Chapter Twenty Eight

Carlos was brought before Dalton as the man sat down on his royal chair biting his fingernails with Rose by his side. "tell us what you need and we'll get it immediately." Rose spoke as Carlos stared at her. His hatred for her knows no bound. Carlos ignored her. Rose smiled noticing Carlos' behavior towards her.

"you heard the lady." Dalton said looking at Carlos.

"Is she your spokesman or something?" Carlos asked Dalton.

Dalton smiled looking at Rose. "She's perfect isn't she?" Rose smiled as Carlos looked at her from head to toe. He studied her features; her brown wavy hair, her big ocean blue eyes, her small nose and her orange lips all fit perfectly on her oblong face. His eyes strode down to her body. She is one beautiful ghost he wouldn't deny but her personality? is way overboard and he dislikes girls like that.

Rose came closer to him touching his face. "Now tell me..." she said moving her hands closer to his lips. She looked at him and when she saw he was glaring at her, she backed away with her arms folded across her chest. "What do you need?"

"What do you ghosts want me to create?" he asked them as he got a seat, he sat down and crossed his legs. Carlos was relaxing when someone came and pushed him off the seat. Carlos was furious and he was almost close to laying his hands on that person when he found out the person was Link. He quickly dropped his hands and turned to face Dalton.

"I need you to create an object that can be used to transfer a ghost body to a dead body." Dalton stated as Carlos looked at him like he just grew ten horns and two eyes in front of his forehead.

"You say?" Carlos asked. "I should create a what?" he asked again.

"I don't care how you are going to do it but I need it two weeks from now." and with that Dalton stood up and left leaving no room for Carlos to ask questions.

"I am here to answer all your que..." Rose was cut off by the sudden movement Carlos made. Carlos didn't wait to hear anything, he left her talking to herself.

Amelia was alone in the room comforting Clarissa when Tamara came to her whispering something into her ear.

"What?" was the response Amelia gave before standing up and leaving the room, Clarissa followed her. Amelia stood still when she saw someone at the entrance, she couldn't understand the feeling. She couldn't tell if she was happy or sad or angry or disappointed or surprised, it was like all the feelings came at once and she didn't know which is which. "Amelia." Laura called as she walked to hug her daughter who was too shock to even react.

"Mom." Amelia called with a low tune as her mother held her hand. "what are you doing here? how did you find me?"

Laura touched her daughter's face trying to feel if she was okay without them. "My baby." she called as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Amelia pushed her mother's hand away from her face and she backed away. "What are you doing here?" This is the right tone to use. Amelia thought as her mother wiped her tears trying to come closer to Amelia but Amelia kept moving back. "TELL ME WHY YOU'RE HERE!" Amelia asked her voice going higher. "Haven't you done enough damage already?" she asked. "What else do you need to do before you can destroy my life? Before you can let me be, what?"

"my daughter."

"Your what?" Amelia scoffed coming closer to her mother. "is it the daughter you and father disowned? The daughter you and father made dead to the world? is is it the daughter you couldn't defend considering the fact you.." she pointed at her mother. "...carried her for nine good months? Is it the daughter that when everyone called her names, you couldn't do anything to shun them but you also just them to mock her? is it that daughter?" Amelia asked shaking her head. "I doubt it."

"Amelia, I am sorry....I am sorry." Laura begged as she sobbed. Even though Amelia was pretending to be strong, she couldn't hide the tears that rolled down her cheeks as she watched her mother cry. Clarissa came closer to Amelia hugging her by the shoulders.

"My mother is gone but yours is right here in front of you, don't lose her." Clarissa said as they both looked at Laura. "Forgive her."

"Forgi..."

"It's the only way we can move forward without anything holding us back...please?" Clarissa said. "can you do that for us?" Clarissa asked as Amelia turned to look at her friends and they all nodded in agreement. It took sometime before Amelia could erase all the painful memories and create a heart that will love her mother.

"mom....." she paused before taking in a deep breath and letting it out. "I..... I forgive you."

Laura looked up at her and her new friends. "if you have truly forgiven me..." Laura said. "....Let me be a part of you...even if it's to prepare you breakfast, lunch, dinner....I will gladly do it."

Everyone stared at Laura, some foodies already were happy about it why others weren't especially Amelia who was looking at her mother in amazement. This was the same mother who didn't believe she sees ghosts and now she wants to be with other ghost seers?? Amelia's mind was wandering for a while before Xen called her.
