Ghost Ores

Togetherness

Yashmin's POV

In the days gone by, we went back to where granddad had died, all of us.

We met with the other part of our clans and we mourn our Chief and Sarafena.

We then celebrate our Chieftess and our new ghost witch; Xena-Herra.

Everything had settled and here we are today in school; Dew, Lily, Lilian, Mark and I .

We, especially me.........had a rough couple of weeks but atleast start today.  We could just enjoy our childhoods.

"Yo Mark how is it going over there", said Dew referring to the side of the project he was working on.

We were tasked to make miniature houses in class to be graded. Mark was working with Dew, Lily with Lilian and me, with the class know it all.

"Excuse me students, I would like to introduce you to our new student", said Mr Armano.

I lifted my head up and was stunned speechless.

I can't believe it, it's Leona, my best friend. But when since did she go to this school. This was starting to seem a bit creepy but what the heck. My breast friend was now at my school.

"What are you doing here?", I asked.

"I transfered schools", Leona said. "Mom got a  new job and when she said we were moving, I was really sad until I heard that I would be going to your school. Now we can be bestest bestfriends again. Being so far apart was starting to put a strain on our friendship."

"Glad to have you, but a warning would of been appreciated. It would of let it feel............less creepy", we both said simultaneously before bursting into laughter.

"Enough miss, take a seat beside miss McCleary since it's the only empty one. You will just have to work in her group", said Mr Armano.

Pretty soon class was over and it was lunch time and we went into our separate corners.

Dew and Mark had join the schools football team and was drunk in the popularity that came with it.

Lily and Lilian, decided from earlier. That us girls had to stick together. And now Leona was added to the mix , I was happy.

Lily and Lilian was the mirror image of each other. They were beautiful, kind and supportive. They really are twins.

Eventually the day ended. We bid Leona good bye as she entered her mother's car, then all five of us began our walk home the way we normally would.

Got to admit we add a good thing going and for once in my live; I had four friends and not just one.

Through the woods; short cut to home

"Anybody else feels that", i asked.

"Feels what?", asked the group.

"Nth", I responded as we made out way home. I kept watch as my heighten vampire senses was definitely picking up on something. The environment felt eerie.

I stopped in my tracks.

"What is it?", asked Lilian.

"Lilian you know what...........", Drew started to respond but was cut off by my voice screaming, "watch out!!" As I saw it appoarching, it had red eyes and smelled horrible.

When we saw it, it aroma matched it's smell.

"Wait I know you", I shouted as it flung Mark into a tree.

It laughed and then it responded, "you bailed on our agreement lil ghost"

I stood frozen as before me stood the thing that had led me previously into the spirit realm and held me captive there.

Lily and Lilian tried to get my attention but I was a bit out of it. "We must help her", said Lily.

"Ok", said Dew as he quickly shift into his ghost form.

Mark struggled to stand up and when he did. He too assumed his ghost form.

Lily and Lilian look at each other and join hands and within an instant they too were in ghost form. Their transformation was unique and beautiful but seeing as a demon now stands in front of me, I couldn't enjoy the moment.

They all began attacking him in a effort to keep me safe but no matter what they did, it just wasn't good enough.

I watched as he grabbed on to Dew's neck and I saw the fear in his eyes and then I heard Destiny's voice. I am not just a ghost, I am a vampire too.......accept what you are. I was not about to loose another family member.

The time is now , I said to myself. "Time to grow up", I spoke out loud as I shifted into ghost form. I opened my mouth and try a move once done by my mother.

I screamed out at the top of my lungs in his direction. My screams were deafening. I watched as everyone hands went to their ears, even the demon.

As it attempted to cover it ears, I saw Dew felt to the ground, safely away from the forceful rays, my voice carried.

It slammed the demon back into a tree, after its body successfully took down a few.

It made attempts to get up but I quickly raced towards it in full vampire speed.

I quickly climbed its body and lapped my foot around its neck. In an attempt to snap its neck. I had no original moves of my own. I was just copying what I had previously seen. And it seem to have been working, until it wasn't.

It pulled me off and threw me to the ground.

"Enough", I heard a voice said. I looked around to locate the person from which it came but all I could see was a shadow. No face, no features, no identity.

I look back at the demon and it was gone. As well as the shadow.

"Who was that?", asked Lilian.

"De-lu-ly" I responded.

Unseen on-lookers conversation

"See I told you she would be fine", Destiny said.

"I am surprised indeed, although she as yet to come into her own."

"Sssssssh, do you hear that?", asked Destiny.

"What?", replied Faith.

"Listen to that................her dead ancestors are cheering her on. They are quite pleased. Yashmin seems to be coming into her own. While she as yet to tap into her true powers. She is now fighting back."

"Hmmmm well let's hope so", responded Faith.

"You are just upset because you thought you were gonna have to intervene and protect her but she didn't need you", said Destiny.

"I am who I am and what I am is always relevant", said Faith.

"Well it seems our young Ghost may take her faith into her own hands", said Destiny.

"And when she does that,  she would of carved her own destiny", said Faith.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves now", said Destiny.

Conversation ends

Word from author
It would seem Leona and Trouble as found the McClearies once more.

Who is the person commanding De-lu-ly. You know at this point I am upset with myself, being  the author.

Sarafena went back and released  De-lu-ly. So he shouldn't  be here. Much less attacking my girl and her friends. However Yashmin needs to grow, thus begins her growth.  It will be epic here.

Who is that shadow and why is Faith hating on my girl.
