Ghost Ores

Guilty or Innocent

Yashshauna's POV

"Dad, dad can you hear me?", I shouted.  "You have to wake up, am not ready to be alone in this cruel world", I said pounding on his chest.

He glanced up on me and ran his hands acrossed my cheek and I just knew this was it. My dad was not going to be here 5 minutes later, or tomorrow, or the next day. He had completed his chapter and it would seem as if his right hand woman was to be blame.

Yashmin's POV

"Did you do this", I heard mom asked Sarafena. Without Sarafena answering I knew she didn't do it. Her heart was breaking, she.........herself in fact was breaking right before our eyes.

"I said did you do this?", mom asked again.
But before Sarafena could answer her. A gust of wind lifted her up in the air and immediately her body went limb. She transformed into ghost form right in front of our eyes. The lights in the house went out and darkness fill the room.

My dad attempted to take her from the air. The minute she went up, he appoarched in full vampire speed but he was thrown back by a force field surrounding her.

I gasped as I looked at Sarafena. But physically she did not move. Her gaze stayed fixated on mom. I looked back to see if dad was OK before redirecting my attention to mom.

I watched as lights flashed off of her. All in different colors; first she glowed blue, then red, then yellow and then green.

Then the lights came together in a rainbow, spread out above her. Her eyes which was once a dominant oceanic blue, was being shared by the other colors. Her nails too now glowed similar to the rainbow above her.

Her once fully blue hair, now had 3 single coloured streaks at the front; red, yellow and green.

Suddenly the lights came back on and mom started to fall to the ground. My dad ran towards her again, in an attempt to catch her and this time he was successful.

Mom however laid unconscious. Dad took her and laid her on a bed.

I glanced at granddad on the floor. He was now black as coal. Then he simply turn into  dust.

"What is going on", I asked Sarafena.

"Your mom as just became our chief", she said.

"And why is grand-dad now just dust?", I asked her again all teary eyed.

"Your grand-dad too is going through transition?", she answered.

I understand every word she said but it still didn't make any sense.

"Did you killed him", I asked.

"Why don't you ask him for yourself", she said.

"How can I if he is dead?", I responded.

Within the same instance, the dust that was once my granddad, was now in the air in a gust of wind. It formed in a circle and my granddad face appeared.

"Granddad", I said.

"Yes Yash", he answered.

"Did Sarafena killed you", I asked him.

"Haha", chuckled my grand dad. Before her kissed my cheek and whispered into my ear. "I must now go to where your great grandma  is. Please take care of my daughter."

He then went over to where mom was lying, and smile as a tear ran down his face.
"I'll miss you the most my darling", he said as he kissed her.

The floating head then made its way to Sarafena. "I bid you farewell, my Sara", he said before vanishing into thin air.

His blood that was once on the floor was no more.

I was more confused than ever. "Sarafena!!!!", I said.

"Your granddad as left to sit upon the council beside your paternal ancestors where he will serve as part of the council. He has transitioned to the next phrase of his life. Leaving your mother chief and you next in line. That's all you have just witnessed. And no I didn't killed John as you just saw for yourself but I was sure as hell going to find out who did", she said.

I watched as she packed her bags. "But you can't leave, must you not sit at my mom's right hand", I asked.

"If I do that, I can't find John's killer", she responded.

"What do you think grand-dad would want?, you protecting his child or finding his murder", I asked.

"Protecting his child", she said. My heart warm as I was sure I had convinced her to stay.

"But now that he has transition, I don't serve him. It is time to do something for me and what I want to do is to hunt his killer", she said. "Besides I have served two generations of McCleary; your grand-dad and his mother before him. Another ghost-witch will take over. And I promise Yash,  she will not fail. Like how I failed to protect your grand-dad. Now I must go. Take care, kiss your mom for me", she said.

She then turn to face my dad, "You must take them from this place and return home it is not safe and please keep my girls save. I'll be in touch."

She then turned into a ball which she did ever so often with grand-dad but this time. She is alone and it wasn't a ball of light, it was one of fire. And just like that. She and her bags vanished.

I turned to face my dad and he enveloped me into a hug. "What are we going to do?", I asked.

"Just as Sarafena said, we are going to go home", replied my dad.

"But mom is still unconscious", I said.

"Don't worry about that", he said. "I'll carry her. I don't wish to be here that Sarafena classified as unsafe", he said as he took mom up and we head to the car. We then drove home.

Word from author
Hi my readers, how are you doing. I hope everyone is doing ok.

Well now we know Chief John is dead and it seem Sarafena's light died along with him.

And Yashshauna has a new journey handed to her by faith himself.

But who killed John? What will become of Sarafena?

I don't know, do you? I guess we will both get the answers we seek as the story continue.

To be fair John died without us seeing the true power of the chief and i don't think that's fair but life happens. So keep your head up my darlings. It can only go up from here. New Characters pending.

Comment both male and female names and  if I like it. I'll name my next character as such. See you soon
