Cursed with a Ghost of Death 1. Haunted house
A grey pick up truck halted metres away from a 10 foot tall rotten old gate. It had cobwebs and all kind of nasty stuff on it as it guarded a one storey tall house behind it.The house was a perfect example of a haunted house. It had cobwebs literally everywhere. The windows that were shut close. The roof. Everywhere!Five teenagers were seated inside the truck - three guys and two girls - who were there for one thing. Adventure."Okay, guys. We're here." Mark, the guy in the driver seat turned and spoke to the rest sitting in the back seat."Alright, let's do this!" His girlfriend, Sadie, sang immediately after."Let's go!" Peter, one of the guys sitting in the back seat held the car door beside him and was about to push it open-"Wait!""Ugghh!" They all whined and sank back deep in their seats, "Of course, she must have something to say!" Mark complained frustratingly."I'm just worried about us! I have a really bad feeling about this." Nelly, the second girl who had stopped them e

Meanwhile, back outside the gate.Twenty minutes had passed and Mark and Sadie weren't back yet."What's taking them so long?" The blabbermouth, who was now sitting in the front passenger seat, started to whine in utter boredom. They weren't supposed to take more than five minutes."Maybe something happened to them?" Nelly spoke up after staying quiet since the couple left the car."Or maybe they're making out real hard in there." Peter smiled at his own idea of what they were doing. Knowing Mark and Sadie, it was one hundred and five percent possible."I agree with him." Luke pointed his fore finger in his direction, though his eyes were on the person in the opposite direction."For real? Should we go check on them?" He shot up in his seat looking back from both Luke to Nelly."No. No, you can't go checking on people making out." Luke answered him with a weird expression. Like who does that?"Err... have you guys forgotten why we're here? The mission?""Adventure.""Yeah, whatever yo

Twenty years later.Seconds before the alarm would go blaring loudly, she stretched her left hand towards it, turning it off. She grabbed her phone along while returning her hand and brought it to her face, opening her eyes sluggishly.6:30am. Sitting up slowly, she fell back immediately. Just a little more...'Brrrrrrrr!' The loud sound of the alarm rang abruptly, waking her up properly this time with her jolting up, turning it off and running towards the bathroom. She always sets the alarm to ring a minute after 6:30 because she always gives into the sleep's temptation just after stopping the first one from blaring. Out of the bathroom and into the closet, she comes out again in an overly sized black sweatshirt over loose denim jeans. Her hair was bonded in a messy bun with loose strands practically everywhere. She began to tidy up the disarrayed room; her blanket, books, and some socks were scattered all over the room.After doing that, she took out a pair of socks and put them

Worst Nightmare? Hell, her whole life was a freaking nightmare! What's going to be new this time?Her life is like a dorky hole that she couldn't come out of, so bring it on bitch!Don't be mistaken, all these are just in her head. If only she could just say them... Just if-'Brrrrrrrrr!' God, that sound!She had jumped at the sudden loud blaring sound of the school alarm, indicating it was time for her first class, History.Then it hit her. She was standing there alone. The whole hall was sparkling empty! How long had she been standing there? Lost in her thoughts...No! Right now wasn't the right time to start thinking again. She turned to her locker to take her History textbook out when she suddenly heard her name."Miss Davies?" She jumped the second time. What is it with these people?!She turned to face the- Who the hell is that?!The person who had called her had turned out to be the principal who was standing beside a... demigod? No, c'mon! He's human for sure, I mean...? Right

He smiled at them charmingly as he tucked his hands in the pockets of his jacket, waiting for the teacher's next instruction.Meanwhile, Isa's head had gone lower than usual. She's never liked being in the spotlight. In a place where she gets the whole attention towards her. Nah uh!And then what could be worse than that was if she was asked to do something in front of people - which again she unarguably hates! - and fails to do it. Woefully! She just wanted to go home right now. Or maybe to Pablo's."Well, you're welcome, Mr. Jackson. Please do take a seat. You too, Miss Davies." Mr. Mark stretched his hand towards the rows of students seated.There were empty seats at the end of the most of the rows. One of which belonged to Isa.They both took a step to go through the midst of the first and second row at the same time and stopped immediately. At the same time.They made eye contact and Andre nodded for her to go first but instead of moving forward, she did the opposite.After movi

"Oh, Miss Davies," She quickly let her hand out of his light grip as the principal suddenly showed up behind him. "You must be here for...?""My punishment. Mr. Mark... gave me detention this morning." Her head hung low as she said her reason for being there."I should go." Andre spoke up afterwards. "See you around." He whispered to her with a light smile before leaving the both of them.See you around? He meant her, right? See her around? He wanted to see her around-"Well then," The principal cut her thoughts off, "I don't even want to know what you did. Just... go to the library and deal with it." Then, he turned and shut the door behind him.Okay, so the library was bearable even though she really didn't like books. She would just clean it and leave. What's the worse that could happen?She had gotten to the library only to meet it... neat and tidy."See? It isn't that bad." A rare smile accompanied her words as her eyes moved round the library."You're here for your punishment?"

The driver paused for a moment, "It depends.""I'll pay you. Any amount!" Shut up! How much do you even have?!"It's not about the money. Why do you want to go there?" His brows were furrowed slightly.How is that your business, sir? "To see someone." She replied him with that instead of the one her irresponsible and unrespectable mind had in stored."Who? If I may ask." Okay... "I mean, no one barely lives there anymore. It's near the outskirts of the town.""Well, because this person asked me to go there doesn't mean he lives there." Wow! This should be the longest in her speaking record today."Oh, He? Ahh, okay." He nodded with a knowing face.What? What- No! No, no, no, it's not-"Get in. I'll take you there." He finally said, smiling at her."Sir, it's-" Ahh, forget it! Why care now if he misunderstood you? He's not the first anyways.She sighed and opened the back passenger's door and entered, sitting at the right side of the back seat. "Ready?" He looked at her through the rea

"I guess you only show up at the brink of death, ey?" She sighed at her ridiculous question.After calming her lungs, she opened her eyes again and a small whine escaped her lips as it began to look like she was blind, with her vision only welcoming darkness. 'Are you sure you're not dead? Or in a coma but surely going to die soon?'She sat up abruptly at the sight of a torch right across her. Light! But wasn't this supposed to be-Before she could complete her thought, another torch blazed dimly behind her. And another. And another. And they were all going upward at distanced sections on the stairs railing that suddenly appeared infront of her. No, please...The stairs looked endless just like how the hallway did before she began walking to the end, but there was no way she was going to move an inch this time.Hell can break loose for all she cared, after all, she was dead to herself already.She stayed put with her legs folded across her chest and her hands resting on her knees as

What had he seen?Just what?The question kept running through her mind nonstop all through the class.Finally, the class ended and she hurried out immediately, hoping somebody won't follow her but, when has hope ever been on her side? Oh wait... NEVER!"Hey," He held one of her arm, stopping her and turning her towards him, "Do you have a minute? Wanna talk to you." His face was serious and all and questions were swimming in his eyes as he looked down at her annnd... no, she was not ready to answer anything. Not like she had any answers to give him though."No, I'm sorry. I don't even have a secon-"She barely finished her sentence before he held her wrist and dragged her to the school's garden. All the way there, she was trying her very possible best to get his hand off her. "Can you like, let go of me?" He finally stopped and turned, then looked at his hand wrapped around her wrist and then back at her face. He stared at her. More like her eyes. His eyes moved, staring at each ey

Isa blinked. Once. Twice. Then her eyes twitched."What?!"Wait. Something's wrong somewhere. He must be mentally insane."Are you... insane?""No?" He chuckled out."That's what an insane person would person say."He chuckled even more then stopped when he saw that she still had a serious face on. Okay..."I'm sane, okay. No offense, but I should be asking YOU that question.""Why would you think I'm insane?""For starters, you're a loner. I mean not even a single friend? No, not even a friend. Someone who at least says hi. And then you're always acting weird. Peop-""Ehh, that's enough." She cut him off, "If you know all that, then why do you always try to talk to me?""Cos I wanna be your friend? Or someone that at least says hi?"Her straight face fell immediately, "You feel bad for me. You pity me." He straightened up, "No, no. That's not it.""Yeah, sure." She looked down at her food with the same pity in her eyes, picked up the tray and stood to leave."Yo, wait. That's not wh

Stop getting distracted Isa!!"When Mr. Mark called you by your full name on the day we met?" He tilted his head as he looked at her with an amused grin.Eyes were watching them. Some glanced. Some stared. Some glared. While some stared with so much love in their eyes.Ofcourse, the glares were directed at her and the love at him. She could feel the holes it created on her face and body. Especially her face."And... And you remembered? After hearing it once?" If she was any other girl than herself, she'd be screaming both internally and externally. But she was Isabella Davies. The school's dork."I think it was twice?" His head was still slightly tilted sideways and the annoyingly beautiful grin was still in place."Twice?" She tried to recall when next that happened."You know I said 'Hi' yesterday. I'm guessing you don't recall that too, right?"What? He did? Oh my God, this is so freaking embarrassing!"Why are you talking to me?""Huh?" "You suddenly decided to talk to me. Out of

He's a bastard. That's all there is to it.She had finally been freed from that dark dungeon called an interrogating room. It felt like she was being dragged into a dark vortex-'Ugh! What kind of human is this?' She could tell Daimen had just slapped a hand on his face while shaking his head.Uhm, who are you to complain? You're in my head. My privacy! If you're not comfortable or I seem weird enough, just L.E.A.V.E! Leave!She spelt the last word slowly in exasperation.'You talk too much in your head.'Again, if you feel uncomfortable, leave. Please.Just as she walked out of the room, she saw Chloe standing at a corner with her parents holding her protectively. Mrs. Taylor and Mr. Mark were there as well. But her-... No, she must be mistaken. They must be around somewhere, right?She walked up to them. Immediately they saw her coming, they all focused on her. Mrs. Taylor held her immediately she was close."Are you okay, Isabella? Are they done with the questioning?" She asked h

What would the world think of me? Not like I care though. They already-"Ms. Davies?"-think I'm a crazy bitch. They'd be happy I-"Ms. Davies?!"-died. I'm sure nobody would attend my funer-"Ms. Davies!!!" She jumped from the abrupt bang on the table in front her. Table in front of her...? When did... How did she end up in front of a table?Cole sighed for the umpteenth time, "Ms Davies? Can you look up?"She slowly rose her head and surprisingly she was in a dimly lit room - actually there was no light except for the white light bulb hanging over the big looking table - with two men across her. One sitting, the other standing behind him in the shadows. They were the cops that came to the school. And also the table.Why does it feel like she's in an interrogating room?"Can you... hear me?" The man sitting across her spoke again while doing some hand gestures. Does he think she's deaf or something?"Ofcourse I can hear you." The man breathed out and smiled at her like she just mad

"Well," Tammy, the curious girl, turned towards him, "...how do we know if you're not a kidnapper or a serial killer who just followed this REAL OFFICER HERE who had shown us his ID just to kidnap or kill one of us, if not all." She pointed at Cole before crossing her arms on her chest as she looked up at the young looking officer. Seriously, how old is this beauty?Shawn, on the other hand was looking at her like she suddenly grew hideous horns on her head and uncountable lips on her face. Like, how did she do that? More than twenty words in a sentence!He just quietly brought out his ID in silence after her mini outburst and stretched his hand out, the ID being held between his fingers. The words, 'if I were a serial killer, he wouldn't have called me his assistant.' could be read from his expression."Okay, we're cool. You can take her." The boy who had spoken earlier, shrugged and looked away from them. Others doing the same, leaving only most of the girls still looking at them.

"I... err... what?!" Chloe couldn't even form a single sense in what just happened. It was like a flash in her eyes.One minute, they were questioning Isabella and she was just there to give her account as a witness and then... Boom! She becomes a suspect! "You were the first person to see her in that state, were you not?" Isa was so calm and collected like she wasn't the one being questioned earlier."No... Yes? I don't know! Immediately you came out, I went in and saw her like that!" She was losing her cool. She was panicking. She didn't do anything wrong here so why was she been questioned?"Mr. Collins, Mr. Mark, I didn't do anything wrong here. Why am I being questioned?""No one said you did anything wrong here. We're just placing the odds." Both the principal and teacher turned their heads to Isa in surprise. It was like she wasn't the one talking. Truly, where did this side of her come from?"Enough! We-" The principal was cut off by the knock on the door."Yes?"Mrs Taylor

Her eyes. They looked... dead! Her whole body looked dead too - on the inside.She had been partially dead internally so she would know when someone looked like that."Isabella." She called out her name for the first time but her voice was void of any emotions. What happened to her? Not like she wasn't always like this, but this... this was way worse."Was it your fault?" Huh? Why was she asking her a question out of the blue?"What was my fault?""Him not showing up again." Him? Who's him?"I... don't understand."She smiled even more, "Ofcourse you do. You left before I did. Who knew? Maybe he came here looking for me and thought I was you."Okay, what?! Who came looking for who and thought who was who?"Miss Kate, I don't understand what you're saying right now." "Why wouldn't you? You and I were the only females left in the school grounds yesterday.""We don't know that. You don't know that." Wait, why was she trying to defend herself again? Oh right, the 'him'.Miss Kate stood u

"I'm up for it." A certain cool voice spoke beside her. "Romeo's role. I would love to try it out."Sorry, he said what?!"That is wonderful!" Mrs Taylor almost jumped in excitement, "Well then, now we have our main leads already so every other person can choose theirs."A ringing sound blared in her head. She would play Juliet and this... dude would play Romeo. That would make them... lo-... lovers!'Isabella. This is your second warning. If this happens again, you might not be able to hear his voice again, nor will you talk back to him talk less of seeing him.' She remembered Kim's words earlier and stood up abruptly, "No!"All heads turned to her, "Mn?" Mrs Taylor couldn't quite understand the reason for the abruptness."I can't do it." She shook her head along with her words."Do what?""The role. I... I can't do it.""Isabella. I'm not asking you to do it. I am telling you what you would do." Mrs Taylor's reply was as firm and solid as the fist of a baby."But I won't be availabl
