The Cursed and the Wicked

The Reaper and the Outcast pt. 11

"So how exactly are we going to catch a ghost? How are you sure he is still around here?" Hyung asked curiously.

"I have been keeping tabs on the spirit that killed me. I was able to see him once I become a spirit. Like how he stalked Bahati, I stalk him now". Do Hyun answered Hyung, hoping that he could hear him, since it was obvious that he couldn't see him.

Hyung heard him perfectly fine.

"So you know exactly where to find him now?" Hyung asked.

" Can you show us?" Bahati asked.

Do Hyun nodded his head.

"Yes I can, follow me. He has possessed a poor guy to hide himself from reapers". Do Hyun said, looking at Jae.

"Not anymore". Jae said.

"Wait, how come the reapers didn't take you away?" Bahati asked.

"Like you, I made a deal with one of them. Once I get avenged, then I will come willingly". Do Hyun answered her.

Everybody ended up following Do Hyun to an apartment complex not far from where they were. Up on the fourth floor, is where their target was. The only problem? How to get rid of the spirit without hurting the human it occupies?

Bahati never had to deal with possessions before, but she also never had a reaper by her side as well.

"How are we supposed to do this?" Hyung asked Bahati and Jae.

Jae merely took out his staff again from when he and Bahati first met. Bahati grinned as she looked at it.

"Great idea Jae!" She told him, making him smirk.

"What's a great idea?" Hyung asked confused.

"Jae has a staff that can push spirits out of the human they are possessing without actually hurting the human". Bahati explained.

"That is great and convenient". Hyung replied.

The group made their way up to the fourth floor, ready to attack when they needed to. Just in case the spirit knew they were coming somehow.

Do Hyun fazed through and unlocked the front door from the inside and the group was welcomed with a foul, ghastly odor. Bahati and Hyung had to cover their mouths and nose with their arms to block the stench.

Jae and Do Hyun can't smell anything, so they weren't affected.

"What is that smell?" Hyung asked.

"Like death". Bahati answered, looking around the apartment.

That is, until she found a trail of blood that led her straight to the guy they were looking for. He was already dead, wound to his gut from a knife that he held in his dominant hand.

"I found the stench". She said getting everybody else's attention.

"Was that the evil spirit's doing?" Hyung asked, appalled of the scene.

"Yes", Jae said. "It has his evil energy residue all over this body". "It's strong".

"Where's the spirit of this poor young man?" Bahati asked.

"Passed over already". Jae said. "I can sense the energy of another reaper here".

"Good", Bahati sighed in relief. "He isn't wandering around then".

"How are we supposed to catch this spirit now?" Hyung asked.

"I don't know". Bahati said.
