Chapter 2
Tonight I meet a real life ghost most people would be ecstatic to know that after all the stories and sightings that they exist but I don’t feel ecstatic I feel afraid that everything that I thought was make believe turned out to be real.
I knock on the door and then open it and walk into the room. The room is dark but there are candles lit so that I can see where I’m walking.
“Hello Elijah...are you in here?” I look around the room to see if I can spot him but I can’t and a chill goes through my whole body.
“I know you’re in here!”
“Smart girl” A voice whispers and it feels like a gentle breeze blowing in my ear.
“Where are you? Show yourself!”
“You should never shout at a ghost girl and are you sure you want me to reveal myself?”
“Yes I’m positive”
“You know us ghosts we like to play games....how about a game of hide and seek?”
“Ok”
“Come and find me” the voice whispers and the door slams shut behind me making me even more terrified. “Did you ever think that you’d be in the room with a real life ghost?”
“No I honestly never did”
“Ah you’re one of those people”
“One of what people?”
“The people who don’t believe in the unseen...now let’s play”
“I don’t know where you are!”
“Take a wild guess”
“Your by the door”
“Colder than ice sweetheart”
“I can’t see you...no one can see ghosts and Oh my word I’m talking to a ghost” I rake my fingers through my hair and sigh. I think I’m going crazy yesterday I just found out that everything from movies and books are real.
“Look a little closer”
I shake my head and close my eyes and then open them again and that’s when I see him. I see a ghost for the very first time in my life and then I do what any normal person would do ...I scream.
“I can see you!” I shout trying to make myself believe that this isn’t real and has all been just a horrible dream.
“What do I look like?”
“Your circling like a vulture could please stop I think I’m going to faint”
“No I won’t stop and if you faint you’ll fall straight into my arms...now describe me”
“Why?”
“Because I can never look in a mirror...I don’t know what I look like”
“Oh...you’re tall, blonde white hair that touches your shoulders, the whitest teeth I’ve ever seen and wait you’re blind”
He claps his hands at me and laughs “And now she catches on the joke. I can’t see myself because I was born blind...am I attractive?” he asks me and then starts feeling my face and hair.
“I suppose”
He laughs at me “Well if I could see you Anastasia I would say you’re beautiful even though I can’t see you I still say you’re beautiful”
“Eh thank you I guess”
“I’m afraid this meeting slash date is over”
He starts to walk to the door and opens it motioning for me to leave.
“Wait that’s it?”
“For now...I’ll let Mrs Baker know that I have an acquired interest in you but for now goodbye Anastasia”
And just like that Elijah is gone.
