The Veracity

Zhan's Pov

"A-Xiang?" I mumbeled, I have heard this name from Yibo's mouth several times, mostly when I see him talking to himself.

"Do you know anything more about A-Xiang?" I asked 

"She was weird a sickly girl, no one really liked her and she would always stay sick."

My head started pounding, I never expected all this, but seems like Yibo is hiding a lot of things from me.

Moreover if this girl A-Xiang is dead, then was it her spirit Yibo was talking to? and if it was were the case then why couldn't I see her spirit? moreover Why would he hide her?

"Hey.!" Noah called me, "You havent' told me your name."

"My name is Zhan" I replied, "And Noah, I have to leave now"

His smile vanished and his eyes became sad again, I felt bad for him but I couldn't keep him with me.

"Will you come back?" He whispered, and almost pleaded, but I have to harden my heart.

"No, Noah...there is no need for me to come back." 

Noah looked like he was gonna cry, "All of you are so bad."

Even though I have never been in his shoes, I knew what he meant, he has been wandering around in the orphanage alone, he would see the kids play but he couldn't play with them.

How jealous he must have felt when he would see other kids getting family but he would always have to stay in the dark because he is dead.

After I lost my memory, I had Yibo by my side, that's why I didn't feel nervous at all, because I had someone at least but what about Noah?

"Um...Noah?" I said, since he has helped me, then  I should help him as well, "Do you know why everyone can't see you?"

He nodded.

"Why?"

"Because I am dead right?"

"Noah, your mother is dead as well" I said and his reaction was just like what I had expected, he was shocked and panicked.

"What?...how and why?" 

"Hey calm down" I wanted to make him quiet but I could see people giving me some weird stared of course I knew what they must be thinking so I urge Noah to come with me somwhere else where it would be quiet.

"H...how did she die?"

"I...I don't know that Noah, but you know Noah you don't belong here, you have to go to heaven to meet her."

"H...heaven do I have to go alone?"

"Yes but think once you go there you might find your mother."

"How can I go to heaven?"

I smiled gently, "Well, you know this guy Yibo, he can help you."

"Wait you want me to go to this murderer?"

"He is not a murderer."

"How do you know? I was there you were not, and what if he recognises me and kills me."

He had a point, If Yibo somehow recognises this guy the he would question me that where I met him and what if he started doubting me that I had went to the sage orphanage?

I will definitely not take him hime because Yibo is an exorcist he can sense the presnece of a ghist then where can I leave him? 

"Listen Noah, I think that if you keep your mouth shut and never mention the orphange then won't recongnise you."

"But what if he does?"

"Have you ever talked to him? met him?"

"No I was always sick and I would lie in my room, I have seen him from far, and he hasn't seen me at all as far as I know."

"Then there is no prblem right?"

He thought for a second before replying, "Fine,"
