Dazed Energy

chapter 4

"I'm sorry I can't help you".

"you have to please!"

I began to feel pain and sadness and guilt and some other mixed emotions also. "Fine" I said starting my car .i drove off and headed home.

"So um what exactly do you need help with" I asked Chris.

"a lot" he said driftly

.I made a complete stop on a green light because someone was crossing the road. There are cars honking at me screaming

"What are you doing!!?"

I felt energy drift alongside the windows.it was the dead who had been crossing the street. I pulled forward and finally reached my house. I couldn't handle all of this .it enhanced more than it should have; my physic ability had gotten worse. I'm seeing more dead than usual as a matter of act it's so bad I feel like I'm the dead. I get out my car and I turn around and of course as usual Brandon is moping outside bouncing a basketball in front of my neighbor's house. His neighbor actually killed him and got away with it and he still sticks around, I am not sure why though. I think the year was 2009 or something

."Hey Karina, how was your day?" Brandon says as usual.

"Not so great because look who I am stuck with "I replied pointing at Chris.

Brandon laughed and gestured "looks like you have a quite desperate soul", he says shaking his head.

"Well at least I travel not stick around washed up old places "Chris sighted back.

Brandon smirked and continued playing basketball. My mom opens the door without me even knocking and says

"Oh Karina who have you brought home this time!"

She says ever so slightly holding sage.

Chris hides behind me and whispers

"you think she can see me from behind here"

I could feel his cold hands touching my neck and the sweet sensation in his voice.

"Hmm, hiding behind my back is the worst place you can hide ahah at least manifest into something else"

. We both laughed with each other.

"Oh I see, the spirit is your, um, friend perhaps?"

My mom adds.

"Guess I won't be needing this ..."

She puts the sage away smiling and giving me that look of suspiciousness. We finally step into the house and I wave at my brother and say

"I missed you! You need to stop by more!"

"Yea ya know I can only come once in a while ", he half smiles

. I hug him and want to cry but I don't because I know I'll see him probably next month or so, maybe sooner

."Anyways remember that time at camp I stole all your guys blankets!" he shouts laughing so hard

Next to mother and they both hug each other and he looks to the side, and I could see a white tunnel perhaps, and he signals us that it's time for him to go. We both hug him one last time and he manifests into the tunnel and the tunnel closes. My brother died in 2008, he was at a house party till someone, barged right in and starting shooting carelessly, demanding drugs and my brother, 18, happened to be one of the victims. It was a tough time and still is even though we still see him here and there, whenever his can. Mom is still frozen and begins to sigh then walks into her room.

I run into my room and crash on the bed and hug my cat saying in a high baby voice

"Aww my little kernaaalllll did you Miss Meee" my cat looks at me then looks at Chris and hisses, leaving the room.

I guess you could say animals know right away when someone is a spirit; my cat always does, along with me as well
