My guardian angel

"LADY IN A WHITE DRESS"

Darren's POV

A loud "bang" was heard and everybody inside the hotel started to panic. My cousin was tailing behind me when the people got our way and squeeze us in the middle. I look back to find my cousin drifting away from me as he call my name. He was being push by the group of people. While someone grab my hand and pull me to the opposite side.

"This way kid!" The man said. I was hesitating but he force me to follow him (cause he was pulling my hand)  so I was lead to the other side of the room. Where people was in a panic mode but silent. Others praying. We reach a big hall with only a couple of people here. Maybe 6 to 8 only. I gasp for air as he let go of my hand. I bend and hold my knees for support.

"Let's close the door!" A guy shouted and everybody agree except for me. My eyes widen I turn around and some group of man push the heavy wooden door.

"No! Wait! I'm suppose to be out there with my team!" I said but they close the door already.

"It's okay kid.. Your safe here. who ever's out there won't be able to come in here.." He said as he pat my shoulder and sat with the others.

I'm so in trouble. I check my pockets for my phone when I remember it's with my cousin! How can I contact them right now?

I sigh and walk to the corner as I slide down to sat, my head was also leaning.. I look at them as they make a circle and pray. I cover my face with my hands and rub them and mess my hair.

I guess I'll wait till this people decide to leave this hall. I scan the place and it looks like a hall for parties. It was spacious and a chandelier was hanging in the very center like a upside down layer cake shimmering in a yellow color making it look like gold.

It was very quiet people praying silently. Not to mention very awkward. I mean there starting to recognize me as they struggle to grab there phones. Whispering to one another.. I bow my head and tilt it to the other side. I'm staring at the close door. Maybe hoping that someone will open it.

---angel's POV---

"Darren's missing!"

I turn around to face the hotel. People panicking. Some got out and some return to there rooms but there's this group of people wearing black polo shirt in a very panic mode. It's like their looking for someone.

Darren.

Maybe it wasn't dayin at all. I misheard it! It's Darren! Darren Espanto! The reason why the fangirls are wearing green t-shirts! Why didn't I get that?!

I ran to the hotel and tiptoe to see the crowd but no sign of him.

I inhale and close my eyes. Everything went slow mo.

Natalie... I called out.

Then the same feeling of wind came.

"Go straight, then left.. There's a wooden door there." She said. When I open my eyes everything went normal.

"He's not answering.." Said a guy he has no hair at all.

"It's because his phone is with me! We should call the guards and told them to look for him.." Guy two said phone on his ear.

"Their too busy outside!" The guy with no hair said.

I look for a parchment to write on and found a white paper with a marker on the side.

Perfect.

I instantly wrote on it not bothering if humans can see a floating writing marker on it's own, as long as I tell them where he is I don't care.

Darren's inside the wooden door on the left..

I wrote and slip it on the guy in a green t shirt. He startled as I piece of paper slide on to his hand. his face became white for a second when he open the paper relief was shown on his face.

"Guys! I think I know where Darren is!" He shouted and everybody followed him as he ran and make their way.

I stood there for a moment. Waiting if Darren was with them this time. And thank heavens he was. He was smiling awkwardly and somehow I think he was relief to be back.

And for a moment I thought our eyes met. I counted how many seconds it was.

He turn his gaze to the guy on his right side. He smiled a little and face me again. But I know he can't see me. I walk away but when I heard him shout I stop dead in my track.

"Hey lady in a white dress!" He shouted. I look around for a girl in a white dress but none. My dead heart starts to beat fast again, my eyes widen. I want to turn around and face him but something inside me don't want to. Maybe scared if he founds out what I was. What I am.

I ran and just in time the guard open the door making it look like I just past by him. I even heard the guard said.

"Aircon ang lamig"

I stop for a moment tempting to turn around.

Run.

My subconscious said. I close my eyes as my fist start to roll.. I really want to turn around. Hoping that I was the lady in a white dress.

Run.

It said again. My left foot moved forward but I can't seem to bring my whole body to.

Run for it!

It screamed and now I'm running towards the other side.

When I reach there I turn around but I can't really make out if his staring at me. Somehow I want to cry. I'm so weak. I can't face my weakness.

Being disappointed.

Tears were now rolling on my cheeks. Yes. I really hate being disappointed. I'm so hopeful that when it turns upside down it's like a shattering glass.

I'm scared of the dark
My weakness is being disappointed
And I'm a cry baby.

I read those books where they bully the weak ones and in the end they find there courage as they encounter those experience. How about me? When will I toughen up? I know I have a simple weakness but the impact to me is like being hit with a bulldozer.

You already know why I'm afraid of the dark.

I wipe my tears using the back of my palm. I'm not suppose to cry. Or I'll attract dark ghost. But I'm safe. It's not dark yet. The sun is still rising although it's 2:12pm in the afternoon already. But nah.

The bank robbery was finish. The police officers handle the mission finely. They catch the thief and cuffs his hands on the back as they force him to duck to avoid hitting his head when his entering the police car.

I thought I'm gonna lost my self a bench there. That's my favorite bench you know! The streetlight was just half a meter away from my bench so I'm perfectly secured from those dark ghost.

On the other hand the fans of Darren left when the incident happened. I walk towards my bench and sat there. Waiting for the sunset to come..

Oh wait! My color prediction! I'm going to evaporate 3 times!

I run to the middle of the street as I felt the first car that hit my gassy body.
