looking so confused.
Riley moved closer to her. “Doesn’t it look familiar? This is our street.” Riley replied.
Tanya gasped. “What? How did we got here!” Tanya asked, amazed.
“Wait …are you telling me I’m soon gonna see my mom and Tanner??” She asked again.
Riley smiled. “Yeah. I made that possible for you real quick right? Master Craig is waiting in the car for you.”
Tanya’s eyes widened. “What did you say?”
“Master Craig is waiting in the car for you.” Riley replied again.
Tanya gasped. “He…..came here with me to see my family?” Tanya was stunned.
“Yeah. Says it’s been a while he has seen his family too. I guess he’s here to see them too. Try and be natural, Tanya. The Tanya I know has always been bold. He’s human, Tanya. Be bold and face him.”
“I can’t! Just…. finish this up.” Tanya said and shook her head. “No. I’ve not seen my mom and brother for a while now. I think I will take it from here….I will try my best.” Tanya said.
“I need to find them…. those monsters that made me lose my life. I will be back, Tanya.” With that,Riley turned around and disappeared from sight.
Tanya jumped in fright and quickly left the place. She came out back into the open and gasped on seeing Craig’s car.
“He’s really here….he’s really here.” Tanya mumbled as she walked towards the car.
Her eyes darted about with a smile. She was really close to home. She could remember going through all these way with Eddie and Riley.
The memories were so sweet and painful that it brought tears to her eyes.
She got back into the car and tried acting bold but just couldn’t. The tears streamed down her face.
Craig stared at her, wondering what was making her tear up. “Tanya….you are crying.”
“Oh no….I’m fine….just….. overwhelmed. It’s been so long you know….” Tanya mumbled, avoiding his eyes.
Craig forced his eyes off her and focused on the road. “Where’s your house?” He asked.
“Go up front master. Thank you …for being here.” Tanya mumbled, staring down at her fingers.
Craig looked at her, feeling strange.
What was happening?
Why did the air around Tanya suddenly change?
It was like a magic and yet it was real. What’s going on?
