Dead To Me

1.

5:00 AM

I sit at my desk writing, taking notes, making sketches about her. I've been staying up pretty late since she came. She has a secret and I wanna know what it is.

" Dale!! " I hear my mother call from downstairs. The girl must be over again.

I slowly walk down the stairs. Once I see the girl she quickly looks at me. She looked scared. Plus she was wearing colors, well dark colors, but it still counts. Something is wrong.

I walk over to them, making no contact with her yet. I look at my mom with fear in my eyes. She just smiled back before putting her hand on my shoulder.

" I'll be back. Louriza is over to keep you company. Be nice to her. " She says before she leaves out the door. I look over to Louriza who was looking up and down my body. Her sunglasses were hanging from her shirt, which meant I finally got to see her eyes.

They're a beautiful brown color. Everything about her is beautiful, even her smile.. at times, but her personality scares me.

" Hello. " I say. She jumps back as if I had scared her. " I'm not gonna hurt you. You can trust me. "

She didn't respond. She looked around the house, probably noticing the new furniture.

" Are you looking for something?? " I ask. She then looked back at me.

" No. Just... looking. " She whispers. She then sat on the couch. I sat next to her, still sorta scared. Something was wrong with her. She's talking to me, wearing colors, doesn't have on her glasses. Hm..

She grabs the bottle out her bag and takes a few sips. Her lips stained with red perfectly. A few drops fell slowly off her lips. She then wiped it quickly. Maybe it is blood..

" Are you okay? " I ask as she stared directly in front of her. She quickly turned to me.

" I need your help. " She says. I suddenly feel a lump form in my throat.

" With what? " I say, nervousness taking over my body. She laughs and then makes sure no one is around.

" I have a secret. Will you promise not to tell? " She asks. I nod, part of me most likely lying. She then shows me her hands. Her nails start to grow longer and sharper very unnaturally. Her skin became pale. Her eyes turned completely black as her smile started to fade away and gets replaced by a huge opening with ragged edges.

I could feel my body trembling. I was scared for my life. I want to run but I'm afraid she'll do something.

She quickly changed back to normal. She sighed. " I've been cursed by a spirit. Since I was four. I knew about it when it first happened, I killed my friend Megan. I still dont believe it. The only way from me to get away is to acomplish my possessed goal. I have to kill certain people. I have to drink their blood to keep me living. Most of them live here in your neighborhood. But I know another way to get away. But I'll need help. You're the only one I know. "

I stay quiet. I could tell she got angry with me. She then started to reach in her bag. " Wait, okay fine. Where do we go? "

" We'll have to go to my old home. The spirits follow me. I can hear them at night as I fall asleep. They watch over me and make sure no one comes to kill me. Their bodies are in that house, in the basement. We need to destroy them completely for me to be free and I can't do it alone. " She tells me. I sigh and thought about it. What will my mother think if I go with her? It's worth a shot right, if I don't get killed. I'm still scared half to death of her.

" Where's you're old house? " I ask. Her smile then faded a bit.

" It's in Winnipeg. Crap, maybe we'll have to walk. You cant take your moms car. If we go through the forest then cross the river, we'll get their faster. It's not that far. "

I didn't want to agree but she's basically forcing me to. She has the ability to kill me if she wants. I'm not gonna risk that.

" Okay. We can leave tomorrow. Maybe around 3 am. My mother nd father won't be home. " I tell her. She smiles. Her smile is nice, maybe it just took some time for her to get comfortable. Well, at least with me.

" Perfect. "
