Ghost Girl Chapter 4: Memories
A/N: Hey guys this is Mystic-Galaxy and I know it has been a while since I last updated. But school is going on but luckily I am home-schooled so that means that I have less hours of school. This will be mostly about unlocking her memories that have never seen so I will see you later!
Vedia's POV:
I was drifting into a deep sleep... almost going to dream mode. But what I was starting to see was unusual... almost like I have seen this before. The blur started to take shape, there were 2 people, a boy and a girl. I watched as they play.
"Michael come get me!" A girl with brown hair and green eyes screamed. A teenager who I assumed was Michael started running after her.
Weird, his name was also the name of my brother's. But they have the same looks, appearance, hair, eyes, everything. I wondered if I was dreaming or not.
"I'm gonna get you Anna!" Michael yelled. He ran after her and scooped her up and twirled her around. They were very happy from what I a man came to picture, he had black hair, and green eyes, Anna had his eyes while her older brother had the black hair.
Who was that man? I think that that was there father. But why would he be here in this dream? He looked so familiar though I couldn't put my finger on it.
"Kids come inside, dinners ready..." He yelled. The girl ran up to him and gave him a bear hug while Michael ran after her towards the house. Thats when the memory faded to blackness.
Another scene was coming to place it was the girl again but slightly older she looked as if she were about 3. She was sitting on someone's lap and appears that it was an old man. Were they relatives? They were reading a story or the man was reading her a story.
"So what's this story about papa?" She asked. The old man smiled wearily at her, he straightened a little and adjust the book that he held. There was a window by them that was clouded with frost... it was winter. He almost reminded me of Professor Broom somehow.
"This story is about Beauty and the Beast dear. Your favorite story." He said. That made the girls green eyes brightened up a little. I saw his mouth move as he was reading but no sounds came out. All I saw was a shadow lurking over them, it was a silhouette in the corner. Her grandfather stopped reading and glanced over the corner to reveal no shadow.
"Papa... are you ok?" She asked worried. The grandfather looked back Anna, he hugged her close to him.
"I'm ok just looking around..." He said. Then I heard him say something that the girl did not.
"I won't let him get you" That's when the scene faded into the cold darkness.
I waited for another memory to happen, but I felt like I was blind in this darkness. Until I saw a light come into place, it was another dream. But this time it was the little girl, and the rest of her family. They were all wearing black, it was a rainy day.
The little girl was holding a teddybear in front of someone's grave, she was holding a somber face. Her brother was holding her close as the rain poured. That's when the grave showed... it was of their grandfather's grave.
"I'll miss you gran-pappy" She said as her brown hair went in her young face. She held up her teddybear and looked at it for a minute. Then set it gently down on the wet dirt, her brother patted her softly on the back. The father's face showed... his face showed no emotion, just a stone hard face. As if a darkness was over taking him. The mother was silent too, but with tears falling slowly down her face.
"Let's get out of here before we get sick.." The father grumbled. He was not being rude or negative... He just didn't want his family to get hurt. That is when they slowly walked back to the car leaving the teddybear for the grandfather.
The scene faded yet again, I was wondering what was going on. Was this dream trying to tell me something, or is this some realistic dream. I felt as if I knew what what was happening, like I have been here before but in the absence of my mind.
The scene started to take place it was Annabelle and her brother were reading a book about ghosts. All these dreams were coming from an order, but I could not tell why my mind would show me this. It just did not make sense at all.
"Brother... are ghosts real?" Anna asked. He smiled at that. This must of been his room, because even though there were boy things and such. There were also a lot of books in his room. The only subject the books were about were the supernatural, the unknown, and ghosts.
"Yes Annabelle, there are ghosts and spirits everywhere. But don't worry little sis they don't hurt you, when you feel a shiver or chill down your spine. They are telling you that they are here... keeping you safe." He explained calmly.
She made a face. "Is grandpa a ghost?" He looked at her, he thought for a moment.
"No but every now and then he come and let you know that he is here. Keeping you away from evil." He answered.
"What evil?" She asked, brows furrowing. But when he opened his mouth the door opened. It revealed to be there dad. He still had that cold expression back at the funeral. Something was wrong.
"Its time to go to bed children. You don't want your mother to be upset do you?" He said monotoned. Anna nodded and walked through the door past her dad. The scene faded once again.
I felt something was wrong. Something was going to happen which would be very bad. That's when I heard from a single child's laughter to cries to screams of agony. Then I heard fire crackling and the smell of meat and smoke. Something bad was going to happen in the next dream. Things were starting to make sense somehow.
The little girl was walking downstairs or what I assume was towards the basement. She wore a worried expression. Like she is worried about something... or someone. She kept descending down the stairs until she reached a door. She hesitated but slowly opened the door to reveal her father. There were several bottles of alcohol on the table. He had been drinking maybe in depression.
"Daddy..." She whispered. He slowly looked at her, she did not realize that he was drunk until it was too late. He glanced at her slowly before staring off at space like he was doing before. She walked into the room in worry.
"Daddy... can you play with me?" She softly asked. She was worried about her father's absence but what thing she did notice that a silhouette of a shadow came into his awakened body. That's when he glanced her again only this time... with a smile.
"Ok sweetie, what game do you want to play?" He asked. Her eyes lightened up, something bad was going to happen. He got up to get ready for the game they would soon play.
"Can we play tag?" She asked joyfully. That's when his smile got a little bigger. She then ran towards her dad and touched his hand.
"Tag! Your it!" She yelled. Then ran out of the room, up the stairs and into the living room. Her father following suit behind. Though he was drunk, it was abnormal for to be running without colliding with something.
I had chills running down my spine seeing this happening. Something must have possessed him, something demonic. Something bad was going to happen, this came from a good dream to the beginning of a horrific nightmare.
When he got to her instead of tagging her like he is supposed to; he picked her up and swung her on about. Annabelle laughed at that, though she realized that he was not playing fair.
"Daddy no fair! Your supposed to tag me not pick me up." She playfully pouted.
"Alright then what do you want to play next?" He asked. His eyes were dilated a little, as if he was going to explode at any moment. The girl did not notice.
"It's your turn to pick daddy, I picked last time." She said.
"Hmmm~ He tapped his chin in thought, then his eyes squinted menacingly. - how about we play ring around the roses." He said.
"Ok!" She said, a smile on her lips. Then they held hands and spun around in a circle, the song began.
Ring around the rosie
A pocket full of posies
Ashes, Ashes
We all fall down!
The cows are in the meadow
eating buttercups
Thunder, Lightning
We all jump up
Ring around the rosie
A pocket full of posies
Ashes, Ashes
We all fall down!
But instead of Annabelle falling on the wooden floor as the song stopped; her father unexpectedly shoved her into the fireplace behind her. All she felt was scorching hot sensation all through her small body which hurt. She started to smell of raw meat, but all through the smoke she could see her father.
She tried to cry or scream but made her hurt worse. She saw a man that indeed was not her father, his face showed no emotion, only a wicked smile plastered on his face. There was a shadow beginning to take form of another man, only with a long beard and bald head.
"Daddy~" She whimpered as the flames consumed her whole...
A whisper drifted towards her burnt ears as she was near unconscious.
"The time will come when you are needed most child, your family failed to protect you from the darkness. You will soon be mine, just like my son will be too."
Vedia raised her upper body quickly, her eyes were dilated as she was panting from her nightmare. Her brother looked at her in worry for he had not slept, he moved his wispy hand to her cheek in worry.
"It's alright brother, just nightmares... I will be in the bathroom." She said hesitantly. She slowly moved her legs over the side of the bed, and placed her bare feet on the wooden floor. She then walked towards the bathroom door, reached for the handle and opened the door. When she came in she closed the door.
She walked towards the sink, turned on the faucet and washed her face. When she looked at her reflection she saw someone else's face, it Annabelle's, only older. Her face was tanned a little, her green eyes and brown hair was still there. But the difference was that the fact was that she was older and had scars on her face.
She gasped in realization, that was not just Annabelle that was her. Abe had recalled earlier that her name was Annabelle but he liked Vedia better. She soon realized that that was not a dream turning into a nightmare, it was her memories that used to be locked in the back of her head.
"So your trying to tell me that the shadows in my memories was the same man that possessed my- I mean our father?"She asked.
The reflection did not copy her movements but instead nodded her head. Who was the man that forced dad to kill her? She realized that this man was coming back from wherever he came from. She was going to avenge her family that the man had taken from her.
She had to tell Abe tomorrow about her memories... but first she had to get a good night's rest. Because it was already 3 in the morning.
A/N: Hello! This is the end of the fourth chapter of ghost girl. This was more of her past then anything else and honestly I am shocked I wrote something like this. But hey, I have one question... or quiz for you in this chapter. Who was the man that forced her father to push her in the fireplace, or more likely was that mysterious man connected to the shadows that her grandfather and Vedia have seen?
I know that the song's lyrics might not be familiar to you but I had to search on the internet to see what the lyrics were.
