It's Already Inside You | Soul Eater

16 || The "Ghost"

I was terrified of restaurants now. Does Maka and Tsubaki really run up to people and tell them how amazing they are? What did I do to them?

I stretch out and curl back into a ball on my uncomfortable bed in the basement. Noises were heard throughout the room. I was used to this already. It's better than the treatment I got at home, to be honest. 

Suddenly, my door bursts open. I feel a bit violated when I see that the figure standing there is Black Star. I wasn't wearing a lot, only a short night dress that exposed a lot of skin. (and scars)

"B-Black...Star?" I mumble groggily, trailing off at the end. 

"GHOST!" Black Star screams, startling me a bit. I jump off my bed and land on the cold stone floor. "OH, SORRY! WERE YOU SLEEPING?"

I shook my head, lying completely. 

"Wh-what do you mean, ghost?" I ask, rubbing my tired eyes.

Black Star stomped into my room without invitation. I do not like this Black Star. He is one scary dude. Not to mention, he's disturbing my time to sleep.

"YOU ARE LIVING WITH A GHOST!" he bellows, making the dust fall off the musty furniture. I jump again on the floor and shiver.

"H-how do you-?" I begin, but he cuts me off.

"HOW DO I KNOW?" he yells. "BECAUSE OF THE NOISE, THAT'S WHY!"

I was starting to get a little annoyed. I want to sleep! I don't do so well without it. I want him to get out of my room. It'll be nice and quiet...

"Well, how do you get rid of it?" I inquire tiredly. The stone floor was so cold on my skin. I shiver some more and feel goosebumps form on my limbs.

"YOU HAVE ME TERRORIZE IT, OF COURSE!" Black Star boasts. "I'M SO BIG HE'S SURE TO BE INTIMIDATED!"

"H-how are you going to do that?" I sigh as his expression changes to a much more discouraged looking one.

"I don't know," he replies, in a much quieter voice than before. 

"Go see!" I say anxiously. I do not need this so called "ghost" hurting me.

Black Star instantly gets his energy up and runs out the room. I sigh and pull myself off the ground. I only have time to put on a grey robe before Black Star makes his appearence again.

"OMG I'M SO FRIGGIN SCARED!" he screams.

I hold a finger to my lips and stick my head out the door to see the stone hallway. Black Star shoves me out and I stumble into the hall, slamming into the wall.

"COME ON!" he yells. "I'LL SHOW YOU!!"

I glare at him, fed up. But he seizes my hand and yanks me anyways. He pulls me up the stone steps and into a much more inviting and lit hallway. I think this is the main hallway of the school.

I look all around, then hear a moaning sound. I jump and Black Star screams, which ripped through the slience. 

"You can't escape," a derranged and demented voice growls. I whip around and find none other than Professor Sid standing in the hallway.

"You can't escape," he says again, then his tone seriously brightens. "Without me laughing at you!!"

He starts to laugh super hard. I look at him, puzzled, and Black Star balls his fists.

"YOU MEAN IT WAS YOU THE WHOLE TIME!?" he screams. Sid chuckles and nods his head.

"I really am sort of like a ghost!" he says. "When I was alive, I was that kind of man. The kind who joked around this way."

Black Star rolls his eyes and I back away. How is he alive if he died? That's strange...

Black Star suddenly runs at the zombie teacher and swings, but misses. The man fights back and I yawn and turn away, wanting to go to sleep.

I've had enough of this so called 'Ghost',
