Cuts and Bruises

5.) Naomi Hayes.

I let go of Brooklyn's deformed ghost, and I feel my face contort into pure confusion.

"Who the fuck is that?"

I know this will be important if a ghost is telling me not to trust somebody.

"Naomi Hayes is a woman with black hair, green ribbons tangled with the dark strands of her hair."
She dresses mainly in green and black."

"Beware of the girl with a snake's tongue."
"She will lie to you."
"She will manipulate you."
"For the angels above have seen it repeat."
"For the demons below have seen it too."

As Brooklyn's ghost speaks, I feel myself freeze.

"So..what if I meet her?"

"Then do anything in your power to eliminate her and her evil ways."

"I should probably not."

"Please, Indy, you are our only hope of ending the woman's life, for she does not deserve a calm, peaceful life anymore."

"..Okay."
"Where would I see her and how do I kill her?"

"Go to the Mockingbird Bar on Thursday night, get to the bar by 20:18."

"..Right..okay."

"To eliminate her, you must kill her with her red wine, with rat poison shoved inside."

"...Okay, sounds..easy enough."

"..I must go."

"...oh."

"See ya on the flipside, my love."

"..Cya, darling.."
Brooklyn disappears.

..Again.

I know I gotta get started on planning on this.

I'm going to regret this.
If I just never went to school that day, I wouldn't have met Brooklyn, then I wouldn't be tied into such a mess...

...Doesn't matter.

It's Wednesday, so I'm doing all this tomorrow.

..Jesus, I'm gonna kill someone soon.

I am not okay with this at all.
It's for Brooklyn though, right?

..Yeah.

I can do this.

I need to do this.

I must do this.

If I don't..

I will never forgive myself.

I must kill Naomi Hayes.
