Forever! Then we\u2019ll see how scared they are!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The idea of haunting her siblings filled her with so much glee she did some cartwheels in the dark. She wasn\u2019t worried at all about falling over or crashing into something because she was dead and being dead meant you couldn\u2019t hurt yourself at all. And even if you could, you couldn\u2019t die.
