HELP ME

"I thought I had annihilated my feelings for him but instead, it overwhelmed me. In seconds we were already hugging so tight. And after reluctantly disengaging, he stared at me and whispered; 'can I kiss you, please.'

"I hid my face in embarrassment, flushing deep shades of red, and mumbled a low yes to him and we shared a passionate kiss.

"At that instant, I realized how much I wanted him and how deeply I loved him. In the presence of the sea, I accepted to be his girl.

"That night I had my second visitation. I was in the world of dreams and got shown the future and how I was gonna die. And then a voice let out; 'ON A CERTAIN DAY, ON A FULL MOON JUST AS YOU SAW IN YOUR DREAM, HE WILL PROPOSE TO YOU AND ONCE YOU ACCEPT, THAT WILL BE YOUR LAST MOMENTS IN THE EARTHLY REALM.'

"I guess this answers your question of how I knew I was gonna die. You must also have a question about why I was all smiling while I died such a horrible death. I was all smiles because I spent my last days in love."

Already running out of patience, I stamped my foot and glared at her. "I'm not gonna ask this question again, Isabella. Where do I come in? What do you need my help for?"

"I need your help with so many things, Chris."

I wiped my ears to be sure I heard correctly and turned to her. "What did you just say?"

"Chris, the sacred rights needed to be performed on my body haven't been done and I can't be buried the way mortals are buried. My boyfriend buried my body in that same ground we made love out of fear."

"What!" I shrieked and clenched my fist. "How can he do such a thing? Thought he loved you. Are you trying to say your mum doesn't know you're dead?"

A tear dropped from her eye at my question and the lights in the room went off.

I closed my eyes in fright, my body already shivering but then the light coming from her body lighted the whole room.

"Isabella, you're making me scared." I sighed.

"I'll never hurt you," she said. "This is where you come in Chris. You need to get to my boyfriend and do all it takes to make him dig out my body from that ground, it needs to be done quickly because my time is almost up, and if it's not done before my time elapses, my spirit will never find peace and will keep roaming the earth."

"But I got no money on me and I don't even know him and how I can locate him."

"I'll lead you to him, Chris."

"Nope, you won't do such! You want people to think me mad?"

"Please, Chris. You're my only hope. Only you can save me because you alone can see me."

"I can't go around telling someone I saw his dead girlfriend. No, I can't. And I don't fucking care how you died. After all, it was out of your stubbornness."

A spank landed on my cheek and I dropped anchor on the ground, spitting out blood.

"You just... slap..p..ped me Isabella?" I stared up to look at her with my hands on my cheek as tears dropped from my eyes down my cheeks.

"I am so sorry, Chris. You pushed me to. I'm really sor–"

"LEAVE!" I shrieked, interrupting her.

"But I'm–"

"LEAVE! I don't ever want to see you again!"

"Chris, I really need your help."

"Please leave right now Isabella. Leave before I lose my mind. I might be mortal but I want you to know I do drastic things when angry both physically and spiritually. Please get away from me! Get the fuck out!"

She stiffened at my last statement and vanished.

I laid back on my bed, my bedsheets soaked and felt remorse for pushing her away but it's for the best anyway.

I was about to sleep off when her voice sounded; "I'll be back, Chris. Think about it, please." After which, I slept off in deep thoughts.

*

I opened my eyes not long after I slept off and saw myself before a very big sea. I stared into the sea and sitting on top of it was a lady in a coffin with so much anger visible on her face.

"Danger. Danger. Danger," she mumbled in a loud voice and disappeared.

I woke up immediately, my body trembling and sweat over me. I was so tensed and hot that I believed cold water could be turned hot immediately after it touched my body.

All night long, I was awake always shivering anytime it feels like a shadow transited and in my mind, I decided to help Isabella no matter what it takes.

The next morning, I was preparing for school when a light flashed on me and I saw myself before the sea. The same one from my dream!

"What am I doing here!" I screamed, "And who the hell had the gut to bring me here?"

Suddenly, I heard whispers.

"SO BRAVE..."

"INDEED, HE IS A SPECIAL BEING..."

"A FEARLESS ONE..."

"DANGER LURKS AROUND HIM..."

And immediately I heard a very great voice that almost tore off my eardrums and it said; "BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GODDESS OF THE SEAS."

"I do not bow down before fearful beings who are scared to reveal themselves." I barked back and didn't the slightest move.

The voices whispered more;

"WHO TRULY IS HE?"

"OF COURSE HE IS THE SPECIAL BEING.'

"THE FIRST SPECIAL BEING TO TALK BACK AT THE QUEEN."

"SO MUCH POWER AND COURAGE FLOWS THROUGH HIM."

"What am I doing here?" I asked one more time with a lot more courage but within, my heart was pounding so hard.

More whispers resounded;

"SHE DISOBEYED ME..."

"SHE SHOULD SUFFER..."

"SHE DOESN'T DESERVE ETERNAL REST..."

"THIS IS NOT YOUR FIGHT..."

"STAY OFF!"

"You must know me so well to know that I'm very stubborn. She died for love and I'll do all it takes to make her have eternal rest."

At my statement, she appeared in all her glory, and Instantly I was surrounded by seven maidens and was forced to kneel.

"PRINCE CHRISTOPHER, THE BRIDGE BETWEEN GHOST KINGDOM AND THE EARTHLY KINGDOM, DO NOT DO ALL SHE SAYS!" She shrieked in a voice like thunder and running water.

"I am not surprised you know me Queen but I am not changing my mind."

She chuckled. "YOU MIGHT BE A SPECIAL BEING BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THE THINGS OF OUR WORLD. I AM THE ONE TO RECEIVE HER BODY BUT I WILL NEVER ALLOW YOU TO GET IT."

I lifted my face, staring deeply at her, and shouted;

"If I survive and bring her body here for the sacred rights you will accept it!"

"IF YOU SURVIVE!" She replied in a tremendous sound of maniacal laughter and they vanished.
