City Of The Angel

Chapter 6 - Nightmares

I walk home after a long day of searching in the city for any clues about the people that attacked and burried me, didn't found a trace of them, its like they just simply disappeared. I went back to my grave but there was no sign of anyone being there, the only one who might have seen anything is that girl, it's about time I asked her some questions. Today is a clowdy day, just like any other day in this town, it'll start to rain soon. I make my way towards the house but as soon as I enter I get an odd feeling, it's too quiet in here. I walk slowly and carefully to not make noise as I scout the house for any intruders, no sign of that girl, she must be out.

I searched the entire house except for one room in particular, its not a room exactly, its a roofless garden thats in the center of the house. Since theres no running water in the house and it rains everyday, that's basically our shower. Whatever is causing that presence, must be coming from here.

I kick open the door and began to scan the garden for anything suspicious but the garden was completely empty... There's someone behind me! I quickly turn around... It was just her again...this girl, theres something wrong with her. I never know what she does, I don't know anything about her, I don't even know her name and she's living with me. I need to ask her...

-"Hey, we need to talk."

- "Well whatever it is it can wait, you should get inside or you'll catch a cold."

- "Do you keep forgetting that we're dead?"

- "That doesn't matter, you should get inside either way."

- "Alright, lets go inside."

When we get inside the house she brings me some towels to dry myself up and brings blankets to keep warm, she sits beside me on the sofa and looks up at me and asks: "Now, what was it that you wanted to ask me?" For some strange reason I couldn't ask her, it felt wrong, but I needed to know.

Theres a silence between us, the more I looked into her eyes the more guilt I felt about asking her.

-"Nevermind" I said.

-"You seemed worried, are you sure it wasn't something important?"

-" y-yeah, I'm sure. Anyways I think I'll be getting some rest while I can. Don't do anything stupid while im asleep."

-"Do you really sleep?"

-"Well I don't HAVE to but it helps to remember my past, sometimes I can have visions of my past lives."

-"Ah, interesting... I didn't knew you slept..."
