« I don’t know, why are you asking me??? » She looked at him like he said the most absurd thing ever. Because he did just said the most absurd thing ever. « Because you’re good at coming up with random theories and things like that. » She answered like it was the most logical thing, ever, because it was. « Maybe they’re not scared of us but because we can’t see them so they’re freaked out because they didn’t realize they’re dead? Oh no I know! Maybe they think we are dead!! » Ah, she knew she was right to ask him. Now she had a really stupid explanation to something even more random and that probably did not need any explanation. Except that Maria needed to have an answer to her question and she was really glad that she had a bestfriend capable of imagining theories like this one, because now she could actually think of a semi-logical reason why ghosts were not afraid of them and she was much more at peace with that. « Oh my god, that’ why they try to scare us ? They want us to disappear and go back to the other side ? That’s kinda sad when you think about it. » She told him with a smile, a bit too invested in the theory.

And maybe she was starting to regret ever asking Bella to summon ghosts with him, because she should have known something was going to go wrong. Something always went wrong when the dude was involved - no she was not exaggerating, just slightly panicking. Bellamy’s arm tightly squeezed in her own hands, Maria was not about to get an inch away from the only other person in the apartment, eyes fixated on her bedroom’s door in case some non living thing - or a cat - was to emerge from it. « I don’t know I was just thinking!!! - You’re not supposed to be thinking!! » She squeaked at him, even more panicked than before, because she knew how bad it could be in her friend’s head - way too many years to count spend with him, she had experience with his mind - and it could not be a good thing. « I didn’t!!! Oh my god why would I summon Bloody Mary in your apartment??? - I don’t know, curiosity??? » She would have done it out of curiosity, not in her own apartment though, she was not stupid. Or maybe she was, otherwise she would have not tried to summon anything with an unpredictable variable next to her. « I’m sorry!! It wasn’t supposed to work!! » And now she was just glaring at him, clearly mad that he never listened to her. « Why wouldn’t it work?? I told you it was not something you should mess with ‘cause it can be dangerous. » They clearly messed with the thing, and from where they were standing - so very far from the scary room with the scary noises - it was also very clear that there was some dangerous thing in her bedroom.

Bellamy squeezed her even tighter than before if it was possible and started stating nonesens. So Maria relaxed just a tiny bit, maybe they were just overreacting because of  the eerie atmosphere around them. « She can’t be stucked behind a mirror and make noises like this!! - She’s a ghost she can do whatever she wants!!  » Hopefully not get out of the mirrors though, Maria was not really keen on having a dead roomie haunting her place. « It’s not my fault!!! » She gazed up at him, unconvinced look plastered on her face. « Yes it is. » Kind of. She should have known he was not going to be able to focus. In no time, Maria still refused to let go of her friend, dragging him toward her room, whether he wanted it or not. She needed moral support and her cats were nowhere to be found. « Okay, » So she was definitely overreacting, the proof that were nicely sleeping on her bed, totally pretending they did not make a mess that nearly caused Bella and her to have a heart attack. The felines were lucky she loved them, she would have been so mad otherwise. « I'm not mad about it, » She was not really surprised. « Come on a ghost would have been fun! » Or not, but kind of, because now she would have had proof that they were real and just it was a cool thing to have a ghost around, especially if they did not plan to stay for too long. « I'm gonna throw a rug over every one of them, - Okay. » SHe shrugged, not about to interfere if that made him feel better, following him around the place to make sure he did not hurt himself in the rush of the panic. « Now we're safe, she can't see us anymore. - Thanks baby. You wanna do a cleansing ritual to be sure it’s safe ? » She asked softly, feeling a little bit bad that he was actually that scared.
