Little Girl

The spirit girl looked up at Izzy. Her transparent face glowed and her eyes were filled with deep malice and hatred.

" H-help me...You help me?" the girl's distorted voice sent shivers up Izzy's spine. It sounded deep and echoed in the room, almost like it was playing through a record.

" Ah...yes we're gonna try help you okay", Izzy gulped feeling her buttocks clench from fear. She kept eye contact with the girl until she saw the expression on the girl's face relax.

Immediately her eyes that were filled with black became blue and Izzy could not help but see a young girl reflected through the ghost.

The ghost girl began to sob and Izzy stood there with Theonymphi sitting on her shoulder, awkwardly.

" Umm... my name is Izzy what's yours?"

" Selby" the girl responded in a cute voice, that caught Izzy off guard. She was expecting to hear that deep disturbing voice again but felt much more at ease hearing the girls soft voice.

" Selby that's a very pretty name. How old are you Selby?"

Selby looked up, " I-I'm twelve".

" Twelve..." Izzy looked down at Selby who had the appearance of a young girl and though back to the terrifying dark figure she was before. The Selby now and the Selby who had tried to kill her seemed like two different people.

" Can you tell me what happened to you?"

Selby looked up at Izzy with watery eyes in her innocent face. Izzy coughed, she had no idea how to deal with young children or ghost children for that matter.

" I remember sitting in a room. It was dark and cold and...." Selby trailed off and Izzy felt the air in the room begin to cool.

In a panic, Izzy chuckled " It's okay when you're ready y-you can tell us okay" she smiled tightly and then Selby looked up at her.

" You remind me of my sister." And then Izzy felt a pair of cold arms wrap around her waist. She froze and looked down, realising that the ghost was hugging her. Izzy's mind went blank, she could actually feel the ghost's arms around her, they felt so real and so cold that she began to shiver.

" Ah ha ha ha, um... y-you can just think of me as your big sister okay?" Izzy's teeth chattered from the cold.

Selby looked up at Izzy and smiled her blue lips pulled back and Izzy almost felt slightly taken in my her innocence. But was then reminded by how Selby had tried to kill her and resolved to try and get rid of her as quickly as possible.

" Ah c-can you l-let go of me. I'm c-cold..." Selby let go of Izzy and then looked down sheepishly.

" I'm sorry" she apologized and Izzy who wrapped her arms around herself assured Selby that it was okay.
