Genesis: book 1 COMPLETED

Chapter 4: Not A Ghost

(This pic is of Jess.)

Once I figured out I was being stalked, I got in a criss cross position and closed my eyes. After a few moments a reopened them they turned from dark green to a glowing red as I scanned the area for ghosts. I only found three, which were all my friends, so I became confused. Was my stalker a human?

If it was a ghost, that would be no problem. Ghost usually come to check me out, think Im possessed, and leave. But if the stalker wasn't one...

I frowned. This was not good. I walked into my bathroom and looked in the mirror.

Staring back in the mirror was my own reflection, with shaggy brown hair that hung over a deep green eyes. I was pale and had no acne whatsoever. For a moment, I thought I saw someone else, but it was gone before I confirmed it.

I gritted my teeth before grabbing my toothbrush and put it in a plastic bag. I went back in my room and put it in the front pocket of my bag before getting in my bed. It wasn't till almost an hour that I was able to go in a restless, troubled sleep.

...

After another day of school, I waited outside of the school's front gate with Jess. I looked at the door to the school again and saw Katie and her friends coming out, laughing and joking around with each other. Once Katie saw me she waved and called me over. I complied.

"Hey Seth! We're all ready to go!" She said happily. I nodded as we walked over to the parking lot where we were greeted by a black limo. A old man in a suit opened the door for us and we all got in.

I knew Katie was rich, but damn.

The limo had about 10 seats in it and a bar full of soda and candy on one side. There was a TV in the corner that showed MTV. I flinched as I took a seat.

We rode down many streets and all the girls kept on chattering about anything and everything. Jess frowned and glared at the girls and I stared at the ground.

"Oh, Seth, that reminds me," Katie said. "I have the plot here if you want to see it." She took out several pieces of paper that was held together by a stapler. Thankful for an excuse not to talk, I gratefully took the papers and began reading.

So apparently, I was going to be the main character and the protagonist. I was making a documentary about haunted places in Louisiana and was interviewing all of the possible sightings, which included katie and several other names I didn't know. Melody and Juliann got it worse, though, as they would be the people who were murdered. As more people died, I found more evidence till it turned out to be, not the ghost like everyone though, but the maid all along. It was good, besides the end, and I nodded.

"I like it," I said as I handed it back to Katie. She beamed.

"Thanks guy," she said.

I smiled back as the limo stopped. The butler opened the door and everyone got out, me being the last as melody pushed me in a seat to get closer to Katie. I frowned but shrugged it off as I got out of the care only to see a boat waiting for us on the docks. I swallowed.

Here we go.
