My Ghost Boy

~Chapter 4~ My Weird Boss

After my third day of working at the library, I've noticed my boss following me and I've checked the security cameras and sometimes they're off. This is starting to worry me, I don't know why but I just don't trust him. My shift is almost over, I just have to mop the floors then I can leave.

I walk into the supply closet, looking for the mop and bucket, when I hear a door shut behind me. I get a wave of chills down my spine and I feel my muscles stiffin. I turn around and see my boss standing there with the light reflecting on him, causing his face to look dark. "Can I help you, sir?" I ask and I see him grin and nod his head as he walks closer to me and I back into the wall. "What're you doing?" I ask and then I feel his hands grab my wrists and I struggle to try and get them out. "Let me go!" I scream. He narrows his eyes at me and says, "No one can help you, there's nobody here." I feel his knee on my stomach pressing very hard, I cry out in agony and thrash around. I will not stop fighting. He pushes harder causing my mouth to open wide to breathe. His hand cups over my mouth and I feel something slide down my throat.

I want to fight but I feel so tired and I can barely lift my head up. I can't go to sleep, but sleeping sounds so good. "Please don't." I mumble as I feel his hands tugging on my pants. He's going to take away my innocence. He's robbing me of my innocence. Before I know it, the darkness consumes me.

Joseph's Point Of View

I'm walking through the book shelves as I'm waiting invisibly for Ken's shift to end like I do everyday. I always stay with her at work and walk her home invisibly. The reason I do it that way is because I like to observe her, I hope that doesn't sound creepy. She intrigues me more than anybody ever, the way she walks and speaks and sleeps. I wonder where she is, it usually doesn't take her this long to get the mop.

I sit down on a table when I hear her terrified scream causing me to jump to my feet and appear. "Hey!" I yell as I run to the back. Where is she?? "Ken!" I yell in panick. This scream sounded like she was in danger and she was scared. "Makenzie!!" I run through the hall when I hear commotion in the closet. I open it to find Mr. Williamson pulling down the pants of Makenzie's unconscious body. He drugged her. Anger rushes through my veins as I grab the collar of his shirt and pull it to me. I punch him as hard as I can in the nose, hoping it breaks. He looks at me, "How did you get in here?" He asks and I respond with another punch to his eye. His nose is pouring blood and he frowns and punches me in the eye. "You've messed with the wrong person." I say through gritted teeth and punch him one more time in the temple, knocking him out. I throw him on the ground.

I look at Makenzie and sigh and pick her up and look her over her to make sure she's ok. I run my fingers through her hair, she must've been so scared. I kiss her forehead and carry her outside as I plot of what to say to her parents. I need to tell them what happened even if she hates me for the rest of her life, that perverted jerk needs to go to jail. I arrive at our house and knock on the door but no answer. I knock a couple more times when I realize they're both at work. I teleport us to our room. I lay her small fragile body on the bed and put a blanket over her.

She's gonna have an awful head ache when she wakes up, maybe a cold washcloth will help. I get her one and lay it gently on her head, I wish I could just erase her memory of that man. I lay beside her and watch her as she sleeps.

Makenzie's Point of View

I wake up to a pounding on my head and a wet feeling on my forehead. I touch my head to find a wet washcloth on there and I open my eyes slowly and see my curtains are closed. Thank goodness they're closed, but I usually keep them open. Then I get the realization of what happened. Mr. Williamson drugged me and took away my innocence. I start sobbing into my pillow. He robbed me! "Makenzie." I hear a soft voice say and I shake my head as I sob. I feel cold arms wrap around me and pull my close to a hard chest. I cry into his chest and say, "He robbed me." He shakes his head and kisses the top of my head, "No he didn't." He says and I look at him confused and he replies, "I stopped him."

I stare into his eyes and ask, "How?" He stares at me for a second and then says, "Everyday you went to work, I would stay with you invisibly." I'm astonished and so happy. So so happy. I smile and hug him tightly and he hugs me back. I do something I wasn't even expecting. I lean my head up and kiss his cheek and whisper, "Thank you." I can see the shock in his eyes as he smiles. Yes Jo, I just kissed your cheek. I know, I'm shocked too.
