The Cursed Phantom

CHAPTER 9 - The Funeral

It was the day of the funeral, it's been few days since the death of Gabriel. The town folks who knew the family decided to attend the funeral, everyone who attended wore full black attires. Amber tied her thick dark brown hair into a pony tail and wore a black armless top with black jeans trouser and her all star shoe , Davis combed his hair in the style of a French man ,with a black tuxedo and their mother Barbara wore a black hat that had a black net that covers her face and wore gloves on her hands with a long black gown .
Amber stood next to an oak tree in the cemetery, thoughts wondered in her head. She thought of how she and her father didn't get along when he was alive even in his last moments, She didn't tell him what her feelings towards him truly were.
Davis watched as a strange girl with red hair and geek glasses, putting on a black short arm gown and wearing beads walked towards Amber, his thoughts were "Haven't seen her around before, but I guess she's good".
"Hey, Amber, Uhm... Sorry for your loss..." said the girl with a little smile.
"(sniffs her nose and fakes a smile)... Thanks... I guess" Amber replied.
"Hmm, I'm not really good with words, but you can either decide to face your demons or cry over the dead" she spoke.
"Am sorry...Who are you again? I don't remember asking for a speech" Amber still fake smiled wondering where she came from.
"Okay I'm sorry...uhm... How about I introduce myself. I'm Deby Garden nice to meet you". Said with a smile on her face and eyes closed.
"Okay Deby, apology half accepted."  Amber gave a slight nod.
"Hahaha, you're pretty fun. I hope you get back on your feet soon, even though you are already standing but you know what I mean, I’m just..." She got interupted and Amber gave a little sigh of relief since she just spoke real fast which was weird since all she said made no sense.
"Hello pretty lady, and Deby" The guy who interupted grinned then rolled his eyes at Debt. He had blond hair and green eyes, tall and perfect smile, he definitely looked like Bieber.  "Amber Monroe, Scott Count, pleased to meet you". He still gave that smile and thrust his hand out for a handshake.
"I...Guess I don't need to introduce myself then" she shook him.
Davis walked towards them
"Scott, I've told you that you're friends with me and not my sister". He spoke in a harsh tone.
"Chill out bro, you al'aiit". Said Scott with an arched brow, Amber gave a half smile before Barbara spoke
"Amber. Davis. It's time to say the farewell speeches" she said, they couldn't tell if she was even smiling, amber knew how sad her mom was that was why the net was needed. She gave a nod and left the rest walking first .
She coughed looking at the crowd "uh..Dad, my Father, Gabriel Monroe, he was a great man... Always there for his family... Always there for me... But...but I wasn't there for him..." She paused and looked up towards the house with a fierce face. "I'm going to have vengeance for his death. I promise him that" she walks away from the cemetery. Davis and Barbara exchanged looks understanding what she meant.
Davis sighed and walked up "well, it's my turn to speak, to share my thoughts, to share everything... Dad was my role model, he was everything I dreamt of becoming, bold, awesome, amazing, the greatest father and now he left us sooner than we expected so I will help him by being around for my family now that he's gone, I will help my family, may his soul rest in peace "

It was 4pm,the funeral was finished and people were returning to their homes, Dr. Dragrant approached Barbara.
"I want to give you my condolences, even though I only knew your husband for a short while, he was a good man and if you need any help I'll be glad." Dr. Dragrant gave a smile at her
"Thank you very much " she smiled back
"We can have some coffee sometime, see you soon and goodnight"
"Goodnight Doctor" Barbara blinked severally at the coffee part? Was he serious? She just lost her husband and is already being asked out? She gave a disgusted face at him once he left.
As they walk away both going opposite directions.
