CHAPTER 8

"Who are you? Let me go, I can't breathe"

"Hihihi" What a laugh! her laugh was scary. It was like a witch's laugh

"Hello chloe" She speaks in a husky voice that I felt more scared

*Cough cough*

"You do not know me?"

"All I know is that you are not human."

"Hihihi. I am human but just a soul now. I want to kill you. But she's always there, following you! Every time I try to kill you! She's always protect you. But now? Where is she? Hihihi

"What are y-you talking about? What d-did I do to you! Who are y-you referring t-to?"

First and foremost, who was following me?!

"Hihihi. She was so cowardly. She can't protect you"

"Who a-are you re-referring to?"

She pushed me on the wall, so I fell to the floor. I was scared, my shoulder start to hurt again.

I looked at her feet, sore and dirty. She just stood there

She whispered "You're going to die!"

Slowly, she knelt, I close my eyes because I didn't want to see her face. I'm scared.

Please leave

She grabbed my hair.

"You're going to die, chloe. Not because of me, but because of her. Hihihihihihihi"

That laugh, I do not want to hear her laugh, I do not want to hear it again.

"Get out!!" I cried.

Suddenly, I waited for her to speak but she couldn't. I ran out of the bathroom and went to bed.

"Huhuhuhu" I couldn't stop crying. Scary. She's a ghost. A f***ing ghost!!!

The next morning, I met Dad at a cafe

"Are you all right where you live?"

I had a sip of coffee first and looked away. I dont wanna look at his eyes while lying "Of course dad, why?"

He sighed "Before, Every time I saw you, you were always smiling. But now, why do you always seem to have a problem?"

I smiled and looked at him. "Dad, this is normal. You don't always see me so maybe that's it"

He sighed again "You're always pale. What happened at your back, it was clearly bent?"

You're right dad, my back is already bent. But when I checked up, it was normal. I just don't know why this is so.

"Look at yourself, you're so skinny."

"Dad, it's just because of my work. Don't worry I'm okay"

Do you exhaust yourself from work? Chloe always remember, take care of yourself!"

I stared at him

Dad I'm sorry, I want to say what's happening but I'm scared. I want to cry, I want to tell you but not now.

"I was worried about your body, it was almost bent."

I look at my watch,

"Ah dad, I still have a job. Can I leave?" I stood up to kiss his cheek and then walk away.

I lied again. I hope someday Dad will forgive me. I hope he will understand me.

While I'm walking, my phone suddenly rang.

It's my Dad..

I'm sorry Daddy.
