"Hey" I continued waving so she wont go away coz for a moment she looked like she was gonna bolt off.

"Are you okay?" she asked me when I got close to her" okay so maybe I was behaving a bit scary, I was even panting. I tried smiling but failed miserably. 'Yeah I am fine"

"Okay I was about leaving..." It was clear she was trying to stay far from me.

"I need to talk to you"

"Cant it wait you know I am a bit busy." Lies and I wasn't going to buy it. "I know it was you last night"

She raised one of her eye brow, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Yes I do. You were wearing a black top an your hands were cold"

She looked like she had just see had just seen a ghost for a moment. "ahah it was you then"

"How did you know it was me?" she sighed giving up on her denial. I wasn't so sure about telling her I could sense something was gonna happen or I could switch between two worlds or that I knew about someone when I touched the person. Speaking of touch last time I held her hands I felt something but I didn't have much time to figure it out.

'That's my little secret for now Angie. I cant tell you anything till you tell me everything you know first. Think of it like a trade" if someone had told me one year ago that I'd have the guts to strike a deal with anyone I'd have laughed but here I was making a deal with someone older than I am. I figured she was surprised too even if she was trying to mask it.

"Fine. Follow me"

I did follow her all the way to the place she claimed was her favorite place with different sort of flowers all over. As far as I knew this place that was the most beautiful part of this very creepy hospital. She motioned me to sit on a cemented floor right beside one of the colorful flowers, that was my new special spot. She sat beside me and inhaled deeply like she was gonna give a long speech or something.

"You ready?" she asked me like I was going for a war.

"Okay.... don't freak out but remember the cult activity you saw last night?"

I nodded. "I was a member of that before"

WHAT? I know I looked like I was gonna pass out coz she gave me a pleading look as if begging me not to loose my mind at the spot.

"Don't quote me wrong, I said before. My mother was supposed to sell my soul out but she was so protective of me that she didn't. Instead she sold her grand nephew's soul..."

DID SHE JUST SAY GRAND NEPHEW!!!

"Before you say anything. yes I am your aunty and I am sorry for hiding it away from you...I am sorry bout your brother too...they could be a way outta all this you know" she was already crying. My head began to ache. This whole ramble was getting outta hand and I didn't know what else to think.

"Did my mom know about all these?"

I was answered with a nod and I felt anger making me boil. I thought for a millisecond that I was gonna scream.

"Don't get angry at your mom she did what she thought was best. She kept you away from her family. I'm not sure she knows I am that Angie she used to see"

I was about asking if my dad knew about it too but it seemed like she already read my mind. "Your dad didn't know and I'm so sorry he died. "Did the accident have anything to do with the cult"

"Good gracious no! don't think that please. I promise to help fix these. My mom did terrible things and now i must look terrible too.

"You know what? I am having a migraine and i need to go", she snapped and walked out. i couldn't contain the information in my lil head. I ran to my ward and face planted on my bed. I needed to see my dad and it had to be quick. I needed to see my friends too, I was already smiling before i finally zoomed off.

There was no sign of Ken, Elizabeth and even my dad. The place was rowdier and I noticed they wore colorful clothes, the first thought that came to my mind was that they were having some kind of celebration. I prayed silently that no one will notice I dressed plain coz I couldn't see even a single spirit dressed plain but like always no one seemed to care even when I seemed very lost.

"Hey Alyssa"

I turned around and it was Ken and Elizabeth.. phew....for a second I thought one of the other ghost had noticed my clothing or that I was lost. "Hey guys"

"You seemed very lost" Ken said to me. Right. Like I didn't know that.

Before I could say anything Elizabeth began explaining the whole feast they were having. It was a feast to celebrate the deaths of people unlike in the human world that we dress in Halloween costumes, in this world it was pretty much serious and all colorful you'd think they were celebrating someone's birth. Though I still noticed with all the colorful wear some of them still looked very horrible like they were dressed for Halloween. As a matter of fact if I were to describe this to anyone I'd be like its a fanciful Halloween.

Elizabeth and Ken walked me round the place describing everything they saw for me. My headache started and I knew this wasn't a good sign at all. It was as if my body gave me warning before anything happens. "Ken, Elizabeth I think we should duck"

"Why?" Elizabeth asked but there was no time to question I pushed both of them to the floor and something flew from wherever it came from, seemed more like this circus tricks and it landed on the floor with a heavy crash. "How did you do that?" Elizabeth almost shouted when we tried getting up. She must have thought I was a superhero or maybe she thought she was meant to save me from trouble not the other way round.

"Oh well its really nothing its just..." I was carried away by clothes. I started screaming and the ghost turned to me. "Sorry you should watch were you are going next time" he smirked. I noticed it was all in the name of a costume that he almost made me scream my voice out. Before I could reply him he walked away but not before he gave me a weird look. I knew that look, someone else had finally noticed I was dressed in a blue jean and black sweatshirt, not a really good thing.

Again I must say that I was lost. I'm pretty sure Ken and Elizabeth ran after me but aren't they ghosts...why cant they find me.

I began walking around in circles till I stopped to see two old women talking to themselves and I stopped to stare at them. I don't know why I did but I did. I noticed one of the women was Elizabeth's grandmother but I didn't know who the second person was. They both seemed to have sensed someone was staring at them coz they both turned at the same time. I know I had seen the second woman's face somewhere before but where?

I had to get out of these place coz they stared at me like they were literally shooting daggers with their eyes. I bolted away trying my best to mix with the crowd, I could still feel their eyes on me. This was scarier than I thought. I knew I couldn't switch back to my world at that time, I'll be caught
