Chapter 24: First kill
''WHAAAAT?! JUNE, YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!''
Scratch couldn't believe it. June came and told him that she was leaving the Ghost Friends team. This was unbelievable...
''I'm sorry... I don't wanna continue...''
''You're the smartest Ghost Friend! You're the one with all the cool gadgets, and you can solve difficult cases! June, we need you!'' Scratch tried to convince her.
''Sorry... I already made up my mind...'' June said, as she walked away.
Scratch was speechless. What the hell was happening? They almost lost Libby, they lost Ollie, and now they also lost June without any reason. The Ghost Friends were falling apart right when they had to be together the most... Almost looked like the phantom had something to do with this...
...
Ollie went out of his room to get a glass of water. He was still sad, but at least he managed to calm himself enough to get out of his room. While he was going to the kitchen, he noticed Samantha was working on something.
''What are you doing, Sammy?''
''Oh, just a little idea of mine'' Samantha said, as she was sewing something.
It looked like she was making some sort of dark suit. She looked like a 5 year old, making a school project. What made it even more cute was how her new bird was resting on her head.
''What's that?''
''I show you, just let me finish. Aaaaand... All done!'' Samantha said, taking a look at her work.
It was two black wings. It looked like a halloween suit that little kids will wear. Samantha put them on and she looked like a little dark bird.
''Awwww, you're so adorable!'' Ollie said.
''Hey! It's not supposed to be adorable, it's supposed to be scary! To make me become one with the shadows!''
''Naaaah, it makes you look like one, little, adorable craw!''
''Well... That's another thing that's supposed to do, but the main thing is IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CUTE!''
At least Samantha was enough to cheer Ollie a bit after what happened. He didn't want to make her mad, so he decided to praise her.
''Alright, Princess of Hunting, it is ''scary''. And really, it sure looks good. You also didn't tell us you can sew''
''My sister taught me how to do it. It's not that hard, really. Just practice...''
Samantha started to look down with sad eyes when she mentioned her sister. She really missed her. Maybe one day she can find her. All Samantha hoped was one day to finally hug her long lost sister...
...
It was now around 1 AM. Inside Brighton's museum, 2 guys were trying to steal a painting. They managed to get through the roof of the museum, so the O.A.S agents wouldn't spot them.
''Come on, faster!''
''Don't rush me! If I make one little mistake, the sensors will activate!''
Around the frame, there were tiny sensors that will turn on if they detect any movement. The only way to surpass them was by cutting the painting and removing it very, very slowly. Everything was going to plan, until...
''Sheeeesh, I also am a fan of art, but I'll never go THAT far''
They turned around and saw Molly in her bright ghost form. Her red eyes were staring at their soul. Poor guys were so scared, the first one pulled out a gun.
''STAY BACK! I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE!''
''Oh, do you?''
''YES! I-I've seen the news, I've read the articles and seen the videos! You're that Joy hero, aren't you?''
''Come on, isn't it obvious? What, is there another ghost which is bright like the sun, flying around?''
''You think you're funny?! Stay back, or I'm shooting!'' The guy said, pointing his gun at Molly.
She found the whole situation so funny. If that guy knows who she is, that means he has heard the news about Brazil... Does he think he can just kill something strong enough to lift a building by shooting it?
''Oh no... Is that a-a-a-a a gun?''
''Yes, it is!''
Molly started to fake cry and curl up from fear... They didn't even notice how she was just playing and mocking them.
''J-Jesus Christ, what am I gonna do? I have s-such a big fear of guns! Dear God, spare me, please!''
''You want me to spare you, huh? Then go away, before I-
Before he could finish, with the speed of light Molly got up, flew right in front of him, took his gun... And pointed her to her head... Then shot, not feeling anything.
''Really painful... So painful, I think I just died''
The guy froze. She was so close to him. Seeing her scary red eyes was enough to give the poor man a heart attack. While he was just standing, too scared to move an inch... Molly blasted him with a lightning, sending him to the end of the museum. She blasted him so hard, he fainted.
The second thief who was still holding the painting was on the verge of tearing up. He had no idea what that thing is, but he knew she can kill him in a blink of an eye.
''Now you... Can you be a good boy and place the painting where it belongs?''
''YES! J-Just don't hurt me...''
Very slowly, he was setting back the painting to its former position. Even though he had to do it very carefully, he was shaking from fear. It was very hard to do it, but with a lot of struggles, he managed to put it back. After he was done, he stepped away, raising his hands on the air.
''Now, how can I trust you won't go around stealing again?''
''I won't! I promise to never steal again!'' The robber said, as he started to tear up from fear.
He never felt more powerless in his life. This was an entity who could kill him whenever she wants. He was so scared, he started to sob.
''Awwww, that's so cute. Just a moment ago you were ready to rob an artist of his work, but now you beg for your life... Isn't this an irony''
''Please...''
''Did you two even think what you were doing? Have you ever wondered how hard the guy who painted this worked? For what, so some scumbags to take it away from him? Pity...''
''I'm sorry, I really won't-
Before he could even finish... Before he could try to explain himself... Molly shot a little lightning arc at his head, causing him to collapse. The noise was enough for 3 of the soldiers outside to finally come.
''Ahhh, my guys! No worries, I just-
''THERE SHE IS! FREEZE, ON THE GROUND!'' One of the soldiers yelled, as they all pointed their weapons at her.
''Are you serious? I just took down the bad guys! You won't arrest me for that, are ya?''
All of them started to aggresivly shoot. It was clear they didn't care at all what good deed she did, they wanted to take her away. When they stopped shooting, they saw she was flying close to the roof.
''Come on, not even one thank you? I did your jobs!''
''#92, STUN HER!''
The soldier in front of the other two took out a little blue gun and tried to shoot her, only for Molly to fly around the roof, dodging every single shot. Even when the other two started to shoot again, she still dodged all their shots.
''Last chance, weirdos! I don't wanna hurt you, but-
The agent with the blue gun shot her, causing Molly to feel dizzy. She didn't know with what they shot her, but it made her to even fall on the ground.
''Target knocked out, make sure to report it'' The soldier in front of them said.
''Got it!''
They were ready to call their base and tell that the phantom is caught... But then lightning arcs wrapped around the agent in front.
''WHAAT THE-
Molly got back up... More angrier than ever. By using the arcs, she dragged the agent to her.
''OH, YOU JUST CROSSED THE LINE!''
With one punch... Only one punch... Molly sent the agent ourside the museum and even broke his skull.
''SHOOT HER, KILL HER-
Molly then flew towards another one... Then grabbed him and flew him outside to the sky.
''H-HEY! LET ME GO, YOU FREAK!''
''WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!''
She was so mad, Molly started to fly around with him in the forest... She was ready to kill him, then feed the wild animals with the agent's dead body. By flying in the sky, Molly flew down to the ground and threw the soldier to a tree.
''You're dead!''
He was in so much pain, he only managed to get his radio and call the base... Giving Molly one last look.
''Send... Back-up...''
Those were his last words. Molly shot a lightning in his head... Making a huge hole in it. As the dead body fell, Molly was just looking at it... And she was very proud of herself...
''Good night''
