Ghost Ores

Leona's Change

Leona's POV

The way my mother described him. You would never thought he was such an accursed thing. It had became very clear to me. She had no taste. And I knew then. If I had met my father. I would surely be disappointed.

Wait did he just called me a bounty hunter, I asked myself.

"Master", I heard my mom said as death interrupted her.

"Just call me death, Master sounds too old fashioned", he said to her.

"Mr death sir", I said raising my hands.

He lick his lips and said..."Now you, you can call me Marlon." I watch as maggots fell from his tongue unto our floor.

"Mr death, I have a boyfriend sir",I said once more. Hoping he would helped me because I respected him. At the same time volunteering necessary information. As I don't know why, it was necessary to call him Marlon.

"Oh don't worry about that dear, death cometh for everyone, sooner or later"

"My Master shall burn you in hell. Unless you choose to become my wife."
"Then you can walk the world with me collecting souls"

"It doesn't pay much but the benefits are wonderful", he chuckled.

Death was a particular fellow. He is trickster, a liar. He is filth, he is the filthiest of them all. And I won't allow him to trick me. With his maggot-filled tongue.

I looked at my mother and waited on her to interrupt him but she didn't. She allow this thing to traumatize me.

Within a instant he was gone.

"How could you do this to me, mom!", I screamed.

"I can fix it", she said.

"You mean, I can go back to being normal", I said full of hope.

"Normal you can never be but I can teach you how to appear as such", she said.

It was better than walking around, looking the way I do. So I agree.

"On one condition ", she said.

"What, I'll do anything", I responded

"Help me kill Yashmin and her family.......tonight."

I went slient as her words rang out in my mind.

Yashmin's POV
It took awhile but finally dad had gotten mom to calm, down. Maxwell had managed to talk Xena back to the room where it all unfolded.

We all sat there but nobody spoke. We didn't know what to say, or what to do. My mother is pregnant, her sister is a witch, my grandfather a cheat, Sarafena a whore.

"Ok I know this is a mess", I said breaking the silence. "But life goes on."

My mom glanced at me and then she spoke, "when did you get so mature."

I smiled......."but it isn't as simple as that", said my mom.

Before I could ask her what she meant. A knock erupted on the front door.

I watch as my dead held up his head, listening quietly but not speaking.

"Go away", I said as I head towards the door.

"It's ok", said my dad. "I'll get it dear."

I sat back down and in Leona and her mom. But something was different their stench was unbelievable.

"Leona!" I said as if asking myself a question. "This isn't a good time ok", I said.

I could hear her heart flattering in her chest. As if she was frightened about something. But how could she be maybe it was her mother again maybe that stench was her I thought.

Just like that I felt an object piercing through my chest. My bestfriend had just stabbed me while her mom  laughed menacingly . I could hear my dad shrieking. I turned away quickly to get one last look at my mom before I slipped over to see grandpa .

"Yashmin!" I heard Maxwell shouted. As I staggered slowly to the sit down. My mom ran to my side, tears streaming down her face. By this time my dad had rip Leona's mom's head off her shoulder and was making his way towards Leona.

But Maxwell had tackled him out the way. Saying "this one is mine, you had her mother" I heard him say as I watched his shadow morphed into a half man, half-tiger.

Xenia had all three in place with a witches spell. Unable to break free. "Boys I think you both wrong this one is my sister's"

My watched my mom looked up. "Just a second" she said as she pulled the knife from my chest. Kissed my cheek and then assumed her ghost form.

When she had Leona in her grasp. She looked back at all of us and said. "Heck why don't we just share?"

"That's not a bad idea but the heart is mine", said Xena. When they agree she released. The last thing I remember hearing before passing out; was flesh tearing and the cries of my bestfriend as my family tore her to pieces. Was this my end I thought to myself.

Two days after
I opened my eyes few minutes after and realized I wasn't dead. I was surrounded by family.

"She is awake", I heard my mom said as she embraced me in the tightest hug ever.

My family's face brightened. Maxwell smiled.

"Is she dead?"

"You mean Leona, the little bitch just won't die", said my mother. "So now we have decided to just kill her everyday of her miserable life"

"We call it her own personal hell", said my dad.

"What you mean, I have only been out a few minutes ", I  said.

"Yash it has been two days", said my mother.

"Where is she ?, can I see her", I asked.

"I don't think that's best", said my mother.

"Why not?" I heard Leona's voice said. I looked up and there she was.

"Who are you?", I heard my mom said.

I looked up and saw the figure standing beside her. "I am her boss", I heard the figure said before vanishing with Leona.

"So this isn't over?" I heard my mom said.

"Quickly Maxwell", I heard my dad.

Soon after a scream escape from my mom's mouth.
We all turned to look at her and that's when she spoke again.

"I think my water just broke", she said.
