'Audrey's thoughts'

'Ryan's thoughts'

——————————————————————————————————————————————————

A red light caught Audrey's eye, she looked at the street below her carefully, it seemed like red eyes, glistening in darkness. 

'It must be that kid' she thought. 'But didn't he go shopping with the others? They must've come back now. And they are trying to scare me from down there. Ha! You can't catch me now! I'm smart!' 

She went back to her book.

Just then, a hand grabbed onto a bar of her balcony's railings.

Audrey's POV:

I saw a hand coming out of nowhere, holding onto my balcony. 

My mind went blank at the sight.

And up climbed a pale man, wearing a black shirt and jeans, he stood in my balcony, smiling at me. 

My heart raced. 'Who on earth does this guy think he is?'

He then smilingly asked me, "do you really see me?"

'Is my mind playing tricks on me?' I rubbed my eyes and scanned from head to toe, 'oh I see him alright.' 

I saw a hole in his black shirt, a hole small enough to fit a bullet inside. And it was bloody.

My mind couldn't work out what was going on. 'Is my mind playing tricks on me?' I asked myself again. "Umm, hello?" He asked again, bending down to face me. "Can you see me?" 

I stared at the hole in his shirt, it was in the abdomen region, 'was he really shot? Why is he not hurt at all?'

I went pale at the first thought that tried to answer my question, I was looking at a ghost. 

My heart climbed up to my throat, staring into the beady black eyes of his, something did feel faint about him. I noticed how the air had become cold after he came. 

He is really a ghost.

"AAAAAHHHHH" I screamed my lungs out. He stepped away from me in surprise. I stood up and staggered backwards, "WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?" I screamed at him. My eyes watered in fear. I was shaking, my whole body rattled causing my legs to feel weak. 

He came closer to me, "woah, calm down, calm down. I won't do anything to you." 

I staggered backwards to the railings of my balcony, he kept coming closer to me, trying to calm me down. 

I felt dizzy, I could feel my brain pumping, my hands and legs were numb. The world around me darkened, my head felt lighter, yet it hurt. 

My whole body lightened, I could see the inky black sky with the full moon at the side.

Cold air rushed through my body, my hair rustled onto my face.

Ryan's POV: 

She just fell off the balcony.

So she COULD see me.

Wow she can see me. Awesome. 

Wait, she just fell off the balcony. 

I floated down to the ground, going through two other balconies.

I looked up to see where she had reached.

Then it went black. I got inside a warm body, sweaty palms. Eww. 

I could hear her screaming and struggling in my mind.

Duh, I'm in her body. But I felt pain in my stomach, the same pain I had when I got shot.

'Oww.. that hurts bad...' I said in my mind. 'Who was that?' I heard her ask to herself.

She panicked. Either my heart was racing or her heart was racing. Wait it's her body, so her heart was racing. She was screaming and I felt pain all over my body. Or her body. Either way. 

I've been through this before. I can go through this again.

Audrey's POV:

Half my body went cold, my body twitched. I was gurgling white foam. 

'Oww.. that hurts bad...' I heard in my mind. 'Who was that' I asked myself. 

My heart raced. I couldn't bear the pain I felt throughout my body.

I felt pain in my stomach, my eyeball was gonna pop out, I was suffocating. My body twisted itself, something was struggling to get out of me.

My jaws tightened, the world started spinning around me, 'this too shall pass.' I told myself. I felt like I've reached my end. The world had turned its lights off, it's time for me to sleep. 

I cried. I could still feel the blades of grass prickle my skin, my head turned this way and that. 

And then I heard a voice from inside me, 'I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Calm down, miss. Let me get out of you.'

I decided to let it be. If I die, I die. Whatever that has happened to me for the past two minutes was just a dream. I must be dead already, maybe I died in my sleep yesterday, and whatever that had happened to was all just a dream. 

The coldness left my body. I felt warm again, I was panting and sweaty. 'I'm still alive?' 

I opened my eyes to see a white figure, a figure of a pale man in black shirt and jeans, looking down at me with his night black eyes. 

I should escape now, before he possesses my body and pushes my soul out of me. I crawled back, still breathing heavily, onto the road. The ghost just stared at me with blank eyes. 

I crawled onto the middle of the road, when a pickup truck drove towards me and stopped in front of me, its white headlights blinded me. 

The driver came out of the pickup truck. I couldn't sit up any longer. My head felt like it was being hammered with an iron stick.

I couldn't hold myself up anymore. I let go of myself. I closed my eyes.

The world went blank.
