I was quiet for a moment, thinking if I heard it right, I asked her what she said again "Can you say that again?"
She rolled her eyes on me, "I said, I want you to help me find someone so I can kill them.." she repeated her request
"Do you even know what that word is? what it's meant to kill?" for a six year old, it's quite unusual for a soul like hers to be filled with hatred.. enough that she wants to kill.. usually it's pure and innocent..
"Of course I do, I take their life, and they'll be the same as me" I sigh from her answer "No, get lost, I'm not helping you with that, unlike you I can't get away with that, i'll be sure to be put in jail"
"Come on, mister, I won't be able to rest in peace, knowing that man lives please" she tried to make a puppy eye on me, but I didn't care.
I just wanted to live a normal life, not being bothered by a ghost but here I am, such bad luck.
"I don't care, I'm not listening" I said as I stood up from my seat and went to the kitchen.
For days, she kept begging me to help her in a nice way,until she just snapped. I thought she'd leave but instead, she started being more mischievous.
Whenever she sees me taking a rest, she'll interrupt me, when I'm cooking food she'll drop the whole salt on it, break plates and cups, ruin my room and waste the toilet paper.
And when I try to sleep, she throws stuff at me. I can't keep up with this as I can't get a wink of sleep. When I go to work, I'm so tired that I almost fall asleep while standing up.
"You know mister, if I were you, I would help already" she said while floating around, I keep calling her ghost or little girl, but I never really know her name.
Of course, sometimes I wanted to ask her name, but I rather not, it's better I don't get too close with this little girl.
"And you'll just help me find him, it's not like you'll kill that guy" she said rolling her eyes on me, for a six years old, this little girl is something.
"You know kid, my parents used to tell me violence isn't the answer, didn't your parents teach you that?" I asked, as she went quiet and there was sadness in her eyes.
"Of course they did... they're good parents.." she said as she looked outside of the window.
"I'm just a bad kid, that's all.."
I stare at her, feeling a bit bad for bringing up her parents. She died quite young so probably she wanted to spend more time with her family..
"Are you sure you want to kill? is there no other way for you to rest without killing?.." she shook her head, as she turned to me.
I have no idea how this little girl died, or why she wanted to kill someone so badly, but looking at her appearance.
She's wearing an elementary uniform, with some blood on it, it's possible that she got hit by a car.
I sigh as I scratch my head "What's your name?" I asked her, as she then smiled brightly. "Lily! my name is Lily".
"Alright, lily I'll help you find whoever your looking for, however you cannot interfere with my daily life"
"You can't ruin my food, my sleep,you can't break my stuff, don't throw stuff at me and don't waste my toilet paper alright?", "Alrighty mister!" She saluted me.
"So lily, can you remember anything when you 're alive?" I asked, as I took my notes. "Yea, I remember mostly everything" I wrote down what she said, thinking that it may lead to a hint.
Truthfully, I'm not planning to help her at all, and this is just me tricking her so she can stop messing with me.
It's not that I'll find that man, but rather I'll pretend that I'm trying, until Lily gives up and finds someone else to help her, I do feel guilty but I rather not get in this trouble.
"Then, this may be too fast but, start with how you died, tell me about it" she looked at me first then she looked down as she gripped on her skirt.
She had a really sad look on her face.. after some minutes she finally spoke
"Hit and run.."
she said sheepishly.
