This is going to be a short chapter leading up to a really long one. I hope you like
As he thought about Sonya, an eerie glow of light hovered over Sonya's sleeping form. The light began to take the form of a teenaged girl with black waist length hair, her eyes were blue but pain filled and sad, and her clothes were of the 15th century and were tattered and worn. She stood over Sonya peering curiously at her face. Devon turned to looks at Sonya again and saw the apparition looming over her body. He gasped in surprise and fright at the same time and weighed the options whether to wait till the apparition was gone or to try and keep it away from Sonya. He, wanting to be a man, decided to fight and protect the sleeping girl if he could.
He nimbly jumped off his bed and silently hit the floor. He began to slink up on the ghost then he tried to tackle the ethereal being. He obviously flew right through her body but it got the girl's attention. Devon crashed into the wall but was on his feet and running over to the sleeping Sonya.
"Sonya?! Sonya!! Wake up. There's a ghost that's trying to get you! WAKE UP!!!!" he frantically shook the girl awake.
"D...Devon? What yawn a ghost? Huh? A ghost. Ummm…uh…Chris!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
Devon stood back in wonder until Sonya tackled him to the ground as another apparition flew across the room to hold off the ethereal female being. The on Sonya called Chris had wings and was taunting the other who was jumping madly trying to get at him. As soon as the girl got dizzy enough Chris landed and grabbed the other ghost from behind. His strong arms stopped the other from making any escape s did his wings. As soon as the ghost girl was immobile the two teenagers got up off the floor.
"Thanks Chris you're a life saver really." Sonya said to the ghost boy as she helped Devon off the floor.
"It's alright. So this is the girl I was talking about Sonya the one who has been haunting Devon." Chris relied well naturedly
"Who are you? And she has been haunting me?!" Devon exclaimed "No wonder I've been feeling like I am always being watched. But who are you?????? Sonya does this mean anything to you?" Devon spoke flustered
"Umm well it's kinda a long story to tell you. You see ever since I was a little kid I could see these shadows that no one else could. And a few days ago I found out that the shadows are ghosts who haven't found peace and moved on. It's a whole big mess that I have kept hidden and so far no one knows about it…well now you know so I guess its not much of a secret anymore then is it?" Sonya explained hurriedly laughing in the end of it all
"She's right, the story is too long. First we must find out why this ghost was haunting you so vigilantly. It seems strange for a ghost of a girl to haunt a boy so much. No tell us why you were following him?" Christopher interrogated the ghost girl.
The ghost girl turned her head away from the teenagers who were looking straight at her. As she did her hair cast a shadow over her face making her look sad and scary all at the same time. Christopher kept her in his tight grasp to make sure that she wouldn't try to run away and hide before they could get a straight answer from the illusive ghost who haunted Devon.
"Now will you please tell us? We will understand. I know at least I will. You can trust us." Sonya tried to coax the girl out of her silent treatment. "Chris let her go. We can trust I know it. Just tell us everything."
Christopher gave Sonya a quizzical look then released the girl from his grasp. He was unsure of Sonya's decision but he was going to have to live with it. He trusted Sonya with her decision and just hoped it wouldn't harm her or her friend. So with that he flew over to Sonya's side, touched her shoulder reassuringly and slipped into the shadows. The girl looked around like a trapped rabbit but soon she calmed down. She was beginning to find out that running was inevitable… she was going to have to tell her story sooner or later.
"My name is Raven." The girl whispered as she relaxed.
"What?!?" Devon quizzed surprised that the girl talked.
"My name is Raven. I…I guess I have to tell you why I am haunting you. I guess…… I Guess I have to tell you about my life before then…." Her accent was English. "But how to begin?"
"How about at the beginning?" Devon suggested and received a glare from Sonya that told him that that wasn't the right thing to say. Suddenly Devon stayed quiet.
The ghost girl smiles a little bit. There were many reasons why she haunted the boy but one stuck in her mind the most. He reminded her of Him.
"He's right…I must start at the beginning." Raven breathed deeply and began….
Sorry for the short chapter but I had to leave a cliffie for everyone. Review.
