Short stories

Yokai

I can see things that other cannot see, or at least I think so. Maybe I am the only one that can see those things, and maybe I'm not the only one. I hope I'm not the only one that can those things. Or what those really are, or aren't? What prove do I have that those things are real? Or that it is not in my mind? That I am not imagining things?

Ones a man told me that the things that I see are not evil beings, that the are holy. But can I trust his words? The words of a un none man, with a unpleasant aura. And how can I trust him? Can he see those things to, or not, that did I not know. And further more those things do not look nice. With there black fur, red eyes, horns and weird shapes. But not all of them are the shape. Some have color and look nice, fortunately I do not see a lot of them. I only think that the colored ones are trustworthy.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a not a normal girl, I can see things no one can. I do look like a normal girl. I go to school, make homework and go out. Like every other normal girl would do.

These being do see me. And look at me, like I'm one of them. It's weird to be looked at by something that only you can see.

But I am lucky, the don't harm me. Fortunately they do follow me sometimes. It creeps me out.

I do not really know what they are called. But I have read about them and I think that they are called, Yokai. Japanese demons, or something. I hope I have the right name for them. Because I have something that I have to protect me. I think it's working, or the Yokai are messing with me. Please let it be helping.

Now that I see them for some time, I try to communicate with them. I started to see them since my 18 birthday. The day I came to age. First I thought I went crazy, from to much stress or a mental disorder. I was to scared to tell anyone, even my parents.

And now It's hard to communicate. Because I am scared of the black ones, and I do not see allot of colored ones. And if I do, the are people around or if I approach one of the colored ones they disappear. It make me sad, do they not like me or are the scared? I would be scared if a big creature came to me.

And not able to make contact for 2 months. And I'm able the see them for almost a year now.

As I walk to home from collage I see al lot of them, more than usual. And of course I think nothing of it. So I walk further to my home.

And then, I felt something on my neck. I was terrified, slowly I turned around. Fully turn around, I could nearly held by scream in. There in the air, right in front of me. A light blue creature. With huge eyes I looked at it, and I t stared a me.

It was a Yokai. It had the form of a doll. With a dress that the same color. It opened its mouth.

"Hello, I'm Dello. Do you want to be friends?"

I smiled, and nodded. I made my first Yokai friend.
