Adam's POV
Several months later...
Boring, boring, booooring... I thought while going through all the different channels on my tv to find something worth watching.
And after I while, I happened upon a documentary channel where a program about haunted places was about to start. Better than nothing, I guess. I shrugged and stopped at that, not listening to the tv so much though, as my mind wandered back to Sauli. Hope he's doing okay in there. And that he's not disturbing the construction workers too much. I smiled a bit as I thought about what he could do to them.
But then, a while later, what was said on the tv caught my attention.
"...the construction workers refuse to go there, because they say the place is cursed. They have tried to take down the house several times, but every time something breaks or a thunderstorm appears out of nowhere, making working too dangerous. Even police have gone there to see what might cause it all, but haven't found anything. Except that the basement door won't open. The construction site is closed now and..."
That's when I stopped listening to the tv. Hmm.. That's interesting. Cursed construction site. Wonder where... Wait a sec. That is my old house. My eyes widened a bit as I realized that.
Better go and pay Mr. Ghost a visit. I decided as I got up and switched off the tv before heading out to my car.
A couple hours later, I parked my car next to the metallic fence that surrounded the house and the machines that were on the yard. But since there was no one there, I just climbed over the fence, landing on the other side rather gracefully. And with every step I took closer to the slightly damaged house, more and more dark cloud started gathering to the sky.
He probably thinks I'm someone else. I thought as I hurried inside, because it had started raining already. And as I got the door closed, I could already hear thunder rumbling outside.
"..Get out.." Echoed in the house, and the voice was laced with anger.
"No. I'm not going anywhere. Stop this, Sauli." I said sternly, holding the door closed by leaning to it. And the second I said that, everything went silent. I even looked out from the window next to the door and saw that the sky was clear again.
Then, before I could even take a step deeper into the house, a cloud of smoke appeared in front of me and I felt a pair of arms hugging me tight. "You came back.."
I smiled softly and then wrapped my arms around him once he had materialized in front of me. "Yes, I did. Because I heard what you've been doing. But I'm not mad at you, though. I came to ask if you'd want to move out from here."
"But where would I go..?" He asked, pulling away from the hug enough to be able to look at me into my eyes.
"Into my new house. With me." I said and smiled.
"You want me there..?" He asked, looking hopeful.
"Yes. I do. I wouldn't ask it if I didn't, now would I?"
"Okay.. I'll come with you.." He said and smiled, then disappearing somewhere. I waited there patiently, because I could guess where he had gone. And I had been right, because soon, he came back with the wooden box that had been in the basement.
"We all ready to go now?" I then asked with a smile. He nodded and opened the door, holding it open for me too. I thanked him and then we walked to my car. I had to show Sauli where to sit, because he didn't know. I bet he had never been in a car before. And as soon as I started the car, Sauli went invisible, but I knew that he was still there, because there was a small smoke cloud around the wooden box, where Sauli's hands were.
During the whole two hours long drive, we were silent. I switched the radio on after about 30 minutes of silence and Sauli didn't seem to mind, since he didn't complain. And as we got to my house, he turned visible again and carried the box inside, setting it down to the middle of the living room floor. And then he sat down next to it. And to be honest, he looked like he didn't know what he could do and where he could sit.
"You live here now, so you can go wherever you want. Just act like you did in the old house." I said reassuringly and put my hand on his shoulder.
He turned to look at me and smiled. "Okay.. Thank you.."
"You're welcome." I said and then decided to ask the question that's been in my mind for a long time already. "And what's in that box?"
He looked at me for a while before answering. "Everything I had with me when I died.. Everyone who dies gets to take whatever they have with them to wherever they go.."
"Oh.. That's interesting." I said, looking at Sauli. He just nodded and then got up, picking the box up too.
"I'm going to hide this.." He then just said before going somewhere, probably to the attic. I let him hide it wherever he wanted and sat down on the couch.
It's nice to have him here. He's the best roommate I've ever had. I thought with a smile as I then laid down on the couch and looked around in the room. I'm not gonna have to feel lonely anymore.
