Whisper

Start of a Mystery

We walked from school to a familiar route one that I hadn't taken in so long since my mother died.

We finally made it threw the forest where are old town bridge stood, people stopped using it because it was difficult to get to. I smiled at the familiar scene.

The stone bridge the length of a bus it had water from some river I'd forgotten the name of, and it silently mixed. It wasn't amazing or breath taking it was just a quite place where you could sit and think.

Nora smiled and sat in the the metal swinging her legs back in forth, her smile it looked so childish so inncoent. I wanted to smile like that along with Eric but with memories of happiness this bridge also brought sadness.

I peered over the rails looking at the solemn river and the empty blue sky.

"Are you ok" Nora asked noticing my face.

"I'm fine, it just I haven't been in years this was my mother favorite spot in town. She said there was pleasant and plain beauty about it that couldn't be compared anything" I thought how my mother always looked out from the space, the way her blonde hair flowed in the wind absolutely breath taking shell always looked so peaceful.

I didn't realize I was crying until Nora had caught one of my tears.

Babe don't cry, please please don't.

Amber said not far behind me.

"It was my mother favorite too, she went on and on about how the wind blew the voice of nature sung and other things. I miss her"

"What did she look like"
I asked

"She tall and very small like me she had a beautiful smile that revealed white teeth. Her hair wasn't as dead my mine it was straight and pretty her eyes where a dull brown but she had some much in them"

"How'd she die"

"We don't know it was sudden, me and my dad had came home from the ice cream shop and found collapsed at the front door"

A breeze blew one really staring and I turned I saw the woman Nora described as he mother she smiled sadly at her daughter. She didn't know I could see her, I gave her a moment.

"My mother was blonde she was really pretty had a teasing smile, She was full of smiles and hated being in the house. She was adventurous and kind, I miss her"

I heard Nora sniffle and she nodded.

"Nora can I tell you a secret"

"You can tell me anything"she smiled.

"Do believe in ghost" I asked bluntly .

She tilted her head in confusion and was silent for a moment, I turned back.to the person who was her mother she was still full of color saying she hadn't been there long.

Murder deaths are usually the strongest the ones that can stay threw for centuries till they lose there glow, it hard for them to pass and that fully understandable. Her death was probably a murder I thought.

Nora final answered "Yes... when I speak of my mother or think about her I start to smell cinnamon it like her natrual scent"

Her mother smiled and let out a little chuckle.

"I can see her" I said her mother still hadn't noticed till now she turned to me and her eyes widened.

"Don't play with me like that i'm being serious" she nudged me but I didn't move or even flinch.

"So am i" I said emotionless. "She's in jeans an old tank top and has a ling Gray cardigan on, I like her style"

The mom's eyes widened and she laughed a little.

Nora was silent again "Then what her name"

I looked at the spirit "Anna Mifflin" she said in a shortly imitation of her once sweet voice.

I prepared and Nora gasped "where is she"

"Not far behind you." is said

She turned her breathing picked up and she desperately looked around. Tears fell from her eyes and I looked at her.

"Say what you like to her she right beside you"

She let her heart out and I tried not to listen to people confessions there personal and sad, I envy Nora now, when mum other died she woke me up in my sleep. With the saddest smile I'd ever seen.
She said three words I love you and vanished.

Usaully when people moved on the room would be full with peace and there would be a light you could see the happiness on theses spirits face as they either walked threw or let it cover them. But she just disappeared in a space I could no longer see her and I'd always wondered if she was alright.

I'm older now and every time I think of that day darkness fills me reminding me she isn't that something took her and she trapped.

Nora hug snapped me out of my thoughts, tears streamed from her eyes and fell on my shirt I didn't mind, I hugged her back cooing in her ear. Then turned to her mother who had a smile.

"Tell her I love her and I never wanted to go, tell her that the person she living with is not her father just a man I married. Tell her not to seek her father and that she is special she has a gift much like you my dear. If you wouldn't mind taking care of her the man she lives with is abuse scum please take her away form there. There money in my hiding spot she knows where it is."

She cried in pain as if she was being hit by something.

"What wrong what happening" I yelled and suddenly I felt in another place.

It was a gray version of thew world evwything looked dull and solemn everything looked dead. Limbo.

"Take care of my daughter even if you don't know it you are in the same position Faith Hollowway, death is coming it will take over the weak and then the original will die one by one."

"What do you mean death and the originals, what happening to you"

She smiled "Many secrets are kept from the young ask your grand father He probably won't tell remember your mother words his time Is to coming soon. Faith you have no idea what this world hides be safe"

I could tell she given up on fighting whatever was pulling her and suddenly something ripped her up in the air. I screamed and I find myself back in my world.

"Faith are you ok what she say, what happening" I looked to her bidding the feeling of terror with a smile.

"She said she loves you and to leave who you call father he isn't your real dad. Don't look for him and there money in her hiding spot"

"What" she said eyes wide and kind of felt bad for her.

"Come on you can a stay at my house if you like, then we go to your and get to your stuff your money" I pulled on her arm and she pulled back.

"I can't do that I just met you, I can't have you take care of me."

I smiled sadly "Your mom told me to and I won't lie she not in Heaven I don't think she in Hell either but she not in peace she told to take care of you that your special that where in something together" I shook my head "I don't know but that was her wish and knowing she not in Heaven I'm going to do what she told me your going to be staying at my home until you find somewhere else. Where gonna be good friends I already know, and then when you feel like it you can show me your gift"

I smiled she averted my gaze "You can do it on your own time"
I said and walked knowing she would follow.

Originals, Death, Grandfather , Mothet, Gift.

All of sudden I'm in my own twisted version of ghost whisper. Yay.

Secrets, time to be unraveled.
