The Reaper and I

Chapter 4: Death

Chapter 4

That statement brought out my fight or flight skills, I was about to jump up but Sam’s hand kept me in my seat. He tightened his grip as if he could read my mind. He kept his hand on mine the whole dinner.

As soon as dinner ended I was out of there before anyone could stop me. I appeared in my sisters room, she was sitting on her bed with her iPod in. As if she sensed me she looked up, she couldn’t see me though. I so I thought she let out a high pitched scream which almost made me jump through the window “h-h-how?” she stuttered looking at me in horror. I stared back with just as much horror, she shouldn’t be able to see me. So many things went through my head in that second. My sister continued to scream and started sobbing, My mother would be here any moment with this racket. I waited for her to burst through the door and comfort her daughter or do something but she never came. I walked through the wall and into the kitchen to find my mother cooking. I could still hear my sister wailing through the walls and wondered why she couldn’t. I turned back in to my sisters room to see her floating in the middle of it. I froze and watched her hovering on the spot. My sister was dead. She was also a ghost, to be left wondering the earth for eternity or so James says. This explained why she could see me. I walked cautiously over to her and slowly put my hand on her shoulder. One of the things that came with reaperhood was the ability to touch and see ghost. Ghost are normally wondering souls which refused to be taken and cursed to wonder aimlessly around the earth. Sometimes they are bound to a certain places, like where they died or a place they lived at. She looked down at the hand I had placed on her shoulder then back at me. I gasped and stood back, she had a large gash across her neck as if some one had violently sliced a knife across her throat. I closed my eyes then quickly opened them to see nothing was there and she was still looking at me. She opened her mouth as if she was going to say something but all that came out was blood, it poured all over her white dress staining it red. I cried out stepping away from her as her blood continued to drip on to carpet. Everything in the room started shaking as she stared at me with wide eyes, something flew off her vanity and went straight through me. I continued to step back from her then she suddenly screamed “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.” Everything in the room ceased to move and my sister was gone but her blood still soaked the floor. 

Putting my hand on the wall to steady myself I opened a portal and teleported out of there. That was my second fight or flight moment and again I chose flight. I appeared in the dark alley way I died in, letting out a frustrated sigh I walked up to a wall to open up a new portal but nothing happened. I closed my eyes putting all my concentration on opening a door way but still nothing happened. I heard laughing coming from behind me, spinning on my heel I turned to see nothing there. Then all I could hear was that laugh, it sounded all around me never coming from one place. Putting my hands over my ears, shutting my eyes like I could shut it all out but it just became louder. I slid down the wall, curling into a ball. The laughing stopped making me look up to see James standing there with his hands in his pockets. He was wearing a lopsided grin looking down at me “We have to stop meeting like this” he joked. I just continued to stare at him. That was the most scary experience of my afterlife.
