Emily

Wednesday, June 5

My life has been turned upside down. My parents are dead, and my only sister has turned on me. Of course you might not already know but, I'm dead. Some animal like creature ripped me apart, all under Abbys control. That man, Colin, he was working with her, but like me, she turned on him. Of course I felt nothing for him, as he was the man who killed my parents. But being here now, watching them down below, I felt sorry for Abby. She had been lured into his trap. This vacation was supposed to be fun, not murderous. The old man who lived in the ceiling, I'll never forget this.

As their fight continued, I could see them at any angle I wanted, but they would never know I was there. I could every mean word that escaped Abbys lips. My ghost heart dropped, realizing this was her, not someone controlling her. Colin was cowered below Abby at her feet.

"You may have had power before, but you're nothing now. Just a scared little worm," Abby said. She snapped her fingers, and just like that, Colin was gone.

"Where did he go?" The other man asked.

"Somewhere far away. Somewhere where we will never have to worry about him ever again." Even though I was dead, I could still feel the cool breeze of the wind. Abby was suddenly lifted into the air as the wind blew harder, whipping her around like a merry-go-round.

"That wasn't the plan, Abigail," the man who I did not recognize spoke. His face filled with anger as he lifted Abby higher in the air. "My son was not supposed to get hurt, you promised. Where is he!" He screamed. Abbys own screams filled the air as her bones broke one by one. "Tell me where he is, Abby! Tell me!" He flung her body across the path, smacking into a tree. I could hear her cries as she desperately tried to get away.

"This is what happens to bad little girls when they don't behave," he said. Her screams attracted many people from the town and they ran down the path over to her. They paid no attention to me or the man. The police came running down too. Handcuffs ready to arrest. The man tried to run, but was caught by one the people trying to save Abby.
