Cursed with a Ghost of Death 8. Intimidating
"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

After moving again, the carvings were only women and children. The men were far behind and were as still as statues. Some women were carved running back to them and some had already reached them. Those that had reached them were... were stru-... they were struck and strangled to death... by... by the men who seemed to either be their husbands, brothers or... son! Ah! Wh- Why?!She kept moving further. This time, those that were running were only the older and little children. Where... Where're their mothers?The women had become immobile just like the men had been. Like they were hypnotized to stay put or possessed by some... demon. Some children too were running back to their mothers just like the women did before. "No... don't." She shook her head as she muttered while touching the carvings like they could hear or feel her. Please, not the children. Not your children!But she could do nothing but watch the women strike and strangle them. She shook her head violently as she tried to

She could see the entrance just right ahead. Yes! In your face, sucker! Ha- Wait... The entrance... it... it doesn't... that's just it. It's a dead end. Dead end! No. No, no! In your face now, Isabella. Damn it!She had already reached the entrance which was now the exit for her and she was a few steps away from the end of the cliff. What do-... Jump. Yes, Just jump like you did before. Shut your eyes and jump! You would die whether you jump or not. Either this way or end up in the belly of a resurrected monster... Yeah, the cliff is way better.She shut her eyes as she got to the end and jumped only to land on her feet again about five seconds later. Okay, this death came way sooner than she expected. But wasn't she supposed to fall and break into pieces instead of landing on her feet like some superhero? Isn't this an interesting death experience? Or maybe she was dead and now in a magical place! Ah, that must be it.Slightly opening an eye in expectance to see some magical clouds

"Did you... go inside the main house?""...Yes." She answered hesitantly.His eyeballs moved around its lid in utter confusion. How? When...?!How did she get out? No one has ever gotten out of that house. Or... is she a ghost? Nahh, he held her up and brought her to the car. Or maybe she was lying. But why lie about something of this sort? She looked like she had no idea about this before, so...Damn, he was so confused!"Did you see or encounter anything while in there?" He decided to ask her some questions about how the inside was."Yes! Yes, I did." She said enthusiastically and was ready to start narrating her experience in there but... she couldn't."What did you see?" He asked after a few seconds of her not saying anything after she admitted she had encountered something in there.His eyes were still on the road but he would glimpse at her through the mirror every now and then, but now she looked like she was struggling to speak."Are you okay?" He asked, getting the more worr

"Gone? To where? How?""They... I presume they exploded." ...Say what now?!!!"Err... sorry, you said exploded." She attempted to correct him. He definitely made a mistake."Yes. Exploded. But we can't explain how though. It's the strangest thing we have seen so far, the fact that only his insides bursted while his external body was still just fine is shocking and bewildering." The doctor and nurse had a shocked and confused look on their faces. That was the sign for her. They weren't playing around. They weren't joking. His insides really bursted?! Is that even possible?"But... I still don't understand." She mumbled out, her brows scrunched in confusion as she looked at the doctor and nurse."We don't either. We're really sorry." The doctor patted her shoulder reassuringly, feeling bad for her.'Wait, what do you mean by, 'We don't either.'? Aren't you supposed to be the medical practitioners here? Why won't you give me an answer, huh? Why?!'Her mind was in a bit of rage as she loo

She was genuinely scared and her daughter wasn't the type to show her emotions. So now, this was oddly strange. Yes, she wanted her daughter to become more extroverted even with her expressions but still this was strange coming from her.She walked closer to Isa and when she was close enough, she held her shoulders, "Isabella, no one's in your room. Go and rest. I assure you, you're safe." And then she smiled warmly at her. Isabella felt shockingly calm. Her jittering limbs finally calmed down. When last had her mother smiled at her like that? She smiled back lightly and mouthed a 'thank you.' Celina gave a slight nod and turned back to Anna, "C'mon, let's go. We have something to talk about." She moved to Anna and pushed her up the stairs, glancing back at Isa with a light smile before disappearing at the top of the stairway. Isabella sighed deeply. Maybe her mother wasn't as bad as she thought. She sighed again after looking up the stairs and remembered what she saw. More like wh

"I thought only witches and or wizards could open it, so I went in search of them. My mind could leave the coffin as a mist of smoke or a miasmatic kind of darkness but couldn't cause any harm at all. Funny how I thought it would be easy to manipulate the mind of a witch. They weren't humans who were weak and had no powers. In fact, they knew about me, so whenever I'd come, they'd send me back."He began to pace from his right to his left. "The witches were very smart. Their older ones had told them about me and even if they weren't informed, they knew how dangerous a demon was and how manipulative one can be. So, after trying and failing to get to them for hundreds of years, I decided to divert to another solution. Humans." He paused and looked up at her."Humans are weak and powerless. The weakest of all races. One would ask what I wanted to do with a human. I wondered that myself. But it seemed I just needed someone who could say the unlocking spell and so I manipulated the minds o

He smiled knowingly, "You seem to forget that I am also a demon. Basically, half ghost, half demon, though my demon side is partially locked away, but I can still disappear and appear with or without something or someone." He was as calm as a dove. It was like he enjoyed her freaking out. She was stunned and speechless. That explains how he brought her bag along!"Stay... away from me." She came down from the bed, her hands outstretched as her defence as she moved backwards towards the bathroom, her eyes still locked on him. As soon as her back hit the bathroom's door, she turned and rushed in, leaving the demon smiling.But Daimen's smile didn't last as he stared at the bathroom's door, "Unfortunately, I can't." He muttered under his breath.She came out minutes later only to be disappointed. He was still there. Standing by the window. Why the window though?She didn't utter a word neither did he as she rushed to grab her bag and books. She was already clothed in her usual sweatshir

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
Cursed with a Ghost of Death 23. What had he seen?
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
Cursed with a Ghost of Death 19. Witness
"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
