Secret World

Chapter 4

If aunt Monique ever finds out, she's so gonna kill me! I thought. Why did I agreed to help Blondie out. Why should I get into trouble for helping a ghost? I don't even know where to start. Should I go to the police and asks "Hello officer, has any girl with blonde hair and a red scarf on her head around here died from a gunshot on her chest?" The police gonna think that I'm a suspicious person. I probably gonna get caught and sent to jail as a murderer. Oh God...people don't know how scary ghosts in jails are! They are evil and vicious ghosts and even pervs ones. But nevermind, please don't ask why on earth did I know these things. Think, Maddy think! My head went blank. I jumped lazily on my bed. For now I don't want to think about it.

"Maddy! Maddy!" I heard a woman's voice calling my name. Slowly I opened my eyes. It was Blondie's. "What are you doing here..? You're in my house..!" Shocked, I almost scream at her. "Umm..yes, but not quite. Because this is a dream. Basically, I just entered your dream." Geez! Now it's the blondie ghost who disturbs my dreams after the headless and almost dislocate arms woman gone. Great, now I'm starting to admit that I really am a freak after all. "Maddy, did you find out anything about me? I just want to ask you that and it has been days." She looked at me with pleading eyes. "No...Listen, umm actually I don't think I'm suitable for this task you see...I'm just a 15 years old girl who can't get into trouble unless if I really want to be killed by my own aunt." I brace myself up to tell her that. She turned quiet. I felt a strong feeling of guilt. But I couldn't force any words out from my mouth to comfort her. "I'm really sorry, Maddy for asking you such hard tasks. But you see, I think I won't be here -in this world for long." I looked at her with guilt. She looked so sad. Then I noticed -her left hand is starting to fade. "I just couldn't go back just like this. I want to find my name. I want to save that person."

"...that person?" Finally I opened my mouth. "What do you mean by saving that person?" I asked her again. Tears of blood running down her face. But it did not scares me. I felt a hint of pain in my chest seeing her cry. I hugged her. Then I wipe the blood tears off her face. "I just remember his voice. I can't even remember his face, nor his name. But I know in my heart he's someone really important to me. He needs my help, and I want to help him so much I could do anything." She sounded desperate. Probably someone whom she loved when she was alive. I just couldn't say no. She is my only friend. The only one who is always happy to see my face. Who accepted my freak self when nobody couldn't. I'm sure aunt Monique will understand. She loves me after all.

"Alright. But you must help me too. This is too hard to do just by myself. But together,we might find out something." Blondie looked at me with tears still left on her face. "I don't know how to repay you, Maddy. But really, thank you so much."

And that's how everything start.
