CHAR ✔️

EIGHT :: SISTERS

Summer's POV

"You're my sister" I sobbed, gasping lightly and she gripped my hands tighter.

"I'm so sorry" I cried and hugged her.

"It's alright... I'm okay" She grinned and kissed my forehead.

"please don't leave me... I've got just you now" I sniffed and she nodded, tears in her eyes.

"I love you baby sister" She pulled me into another tight hug and I held onto her.

Char's POV

I told Summer how free the house was now and she looked very elated.

She drove Bernard's car to the next county and abandoned it there.

We took care of Mark too. We dropped him off at an hospital when he was still unconscious, pretty sure he wouldn't remember all that happened today.

Summer cared about him alot, it was obvious to see and deep down, I knew something could happen with them later.

Being tethered to Summer meant I would have to spend additional years as a ghost and would only die when she does, allowing us to fade together.

It also meant I could go anywhere she went... The movies, the mall, her workplace, and anywhere possible.

She was the most responsible little sister ever and I couldn't help but imagine how dead I'd really feel if she didn't care as much as she did.

It was a new beginning for us both. Summer got more cat powder ghost bane from this spiritual eBay store and we locked out the other ghosts from the burial ground behind the house. Locking them in their graves would make sure they didn't haunt anyone let alone my sister but she's got me and I don't plan going anywhere soon.

It was finally over and my main goal right now is to make my sister the happiest girl in the world, to give her life I never got to have.

Summer's POV

It seemed like a few days ago but in reality it was two weeks after Char had cleansed the house and with a heavy heart, I watched Deon's family grieve and bury him. The police found his body where I dumped it and sure enough, I was taken in for interrogation. I told them everything Char asked me to.

This morning was another and last one of those sessions. I dressed up in a long black dress and veil. It was all I could do to show my feigned sadness. The dickhead was Char's murderer so I didn't feel a thing.

Char sat at the top of counter and watched me pull the waffles out of the maker.

"They'll be here in about ten minutes" She announced and I nodded, briskly wolfing the food. I wanted it to digest way before I got asked any repulsive questions by the cops.

Sure enough, low wails sounded outside and Char got up. We held hands as we went to the door and welcomed the police offer. He couldn't of course see Char. All he saw was my clenched fist. He put a reassuring hand on mine and smiled.

"It's gonna be quick."

I got into the car with Char and the officer drove almost slowly to the station.

I asphyxiated as I got out and walked into the lit up house.

I clutched tighter at Char's hand and she gave me a cute smile. She really looked like mom.

" Hi Summer, please come" A beautiful black female cop with shiny coils led me into an interrogation room. She sat opposite with an alluring smile and i felt my heart slow down pace.
