Secret World

Chapter 2

Monique
"Morg, what should I do? In these times I really needs you.." I mumbled to myself. Morgan has always been a sister I could depend on everytime I'm having a hard time. Morgan was a loving, brave, clever and beautiful; the best sister I could ever have. Morgan married James, the guy she dated since high school -they are completely head over heels with each other. Then they got Maddy.

It's been 13 years since Morgan and James died in a car crash. Maddy was 7. Since then I have been getting custody of Maddy. Morgan used to bring Maddy along whenever she visits me in California. At first Maddy was quiet around me, because she became awkward and shy whenever she met faces she did not recognize. Then after a few visit, she tends to tag along whenever I'm doing something. Especially when I'm baking her favourite chocolate chip cookies.

"Hey Mique, you know what...the other day Maddy told me she can see ghosts.." I gave Morgan a suspicious look. "Is this one of your attempts to scare me?" Then I gave her a smirk. "Oh I wish it would scare you...but listen Mique, honestly I thought she was talking nonsense but now me and James think it was true." Morgan looked anxious. I stopped to gave her a confused look. "What made you say that?" I held her hands to calm her down. Suddenly she turned to a serious face "Do you know anyone that could help? I'm serious. I'm worried about her." I turned around to look at Maddy and I saw James; also looking at me desperately, asking for help.

"Maddy, what are doing outside honey, it's raining." She didn't move. She just stands there; outside the house looking at something. "Honey, it's raining, come on in." She still did not moved an inch. I went outside to get her. "What are you doing outside. You're gonna get sick you know." Finally she turned her face to look at me. "Oh my God!...James!! James!" I called James. There was blood came out from Maddy's eyes and nose. She just looked at me with no emotion at all. James quickly ran towards my direction. "Maddy!...Morgan, what just happened??" I can't answered him as I was crying in fear. How can I not noticed a thing. Maddy just stand there, still looking at me then turned around to look at James. James carried her to the car and we went to the hospital. The doctor said she was fine. "She might be tired or dehydrated. Does she has fever for the past few days?" I was confused. "No..but if she's just tired or dehydrated why blood came out of her eyes and nose..?" I looked at James. He was also as confused as I was. The doctor looked at me; absurd. Then he looked at the paper he was holding, probably Maddy's. "I'm sorry Mrs. Skye, there is no blood coming out from her eyes or nose." Me and James looked at each other. We definitely saw what just happened. There was blood. We rushed to see Maddy. She was sleeping on the hospital bed. No blood at all. Even her clothes which has stains of blood before; clean. We left the hospital; puzzled. Is it just me seeing things? But James saw it too. We went back home without saying any word.

I glanced at Morgan few times. She was also looking puzzled as I am. What did just happened? Then I glanced at Maddy who was sleeping at the back. When we arrived at home, I held our daughter and asked her carefully as I fear that it could startled her, "Maddy, do you know what just happened.? Do you feel sick or pain anywhere..?" She looked at me. "Oh, we went to the hospital right? Dad, is mom sick?" I was surprised. She looked like she remembered nothing that just happened to her. Then Morgan asked her, "Honey, what were you doing outside when it was raining? Do you saw something..?" Maddy turned quiet. We were waiting patiently for her answer. Then she looked at us, "I saw a friend. She asked me if I could give my body to her. Cause shes dead."
