My guardian angel

chapter 1

"THE ENCOUNTER"

Ugh. So boring! No one to talk to. Today is one of my boring day. Oh let me rephrase that. Every day is a boring day! Tomorrow will be another one boring day too. I can feel it.

Right now I'm walking in the streets watching people laughing with their friends, talking with someone on the phone, Others just walking while holding grocery bags. "When will I have a friend?!" I shouted. don't worry they can't hear me or see me.

Any clue of what am I?

I look up on the billboards hoping I was them. Being someone like me is kinda awesome cause you can shout without anyone scolding or tolerating you. You can walk in and out of a concert without being caught. If you trip or slip no one will laugh at you. But ofcourse being a ghost is also lonely. No one to talk to, to laughter with , to share with , to hang out with. So yeah. I rather be a human who can feel anything rather than being a ghost walking around peerless and homeless.

I don't have a home and I don't remember if I have a family. And also I don't know what my name is. But I'm a girl who has a long hair wearing a white dress with no slippers.
"Oh my god! She's coming!" I squealed. I just saw a poster of her. Ariana grande! Omo! I always watch her from tv and computers. Don't get me wrong. I'm watching her from outside and if ever their window is open. and some of the humans who would spend their time in a computer shop. I must go there!

While walking a group of girls walk through me. My eyes widen but realize they can't see me I look to my self and smile bitterly, and to the group of fan girls holding banners and wearing green t-shirts with a caption of "darrenatics". What does it feels like being with friends you don't even know but since your supporting the same idol you get to hang out well. I just started at them while a small smile in my lips. I wish I can squeeze my self there, shouting from the button of my lungs, smiling to the other girls who also wants a picture with Darren.

Wait, it's Darren! Why didn't I notice that!! I tiptoe to see the handsome guy. Waving my head from left to right to get a glimpse of him.

"Darren pa picture!"
"Hello Darren!"
"Darren dito!"

Hay naku girl, ghost ka diba? Pwede mo naman puntahan si Darren ng hindi mo na kailangan ipag siksikan ang sarili mo kaya go!

My subconscious said. Oo nga noh!

I grin and walk through the crowd. Others says they feel something cold others ignore me. Hah! But Darren was escort to the arena before I even arrive there. I pout and glance at the girls at the back who burst out crying cause they didn't have a picture of him.

***

Wow! The screaming of fans! Are just ear popping! And guest what? I'm in the VVIP section! And Hah! I saw Ariana grande on the backstage! What can I say... It's one of the advantage of being a ghost.

"This is the part when I say I don't want yah!" Ariana sang. The crowd was jumping to the beat and dance with Ariana. I was at the very left side of the VVIP part. Jumping and dancing at the same time. Then a boy excuse his self to my way.. Maybe returning to his sit when another guy walk and step on my foot.

"Ouch!" I said.
"Ow, im sorry!" He shouted and give me a smile. I smile back and return my focus on Ariana.

Wait... HE SAW ME! My eyes widen and instantly swing my head to my right to see the boy who talk to me but he was gone. And also HE STEP ON MY FOOT! he--he can touch me?! My mouth was hanging and the background was a blur. Can somebody really see me? Hear me? Touch me?

Oh my freaking glob!

---
After the concert people start leaving. I sat at the chair next to me and think of the boy who notice me. Gazing off. Who was he? Why can he see me?

I need answers.

I close my eyes breathe deep. And concentrate.

"Natalie.. Are you there? I have some questions.. "I spoke inside my mind. Then a wind came blowing my hair I felt warm.

"Yes? What is it?"She spoke. Natalie is someone inside me. I just spoke to her whenever I need something. She's like my mentor or something. I can't see her, and her voice is soft and calm. I ask things that I can't understand.

"Did he really saw me? I know you were there when it happened. Tell me, can someone see me? Hear me? Touch me?" I ask. I bit my lower lip hoping she'll answer me.

"You lass, why ask me when you already know the answer?" She answered. My forehead frown and my concentration was starting to loose. No I don't! Would I be asking if I knew?!

"No, I don't know the answer.. Please Natalie help me" i plead. But I just heard a giggle fading away and I knew it. I lost her.

I slowly open my eyes and sigh. She's always like that. Giving riddles and hints. I look around me and found the arena empty but the staff was cleaning up the stage and not a minute later a group of people came down from the back stage with cameras on their grip, laughing and talking. I guess they saw Ariana in person. I stood up and started walking. My feet touching the cold floor.

"Hey!" Someone shouted. But of course it's not for me. I think the boy who saw me earlier already left. So no one will call me. I intertwine my hands behind my back and look at the ceiling that's up so high. And I start hop skipping some chairs hit through me.

I was almost at the exit when all the lights were off.

I CANT SEE! and worse. IM AFRAID OF THE DARK!

I can feel my dead heart beating. Well that's what Natalie told me. I have a dead heart and a dead lungs and all of my entire organs are dead. At first I find it insulting. But it's been 3 years so I finally accept it.

Even though I'm a ghost I can feel things. And right now I feel scared. I touch my chest to feel my heart beat 2x faster than the regular beating. I'm afraid of the dark. I remember things like someone calling me or so I thought it was me. And it was like I'm drowning and I was looking at them and they were trying to reach me. And also one of the reason was Natalie told me that if I spend to much in the dark. Other ghost will try to eat you. So I really hate dark places. And I don't know it feels strange that every time I'm in a dark room or place I feel weak.

I curl up hugging self,rocking back and forth. I can feel my self tear up. Then In hush voice I can here them. I cover my ears and shut my eyes. Natalie call them dark ghost. They eat other ghost to get power. She also said that dark ghost can smell happy,jolly,cheerful energy and they suck it making the human feel sad,down or scared. (A/N: if your reading Harry potter, dark ghost are like dementors.. Potterhead here!)

Come here..

Come with us...

Your not alone...

I screamed and suddenly the light were back on. I open my eyes and look back. Humans walking.

"Buti nalang tapos na ang concert before mag brownout." One of the human said.

I sob and look around me. There gone. I wipe my tears and slowly stood up. And this time walk faster to get out of here.

I don't have a name but I call my self.. Angel.
