I couldn't form words, I was afraid. He's staring at me, and I'm afraid.
"Go home, Riku.. Before someone shows up for me.." he says.
I get up slowly, one last look at him, and I take off running. It doesn't take long for me to get back home, and thankfully no one is here yet. I don't know why, but I ran straight to my room and I locked the door behind me and I stood by my computer desk. A few minutes later Sora comes through the door, literally. He came through the door. He was still transparent and floating.
"Sora... Is that...?" I trail off, my voice shaky.
"Yes." he replies, "It's me."
"Why are you here?" I ask.
"Because, like all spirits like me, I need to find my peace." he replies.
"Your peace?" I continue to ask.
He nods, "All spirits who died from murder have to find their peace from their murderers. If they do not within a certain timeline our souls will be lost to the Abyss."
I didn't know what to say to that. He didn't seem to want an answer anyway. He lands no the floor and he's no longer transparent, which freaked me out more than the floating transparent part. I hadn't noticed before, but he isn't wearing what he was when I-when he died. When he died.. He's wearing a long black coat with a hood on it, he's currently wearing the hood, but I know it's him. He also wears black boots and gloves as well.
"Sora.. What do you want from me?" I ask.
He pulls his hood down, "I need you to help me find my peace. You have it, I just need to find it."
"How do I help you?" I ask.
"All you have to do is live your life, you can't help me find it, I must find it on my own. That's the rules. But until I find it, I can't leave you. To put it bluntly, I'm going to haunt you." he replies.
"Oh.." I mutter, "Okay.. I guess I deserve that.."
"You must also know, that only you can see and hear me, only when I'm not touching the ground, if I am touching the ground, others can hear and see me." he says.
"Right.." I nod, "Okay, are you going to follow me everywhere?"
"For the most part, yes. That's what 'haunt' means." he says.
"Ah." I'm not feeling so well now..
He stiffens, "Your parents are home."
He lifts off the ground and is transparent again.
"You're not going to disappear are you?" I ask.
He smirks softly, "Sorry."
I nod, "figured as much.."
He crosses his arms and frowns, his eyes flash gold for a moment, then they turn blue again. I look at him in confusion, "Are you okay?"
"Fine." he replies.
"What just happened, with your eyes I mean?" I ask, softly, so I don't alert my parents that I ma be talking to myself, which is what they would see.
"Nothing, it's just.. A thing that happens as the timeline drags on. It happens to us, as we draw closer to the Abyss." he explains.
"Ah.." I mutter.
I cross my arms, Another thing I'll be responsible for..
