Chapter 4

••Ashton's POV••

'So where were you last night?'

Michael asks, we're all in out dorm, we got the rest of the day off after finding Hazel. She's being returned to her family as we speak.

'What? Oh, I err....' I wrack my brain for something to say. I don't like lying to them, but no one would understand why I won't send Hazel over yet, I don't want to force her, she needs to go by her own free will. When she finds her Cause and completes it, then she'll be able to leave. Anyway, I want to get to know her as well.

'I was um.....I was back up here, I left my....my coat?' I say, though rather questioningly.

'Really?' Luke asks,

'Yeah, totally.' I reply with more confidence this time. Seeming to accept my answer, Michael changes the subject.

'So,' He says, 'What do you think of the corpse?'

'Oh god! Please don't!' Luke groans, turning grey again. Calum snorts and rolls his eyes,

'Wuss.'

'Piss off.' Luke says angrily,

'I'm sorry if the sight and thought of a rotten corpse makes me want to be sick.' He gets up and walks out, and he passes me, I notice tears in his eyes.

'What crawled up his arse and died?' Calum asks.

'I'm not sure about something crawling up his arse,' Michael says, 'But he found out earlier that they found his dad's body, it was in similar condition to the body Ash found earlier.'

'Oh fuck!' Calum says, 'I had no idea, oh shit!' Luke's dad's been missing for the past three months, no one knew where he went, obviously they know where he is now.

'Poor Luke.' I say, 'No wonder he reacted like that to the body of that girl.' Michael as Calum both give me strange looks,

'How do you know it was a girl?' Calum asks, 'The body was unrecognisable.'

'Crap, you idiot Ashton!'

'Her clothes.' I say quickly, 'I doubt a guy would wear a t shirt with 'Death to Barbie' written on it.' I explain.

Calum smiles slightly,

'I guess so.' Michael says.

'C'mon,' Calum tells us, getting up,

'Let's go find Luke, I need to apologise for being a twat.'

••Hazel's POV••

I watch as Ashton runs over to my body, shouting. His classmates all follow him and a couple of the girls begin screaming once they see it. One of the boys he was walking with goes a rather unpleasant colour and then throws up against a tree. I'll admit I'm not exactly looking my best, but that's slightly excessive.

I watch their teacher tell Ashton to go and get someone and as he runs off, the man tells the rest of the class to go back up to the school. As they go, the other two of Ashton's friends helping the one who threw up walk. Before they can leave, the teach calls one of them back,

'Calum, come here please.' The boy, Calum, walks over,

'Sir?' He asks,

'Calum, could you go and get the caretaker? We might need Sampson's help.'

'Err, yeah sure.' He says, before jogging off in the same direction as Ashton.

A few minutes later, a man walks into the clearing. His back to me so I can't see his face, but as he speaks to the teacher, his voice is all to familiar.

'Yes Mr Watson?' He asks.

'Oh god! Please don't let it be him!'

Me Watson points to my body,

'The paramedics are on their way, but they may need some help. Can you please cordon off this area and wait for them to arrive, the student Ashton Irwin will be bringing them here.'

'Yes of course.' He says, turning to my corpse. When he sees it, his eyes widen slightly. He knows that it's me,

'Well of course he does Hazel, he's the one who fucking murdered you and dragged you out into these woods! Jesus Christ you're stupid.'

Why the caretaker? Did it really have to be the caretaker? That's one of the most clique things ever, great. I look up to see that the teacher, Mr Watson, that boy Calum called him, has gone. It's just him with some yellow tape wrapping it around the surrounding trees. As he walks towards me, I wonder if he's done what he did to me to anyone else. Maybe I was the only one. I doubt it though, you hear about people like him, who go around killing people, not to mention the other things he did to me.

He gets closer, then I remember,he must be a Necromancer! He works up at the school and to prevent some ghosts from messing with things, he'll have to be able to see them. Fuck!

I squeeze my eyes shut, maybe I can become invisible? I haven't exactly discovered the extent of my ghostly powers yet and by the looks of it, I won't be working them out any time soon.

'Shitshitshitshitshit!' I dither on the spot for a few second. If he finds me, I'm dea- no wait, that's already happened....well I'll be screwed for sure. He'll do a Necromancer thing and I'll probably be trapped somewhere forever, I'll just be stuck in Limbo or something, fuck!

'Wow you are an idiot Hazel,' I tell myself,

'You can do that teleporty thing remember!'

I close my eyes and imagine disappearing. I feel like I'm evaporating for a second before my feet land on the ground lightly. But as I go, I hear his voice saying,

'What the?'

Oh crap! Did he see me? Oh crappy crap crap! I look up and see I'm in a corridor, oh come on! I'm in the fucking school? Well this just keeps on getting better. Oh wait, there's more! Someone's coming round the corner, well I'm screwed.
