Violet has been wandering around trying to remember something that could’ve happened in those weeks that she couldn’t remember, and wondering if she actually singed off everything to Maxwell willingly as they claimed.
“Did I end up forgiving him?” she thought.
She always believed the pact was fabricated, with thought that she dled from Ella’s hit, but now it seems like there could be more to it, and she is oblivious to the truth.
She wandered around the accident scene that she didn’t realized that she day ended, and the next day breaks. She sat by the valley trying to recall something but it proves abortive till the day passed, and the next day clocked.
“Did you dled here?” she heard someone asked from behind, and she turned in shock to see a lady.
Her face brightened immediately but her jaw fell at the thought that she could be a fellow ghost, so she looked down at her but she had no shadow.
“She is also a ghost,” she thought.
“I also dled here,” she said, and sat next to her.
“Oh…” was the only word that escaped Violet’s mouth.
“I’m Daisy. Daisy flowers. My parents sell flowers, we had a large flower garden at our home. They named me Daisy because I was as beautiful as Daisy flower,”
“You must miss your parents,”
“They dled first,”
“Oh…”
“What’s your name?”
“Violet,” Violet blurted. She wasn’t interested in being friends with a fellow helpless ghost that won’t be able to help her.
“You’ve a beautiful name,”
“I hear that a lot,” she said, and Daisy chuckled.
“How long have you been a ghost?”
“I lost count. You?”
“Two years,” she said, and Violet looked at her in bewilderment.
“Two years?”
“And two weeks,”
“For that long?!”
“Many have been longer,”
“Oh,”
“I have to go now, see you around. And be careful here, evil spirt are always wandering around here looking for a spirit to prey on,” with that Daisy left.
Violet left later and went to check up on Ivy who was trying to adjust at school, Maxwell and Ella who were preoccupied with the inauguration ceremony.
She attended the ceremony helplessly looking around in regret. She stopped feeling betrayed because there was nothing she could do, instead she regretted meeting them, and trusting them.
She left later and went to Charles when she remembered her agreement with him. She has been too preoccupied in her thoughts that she forgot her agreement with him.
She appeared in his room. and met him watching the news of the inauguration.
His promise to help her excited her, and she didn’t know when she embraced him until he wrapped his arms around her, and she pulled away immediately.
“I’m sorry about that,” she muttered.
“I think we have gotten closer to hugging, so it’s understandable,” he winked, and went to seat.
“About what you said…”
“Yes, I’m going to help you. I said it. But I don’t know how,”
“We can figure it out together,”
“You think so? You’ve so much trust on a man that could go back on his words,” he said, and she looked at him.
“Hey! Relax. I won’t take it back,”
“Why do you want to help me?”
“If I must answer that, then I’ll have to take it back,”
“No, don’t. Answer something else instead,”
“What again?”
“When did you start seeing ghosts? I have wander around for a long time, but I couldn’t find anyone who could,”
“You think I’m special?”
“Seems like we haven’t gotten that close to share that, right?”
“When I was 5, after my mother passed away. It all started then,” he said, and she paid full attention to him.
“My father got married few months after, I suddenly have a stepmother and stepbrother while I was sick in the hospital. Dad didn’t pay attention to me, there seems to be no one who cared expect Mr. Feng, but he wasn’t the one I needed. I wanted my mother. I was knowledgeable to know that one goes to the word hereafter after d£ath, and everyone told me that she was in a better place so I wanted to join her there. I didn’t know if was sulcide, to me it was just a way to be with her in a better place so I thought of how it could be possible. I was just a child, I knew nothing but I know that jumping down a tall building was dangerous, and could lead to d£ath, so I tried it. I went to the hospital’s rooftop when Mr. Feng was away, and jumped off,”
“What?!”
“Everyone said I floated in the air, but I didn’t… mum caught me halfway, and I safely landed on the ground. That was how it started,”
“Your mother saved your life, and you started seeing her right after,”
“We could also put it that way, but to me, my mother returned. I wasn’t in another world, because I was still at the hospital, but I had my mother back. It was confusing at first because others couldn’t see her. Many said I was insane, and others said I was possessed.
“Oh…”
“I later understood that she was a ghost, but I was more excited to be with my mother than to bother myself with that. Mr. Feng was the only one she revealed herself to, he couldn’t see her but she made him believe it. We spent time together like a normal mother and son, she visited me at school, and we played together. But the only torment were evil spirits,”
“Evil spirits?” she repeated, when she remembered Daisy’s warning.
“Just as there are good people and evil people, there are good spirits and evil spirits as well. That’s what I thought, but that wasn’t it. Evil spirits are vengeful spirt that refused to cross to afterlife, they take shelter in the body of vulnerable humans, and destruct the human world to escape from grim reapers,”
“Grim reapers exist?”
“Don’t you know? Grim reapers exist but evil spirits always try to escape them. They also devour other spirts to energize themselves, and cause chaos among the living realm and the ghosts,”
“What? They are that scary?”
“Once a vengeful ghost refuse to cross over to afterlife in the due time, it has to become an evil spirt to continue existing here,”
“You must’ve seen many of them,”
“Quite a lot. My mum put her taekwondo art into defeating them. We fought quite a lot, and I also suffered from thier torment. Seeing ghosts made me special just until my mother…”
“How did she left?”
“She already fulfilled her vengeance, she should have left earlier, but she held back because of me. I didn’t want her to leave, but she wili leave eventually. She promised to see the moon with me before she leaves, she made a lot of promises, but the evil spirt attack her right in my presence, she fought back, she defeated it but… she couldn’t survive it either. It was a painful moment, I felt like I lost my mother again,” he said, and Violet patted his shoulder.
“That won’t make me feel better. Your hands are cold like ice, it’s uncomfortable,” he muttered, and she withdraw immediately.
“I, I’m sorry,”
“About what?”
“About your mother, the evil spirt, and… my cold hand,”she said, and he chuckled.
“If you’re sorry, at least smile. That will be better,”
“What?”
“What?” he repeated, and stood up immediately.
“Ermmm… what I meant was—…” he was saying, and she smiled brightly.
“Your smile is so beautiful,” he found himself saying.
“I know,”
“What?”
“I know that I have a beautiful smile, I hear that a lot and I often look at the mirror,” she said, and he rolled his eyes.
“Too bad, I can’t even see my reflection in the mirror anymore,” she said, looking at the mirror, and he stood in front of her.
“You don’t need a mirror anymore. I’ll always look at you and tell you how you look,” he said, and she looked at him.
“Pardon?”
“What?”
“You can’t be serious,”
“How else can I make you feel better?”
“Why do you want to make me feel better? Who do you care?”
“Because I believe we have gotten that close. You will be helping me and I’ll help you too. We should look after each other and make sure the other is better if we want to work together,”
“Yeah… exactly,“
“Turn out that I don’t even know your name,”
“My name?”
“Yeah, we have gotten that close to exchange names. Thanks to everyone around, you know mine,”
“Violet,”
“Violet? Vee,”
“Not Vee, Violet!”
“Vee is better. I enjoy acronyms a lot,”
“Good for you then, Chaaa,”
“What? That’s tacky,” he laughed.
“Just like your face,”
“I don’t believe that. Unlike you, I can look at the mirror,” he winked, and she scoffed.
“Good for you,”
“Yeah, good for me indeed. I have the upper hand now. I suppose we could both agree on that,”
“Just until you successfully help me get everything back, I’ll agree. Be right back, got to check on Ivy,” with that, she left.
“Hey! She just leave and appear whenever she pleases, it’s not even like she is close to her sister,” he grumbled, and went out to meet Mr. Feng.
“Sir, where to?”
“I want you to do something for me “
“Always at your service, sir,”
“That Holt’s company. I want to report everything you can find on them to me. Every details from thier stock prices, shareholders, everything without leaving any information out,”
“I’ll, sir. But may I ask why?”
“You may not,”
“But I’ll ask anyways,”
“I know you will,”
“Why are you suddenly interested in them? I thought you aren’t willing to help her,”
“I have to prove to her that I got the upper hand,”
“Sir?”
“You heard me,”
“Aren’t you being too attached to this ghost? You were never interested in them or thier vengeance, you want them away, thier existence frightened you. You regret having the ability to see them,”
“You’re right. But I don’t think that’s what I regret,”
“Sir?”
“Vee was right, what I regretted was being unable to do anything for them. They are helpless, so was I,”
“Sir, the shaman is already showing signs of returning, I won’t give up on the substance,”
“Put more effort in the assignment I gave you, I’m in a fight for supremacy here. If I manage to win, I will have the upper hand, she won’t have to be my Mistress anymore,”
“Sir…”
“I hate losing, I really do. And to a ghost, no, NEVER. The keys,”
“Where to, sir?”
“I don’t know. I have been indoor for too long, I could use a fun ride. I’ll get very busy later,”
“Then I’ll drive,”
“It’s no fun riding with you. Just give me the keys,”

Ivy struggled to survive at school with Bryan spreading scandalous rumors about her. She cared less about making friends, so she didn’t bother about those pointing fingers at her but being a loner was really new to her. She might keep few friends, but she always had friends whenever she was.
She went to the cafeteria to get food during her leisure time and went to take the only empty seat she could find.
She was already halfway with her meal when a girl walked up to her table, and exhaled heavily with her tray of food in her hand.
“You can seat,” she muttered, before looking up to see a young nerd with earpiece plugged to her ears.
She slightly nodded, and took the seat and they both ate in silence.
“Hi,” she heard someone say, and she looked up to see a guy.
“Hi,” she waved back.
“I’m Jon, and you?”
“Ivy,”
“Business management?”
“Yeah, you?”
“Art,”
“Oh,”
“I wish we could talk better but I have a class now. Enjoy this,” he winked, and dropped a lemon drink on her table before leaving.
“He is so cute,” Ivy said, and wanted to take the drink but the girl with her held her hand.
“What?”
“It’s lemon drink,”
“Yeah, I know. Do you want?”
“Your allergy…” the girl grumbled.
“What did you say?”
“I’m not allergic to lemon drink, so can I have it?”
“Neither am I. I’m allergic to garlic. But you can have it if you want,” she said, and the girl shook her head.
“No, you can have it. I’ll leave,” with that, she hurried away.
Ivy stared at her retreating back wondering how someone could be that weird.
“Violet was the only one who thought I was allergic to lemon,” she muttered, staring blanking at the drink.
