Ch190- A Ghost?

Monday

Aphmau's P.O.V.

I wake up cold. The ground is hard and the air is crisp. It must be really early in the morning because the sun is just rising. Everyone else seems to be getting up right now and cooking up some toast on the campfire.

We are still very lost but we need to keep driving to see if there is anything on this dirt road. We eat some breakfast and then pack up everything. We make sure our campfire is properly put out so there isn't any forest fires.

We get into the cars and I'm in the front seat next to Lucinda who is driving. We begin to drive and Celestia falls asleep on my lap. I wars all the trees rush by until it is just a dry hot desert. There are dead bushes and cactuses. The road is tar here which means there must be something out here.

I suddenly feel a creepy presence. It's like something is there but it isn't. We continue driving well into the afternoon. Eventually we can see something in the distance. Wait that looks like a village. We tell everyone and we head there.

When we get into the village the feeling is much stronger. I ignore it, or at least try. We park the cars and the first thing I notice is nothing. And I'm being serious, this village has been abandoned. We look around a little and I inspect one of the houses.

This village must have been abandoned for at least a hundred years judging by the style of architecture, the wood and all the dust. Suddenly I hear a creaking noise and I look up to see a wooden beam about to fall on me.

Laurance's P.O.V.

I hear a creaking sound and I look over to where it came from. I see Aphmau about to be crushed by a peace of wood. Some protective instinct in me takes control and I run over towards her and push her out the way, ultimately Aphmau falling down on me so she doesn't get hurt.

The wooden beam crashes and Aphmau has tears in her eyes from the fright. She clings onto me like she is holding on for dear life. She doesn't say anything, it's like freak took away her words. I hold her tight until she calms down.

"T-thank you so much" she says as she gets up

"Anytime" I say smirking

She hugs me again and then we go join everybody to warn them about the unstable housing. I notice that Lucinda seems to be doing something weird. Well she always is but this is different.

Lucinda's P.O.V.

I can sense a restless spirit. Something isn't right here, I'm sure of it. I'm using a spell I have in my book to see if I can figure out where it's coming from. I concentrate and I suddenly since the spirit moving towards us.

I can sense it next to Aphmau and I turn around. I see something, scarier than a shadow night, creepier than that Fenrir guy and angrier than Kawaii-Chan when you mess with her ships. Suddenly it disappears. It's as if it reacted to Aphmau. Hmmm interesting.

We set up our beds in this big hall like place that has a scary feel. I tell everyone what I saw and they all seem to believe me which is good. We try to get our minds off the spirit. I guess it could be a ghost though.

Aphmau's P.O.V.

The presence seems to be really strong in this hall. I'm sure there is a ghost here. What was behind me before had the same feeling. I tell everyone and we light a few torches. We walk around the halls following the spirit.

Suddenly there is a screeching sound and all the lights go out. We freeze and a bolt of white light papers infront of us.

"LeaVE NOw!" It says in a screeching voice

We scream and run for our sleeping bags. We can't go now though because we don't have anywhere to go. The spirit is moving closer and closer to us until he comes through the massive doors with a bang.

"What do you want?!" Lucinda yells

"REvEngE" it yells

"Wait, wait, stop, stop" Katelyn says stoping everything "what do you mean by revenge? We even know you"

The ghost suddenly takes on a physical form, it is a boy, he looks about 19 with brown hair, blue eyes and tanned skin.

"She does" he says pointing at me

"What?" I say confused

"I knew after all this time you would come back to me, Arli" he says

"Who is Arli?" I say confused

"Wait your eyes they are caramel, not purple, you are a fake" he says raising a hand at me

"Yeah ok, so can you just go and we can sleep here tonight and we will leave in the morning?" Cadenza says

"No, I want to know who you are" he says

"I'm Aphmau" I say

He floats around me looking me up and down. He takes a little to long looking at my chest so he earns a few glares.

"You really look like Arli" he says

"Who is that?" I ask again

"Arli was my former love while I was alive, she was beautiful, courageous, smart and kind" He says

"Hey maybe it could be you Aphmau" Travis says flirtatiously

"Anyway I was just a boy in the village. I was a flirt, a casanova if you will, but Arli changed all of that. I fell in love for real." He says

"Been there" Laurence says

We glare at him and the ghost continues his story

"We spent our days together until she betrayed me. She said that I was I sorcerer and the village burnt me to the stake. Her last words to me where "you deserved this, you where a casanova" I will never forget those words, they where chilling to the bone" he says

"That is so sad" I say

"My name is Raven and this is the village of Twilight moon" The ghost says

"Well how do you stop being a ghost?" Cadenza asks

"I need to accomplish something I needed to do in my life, I don't know what it is though." Raven says

"Well on the morning we can help but for now, we need to sleep" Garroth says

We head back to our sleeping bags and try to sleep. Raven is also laying down but floating to. I wonder if ghosts sleep?

Travis' P.O.V.

OK THIS GUY WAS KILLED FOR BEING A CASANOVA, THATS NOT WORRYING AT ALL. I know I'm a casanova which is why I'm so worried. What if I'm killed. I'm just like Raven. I fell in love with Aphmau the second I saw her but I still flirt with other girls. What if she betrays me.

Wait I think I'm forgetting that Aphmau wouldn't do something like that. It's still a scary thought though. Being betrayed by the one you love.
