The darkness did not move, even as Nick spoke to it. There was a deathly silence that fell over the room, save for the slight noise coming from the recording equipment in Nick's hand, and it made Winston tremble, his useless breath coming a little fast out of the habit of fear rather than the true need to keep his lungs moving. One of his breaths came out in a sort of high noise, and at this the shadow flickered, grew darker in recognition, and Winston quickly shut up after that, clamping two hands over his mouth as he barely shifted to stand--or float, really--next to Jess, glancing at the boy with nervous white irises. Winston glanced back at the shadow, and made a decision; if these children would be brave, then he would, too. "Um," Winston cleared his throat, then raised it a bit. "W-we don't mean to trespass or anything, Mr. Ghost... or, eh, Mrs... E-either way, we're only passing through!"
The darkness seemed to flicker at Winston's voice, and a low growl came from the direction of the shadow as it began to creep closer to the three, crawling along the ground at a snail's pace, like dripping oil, engulfing little rocks and pebbles on the ground as it drew nearer. "Oh, god, i-is that a good thing?" Winston whispered frantically to Nick, his voice hushed and high with nervousness.

But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair
