Wraith (BEING REWRITTEN)

Chapter Five

The next morning I woke up to Emma gently shaking me.

"Wake up," she said. I groaned and rolled away from her. I don't want to get up, so I'm just going to pretend to be asleep. After a couple more seconds she walked away with a sigh.

I sighed in relief thinking she was going to leave me alone. Seconds later something makes contact with my head. I shut up and saw that she threw a pillow at me.

"Really?" I said groggily. Damn you'd think she'd be nicer after last night. Who am I kidding, she knows I don't like to be pitied.

"We have school, come on," she said as she walked into the hallway. I got out of bed and walked like a zombie to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and did my morning routine.

I went into the closet and grabbed Jean shorts along with a blue plain t-shirt. Once I was dressed I went downstairs and greeted everyone. Selena was sitting down with Emma at the table.

Mr. Gallo was sitting in a chair in the living room sipping coffee and watching tv. The news was on and it was showing a picture of Lorenzo.

"What does that say?" I asked Mr. Gallo as I pointed to the tv.

"The kid was reported missing last night. He hasn't been found yet." He said without turning to face me.

My thoughts wandered back to last night. How did he get rid of the body that fast? More importantly why am I not more freaked out at the fact that I know this guy was murdered and who did it.

"Poor kid," Selena said with a sigh. Well I for one don't feel sorry for him. He can rot in hell. Ok yeah that was mean but the dude was a literal rapist.

"Who?" Diego asked as he sauntered into the living room.

"Your friend Lorenzo is missing," Emma said. Diego's eyes widened and he darted his gaze to the tv.

"The mietitore must've caught up to him," he mumbled. I thought I was the only one who caught it but I looked over to see Emma giving me a questioning look.

I shrugged. Mietitore. That's the second time I've heard that word. What was it that that guy called Greyson? Il cupo mietitore I think? I'll have to look that up.

"We need to get to school," Diego muttered. He turned away from the tv and quickly walked to the door. Emma and I gave each other confused looks before following.

"Have a good day and stay together!" Selena hollered after us. We said we would and returned the 'have a good day.'

As we walked to school I pulled my phone out and searched 'Il cupo mietitore'. I typed it into google translate.

The Grim Reaper.

Well that's weird. I wonder why he's called that. I put my phone away and turned my attention to Emma.

"Ok so with what happened last night do you think you're in any danger?" She whispered so Diego wouldn't hear. He was walking a few feet ahead of us.

"I don't know, those guys seemed terrified of Greyson and I think if he wanted to hurt me he wouldn't have helped me in the first place." I whispered back. I don't know why I have trust in this guy. I don't even know him.

"We'll be careful just in case," she whispered. I nodded and Diego turned to us.

"What are you two beautiful ladies talking about?" He asked as he walked back to us and threw his arms over both of our shoulders. I feel very uncomfortable.

"Nothing, just talking about our friends and family back home," I answered, trying to sound as convincing as possible. I've always been a pretty good liar when I need to be so I'm not too worried about it.
