Red Dress

Eight

"Casey. You are guilty of murder and attempted murder! You will serve twenty years in jail. Case closed!" The judge bashed his hammer thing.
"Ok..." Casey said.
She walked over to the police officer who cuffed her and took her away.
I watched Casey walk away with sad eyes.
And then I saw her in the corner of the room.
Her white dress soaked with blood.
"Mau!" I whispered.
By now everyone was looking at her.
I sat in shock.
"Oh my Irene!" Jane mumbled.
"Is that sissy?" Jesse asked.
"Uhu!" I nodded.
Jesse nodded and just stared.
"That's right. I'm back!" Mau said.
"I only half crossed over, like you mum." Mau said.
"How did you know?" I asked.
"When you are dead, other dead beings stand out." Mau explained.
"Oh, right." I said.
"How are you dead and able to have kids?" Jesse asked.
"How come you didn't TELL your kids?!" Fire said in shock and anger.
"I didn't want to scare you. I know you are into that stuff but you don't need to be told that your mother is dead and living with you as a ghost!" I shouted.
I got up and stormed out of the court.
"Skylar! Wait!" Gale called running after me.
"Now look what you've done!" I heard Kayla say annoyed to Fire.
"Skylar!" Gale caught up to me.
"What?" I asked.
"It isn't that bad!" Gale said.
"Yes it is! Now everyone knows I'm a ghost!" I said.
"It doesn't matter! They won't think anything of it!" Gale tried to calm me.
It isn't working.
"She should have kept that to herself! Now the kids will be asking questions!" I said getting angrier.
"It wasn't her fault! She must've thought you'd told the other girls!" Gale said.
"No." Was my reply.
I walked off.
I can't deal with this right now!
