The sky glistened in its uniqueness as I walked out of my bathroom with a scowl on my face.
It's nighttime and I've been trying to get some sleep after a hectic day but it tended to feel like I'm wasting my time. It felt like a force kept disrupting my sleep and it's been freaking me out.
It also felt like someone was watching me and yet I don't see anyone, that alone creeped me out and my head began slamming heavily.
My cool body felt so hot immediately I laid my head on my bed that after tossing for several hours I decided to go bath cause I felt perhaps, it is because my body is filled with sweat and that's why I'm currently walking out of my bathroom now cause I'm done bathing.
Getting to my wardrobe, I picked out a pair of shorts and got dressed then retired to bed.
I shut my eyes hoping to be taken by sleep this time around but it never came. I kept tossing and felt so uneasy. My headache increased drastically and I couldn't help but groan out in pain.
While still tossing and groaning in pain, I started feeling heaviness down my loins but didn't want to stand up cause I was so tired.
It got worse, and I had no other option than to grab my lazy self up and go use the toilet.
As I stood up, I didn't feel like using the toilet inside my room because of how broken it was. That's all thanks to my plumber who wasn't taking my calls.
I had managed to bathe in my bathroom because that was still a bit ok but my WC pipe is broken. And using it is merely like pouring the urine you want to pass out on the floor so I went outside, feeling so pleased with the cool natural air blowing on my flawless shiny skin.
Yeah, I'm your definite male model spec. Tall, deep brown eyes, muscled biceps, not-so-fair skin, and mesmerizing pink lips. People often ask if I'm human due to my beauty but I just ignore them because it's dumb for me to answer such a question.
I already freed my heavy weighted dick and was about to relieve myself when I glanced around just to admire the trees which were hovering around but my eyes widened to the utmost degree at the sight I saw instead.
Sitting on a stone at the far end of my house was a gorgeous lady clad in a short skimpy gown. Her skin glowed under the moon and was one with it.
She had a charming smile playing on her lips and just a stare got me lost in it.
'Why is she smiling? I need to know and at least say hello.' Having decided that, I restored my dick to its place and moved closer to her.
"Hey, beautiful" I whispered in all smiles when I got close to her and ruffled my hair.
She turned to me with her jaws hanging open and looked around her as if looking for something that I had to raise my brows at her.
"Hello?"
"You are talking to me?" She asked pointing at herself and her eyes bulged out.
"Is there anyone else here?" I snapped and glared at her.
"You can see me?"
Now, that question is freaking me out and at the same time getting me pissed. How can she be asking me such a damn question? I stamped my feet and was about to bark at her but on second thought decided to take it easy. She's just so beautiful and fucking attractive.
"Yes, why do you ask such a question?" I asked gaping at her while rubbing my jaw.
"Can you really see me?" She rubbed her eyes and ears and stared around once more before turning to me and a great wind began hovering around her. Her eyes and body began glowing and my head suddenly felt so heavy.
"Ahh!" I wailed out in pain clenching my head as it kept spinning immensely.
She suddenly stood up and began striding towards me with an evil grin plastered on her face but staring down I realized she wasn't walking but was floating in the air.
My breath hitched and hot beads of sweat appeared on my forehead as goosebumps rocked all over me. The hairs on my body all jerked up and I tried to run but couldn't.
She laughed and she kept floating to me.
Tears trickled down my cheeks and I rubbed my eyes and shut them tightly waiting for whatever she wanted to do but it never came.
I gently opened my eyes after a while to see her sitting where she sat so calmly and I was still standing where I was. Did I just imagine things? But it felt so real. I touched my skin and it was all dry and my head wasn't heavy. Rubbing my chest, I breathed out and just then she glanced at me.
"I've been waiting for your reply. You're serious about seeing me?" She asked.
"Why are you behaving weirdly?" I implored, ignoring her question cause as I said, I don't answer dumb questions. "Or perhaps are you just trying to push me off by pulling such a stunt?"
She glanced at me with the cutest eyes I've ever seen and stared away without saying anything. I kept waiting for a reply but when it was obvious she wasn't gonna talk, I turned and was about to walk out but she suddenly cleared her throat and I turned back to her.
"You wanna say anything?"
"Sit."
I stared at her for a while still terrified about what I had imagined earlier and gently stared at her legs. I shrugged off and exhaled seeing that her legs were firmly placed on the ground and sat down on the little rock beside her still admiring her beauty.
Gosh! She's just so freakishly beautiful.
I couldn't say a word cause I didn't know what to say and she didn't too which made great silence dawn on us.
But even in the silence, she kept smiling and picking on her fingers that being so curious to know the secret behind her smiles I cleared my throat and she glanced at me. "You've been smiling, do you mind sharing why you're smiling with me?"
"Ok," she responded smoothly. "But first of all, what's your name?"
"I'm Prince but my fans call me Ghostwriter."
"You're a writer?" She asked and stared at me in all smiles and I couldn't help but ogle.
"Yes, I am," I answered after getting back myself and secretly parted my dick which kept jigging in my shorts.
An expression flashed in her eyes and she mumbled some incoherent words I couldn't quite grab.
"Any problem?" I curled up my brows at her.
She shook her head and tousled her long silky hair. "You asked why I'm smiling right?"
"Yea." I groaned.
"I'll tell you."
I relaxed, cleaned off my ears for the gist, and smiled. "I'm listening."
"By this same time a month ago, under a full moon just like this I and my lover were on a picnic."
"In the middle of the night?" I implored, wide-eyed, interrupting her.
She smiled. "I've always loved the full moon and made Chris my lover accept for us to go on a picnic on any night there will be a full moon, close to a beach."
"That's weird though. Why not day? And why on a full moon? What's so special about it that you were so bent on it?"
"I just love full moons. I love how the moon glows and I also love the peace of the night."
"Hmm, continue, please. I'm so curious."
She chuckled, swatted my arm, and cleared her throat. "The picnic was going on so well and with the cool air brushing on our skins, we made sweet love. The best I've ever had, it was the best feeling, but in between our hot romance after the first sex, Chris suddenly went down on a knee and brought out a diamond ring."
"That's so sweet" I smiled. "Go on."
"'Dear Isabella, the love of my life. With you I found peace. I'll wanna live and die in your arms. Will you be my wife?' He asked. Chris has always been a guy of little words and I knew it must have taken him a lot to say those words. I was sobbing already."
"Tears of joy right?" I inquired.
"No" She replied icily, peeking at me.
A cold shiver ran down my spine and I glanced at her with raised brows. "Why then were you sobbing?"
There was silence to the extent I thought she wasn't going to answer. So I stared away thinking perhaps she was shy.
"Because that was the moment I was meant to die and that was the moment I died."
At first, what she said didn't dawn on me but when everything began flowing in, my eyes widened and a jabbing shock coursed through me down to my bone marrow. "When you what?" I asked, my breaths intensifying but she was no longer there, only her gown was on the stone.
I screamed and ran inside, my body full of sweat, and my head felt like it wanted to fall off. Right there I swore never to come outside to pee again. Gosh! I can't just believe she was a ghost! I can't stop shivering.
My blood keeps boiling in waves. I'm such a mess of myself right now!
***
After my encounter with the lady ghost, I couldn't stop thinking about what killed her.
But yet couldn't gather the courage to step out at night not knowing she had other plans installed for me.
On an awfully heated afternoon, I came back from school so tired and slept off immediately my head landed on my bed, but in between my sleep, I felt a hand stroking my hair so sweetly.
I enjoyed the touch so much but in a split second remembered that I'm the only one at home and my door was locked.
I stood up abruptly in a panic to gape at the figure beside me on my bed and my jaw dropped. Sitting down comfortably on my bed was the moon lady.
I became light-headed and with a scream, landed on the floor with a loud thud, feeling so much pain coursing through me.
"What do you want?" I whimpered.
"I'm sorry for what just happened. Please, Ghostwriter, I need your help."
"What!" My heartbeat hastened.
"Please calm down. I know you must have questions about what killed me and how I knew I was gonna die."
"Please leave me alone," I retorted, pulling the sheet to cover myself.
She came closer to where I lay and touched my hair and all the pains I was feeling vanished.
"Thanks," I unconsciously mumbled, feeling so relieved. Gosh, how did she know I was almost dying of pain?
She chuckled. The most charming smile I've ever seen in my life and with a very low and sweet voice, she said. "Chris sit down."
I looked at her, my eyes widening to the last degree and my heart flew into my belly.
"Don't forget I'm a ghost. I know everything about you," she said as if reading my thoughts.
"Who are you and what is your name?" I inquired with the little courage left in me.
"My name is Isabella and this is my story and what led to my death."
"Why do you want to tell me?" I sighed. "Shouldn't you be resting? And why bring me into your earthly life then?" I gawked at her.
"Because you're a special being and a bridge between the ghost kingdom and human kingdom. That is the mere reason you can see and converse with me and you alone can help me. My soul needs peace so I can rest." I didn't know what she meant by that but whatever it was already piqued my interest. "I'm listening" I whispered, taking a deep breath. "Are sure you're ready?" "Yes, I am ready," I replied. "I've always known I was gonna die that day because I was a gift to my mum from a Goddess, though only I knew about this as I couldn't share such a thing with my mum knowing I'm an only child." "But why were you gifted to her by a Goddess?" "Because mum begged for a child from the Goddess of the sea but what she never knew was that I wasn't gonna live long and I'll be taken away." I was silent for a while thinking of the possibility of such and then I asked her. "Where then do I come in?" "Before then I'll love to make you understand something," she mumbled, her eyes boring into mine
"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 lo
Immediately I found myself back in my room and Isabella also appeared. "Isabella" I whispered and for the first time smiled up at her. "Holla Chris. I never knew you were this brave. But that doesn't stop the fact that your life is in danger." "You must have seen everything I guess." "I did and you can just let me be. You can just forget about me because I can't let you die because of me." She lowered her head and shrugged off. Staring at her melted my heart and I strolled toward her. "I can't let you be this way, Isabella. I'll do whatever it takes to make you have rest. Let's leave the Goddess's words and worry about how to get to your guy. This is my fight now. And I promise you that I'll never give up till I conquer." "Chris the sea Goddess has powers and she will do all it takes to see you don't survive." "Then allow me to worry about that Isabella. If I die, I die a hero but I'm never going down without a fight. I am ready. Are you ready?" "I never knew such caring and br
The driver managed to stop the car but there was no how he could come down to fix the tire. I coughed out hoping to get back myself but instead, it worsened. It felt like a force was restricting my airflow. "Isabella I'm dying" I whimpered, rubbing my nose. "I can't breathe. I can't breathe!" But then a force I don't know how to explain took over me even before she could say anything and I ran out in the rain and uttered in a commanding tone; "My name is Prince Christopher a special being who sees both flesh and spirit, I am the bridge between ghost kingdom and human kingdom and I believe I got some powers so I command thou spirit from the Goddess to Leave now!" Instantly it left. That was the very first time I believed in that adage that says; 'There is power in a spoken word.' But then again, it was still raining and we had to wait for the rain to stop before changing the tire. After which, we took off again. * We arrived at Lagos at exactly 6 pm after all the fights and I co
"For a moment then, I thought you walked up to my door just to die. Yea, I thought you were dead. But that's past tense anyway, I hope you are ok and what's your name since you already know mine?" "I'm fine Chris and my name is Prince Christopher." "It's nice to meet you, namesake." He smiled. "We need to hurry because we will take a short boat to the beach and grab some more clothes so you don't catch a cold." "I'm not a lady buddy. Stop with the romantic words and gestures." He chuckled and patted me on the shoulder and Isabella winked at me. "What's the name of the beach Allen?" I asked ignoring Isabella. "Kamp Ikaare Beach Resort" he retorted and off we went to his car. "What about shovels Allen?" I asked as we were about to enter the car. "I hid those pieces of stuff there. What we will use to wrap her body is there also, let's just hope soil animals haven't eaten what I wrapped her body with and start feeding on it." "Let's hope so then" I replied and we entered and zoom
"Show yourself, you coward! I hate beings who are afraid to show themselves and where the fuck am I?!" I thundered at him. "You're in the dream world. And tonight you will fight against yourself." The voice laughed and a figure appeared. My jaw slacked as I stared shockingly at him with wide eyes. Standing before me is a replica of me. It was mere like I was staring at myself. "How is this possible? How can you look exactly like me?" I asked rubbing my eyes to be sure I was seeing right and I sure was! "Because I am you. I am your dark side and this is a dream being played in your head. Whatever happens here, happens in the earthly realm. If you die here you will be dead in the earthly realm but if you survive then you will wake up in the earthly realm too but I doubt you will. You will have to fight me to die or survive," he whispered grinning. "I have no time for this. I am on a mission and time is not on my side. Let me go." "You will have to fight for your freedom my able sel
"IF WE TAKE HER BODY WITHOUT THE NORMAL RIGHTS DONE, SHE WILL BE BANNED FOREVER. HER SPIRIT WILL ROAM THE FACE OF THE EARTH FOR ETERNITY LEAVING HIM VULNERABLE TO US TO TAKE HIS LIFE BECAUSE HE FAILED HIS QUEST. WE WILL WIN IN BOTH WAYS." "GO NOW AND LET IT BE DONE," the Goddess commanded and they vanished. The light disappeared too. My body was soaked in heat by the time the light disappeared and I lowered my head. "Help me heavenly being. This is not just my fight alone," I prayed silently and rushed to Chris who was still sleeping soundly. "Wake up buddy." I tapped him. "We need to leave now. Our lives and that of Isabella are in danger. We need to take her body away from here now." He woke up the moment I mentioned Isabella and we rushed out carrying our bags. Luckily for us, we packed before sleeping. We were about to enter the car Isabella's body was placed in when they appeared. Yes, the three mermaid Princesses. I saw an expression I could term shock cross their faces an
"How would I have told you that Isabella died in my arms? You will think I killed her, I was afraid of that." "So you hid such information from me!" She barked, her eyes glaring daggers at him. "You need to be arrested." "Mum, please it hasn't gotten to that," I replied instead. "Please we got a more pressing need at hand." "I'll get this young man here arrested before that," she said and was about to go out but I flared up. "OK! Go ahead and call the police since that is what you feel is the pressing need now! Your daughter needs rest and we got only tomorrow left and you're threatening someone. For your information, I'm a military student from Nasme barracks in Makurdi, Benue state. Even if police officers of 10 police stations and their DPO come here they won't lay a finger on him. Do you even know all we've suffered to get here?!" I growled furiously. "Chris let's go please," I added, already walking out. I feel so pissed. Could have punched her so hard if she happened to be a
