Using the train was really convenient. Since we were not hindered by the crowd and we can switch buses even it was crowded and full, we arrived at the school in less than three hours.
"Seems like you are rich. You can afford this kind of school." Lucas commented. He was standing at my side and he seemed excited to meet the person that I was suspecting that could see the dead.
"Well, I don't know anything about myself. But maybe
"You are really mocking me! Girls, this freak doesn't know her place." The curly-haired girl shouted in her shrill voice.Jia stiffened and looked up to defend herself. But when she saw me making a funny face and shoving it to the bullies, she stifled a laugh instead."Pfft-" She covered her mouth to stop her laugh.
The bell rang loudly. The students cheered up and prepared to head out.Jia Wales stood up with a stiff expression. Her short hair that barely reached her shoulder followed her movements. Her fringe hid her scowl. She had a scarf around her neck since she usually feels cold. It was due to her sensitivity to the dead.What's more, the dead seemed to like to stick around her, causing her to feel colder than usual. Like this nuisance, the dead behind her who stayed with her all day.She took her bag and waited for everyone to leave before she left the room herself. She then muttered under her breath, "I told you to not follow me."I thickened my face and shrugged. "I am not following you. I miss my school. I happened to listen to one of the class and since the seat beside you is empty I decided to sit there. It's not related to you at all."Of course, it was a lie. After Jia's rejection to help me yesterday, I thought more about it.Helpi
We were standing in front of an old two-story wooden house.They were weeds growing everywhere. Some parts of the roof had already collapsed. This old dilapidated abandoned house very much looked like a hunted one.Even the sun was shining brightly, I could not help but shiver due to the coldnes
The soft melody that I couldn't recognize echoed in the whole room. The surroundings got chillier and the blood pitter-patter was getting louder.The soft footsteps coming outside the closet was coming closer.Was she walking up to here?
"Gyahhhh!!!" A piercing scream almost made my eardrums explode. I felt my chest heaved as the tongue let go of my throat and the air came back to my lungs.At this moment, I found it marvelous for a ghost like me to feel this threatened. To feel the face of death and escaped from it and become alive again.
My black hair turned grey then silver-white in a blink of an eye.My favorite Yukata was worn out. The house that my husband bought and left for me was cleaned and maintained by my own for years.I watched from the window as the world I am living in changes. New things discovered, new things created, however in my life, my time seemed to stop in this old wooden house.
I shuddered with rage. This boy dared to threaten me! You..who was neither a demon..a dead or-Bang!The boy before me hit the post with immense strength.
When the demonic woman met me eye to eye, she became more violent."Hmrphh! Hmrphh!" Her red eyes were full of blame and vengeance. Like what happening to her was entirely my fault.Well, partly, since I helped Lucas to capture her.
