THE FREAKING GHOST

       The sun is rising and unlike this place chirping of birds could have been heard by now but this place is dead silent like yesterday, all I could hear is the sound of the wind howling in the air chanting over and over for me to retreat back home. I have been walking for so long now, I frowned and my heart sank as my eyes drifted upwards at the trees which are ash black as burnt skeletal bodies hanging from the branches of it, this place definitely must have come under the top ten haunted places in all around the world, a sign of another wrath. I better hurry as yesterday was just a trailer I don't want to know what those people are capable of, with quick steps I hurried my way in the southern direction.

I walked out of the town and towards the southern direction which seems like a forest, it will be difficult to look for the cave in the middle of the forest but there is a route of less grass on the ground showing a pathway to someplace, I decided to follow the path.

I pathway ends here and I finally reached the destination of the red mark on the map, I glanced up and saw the cave covered with loads of leaves and shrubs it's probably the cave I have been searching for, it has the sharp edges with black rocks coming out at the entrance that entering inside the cave feels like entering the mouth of the monster itself and with every step further inside seems like the monster swallowing me as a whole.

"The fuck!" I said out loud as I looked around the cave for a way but the cave was empty and had nothing, the cave began and ended right away, there was no way further, it was just another dead end, I pressed my palm on each and every rock of the cave in hope to get something to move forward but found nothing. Feeling distressed I cursed and looked at the map over and over but even the map failed to bring me to the right place, I can't do even one thing right, god. I folded the map and set on my knees as I let the monstrous cave succumb my bones.

"Missed me?" I jumped at the voice which whispered right in my ear, I looked around and heard the voice of laughter echoing throughout the dome of cave.

"My gosh! You should have seen your face, believe me you could win Oscar for the best actor playing in horror movies." Daehyun said with huffs of breath, having hard time breathing as he held his stomach because of laughing so hard.

"Can't you show up like a normal human being for once?" I breathed loudly and called him out to which he laughed it off.

"For that I need to be a normal human being, don't you think?" He replied in the same ghost appearance of half translucent, best costume for the occasion to see through, perfect for this monster cave.

"So now you are showing up after sending me off to those people to chew my ass off, where were you Hun?" I called him out with fire in my eyes.

"Woah there buddy chill out it's not like they killed you or something you are standing here perfectly fine in one piece." Daehyun said emphasizing 'one piece' I raised my brow at him giving away an annoyed expression which speaks that I am not buying the bullshit he is saying, "Come on do you think in this condition I could have been able to give those dickheads a one or two hit? My hands would have gone right through them, plus I wanted to have some fun it's been so long since I have seen any wrestling match and I tell you, you nailed it there buddy, what punch and that slitting of the throat, my-my you-!"

"Can you stop with that?" I said and folded my hands with a sharp look telling him to shut up. "You could have at least scared them off with this ghost form, no?"

"Oh yes! That didn't come to my mind." He said nodding to himself in a way of thinking something,

'He is such a child' I thought to myself, I looked at his ghost appearance again, gosh first vampires then pixies, witches and now an alive ghost, now the last thing I want to see is a mummy.

"Why did you even sent me to that tavern when you knew about this place already?" I asked.

"For you to hear the prophecy." He said.

"The Kim's prophecy you meant?"

"Yep" He said popping the letter 'p' with his tongue.

"You couldn't have told me the prophecy yourself, when you knew about that too"

"If I could then I would have done that."

"So, are you happy now? I almost got killed for nothing and even this place worth nothing to go for."

"Well... look at the ground." Daehyun said with a smug face. My eyes drifted on the ground and I saw a flower symbol drawn on with gold that I probably came across a thousand times by now, the symbol of snowdrop kingdom.

"What's with this symbol?" I glanced back at Daehyun.

"You would need a familiar to go further." He said and began fading again.

"Familiar with what?!" I asked but he wasn't there anymore, "Hey come back here."

I shouted to the empty walls of the cave which in return repeated my words, People need to learn how to narrate the whole story at once. I am so done with this back and forth game of reaching nowhere. I turned on my heels and walked out of the cave in search of this familiar.

Meanwhile...

A female wearing a green gown walked downstairs making sounds of clinking of heels with every step on the stairs, she opened the lock of the old door and pushed the door in order to open it.

She ventilated further and chanted some words, making sounds of whispering voice of all the witches echoed in the air and with that the bracelet wore by person laying on the stone table broke and that person awaken from his deep sleep.

The person opens his black eyes and glanced around at the place and he stood up his eyes drifted to the women standing in front of him.

"Who are you and what am I doing here?" was his first words after coming out of his slumber.

"A small piece of token for what you did to everyone, by the way my name's Lisa" she said, "I am the one responsible for you to come out of your sleep."

"And who is the one responsible for me to go in one?" He said raising his brows, his skin ain't pale as before.

"A famous wizard known by the name Jeon."

"And what do you want from me, Miss Lisa" he said in a mocking tone.

"Mrs." She corrected.

"Mm I see" he said with amuse.

"Well I want you to keep Taehyung away or more like kill him so that Jungkook could go behind him and away from the mansion."

"What fun will sending my brother away to his lover would bring you?"

"You see, I bewitched Jungkook in falling in love with me but all he chants is Taehyung, Taehyung, Taehyung all the time ugh I am so sick of it and also that old freak Jeon to be strike off the title of most powerful wizard, so that I could be considered as one of most powerful one and this mansion will be mine." She said with irritable manner.

"Or how about I kill you instead for giving me an order." He said emphasizing 'me' and smirked at her.

"You won't do that, if you wanted to you would have by now," She said, "And I'm the one who brought you out from that so don't underestimate me thinking I can't kill."

"Mm-hmm cleaver girl, I see."
