The Killing Ghost

Chapter 6

“One lap left” I yelled out “keep going.

A tired Lilith collapsed on the ground

“I don’t think I can run any further” Lilith said through gasps of air.

Lilith had just run around the abandoned park 8 times. She still had a lot to learn, next I would teach her to fight and then we would take a break and I would go and join everyone else for dinner and then sneak out and resume Lilith’s training.

“Come on” I encouraged “only one lap left and I want to see you run most of lap”

Groaning Lilith dragged herself to her feet and started her final lap. She was an amazing runner, she had done really well, and if she had let me help her in the first place she wouldn’t have to learn everything the day before.

Lilith made it back and lay down on the ground.

“Now can I take break” she asked

“Sure” I said and sat down beside her.                                                         

“Now that it’s your break, I really need you to tell me the truth.” I say

Sighing slowly Lilith started to tell her tale, to be honest I didn’t think she would ever open up and here we are and she is telling her tale. It started by her telling me she was shopping with her friend and then they parted ways. She then went on saying how she ran into an old lady who turned out to be a witch and that she had cursed her. It all started to make sense now. It’s no wonder is never told me how she never died because she never did. The whole thing about her having so many human traits now fitted in to. Most likely tomorrow when the ghost hunter comes I will now who it is and maybe just maybe be able to change things around.

Instead of having both the ghost hunter and the ghost fight against each other I would make them love each other. So that the hunter will claim that she is perfect just the way is she and she will return back to when she was walking home. That’s when it struck me like a stuck of lighting flashing in the sky. If this really did happen then maybe I would return back to that day and my parents would still be alive and on the day of the accident I can tell them not to go out or take me with so that I will die with them instead of having no family to adopt me. I would rather die with me parents.

I looked at my white watch and saw that I should head back for dinner and would meet Lilith after and I told her if she wanted she could do some more laps or just rest until I came back. I quickened my pace so I could be back in time. When I finally got back to the hall the girls were waiting for me.

“sorry I’m late” I say apologetically

“where were you”? Emma asked

“oh, you know… around” I say carefully

When dinner was finished I walked back to the dorm and quickly changed in to sweat pants and a baggy shirt then headed back to meet Lilith. I ran out the door and down to the park. When I reached the park I saw Lilith lying on her back in the long grass.

“Alright, girlfriend let’s get started” I say startling her

I started teaching her all of my fighting techniques that I know of and soon she would like best fighter in the world. Lilith caught on very quick with what I was teaching her. I was a look of determination in her eyes and soon before we knew it, she had learned everything that she would need to prepare her what tomorrow brings.

I would have to lie to my friends as say I was visiting a friend so that I would stay with Lilith.  It was 9’o clock so we decided that we should get some rest for the day ahead. I ran back to the orphanage and had a quick shower and then jumped into bed and fell asleep quickly.
