Chapter 243. Ghosts In Gaia

                                                                        John Ericcson's Point Of View

What the fuck!!!!.... It's a ghost... It's a ghost kid! I know how these stories end dammit! I need to get everyone out of here!

" Uhm... Hello?"

I NEED AN OLD PRIEST AND A YOUNG PRIEST!!!

" ... Mr. Drake!"

WAIT! THIS WORLD DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME RELIGONS! 

" Hey, are you okay? You're breathing heavy."

" Huh?"

I turned to look at the ghost... He looks worried.

" Can you hear me?"

He looks scared for some reason? Wait, now that I think about it... I'm in my boxers and nothing else... Sarah and Anna are only in their panties, but they're covered by the blankets thankfully.

" What?"

The kid calls to me. I guess the look on my face says I figured out something.

" Look kid, I can hear you, but I'm in my underwear. You mind letting me at least put on my pants? Where even are they?"

" Okay, they're right there, Mr. Drake."

The kid pointed to my pants on the floor.

" ... Thanks?..."

I got up and went to put on my pants.

" Sorry about scaring you, I thought you couldn't see me."

" Well, even if I couldn't see you, pinching and pulling someone's cheek is bound to wake them up, kid. Also, can you wait till I get both my legs into the pants before talking. It's a bit weird to talk like this to someone I don't know."

" Oh, right... Sure."

The ghost gave me a moment to put on my pants... What a sentence... Once I was all zipped up, I began to speak.

" Okay, since you haven't cursed me or anything yet, I'll assume you're not here to hurt me. So, what do you want, kid?"

" Well, I don't know why I'm here actually... I was on the 3rd floor and then I blinked, and I was here... Oh God! Lady Cindra!"

" Lady Cindra? You mean Baron Fracks's dead wife?"

The kid seemed concerned about something.

" Yes! She's been with me since I woke up after I died! Where is she!?"

" Wait, kid, slow down."

I put up my hand to try and tell the kid to stop. Seems he listened. Still though, I could see the concern in his face.

" Look, I get that you're worried, but being panicked helps no one. First thing's first. What's your name?"

" I... I'm Victor Harvey."

" Okay, Victor. Why are you here in this mansion. I understand that you don't know why you're in this room, that's fine. But why are you here in this mansion even when you're a ghost?"

" I... I was an apprentice for my Dad. He was in charge of washing the sheets, towels and curtains of the mansion."

" Okay. Now the next step. How did you die?"

Victor dropped his shoulders and seemed to get sad as I asked that question.

" Sorry, I don't want you to feel bad, but you never know what can help us figure out how you blinked and wound up in my room."
