Surviving A Fairytale (OC Fanfic- SGE)

Chapter Twelve- Grave Danger

I opened my mouth as I recoiled in shock.

For the grave said "Callis of Netherwood" on it. I blinked a couple of times and then everywhere became dark, foggy and extremely spooky-looking, practically like nighttime. I could only just see the grave, where a mysterious ghostly figure was emerging from the grave. It couldn't be? The figure looked practically translucent, like a real live ghost. 

Or a real dead ghost if you took things literally.

I blinked a couple more times. 

Ghosts only exist in movies, ghosts only exist in movies, I kept telling myself.

But the ghost was still there. With her black bob cut, eerie looking big brown eyes, and so on, she practically looked just like Agatha, except only older. I felt frozen. I wasn't scared, I'm not Keira or anything, who runs away at the sight of a spider or lizard, but I still felt extremely paralyzed. Then the ghost literally started floating in the air and flying straight towards me.

Then she tried touching my hair, but her hand literally disappeared through my head. I was flabbergasted. I really, honestly, was. Then she said, "We are extremely spiritually connected you and I. I can feel it."

"Who are you?" I asked her. "Callis of Netherwood, darling, obviously" she responded, cackling. 

I still felt paralyzed and sort of shocked. "How are you doing this? And are you Queen Agatha's mother?" I quickly asked her. 

"Yes and Yes. And as for the first question, I'm a witch, darling, I may be dead, but that doesn't mean that I am spiritually connected to the world!" she said cackling extremely loudly, which caused a nearby tree to fall over. 

"The point is, I'm especially spiritually connected to you dear. I don't how, but I am. And I came to give you a message." Callis continued.

"Which is?" I asked her. "I came to give you a message. You are grave danger, dear. Be careful at that school. And keep you're friends close but your enemies closer." she took a deep breath in. 

"And, be careful who you trust. Just be careful. Finally, whatever you do, good or bad, people will always have something negative to say about you and that's life. But you shouldn't let that define you." she continued.

"I know this because of my daughter. My daughter, is an incredible person and I wish I could see her again in the castle, just, not, not in this form." she said. She looked at me and then at herself. She looked like she was about to cry. I wanted to give her a hug but she refused. 

"Now, go child! Back to the school! Go live to life that you were meant to live!"

"Do you not realise that for my entire life I wanted to be normal and fit in? I never wanted to be a princess in the first place. The only reason I wanted to got to the lame school is because I thought, for the first time in my life, I could finally fit in. But I don't fit in, ok? Because realistically, I just want to be a regular girl and eat cheeseburgers while wearing sneakers. Or watch tons of spooky movies. I don't know! I try so hard to be normal and ordinary and fit in but it never works!" I groaned.

"You were never meant, to live an ordinary life, dear. You were meant to life an extraordinary one, and that's the end of the story." she responded.

"Now go back to the school!"

"But you just said that I was in grave danger!"

"Who are you?" she asked me.

"Catrina of Maidenvale." I responded.
