chapter 5 Ghostly Figure

The figure seemed kind of ghost like. It is a man, he has shoulder length dark hair, and is dressed all in black. Alessa calls out to him " Who are you? Whoever you are I'm just warning you right now that I've been through hell and I'm really not in the mood to put up with anybody or anything." The figure was now coming closer, he was facing the ground, his face could not be seen his hair was covering it. Alessa backed away a little and reached down onto the ground and retrieved the bloody knife the zombie child had stabbed her with and held it tight in her hands defending herself from anything else that might attack her. The man spoke to her. His voice was echoing off of the walls sending chills through her spine " Dont be afraid. I will not harm you. You need to get out of here." He was now standing in front of her. Alessa got more nervouse and backed a little more away from him until her back was pressed against the wall. The figure forms a smile on his face and again approaches her. Alessa clutched onto the knife tighter and said in a shacky voice " Stay back." The man didn't listen instead he again approaches her and extends a hand out caressing her cheek in a soft and tender way as if he knew her " I told you I mean you no harm, Alessa." Alessa's eye's suddenly open wide with shock " How do you know my name? " The man forms another smile on his face and then disappears. Leaving Alessa behind very shocked and confused. " Who was that? How come he disappeared? How come he knew my name? Could he be a ghost? " That last thought causes her to shudder then she felt her cheek where he had before touched it. " He seemed so calm I'm starting to think I'm going crazy, but I couldn't have imagined that could I? Damn I'm so confused."
