This chapter is a lot shorter than the previous one, its kinda on the boring side I guess. Well anyway here it is and I hope you like it :) please review it if you can. If you catch any mistakes or anything let me know and I'll fix it too. Thank you :D
We walked into my cellar, and Salem was looking around curiously. The room was pretty dark, I only had one dim ceiling light in the middle of the room. It was a decently sized room, but the clutter all over the place made it look really small. I had my bed to my right, which wasn't made of course. Straight ahead was my desk, filled with notebooks and writing utensils, to my left was a few cupboards and a small stove. In the corners of the room I had my clutter. Dolls with pins in them, books, on a few shelves I had some potions bubbling, a broken broom, a cauldron.
"Kinda small isn't it?" asked Salem.
"Yeah well I'm used to it, besides its only me that lives here, well… kinda."
"What do you mean kinda?" asked Salem with a confused look on his face. Just after Salem said this the lights flickered off and it went pitch black in the room. When the lights flickered back on a pale white face was staring right into Salem's eyes.
"Boo," said the ghost quietly. Salem jumped and took a step back. The ghost started laughing hysterically and flipped upside down holding his stomach. His whole body was white and he had no legs. From his waist a swirled tail curved out of his torso in the place of his legs.
"What the hell, who is this?" asked Salem, with a slight quiver in his voice.
"This is Spyros, he's a ghost. He was the boy that used to be in the coffin that I took." I pointed up the stair case at the coffin. "Since I took his coffin he decided to haunt me until the day I died."
"He seems annoying," said Salem, looking over at the ghost who was still laughing.
"Yeah well I got used to him, we actually became really good friends. He watches over this place for me. Sometimes he follows me around when I go out, and he keeps me company too. After all I would get pretty lonely if it was just me by myself here."
Spyros finally stopped laughing and hovered right in Salem's face. Then he bursted out laughing again. Salem stared at him with an annoyed look. When Spyros's laughing seceded, he finally said.
"Ok, ok, ok. I'm sorry, I'm good now."
"You seem like a pain in the ass," said Salem.
"Yeah well I annoy people on purpose, its her fault for taking my coffin that my beloved family paid for, all for me," he said, as he pulled his thumb back pointing back at me.
"You know you like that I took your coffin, how boring would your "life" be if I hadn't?" I said.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've had this talk before."
"Umm.. I gotta pee do you got a bathroom?" asked Salem.
I pointed to the door at the foot side of my bed. Salem opened the door and was shocked by the looks of it.
"The bathroom is the cleanest part of this place!" he shouted.
"Gee thanks.." I said. Salem closed to the door behind him and I heard him ruffling with his clothes. Spyros giggled a little bit then said.
"Ha ha, I scared the piss out of him, literally."
I just ignored Spyros and I walked over and sat on my bed. I listened to Salem pee. It was weird, I never listened to a guy pee before. I kinda had an urge to peak through the key hole and look at him. I rubbed my eyes with my palms. What am I thinking? I want to see a guy pee? I'm an idiot. The sound of the water splashing in the toilet stopped and the toilet flushed. Salem then walked out and looked at me. I stared back at him.
"What?" he asked. I paused for a second and opened my mouth, then I closed it again.
"Uhh.. to cool to wash your hands huh?" I said. He smirked a little bit and walked back into the bathroom and turned the faucet on. I heard a whisper in my ear. Spyros was floating above my left shoulder.
"Aww.. wittle Awicia gots a wittle crush."
"Shut up!" I yelled, and I gripped a pillow and swung it through his head.
Salem came out of the bathroom hands dripping wet, drying them on his black sweat pants.
"You say something?"
"Uhh.. No, nope," I said, feeling my face getting hot. I looked down pulling the brim of my hat over my face slowly. Then I took my hat off and put it on a nail in the wall above my bed. Still looking down, with my purple hair draping over my face. I looked up and Salem was pulling out the chair from the desk and sat in it. He looked at Spyros, who was floating in and out of the wall repeatedly.
"Soo.. Spyros how old are you?" Salem asked. Spyros continued to float in and out of the walls as he spoke.
"212 years old." he said.
"No I mean, when you died."
"Oh I was 12. Yeah I died by drowning, me and my family went to the beach and I went really far out in the ocean and big wave came and pulled me under. The force of it was too much and I couldn't swim back up."
"That's sad," said Salem.
I fell backwards onto my bed and looked up at the ceiling.
"Alicia how old are you?"
"Sixteen, you?"
"I'm eighteen, well technically I'm ten in this life."
"Huh?" I asked confused.
"I'm a cat, you've heard that cats have nine lives right?"
"Yeah."
"Well I died once already, and I was eight."
"Do you have to start all over again? Like will you be a baby when you come back?"
"Oh no, I have the same body when I come back to life."
"Oh ok, well I'm going to change into my night gown." I walked into the bathroom. I looked around the bathroom. It was fairly small. I looked at the sink to my right, and the toilet which was right next to sink. Straight ahead was a stand up shower, which had a tinted glass sliding door. The wall to my left had a closet. I walked to the door and opened it, I took out my dark purple night gown.
I walked out the bathroom door with my night gown on and sat back down on the bed. Salem was talking to Spyros about something while I was in the bathroom but I couldn't hear what they were saying.
"Me and Spyros were just talking about how he could peek at you when your in the bathroom."
"Oh yeah he doesn't though, I caught him peeking at me when I was in the shower once."
Spyros giggled a little bit. "Yeah she went ballistic, she started throwing her stuff around at me and she was screaming at me. Telling me she was gonna kill me, even though I was already dead. All the stuff she threw at me went right through me. She was so scary I promised her and myself I wouldn't peek at her again."
"Well I won't be peeking at you in the shower ever." said Salem.
"Yeah… haha," I said, blushing a little bit and scratching my neck.
"Well, I'm gonna go out, I've been inside for a while. I haven't scared anyone or had any fun in so long. So I'm going into town. I don't know when I'll be back, see ya" said Spyros. He then flew through the ceiling screaming, "Weeeeeee!" until he was far enough away that his voice became inaudible.
I laid down on my bed, looking up at the light in the middle of the room. Maybe I should get a brighter light bulb, it is gloomy looking in here. I took in a deep breath and then sat back up and looked at Salem. He was sitting there with his face in his hands. He was swinging side to side in the rotating desk chair. It squeaked every time he rotated to the left. I just looked at the wheels of the chair listening to the squeaking noise. It was starting to annoy me.
"Can you stop moving the chair please? Its annoying me," I said quickly.
"Sorry."
He sat there for a maybe thirty seconds and he started moving the chair back and forth again. The Squeaking starting back up again.
"Please stop doing that!" Salem stood up from the chair and sat down next to me on the bed.
"Sorry I couldn't help it, so I just moved so I wouldn't do it anymore."
"Good, thank you." I said.
I laid back down on my back and I pulled the covers over me. Salem sat there at the foot of my bed and I felt my eyes dozing. I tried to keep them open for a while. Then I just gave up. I then felt my eye lids shut on me.
Well there it is, I hope you liked it. Please review and point out any mistakes to me if you can. Thanks :)
