Befriended a ghost

A ghost

in fear, I listened to the girl as she talked but could not understand a single thing.
I was so damn confused , lot of things were running through my mind .
      Who is she? why is she in my room ? why .....
"Will you help me ?"She interrupted my thoughts, but I just stared blankly at her.
"Sasha". She called and I went stiff.
     how the hell did she know my name?
"Will you help me?",She repeated
"how did you know my name?"I managed to ask and she chuckled softly
"I heard your mom call you when you were all seated at the dinning"
"But how is that possible!" I stared at her confused. "Why didn't I see you?Where did you even come from ?"
The smile on her face faltered and her countenance changed to that of Sadness
I continued. "What is your name?"
"I don't have a name". She replied sadly.
Like seriously! what does she mean?
"What do you mean by that?" I threw the question to her . "I mean who in this world doesn't have a name?".
She scoffed . "Haven't you been listening to me?"
"No, I am just too scared to listen to whatever you were saying".I  confesses
   She hesitated a little and then sighed
" I don't remember anything about me, the only thing I remember is the chain around your neck".
"But how is it possible, did you loose your memory?" I was still confused.
     "No"
"Then what happened to you?" I continued. "How did you even get into this room?"
"I am dead". She said
    "Dead". I muttered and began to laugh.
"Oh God!"You are so funny! how can you be ...... I paused trailing off , when I noticed her serious face .
I panicked a little bit . Is she telling the truth? If yes , does it mean that she is a .......ghost .holy moly!Am I really talking to a ghost ?
    As if reading my mind, she blurted out
"I am a ghost".
My heart stop beating in an instant and the only emotion in me was fear.
"Ghost". I repeated and she nodded
"but I harmless , I just need your help".She quickly added and made to hold my hands but i didn't feel her touch , all I felt was coldness.
"If you are a ghost , then does it mean you are dead?". I asked foolishly , picking my words and she nodded again.
       "Oh God!"I clutched unto the blanket tightly .
      "Please help me . She begged as I stared blankly at her
   "Sasha you  really need to help me , without your help I will be condemned forever". She pleaded , tears rolling down her eyes .
     A wave of guilt ran through me and I felt pity for her .
she looked so innocent and harmless, I mean she is just a young teenage girl of my age .
I sighed. "How can I help you? What can I help you with?"
   She looked at me in relief, wiping her tears
  "I need to find out everything about me , I need to know what happened to me"
     "What are you trying to say?" I asked , clearly confused.
      "I have been roaming around the underworld with no destination". she replied.
  "Underworld".I repeated, not understanding her.
   "Yes". She nodded . "It is a place where dead people like me awaits the final judgement"
   "why then did you come back to earth?" I was still not getting her.
   "Because there is no record of me in the underworld". she took a deep breathe. "and this only happens when the  family of the deceased is not at peace with the dead".
    "So if I am not mistaken, you are trying to say your family is not at peace with you?"
    "Yes".
    "But why ?" I retorted.
     "Well! I don't know ".She shrugged, making me sigh in frustration.
   This is really crazy!
    I was supposed to be having a sound sleep, but here I am talking to a alleged ghost.
    "let's me start be asking you this questions . What is your name?"
  There was no response, she just stared at me blankly
"Your family name?"
"I don't know".She answered with a tiny voice and I scoffed
   "Did you as well loose your memory? I scoffed.
She nodded . "That is the price i have to pay for coming back to earth".
   "Are you kidding me? I huffed . "You mean you have no idea of who you are?" I half yelled.
  "The chain you are wearing is the only thing i remember". She repeated, staring into space.
I looked down at the chain and touched it
  What a chain!
She continued. "I guess it was given to me by someone so special"
  "Is it D2?". I asked , touching the initials written on it
"I don't know". she smiled sadly . "but  we can start by finding out what the initials means"
"We?"
She nodded. "Or won't you help me?"
     "No". I replied bluntly
"Please Sasha you have got to help me". She pleaded desperately. " I have to recover my memory, I have to make my family be at peace with me , I have to find out what really happened to me, or else I will....... she stopped mid sentence and began sobbing.
   I stared at her in surprise,I never knew ghost do cry!
I sighed
"It is alright, I will help you".
"Really? " her eyes lit up and I nodded , yawning , I was already feeling sleepy.
"Can you please go back to wherever you came from, I need to get some sleep"
   "Alright". she nodded , without making an attempt to leave.
  "I said go". I barked
"I don't have anywhere to go". She stated sadly
  "Why?"I frowned
"I just have ........
"Forget it". I cut in . "Just stay wherever you want . "
     She nodded sheepishly and I pulled up my blanket and turned sideways to sleep.
The whole thing still felt like a dream , but it isn't , the ghost is right behind me.
  I touched the necklace, still confused about it , how the hell did it get into my bedroom?is it some kind of coincidence?
I turned around and met her gaze...
She was standing beside the bed , her hands folded across her breast...
"Why aren't you sleeping?"I asked
"Ghosts don't sleep". She simply answered softly .
"Alright". I nodded
   Strange as it may seem , I wasn't scared of the girl any longer.
"Good night Sasha". She bade
"Good night ghostie". I responded and soon drifted off to sleep........
