Ghost Hunt: John Brown x Reader

In the beginning there was...a psychic?

  -January, Monday Night-

It was the same every night, I had to stay behind after school to clean up the classes, I liked to help but staying after so long really bugged me, especially since the school was haunted...yes, haunted. Want to know how i know? because i was in tuned with them, i could feel them and sense them, i don't know why or how but i could...and they just loved to bug me.

'Hey (Y/N) what you doing~?'

"Working, what does it look like?"

'You should play with us~'

"No, im alright , thanks"

'but it'll be funnnnnn'

'play with us'

"no"

'please'

"No"

'pleaseeeeeeeee'

"Noooooo"

'Play!'

"aughhhh!"

'we wont stop'

"So help me I will-!"

'stop and play?'

"...fine, i will"

'never mind, you took to long.'

-Instant face palm here-

Yup, thats how it usually was. They never gave me a rest, even after i left school i could still see them in different places, feel them around me, sense the pain they were going through, it was never a fun ordeal. After i was done with the final room i headed down the hall, backpack slung over my shoulder and looking down to keep my eye sight away from the spirits. I pushed up my glasses just as i heard some girls whispering in a room, I didn't sense anything off about them in a ghostly way so some female students must of stayed after too.

"Okay Mai its your turn..." Said one of the girls, i tiptoed to the door and peaked inside, it was too dark to actually see anything except faint lights they were holding, one light went out and only one was left, another girl spoke up.

"Okay, we all know the legend 'Bloody Marry' right?" she said with a hint of sick humor, already trying to scare the others with just that line. Even i knew the legend, though i was never brave enough to actually TRY it...FUCK NO.The girls whimpered a bit, sounded like there were only three girls in there, and the one i assumed was named Mai continued.

"Well, do you know the actual story behind it? " She said, i could barely make out the outlines of the girls and the other two just shook their heads. This peaked my interest.

"Well..." she continued with a type of voice like she was trying to creep them out "A very long time ago, during the Salem witch trials, there was a very beautiful woman named Mary Worth, She was so beautiful that she could get any man she wanted, but she was very vain. She always looked at herself in the mirror, and because of her beauty, men fell for her like that-" she snapped her fingers and continued,

"People began to suspect that she was a witch, putting men under her 'spells' and 'charms' , One day she got into a horrible accident caused by a jelous woman, making her hideously ugly looking, but of course this had to happen just two days before she was to be put on the stake to burn..."

The girls started getting closer leaning backwards from what i assumed. "Mary had all her mirrors removed because she didnt want to see the tragedy that marked her, she never left the house and would only sit in the corner crying. Finally on the day she was taken to the stake, they tied her up..." Mai started getting slower and creepier,

"She had one request, if she was to die , she wanted to see exactly how bad her injuries were, so, they brought to her a single hand held mirror...they slowly held it up to her face and then...SHE SCREAMED!" Mai suddenly jumped up at her friends making them scream in unison.

"She screamed up and cursed everyone saying for the devil to grant her this wish , that whoever says her name in the mirror, they will be cursed and killed!" The girls screamed again and Mai giggled.

"MAI! don't do that! you always jump scare us!" one said with fear and anger in her voice. Mai put her hands up, still holding her light,

"Calm down hehe...now...time to turn off the final light, are you ready?" the girls nodded and suddenly the light turned off, I've heard of this game, whenever you tell a ghost story you turn off a light and count, if another number is heard, it means a ghost is there...oh this was gonna be fun. i chuckled to myself getting ready.

"1"
"2"
"3"
...
I couldn't help it.
"4..."
They suddenly screamed and clung to each other yelling that it was a ghost, i laughed and turned the light on.

"Sorrryyyyy, did i scare you all? haha" i said between laughs, the girls sighed in relief, now that i could see clearly, one had brown hair in pigtails, another with long straight light brown hair and the other had very short tomboy brown hair, the tomboy one looked at me and glared.

"Jeez, why do guys always have to scare us like that, your as bad as Naru" I cocked my head to the side confused, pushing back some of my (H/L) (H/C) hair. "Who?" i asked, she just crossed her arms and replied,

"Oh hes just a guy who did the same thing you did about 8 months back."

"Oh, is he your boyfriend?" i asked teasingly, knowing that would probably irritate her. She blushed a deep red then yelled,

"No...he's my boss!"
