Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Sunshine turns to darkness.

Warm colors of pink and orange filled the sky as the sun dripped slowly down to the abyss. the wind was still and peaceful. No one stirs ,but a girl in a red hoodie as she rides her bike towards the town's haunted home.

Rachel jerks the bike to a stop looking up at the old decaying house that felt like home more than the house that's warm and cozy.

"Finally, where have you been?" Cadence asked.

"What do you mean? I had to wait to come here," Rachel answered. She glance up at Cadence. She looked awful, not ugly awful but concerned awful. Her eyes were a dark ,empty like something was deep down in her soul trying to escape but couldn't find the light. They were swollen and red like she was crying. How could ghost cry? Rachel thought. "What's wrong?" Rachel finally manages.

"It's. Adam something wrong with him, Dad doesn't know what it is, but Adam's acting weird." Cadence replied. She grabbed Rachel's hand and dragged her into the house.

" Look, who it is the stupid little girl who thinks she can save us," Adam laughed.

"See?" Cadence whispered.

" What did you say little brat, why dont you go play with your dolls for eternity? Cuz we're not going anywhere." Adam hissed. He stood tall, and stiff. He's eyes dark and empty hatred slithering in them. Something was very wrong? Rachel could tell as Adam walked down the hall. But his walk was proud and confident , unlike his usually slow shy walk that made the floor creak.

" I said, your an ass, " Cadence spoke, then turned towards Rachel, " Help him," Then she disappeared.

" Looks like it's only you and me now, " Adam laughed.

"Yeah, I guess, look Adam can we go outside and talk? Rachel asked.

" Why should I? The talk is something most guys try to avoid at all cost, so I'll pass," Adam replied.

"Please, Adam just for a minute or two," Rachel begged.

"Fine,"

The sky was dotted with stunning stars. Rachel took a seat. "Come on Adam," Rachel noticed that Adam stood away from the bench he's face wrenched in a snarl like a wolve staring at its prey. " What's wrong with you? Adam," Rachel asked staring at his face that was unrecognizable. His features seemed monstrous.

"Why would you care ?" He snapped.

"I care , please , Adam I don't know what's eating you , but I need you to tell what your hiding. please ," Rachel begged.

"Tell me do you love me !" Adam demanded.

Rachel's heart pounded in her chest . Do I love him ? Or is it something ? "I..."

"I knew it ! You don't . Your such a bitch , you play around with my feeling then when I ask to tell you can't even say it ," Adam yelled.

"How dare you ! How could you think I ever loved you, YOUR DEAD! Do you get that D.E.A.D dead . Your such a mental case , acting like your so great and happy then you become this jerk . I mean seriously . For a dead person your confusing . I can never love you, your dead . Dead. Dead! " Rachel snapped her jaw biting her tongue .

"I... Thought ... You were different ," a quite familiar voice trembled . Rachel spun around in the other direction to a ghost white, tear stricken face of Adam, holding a bouquet of flowers.

"But you were over there ," she pointed opposite side , but there was nothing . "I... "

"Don't ever come back ... Rachel your unless," Adam hissed , through tears. "Go back to your normal life!" He disappeared. The flower sifted to the floor.

"His such a drama queen , don't you think," Adam hissed.

"You ...Angel !" Rachel stammered. Questioning herself and her insanity.

"Yes, my stupid girl , you are most pathetic ," Angel laughed change her form. Adams face melted relieving the monster underneath . " changing forms is such hard work," her bones twisted and bended, cracking and pulling , ghostly flesh folded and tighten like Play Dough . Rachel felt queasy. "Most unpleasant but I had to."

"Why?" Rachel asked stammering and contemplating whether she should bolt or stay to get as much info to help.

"Oh, you are as stupid as I thought , well I put it this way , it wasn't a trick to get you into saying what was on your mind from the beginning," Angel snickered .

"How would you know what I felt ! You made me yell at you , you know he would be here !" Rachel yelled.

"Because I know Adam was dead long before he's blood was spilled and his body decayed leaving white brittle bones , and of course I would know he would be here because this is where he goes , his only treasure, a bench , what a waste ? This is where he felt most alive , well was now . Toodles, " Angel remarked.

"Wait!" Rachel begged , but it was too late she was gone. Rachel heart sank . How could she have been so stupid ? She knew she had to set it right .

She ran back to the dark house .

"Adam,please, Adam , I need to talk to you , I was tricked , Angel was pretending to be you , I care about you please ! " Rachel shouted through house .

"Really ?" Adam said , " why should i listen to yours lies? Your just like her."

"Please Adam you have to trust me . I didn't mean a word I said ,I was angry.

I care about you and your family , I was angry at what Angel said ," Rachel remarked.

"Angel?" Adam asked.

"Angel, is here . Can we talk somewhere else ?" Rachel replied.

Adam nodded,"Follow me."

"Where are we going ?" Rachel asked.

Adam looked grey and lifeless as he said "I tell you when we get there."
