Ghostly

Chapter 16

Chapter 16: the past is renewed.

"What's wrong with you ,Adam?" Judas eyes dared Adam to make a move. " I thought you love sharing , especially this creature, maybe if I break her neck she could be ours forever ." Judas teased. His smile evil and his eyes black as a serpent ready to strike.

"Let her go, she has nothing to do with this." Adam snapped.

Judas gave a wicked laugh , " she has everything to do with it , ever since she was born..."

"What do you mean by that ?" Rachel asked finally getting enough courage to say something.

Judas still holding Rachel ,tilts her head. " have you ever wondered why you mother died that day , when you were in fifth grade ?" He stated.

" of course I did," Rachel pushes herself out of Judas grip. "What about it?"

"Well if you really want to know , a ghost had asked her mother for help, guess he got pissed. When your mother hit those brakes , her friend must have tampered with them and well you know what came next," Judas remarked with a smirk ,then disappeared.

"You lair !!!" Rachel screamed , but the more she screamed she knew it had to be true .Still she screamed repeatedly 'It can't be , it just can't be ...the brakes ...no it can't ...a ghost... it can't ' she cried . Adam held her as she cried out

.

When Rachel finally stopped crying, the sky was black and the only light came from the stars overhead.

"We have to stop them !" Rachel stated. She stood . And for the first time she wasn't afraid to let her emotions fly . She embraced Adam . Adam embraced her . How could he have been afraid to love her ? She was as scared as he was.

" let's go !" Adam remarked

" wait ! " Rachel exclaimed.

"What?" Adam asked .

"Well , for one thing I might of snatch this ," She holds out a golden ring with a sprinkling diamond .

"How ?"

"Your don't grow up on the streets of New York without pick-pock-a-ding once in a while,"

"You lived in New York?"

"Yeah before my mom died ."she truthfully answered.

"I always wanted to go to the big city , they say there are people in fancy suits and there are two large buildings next to each other , what where they called again,"

"Do you mean the twin towers ?" Rachel asked .

"Yeah, and the Statue of Liberty . They say that Lady liberty is beautiful ."

Rachel gave a weak smile . "Do you know that the twin towers are gone ?" She didn't know why she asked that , it just seemed to come out .

"No , how ?" Adam asked inquisitively.

" terrorist , my mom'a friend and my godmother died in the second tower after the second plane hit the tower . She was the head executive . She was in a meeting when the first plane hit ."

Rachel had remembered very vaguely that she had asked her mother why she was crying so much . At that time Rachel was only five. When her mother told her that Aunt Pam had died and went to a better place . Rachel didn't cry or ask anything else. She sat down with her stuff dog and looked puzzled.

When Rachel and her family went to the funeral that had no body ,only a grave that read " Pamela B. Stone beloved mother , sister & godmother .born May 15th 1971-September 11 2001" .

"Are you ok ?" Adam asked .

She blinked quickly . " yeah ,just spaced out is all. I miss my aunt is all . She was like an aunt and friend to me."

"I'm sorry that I had up set you ,please forgive me , " he said.

She shock her head and give a small smile . " You didn't anyway I lived in New York and Lady Liberty is pretty awesome . Now that we have the key to free you and your family ,what do we do now ?"

" I guess we destroy the past," Adam said quietly almost to quite " I just wished we hadn't renewed the past to get to this future ." He whispered. " A future without you ...Rachel ."
