I Saw You CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO: Selfish and Selfless
The car stopped in front of a huge white house, the Harrison’s. Nothing has changed. It still looked sinister from the outside but the aura of lost souls increased. The man in the garden, the woman in the window, the kids on the terrace, and the old man at the racking chair were all still there. “I’ll be the one to pick you up. Call me anytime, Serra.” He handed me a box. I accepted and opened it. It was a newly released brand new phone. “Amanda’s number and mine are there,” he said. I nodded and went out of the car. “Thank you for this.” I raised the box. “And for the ride too.” “No need to thank me, Serra. You are my daughter.” His expression remained the same, flinty. I nodded again and closed the door. I waved as he drove away. My lips automatically curved a smile. My daughter, two words but were enough to make me happy. What Amanda told me about his father, our father, was different from what I see. She said that they have a little time together, that they rarely eat together

“It’s time to leave.” A man in black coat suddenly appeared in front of the room’s door. “Xyrus...” She stretched out her hand to her grandson. “Yes, grandma?” He swiftly took her hand and sat on the bed beside her. “Take care of yourself. Stick with Serra. She’s your only hope.” She grabbed my hand and put it together with Xyrus’. He was confused but looked away with reddened face. Grandama’s grip in our hands loosened. She already closed her eyes. Her soul went out of her body. She looked at Xyrus then at me. She was leaving her grandson to me. The reaper sliced in the air with his scythe and a line of light followed creating a door to the other side. She glanced back at us one last time before crossing over. “Rest well, grandma.” Xyrus lend over and kissed his grandma’s forehead. The ghosts inside the mansion started leaving through the wall, window, ceiling, floor, anywhere. I felt different emotions from them but one thing was the same, fear. “Why are they leaving?” I asked

“I swear! I don’t know.” Xyrus raised his hand for the nth time when I glared at him again. The boy was still shivering. I grabbed a thick cloth in the cabinet and covered the boy but was useless. My left brow rose when his tremble slowed. I averted my gaze at the little girl beside me. She was looking at the little boy. She extended her hand to his direction trying to reach him. My hand moved as if it has a mind of its own and grabbed the little girl’s hand. Her hand was warm despite her being a lost soul. I gasped jerking my hands off her. I-I just touched a ghost! I walked backwards while staring at my hands. How was that even possible? “H-Hey...” Xyrus grabbed my shoulders and hid behind me. My lips distorted in disbelief. What a scaredy-cat. I returned my sight to the girl and she was looking at me. Her lips parted as though time slowed down. She was mumbling something but all I heard was gargling sound. I narrowed my eyes and focused on her lips. “H-Help...” she uttered a

SERRA During the weekends, I stayed at the mansion and on the dorm at weekdays. The cafe was temporarily closed because of Grandma’s funeral. I’ve talked to Dad that I will continue to work at the cafe. The cafe needs me at this crucial time since Grandma is gone and Xyrus didn’t really know how to handle a business. “Preston Grey?” our teacher called. I glanced at the seat on my right and it was empty. “Absent again?” A week had passed since the last time we saw each other. It was at the reapers’ den. Seeing someone’s death happen before the actual event is amazing. Having the power to save other souls is great. The only burden was when you see two deaths at a time and you have to choose. Choosing means you get to decide who deserves to die and who deserves to live. I am just a sealer and I don’t know why the heavens granted me such a beautiful burden. What I am scared the most is the time when I have to choose between persons I love, persons that are important to me. Choosing be

“I... killed you,” I repeated looking at him. He hissed with eyes unbelievably staring at me. “Are you really going that far just to drive me away?” I shook my head shutting my eyes firmly and yelled. “I... I killed you!” He stretched his arm to hold both of my shoulders. “Okay... calm down, Serra–” “Don’t touch me!” I shove his hand away. What I did made the both of us froze. Seeing his eyes that were in pain pinched my heart. I want to grab unto him to make up with what I did, but I couldn’t bring myself to do so. I lifted my hand multiple times to reach for him but those times ended the same way, I hesitated and lowered my hand. I curled my fingers into fists and hid them behind me. I tightened my fist. I was still shivering. I lowered my face, closed my eyes and gritted my teeth. I’m afraid. I am more frightened right now than the times I risked my life. I might end up doing the same thing in my vision. I am scared of the possibility of hurting him, putting an end to his exis

A long creak whispered in my ears. I groaned and covered my ears with a pillow. I turned to the edge of the bed facing the cabinet. The creak kept on slipping through the pillow and annoyed my ears. I slightly opened my eyes. Half awake, I witnessed the wardrobe’s door slowly cracked open on its own until it swung wide to the sides. A pair of hand stretched out from the inside and was followed by a long messy hair touching the floor. My throat ran dry. My fear awakened me. Slowly, a lady in red crawled out with her face covered with her messy hair. She finally got out of the furniture on her knees and with palms pressed against the tile floor. I cautiously covered my mouth with both hands not making any noise. I gasped when she snappily tilted her head in my direction. She crawled fast in my direction. I got up on my butt and kicked on my bed squeezing myself against the headboard. I clutched my chest and chased after my breath. I hesitantly peeked over the bed and saw nothing. I too

“She’s the self proclaimed medius, right?” “She threatened Dorothy, the popular UTube sensation.” “I really have a hunch that she is behind the killings in the university.” “SU will never be in peace if she’s around.” “She’s being bashed in the comment section on Dorothy’s latest video.” I just continued walking, passing the dorm’s lobby. I wasn’t born dumbed not to realize that they were talking about me. I lifted my chin high despite the rumors going around. When I got out of the dorm building, I flinched, something cracked on my head and a slimy and sticky substance dripped down my face. “Murderer!” A student shouted after throwing raw egg at me. They all laughed with my misery. The group of students waited for me. They were here for me. They gathered in front of the dorm just for me and their population is approximately half of the university’s population. They have banners with them with the picture of my face painted with huge red X. A huge tarpaulin of me was even display

“Where is Gugu?” Amara asked out of the blue that caught me off guard. We are currently having a break here in the cafeteria with Mandy. Everyone’s glaring eyes in the cafeteria were directed to us. We just comfortably ate. After what Amanda did to the students in front of the dorm, they hated us more but couldn’t touch even a strand of our hair. The entire school has no match for the governor’s daughter. “Serra...” Amara reached for my hand that was on the table. “Did she cross over? Tell me.” Her eyes watered. I nodded as a response. “She was latching on you because she knew that the baby in your womb will be in danger. She didn’t want to happen the same thing to you that caused her death. She offered her soul to protect the life in your womb. The process weakened her vitality so she had to cross over,” I explained further. Her eyes teared up more. “I haven’t even get to say goodbye.” She placed her hand on her womb cherishing the fruit of her love and Bruce’s. “What happened to

I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY-TWO: Mirror
SERRA “Dad,” I called him.It has been days yet he was still sad and listless.“What can do for yoy, sweetheart?” He forced a smile but the sadness in his eyes was visible.“I-I want to ask you about someone.” I lowered my head.“Come here.” He tapped the space beside him. I obliged and sat next to him. “About who?” he asked.“About my mom,” I stuttered.Hearing the last word he was grief-stricken. I felt bad asking about it.“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t feel like it, dad,” I sincerely said.He shook his. “It’s about time.” He smiled genuinely. “What do you want to know about her?”“What does she look like?” I asked even though I already knew.He moved away and pulled something out of the drawer of his bedside table. He gave me a round object. It was metal-like and silver in color with gold Vines and red roses all over.“Open it,” he told me after handing it over.I ran my thumb tracing the vine and pulled the top part upward. I saw myself, my reflection.“You’re a carbon
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY-ONE: Shadow
The moment the water swallowed me I held my breath. There’s no way I’m letting the cold enter me. I looked up but it’s all water above me. My hair floats over my head like seaweeds. In the rashness of the moment, I began flinging my arms out.I expect to come back out and I did. I gasped for air before sinking again. I kicked my legs and flapped my arms and I was back to the surface again. But each chance to breathe became further apart. Each breath was less than the last.I tried once more. The more I struggle the more disoriented I became. I felt like I’m trashing inside an invisible prison. My first instinct was to get some air but there should be something else. I couldn’t fight for air forever. I need to find a way out.I pushed with my legs and arms and when I was able to bob my head out of the water, I breath as deep as I could. The water pulled me again. I looked around and saw a wall. The fear I felt was overlain by hope. I flicked my feet and tried to reach the walk. It was
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY-ONE: That Thing
“No... That couldn’t be.” Kate staggered backward. “It should be there. I should be there,” she repeatedly uttered pulling her hair.I run towards her. “Don’t worry, Kate. We are going to find Lulu’s body.” I assured her and patted her shoulder.She yanked her shoulder away from my grasp and took a few steps backwards. She kept on pulling her hair and her eyes were restless. She didn’t know where to focus them.“W-What if that thing took it? W-What if that thing swallowed it?” Her breathing turned shallow and fast. She punched her head with boths hands wandering with little steps. She’s mentally unstable. I walked near her and caught her hands stopping her from hitting herself.“Stop it, Kate. You’re hurting yourself,” I told her.She already suffered enough. I couldn’t bear watching her like this.“That thing swallowed Lulu whole!” she squealed oogling her eyes at me.I grabbed her cheeks and made her look at me. “What thing, Kate? What thing?”After a moment of touching her face m

“I am sorry for ignoring you, guys.” Kate lowered her head. “I was just scared of Lulu. I’ve known her for years and I didn’t know she was capable of any of that. I know she won’t hurt any of you though. She was just after me.” Her voice cracked. I moved closer to her and rubbed her back. Comforting her is the only thing I could do for her right now. “Nothing of that is your fault, Kate. Monsters are made. Envy made Lulu into one.” I pulled her making her lean into me as she sobs. “But she is still the Lulu that we know. She’s a beautiful flower,” I added. She lifted her eyes to meet mine. “Will she become a flower forever? Are we going to meet her, the real her?” “No.” I shook my head. “In the next life I could be an animal or a plant or I could be in your body and you could be in mine. It depends on the decisions we make at this lifetime. That doesn’t mean we aren’t real. The real us is not our flesh but our soul.” I wiped her tears away. She nodded and smile. She leaned against
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY: Free
I dropped my phone after hearing what she said. I hastely went back to the elevator and ran again toward the gym. It was passed two in the afternoon already. “Serra, here!” Mandy waved her hand at me. I ran in thier direction. I gasped for air. “Where is Amanda?” “Amara called and they were together at the moment. What’s going on?” She looked both worried and confused. I looked at Lulu’s direction and Mandy already got what I meant. “Lulu!” I approached her. She turned around and faced me. She was wearing an ice-cold expression, far from the Lulu that I knew. Something was really not right here. I saw Kate died but her name wasn’t carved at the black scroll. I shook the doubt in my mind and focused to the present. “Lulu, grab my hand and get out of the body.” I lend my hand to her but just like before she just stared down my hand. “Yes, Lulu. Do it. Trust her,” Mandy encouraged. She looked at me and smiled. I was relieved to see her smile but my heart started to race pushing m
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY: Mourn
“Are you sure about that?” Grip asked. “Yes, bring me back to the mansion. I chose to front my fear.” I firmly said. He nodded and smiled. He was proud. He grabbed my waist and pulled me nigh him. Lulu’s and Dorothy’s name was already written on the scroll of death and today was the thirteenth day from Xyrus’ supposed to be death. I wanted to save them, to do that I need to watch dad’s every move. I was not certain if my plan would work but I have to try at least. “Grip, something’s off–” I turned around but he wasn’t here anymore. “Grip?” I sighed and just walked the long way toward the mansion. He was vanishing from my sight very often this days. It was a sign that he would leave and cross to the other side very soon. As I walk the garden I came across with bronze maids. They would avoid taking the same way as I do. They would even avoid staring in my eyes. I stared at the huge closed door before me. Just by thinking of going inside gave me goosebumps. I took a deep breath. I p
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY: Sword of Hustling Wind
Fear enveloped me when I arrived at the mansion. Dead bodies of maids were lying everywhere in the front yard. The metallic scent of blood was giving me a feeling of gagging. I looked around hoping that I could find someone breathing but I was too late. Some were beheaded, some were stabbed multiple times, and chopped like a piece of meat. “Ahh!” I snapped my head in the mansion’s direction. I knew that scream and it was coming from the mansion. I ran and ran. Ran as fast as I could. I pushed the mansion’s door wide open. In front of me was dad wearing his usual coldness. In front of him stood Amanda. She was dressed like the lady in red. I saw no emotion in her eyes. Dad placed his hand on her shoulder and whispered to her, “say hi to your sister.” Amanda slowly raised her hand and waved at me like a puppet. “Hi...” Dad’s lips twitched. He didn’t like what Amanda did. His fingers turned black and grew long. Digging its sharpness in her shoulder. “Do it with a smile.” He gritted h
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY: Previous Life
“Why did we stop?” I poked my head out of my carriage’s window. “A man dropped in the middle of the road, madame,” the coachman responded. I rose from my seat but a man stopped me by grabbing my arm. His face was a bit blurry but the longer I stare the much clearer his face become. My brows furrowed to see Xyrus who was wearing a weird looking clothes from the past. The breeches were long and fairly full in cut, reaching just below the knee. The doublet has a high waist at the sides and back, extending to a point in front. A deliberate opening of the seam on each sleeve allows the fine linen shirt underneath to be seen. He completed his attire with a cape that spans almost a full circle. I looked at myself. I was wearing a deep brown gown with a low rounded neckline and a small ruff paired with a winged collar. The tight sleeves have pronounced shoulder wings and deep lace cuffs. It has a matching petticoat pinned into flounces on a drum or cartwheel farthingale. I looked at him an

“D-Dad?” I whispered. He did not answer. I brought my phone out and opened my flashlight. I directed the light to his face. “Grip? What are you doing here?” He lended me his hand and pulled me up on my feet. “I should be the one asking you that. What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Are you seriously sneaking?” He made me turn my back at him and wiped the dust off my pajamas. “Yes, I am. So will you lower your voice now?” I scolded him in a whispering manner. “Do you think you won’t get caught? Maybe you passed through the elderlies but how about that?” He grabbed my hand and directed my phone’s light to the ceiling. I felt like my effort went to nothing to see the CCTV camera blinking red taunting me. I face-palmed. “You are lucky because you have a handsome boyfriend to the rescue.” He winked at me. “What did you do?” I narrowed my eyes at him. “Don’t looked at me like that. I just saved you from trouble. I moved the camera to somewhere that wouldn’t caught you.”
