A young girl no more, just graduated, soon about to take over her father's company and as weird as it may seem she can see a man with a scared face, a ghost?? or perhaps a wandering soul?? Anyway...anyone would run away looking at that face, then why isn't she?? what makes her different?? he himself is surprised she can see him... Romance between a human and a ghost?? I dont think so read to find out if they have a tragic or happy end??

Meetings are mostly fated

I just graduated, and soon about to take over my dad's company, it's a pain in the ass to be honest, don't get me wrong, it's not like I dont ike finance or anything, I hate the pretense friends I get because or that, none of them really care about me, they are just after me since I'm the daughter of the Modesto family ,

my father is Lorenzo Modesto from an affluent family, with a good rereputation for almost 2 decades now, because of my grandfather, and stuff like that....

if you are wondering what my name is.. it is Leslie

I just fought with my mom, don't let the surname fool you, my mom is not even a bit Modesto

she is the most selfish person I've ever seen! she is not bad, I love her but she is too much sometimes, she just wants me to do things her way... so I'm running away from home, without anything, no money no clothes, because they can track me faster if I do but even if I try, I won't be able to run that far, father has already sent a search team for me by now I'm sure...

but surprisingly this is quite far....

6:00 PM

I was in the woods which I had never seen, I was getting a weird cold feeling behind my back... continuous chills, up my spine... it was already dark and it was giving me anxiety because I suddenly remembered my grandma, who died one day for unknown reasons my mom says old age but she was quite fit as per me, she told me that our family women are all cursed... and we are fated with a bad end ...

when I suddenly dashed something... and that was no HUMAN!

it was freakishly tall and dark black, thin and long fingers, the skin was falling off, if it was what it seemed...

it was too dark, and my heart was going crazy, every step it took in front I took two steps back... not a single word had the courage to slip out form my mouth... I couldn't even scream...

it wasn't the first time something like this should happen I thought,

when I was young I often felt that my late aunt would walk in the hallway, she died when a truck hit her... he body was ripped... head in one place, the torso and the foot in another... that image still runs in my mind, and it very clear in my dreams,

I'v learnt to adapt to it, but this thing right in front if me is... words aren't enough to describe... it's mouth... and body which was crooked... and the eyes.. were black with red veins popping out...

as I took each and every step behind, my heart started racing faster... when suddenltly I hit something else and my heart almost popped out my mouth, I could feel It near my heart near my moth

what was it that was behind me??

I did not seem to mug up the courage to look behind.

The creature In front of me smiled creepily and started screaming horribly! what exactly was behind me?? to make it go so frantic??

it suddenly pounced!

I was waiting for my end, I should've have thought of running away, but isn't death also an answer to my pains?? I thought of it so many times... but right now as I'm facing death I feel that it's wrong... I want to live... even if I have problems..

but is this what grandma meant?? all Modesto daughters in our family are meant to have a tragic death?? I am too young to die??

I shut my eyes tight! and squatted on the ground... my hands pressing on my ears, as I couldn't bear the horrible noise it was creating...

I waited, and surprisingly I didn't die or did I??...

I could feel heat, and the crackling sound of fire was I in hell??... I opened my eyes and saw that the creature was burning, helplessly, and horribly, which was so unsightly...the sounds it was making grew even louder! the gaze it gave me... no it gazed at the thing that stood behind me... that gaze it was a gaze which sought for revenge

how strong was it?? to burn something so big and wild...

I did not want to stick there to find out... I ran as fast as I could! as soon as I saw an opening, since it was not attacking me, I thought it wouldn't follow me... but I could feel it chase after me...

I almost tripped on a root and fell, at this time it appeared in front of me out of nowhere... and it looked at my feet....

it was like a human? the body of a human... but his face, it was scarred one whole side... and was bleeding the cuts seem fresh as the blood flowed out, his left side of the face was completely disfigured..... but his right side that I could see, he looked normal a pretty face, but I couldn't see much, as it was dark... his eye? it was glowing like a cat's in the dark...

"what are you?" I asked as I sure din have the strength to pass through his way.... he did not move but just stared at my legs.. perhaps it can't speak... was it going to attack my legs first??

"what are you?" I asked again...

he tilted his head and looked at me... blankly with his single eye... I did not want to look at that face... it was... but he just stared... what was he up to??
