Tiffany's POV
Tessa was taking me up in the highest mountains passing where I usually stop. It was getting cold and scary and I can't take anymore scary stuffs, I will get a heart attack if I do.
"Tessa, where are you taking me to? It's getting scary" I said above a whisper
"Just a little further and we will be there in no time" she assured. What the hell?
After a long walk, we seemed to have arrived because she stopped and turned to look at me
"We're here" she proclaimed and I scoured around horrified. It was a Cemetery! Oh no!
"Why did you bring me to a Cemetery?" I panicked. My eyes darted on one of the graves, it was Benji's picture there. Oh my God! I covered my mouth with my palms
I looked at the other grave to see Poppie's picture there. Wait, Poppie?!
"W-What are all these? Are they really dead?" I spun around, now facing Tessa. But then my gaze landed on Tessa's picture on the other grave.
My heart began pounding speedily as I cringed backwards, only to find Ralph's picture on another grave. No, no...no....no. I was sweating uncontrollably
"Tiffany you have to believe it" she said. Never, this is another illusion. Ralph cannot be dead, No!. "We all except you and Lexie died out of the explosion in Making Waves Academy".
Tears streamed down my eyes after hearing all she had said. Ralph's voice was heard from behind, causing
me to shiver in fear. The thought of associating myself with dead people hit me.
I couldn't even imagine myself being stuck with ghosts for almost a month now, but I did it anyway. I endured the torture of my illusions and now I'm being told that I'm in the land
of the dead, full of ghosts.
"Tiffany...I...I can explain" his voice stammered from behind, I just cringed backwards covering my face in fright.
Within a sec, Tessa gave me a nod and left, my heart pounded violently at the thought of being left alone with Ralph in this creepy forest.
"Ralph you're dead" I said as my head hang low, I forced back the tears brimming in my eyes. I clutched to my clothes as I noticed him step forward.
"Allow me to tell you the whole truth" he requested and I nodded, lifting up my gaze to stare at him
"Go on, because this might be the last day you would ever speak to me again" I rasped and he swallowed hard. But I'm going to keep seeing him right?
There's no way for me to leave this place, I'm just as good as dead with them here.
"We were both couples and we loved each other beyond description" he began, causing my eyes to dilate as I looked at him.
"We were so fond of each other and the whole Making Waves Academy knew about our relationship together. We would always win awards of being the best couple in Making Waves Academy"
The more he said the truth, my head kept whirling as all the memories I had longed to recall came flashing on my face.
He wasn't telling any lies at all, we were very much good today. I remembered the dance party we organized for the whole school. The prom outfits for couples and we actually won.
All our times today and the promises we made to each other was now transparent like glass, now I understood what the two RATI books were talking about.
Now I remember the role he plays in my life, he's my all. The one person I could never dream of living without. How!? I immediately forgot he was a ghost, as I ran to him tightly hugging him.
Why didn't I remember all these sooner!?
"I remember everything now Ralph but how? why?" I asked looking deep into his eyes. He cupped my cheeks and gave a rueful smile, turning his back to continue
"You want to know why you and Lexie are always haunted by ghosts right?" he asked awkwardly and I nodded in alacrity. Why wouldn't I want to know?
"Well it's because everyone in this school are all dead except for you and Lexie. Remember when I was frustrated? I always write letters to you with this book and you would always try to pacify me with this other book"
Yes the RATI books, it was I and Ralph who owned it. It was just so perfect back then.
"We decided to make the cover more intimate by writing RATI on it" he said and I gazed at the two books. This explains everything.
"Tiffany, you and Lexie don't belong here. Remember our last conversation before the bomb's explosion?" he asked and my memory whirled back
~FLASHBACK~
"Ralph, why would you forget the other RATI book up at the mountains?" Tiffany asked, with her face looking annoyed
"I'm so sorry. You should better go get it before the storm begins" Ralph persuaded. Tiffany looked down at his clothes uncannily
"What's with the hoodie, it's quite hot you know" with that Tiffany stormed out. Up at the mountains, she heard an explosive sound coming from the school and the wave fling her away as she collapsed.
~END OF FLASHBACK~
"Yes....Yes I remember" I said covering my mouth. That's why I woke up in the mountains when I went missing. Everything got even clearer than it already seemed.
