Truth of 1966

On the road back for some reason the whip had become a ring on his index finger.

But at that moment Noah didn't have the head to understand why it happened or to know how to turn it back.

As he got closer to the house he saw that is wife was outside leaning against the wall, wearing a beautiful baige floral dress.

When she noticed him, she immediately got near him and asked why he was late.

"Well the market place was filled with people so it took me a while."

Without saying anything the wife obverses Noah and then decided to go back in the house.

She might be the Goush, was Noah's first thought as he looked at her back nevertheless he didn't want to jump in to conclusions without prof.

Just as he was about to enter the house, he noticed with the corner of his eyes that near the corner of the fence the ground was dug up.

HEY, HEY, HEY! ISN'T THIS A LITTLE TO OBVIOUS? Thought Noah to himself stupefied.

With a perplexed expression he just stood in front of the door.

The wife was inside the house and there was no one outside he made it quick...

Immediately Noah realised that he was being to impulsive, he noticed that the same happened when he was stalking the woman in the real world, if the Goush had the ability to control someone's flow of thoughts...all of a sudden Noah started bitting his nails, the thought made his bones shiver, even his legs almost gave up.

His first impression was that the Gouash might be the wife or brother.

Then he even recalled the rumor.

If his theory was right it might be one of them or both.

So he gathered courage and chose to confront him.

However when he got in front of the room, he was about to kick it, fortunately in the nick of time he noticed that he was about to do something stupid.

Had he done this, the brother wouldn't even have talked to him.

Thankfully it seemed like the effect would lessen every time he was aware of it.

-Knock Knock

Unsurprisingly the brother opened the door.

He had big black dark circles under his eyes, filled with sleep, even his hair and clothes were disheveled.

But the most astonishing thing was his weight, it looked like he had lost a lot of it in a day...

Looking at him Noah's eyes widened.

He took a deep breath and said

"I have something to discuss about, mind letting me in?" with a kind smile.

The brother said nothing and just moveed from the door, as Noah entered the room,the first thing he noticed was how well organised it was, it was filled with medal and trophy which had a name witten on them, George.

While Noah took his time observing the room, George closed the door and then took a stole from his study desk and put it in front of the bed and then sat on the bed.

Noah simply interpreted his actions as a sign to sit on the stool.

The instead he sat on it George started talking

"Listen, it wasn't my fault, she kissed me, I even immediately refused her, please don't be angry.

And I'm sorry about how I responded to you the other day. I was just angry..." said George laughing awkwardly.

"I-it's okay, don't worry about it." said Noah rushing out of the room.

As he left the room his head started aching, his thoughts were all over the place, George wasn't like he had expected, unless he was a professional actor.

He slowly went to his room and then fell on the bed which now had soft and cozy quilts.

He sat on it feeling it little by little.

"Haa"

Letting out a sigh he layed down on the bed with his feet touching the floor along with his hands on his stomach, while his beautiful slightly wavy raven black coloured hair moved futher away from his forehead revealing more clearly his gorgeous golden coloured eyes, which gave him a majestic feel.

All of a sudden he remembered the hair in the drain, he abruptly got up and went to the bathroom and saw the strands of the pilled up hair.

As he pured his lips and picked up a single hair with only his thumb and index finger, he placed it on the concrete floor and straightend it out and observed it.

It was a long and black strand of hair, white on the roots, he definitely knew it wasn't the wife's, she had brown hair.

It was the same one he found in the study, it was the same person.

But he wanted to check his hypothesis so he decided to go to the study, but when he tried to open the room he found out that it was closed.

It was probably because of the father who had caught him the day before, so it was very likely that he had locked it.

Knowing that he couldn't open it know Noah started grinding his teeth.

At that moment just as he was about to kick the door someone suddenly tapped on his shoulder.

Shuddering Noah almost let out a scream.

Turning around he saw the mother who asked what he was doing here.

"Nothing I just wanted to enter the study, I need some stuff from there." said Noah sweating like he was in a summer during July.

He looked like a thief who had been caught trying to steal goods who didn't know what to do now.

The woman titled her head and narrowed her eyes looking at and Noah like someone who had caught their pray and said "I'll open the door if you help me get some stuff out of the basement."

Basement.

At this moment, he knew his theory was correct, the mother was the Goush!

As Noah agreed nodding with a smilingly face and followed her, in his heart he was already celebrating his funeral.

When they reached the basement door, the woman took out keys and started opening one of the many locks.

Noah who was watching right behind her, had quite a questionable expression, his head was tilted, his eyes were wide like psyduck and his lips formed an interesting smile.

When she opened the door and went inside, Noah also followed her but immediately as he stepped inside the door behind him closed, Noah simply just turned around and looked at in horror.

"W-why did the door close?" he asked.

"Oh it must have been the wind, don't worry.

There's a light switch at the end of the stair case so let's hurry up." said the woman.

With no choices left Noah just followed her, feeling like a fish that had been trapped in a cage with no escape, constantly muttering the words "Air my foot!"

As he was doing down stairs, all of a sudden a bright light turned on causing him to close his eyes, when he opened them back, he dashed down stairs and noticed that the woman had disappeared.

Frowning he said "Fuck. Now what's going to happen?"

The basement was disgusting, without doubt it had been closed for a long time, since there were cobwebs in every corner of the room.

The walls were even yellow and moldy like an ancient piece of sheet, but could have been worse, fortunately for some reason there wasn't any furniture in the room.

Since Noah wanted to get this quickly over he decided to be direct

"What do you want?"

"I see your getting straight to the point!" said the Goush.

"Let's just finish this. We have to fight right?"

Said Noah clenching his hands.

Just as he was about to add another sentence without noticea realty dark face and pale face with disheveled hair and green-yellowish theet which were rotting showed up.

Finally the scream that had been stuck in Noah's mouth escaped.

"AHH! This!"

Seeing the horrifying face Noah shivered, the first thought that popped up in his mind was the woman from the real world.

It seemed like the man had said the truth.

Noah was bearly being able to dodge the Goushes attacks, and it's not like he was evading them completely, every now and then he got hurt, accumulating lots of small wounds.

Even if right now it wasn't dangerous he knew he couldn't keep going on.

Biting his lips Noah started brainstorming fir solutions, fortunately he remembered about the ring.

The instant he wished that it turn back to a whip, it actually happened.

Dumbfounded Noah looked at it in amazement, of course because he was distracted, he wasn't aware of the Goush coming at his direction with her long and sharp claws.

Startled he fell backwards and hit his head on the wall.

He still didn't have enough te to recover when the Goush was almost about to pounce on him, scared Noah closed his eyes, he couldn't even think clearly, he had a weapon in his hand but never used it.

But in that instance he knew it was his last breath, he was stunned, he never wanted to die like this, he just wanted to live a normal life...

While Noah waited for his unfortunate death, unexpectedly nothing happened, so he opened his eyes but what he saw was so unpredictable that he almost choked himself.

It was the wife, she had stopped the mother.

"Come on Belle.

I think this is enough, I don't want to kill anymore innocent people."

Said the wife with a bitter smile, she looked like she was going to cry any second.

"What do you mean Cilby!"

Said Belle with her eyes frowning.

Cilby didn't say anything she just looked at Belle blankly.

A second later she tooke out a knife out of nowhere and stabbed Belle with it.

As Belle looked at Cilby in disbelief and a heartbroken expression she shouted "Why!Why! Why! How could you do this to me!"

She shouted till her voice became horse, her face was filled with tears as she clenched Cilby's clothes, begging to get an answer, but she didn't get one and died slowly in torment.

Noah who watched this from the sidelines, felt like he was about to vomit, he went pale and was sweating a lot.

This was the first time he had seen someone die infront of him.

His mind was blank, he was frozen and petrified on his spot.

He only words he got out of himself were " W-Why did y-you do it?"

"If you wanted to die I can do it for you now."

Said Cilby.

"That's not wh-"

"Just shut up!" interrupted Cilby.

"I just...

Me and Belle were sisters...we were forcefully married to this house and...you probably know what happened.

Both of is died, at first we were normal ghosts but one day Belle found something, I don't know what it was but we became Goushes because of it...

Belle and I started killing people by bringing them here...

But over time I found this usless, we had already gotten our revenge, that's why I ended it all today..."

As Cibly finished her story she looked at the dead Belle, she looked heartbroken, like someone who had lost their light.

After a while she took a big sigh and said

"Now kill me."

"Eh?"

He started trembling hearing those words he didn't know how to react.

"What? Don't tell me you can't do it?

What are you a saint or something?

Let me tell you your kind aren't that different from us, you have to kill us to survive, so just do it."

Said Cilby scoffing at Noah.

Noah looked at the black whip in his trembling hand, he simply just had to swing it bit he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Abruptly a hand out of nowhere took his hand and made him grab a knife and...stab themselves with it.

Noah was petrified he didn't even have time to process what was happening when all of a sudden he found himself back in the real world.
