Violet and Charles appeared in his room, and he looked around, astonished.
“What happened? What just happened?” he exclaimed looking around.
“I just saved you from her,” Violet said.
“What on earth did you do?” he lashed, frightening her.
“What do you mean…”
“How can we teleport like that? I’m weird enough as it is, how do I explain this? Do you think I’m invisible like you?”
“Then how else do you expect me to rescue you? It’s not like I can do anything to her,”
“Then you should have just stayed out of it!” he yelled.
He took his phone and saw countless messages from his friends, asking him how he teleport.
“It’s over! My life is over! How on earth do I explain this?!”
“I really wasn’t thinking…”
“Of course you weren’t! Because you are a ghost. You can cause a lot of damage and get away with it, because you are invisible! But I… I have to explain myself, I have to clean up after the mess you caused. I had enough of living this way. Must I live this way?!” he lament and broke down leaving Violet confused.
“I…” she shuddered.
“Enough! I don’t want to hear anything,” with that, he left the room
*
He was heading out when Mr. Feng approached him.
“Sir, what troubles did you get involved with?”
“You heard about it? I had enough of that ghost, I don’t think I can wait any longer to get rid of her,”
“Sir, I thought you made an agreement with her,”
“There is no such thing as agreement! She’s going to be the end of me,”
“You are right. We should get rid of her. If she could cause issues like this with police officers, then there is nothing she can’t do,”
“What police? Did they report me to the police?”
“I got a call from the police, but I already settled it,”
“Who filled the report?”
“What do you mean? You got in troubles earlier with traffic officers. It’s a good thing I settled it before the chairman heard about it,”
“Oh… it was that?”
“Did something else happened?”
“She is here. Let’s go somewhere else to talk,” he muttered, looking at Violet.
“Please… let’s talk. I really didn’t mean to cause troubles for you,” Violet said.
“Mr. Feng, let’s go,”
“Where can we go? She is a ghost, she can follow us anywhere,”
“But there is somewhere she can’t bear to be,” he muttered, and smirked.
*
Charles and Mr. Feng stood in a shopping mall rooftop, under the hot sun.
“Must we be here? The sun is too hot,”
“That’s why we are here. Ghost can’t bear to be under the sun. It hurt them as much as the substance does,”
“Oh…”
“Mr. Feng, I’m canceling the deal I made with her, so I want you to get the substance for me. Not just it, but also the talisman,”
“What made you change your mind?”
“The ghost is more smarter than I thought, so using that substance and the talisman is the best way to get rid of her completely,”
“Alright, sir. I was already working on it. I already sent for it,”
“No. I want you to go to China yourself to get it,”
“What? I should go to China?”
“Yes. Now. And get to that,”
“But, sir… what about you? Who will look after you if I leave? China is not New York,”
“I know. And I can take care of myself. I need to get rid of this ghost now, so we have to be swift with it,”
“Alright, sir. I’ll handle it. But please… be safe while I’m not here. The thought of what happened the last time I left you is still terrifying,” Mr. Feng grumbled in a sober voice.

FLASHBACK to when Charles was 8-year-old***
*
Charles woke up from his sleep in the middle of the night and screamed at the sight of someone in his room. He doesn’t turn off his light from fear that the evil spirits might attack him if he is asleep.
“Little kid….” the evil spirt called.
“No, no, no. Stay away from me! Haaaa… Mummyyyyy…. Mr. Feng… no, no. Save meeeeee….” he cried, and a lot of evil spirit gathered in his room.
He screamed and cried trying to protect himself from the spirits aiming at him.
Mr. Feng went to China to visit a shaman concerning Charles case so he was all alone until the maids heard his cries, and alerted his father who called a doctor immediately.
The doctors couldn’t diagnose what was wrong with him, so he was sent to a psychiatric hospital.

FLASHBACK ENDS***
*
Charles chuckled as Mr. Feng instantly made him remember that terrifying moment.
“Mr. Feng, it won’t happen again. I’m avoiding those ghost well, so I just need to get rid of this one for everything to return to normal,”
“What do I do if anything happens to you? You are the only one left in the Harrison’s family, who am I supposed to serve next? How will I face your mother and grandparents in afterlife?” Mr. Feng cried.
“Talking about afterlife to someone who can see ghosts is really uncomfortable,”
“I’m sorry, sir,”
“You should get going. This is an assignment,”
“I’ll, and I promise to get it done immediately. But before that, I have to ensure that everything is fine,”
“What again?”
“The ghost must have caused a lot of troubles. The police didn’t seem to be what you were talking about earlier,”
“Oh, that…”
“You’ve to tell me everything, sir,”
“Gosh, you will make me remember what I wish never happened,” he muttered, and narrate everything to Mr. Feng
“What? You are trying to tell me that you teleport here!”
“It just crazy, that ghost will be the end of me,”
“How do we sort this out? What explanation do you have?”
“I don’t know. I haven’t even thought of one, but above all, I have to get rid of the ghost first before she cause any more troubles,”
“I’ll go fetch your car,”
“No. I can handle that much on my own, get to what I requested first,”
“Sir…”
“I’ll be fine, Mr. Feng, I promise,”
“I know you will be, you are not longer that 8-year-old boy, but to me, you are still the little boy that almost committed suicide when he lost his mother,”
“Must you remind me of that?”
“Sir, I know you wili avoid them, those ghosts, I know you are avoiding them well, but it will be impossible to avoid them if they see you with another ghost,”
“Oh, you’re right. So, what do I do? That’s why you have to get to China now! And get me that talisman,”
“I’ll get to that, sir,”
*
Mr. Feng left to prepare for his trip, while Charles went home, and he was given a package sent by Mr. Feng.
“What’s this about?” he thought, smiling cheerfully as he opened it to see a shocker, and he chuckled.
He took his phone, and saw a message from Mr. Feng.
💬*Sir, I don’t know much about the spirt realm and ghosts, but I hope the little gift I sent to you wili keep you safe until I return. If possible, remain indoor till then,* it reads, and Charles chuckled, sniffing in tears.
“Mr. Feng… why are you like this? You are making me cry. Why must I live this way? Why?” he cried holding his chest.
**

Violet left Charles house after he went to the rooftop with Mr. Feng, she couldn’t endure the heat, so she had to leave. She wandered around in the streets, passing through everyone hoping to bump into someone else but she didn’t.
After walking tirelessly, she went to check up on her sister who has been suffering all these months doing all the chores after dropping out of school. Her dreams have always been to become a pianist, she treasured her hands so much, and they all supported her in pursuing her career. After graduating from high school, she was enrolled in the best music school, but now it seems like her dreams have gone down the drain.
She searched around for Ivy in the house, and saw in her bathroom coughing nonstop.
“Ivy, what’s happening to you?” she asked, worriedly.
Ivy left the bathroom, and laid flat on her bed in pain.
“Ivy, you need to see the doctor, oh my, what’s wrong with you?” Violent nagged.
“I think I should see a doctor,” Ivy grumbled.
“Better, you should,” Violet said.
Ivy went to freshen up later, and went to the driver to take her to the hospital.
“I’m sorry, ma’am. But I need madam Ella’s permission before driving you out,”
“I just need to see a doctor, can’t you spare me this once? What if I collapse and dle? Will you take responsibility for it?”
“I’m sorry, ma’am,”
“It’s fine,” she muttered, and missed her step on her way back.
She fell to the ground in the process, and eventually passed out.
“Ivy!” Violet shouted.
“Madam, madam,” the driver called out
“Get her to the car and take her to the hospital,” Violet yelled.
“Madam, I need to take her to the hospital,” he said, and carried her, when Ella drove in almost immediately.
“What’s going on here?” Ella snapped.
“Madam, madam Ivy suddenly passed out,”
“So?”
“What?” Violet shouted.
“I-I’m taking her to the hospital,” he said, and Ella slapped him.
“Didn’t I made myself clear when I told you never to drive out without my permission?! She is nothing but a freeloader in this house!”
“Ma-..”
“Drop her down and leave, you are fired!”
“Ma-…”
“Get out!”
“Ella… how could you, she is dying…” Violet cried.
The driver dropped Ivy, and Ella collected all the keys from him before he left.
“I should have fired you sooner,”
“Ella, how could be so heartless?” Violet shouted, and teleport to Charles’s house.
**
**
Charles exhaled heavily when he saw her, and he reached out for the shocker.
“Charles, please… hear me out…”
“I have nothing to hear, so leave!”
“My sister… my sister is dy-…” she was saying, and Charles used the shocker on her that only trickled her.
“What’s this?” she asked.
“I don’t know, but since it has little effect on you, I won’t stop using it until I successfully get rid of you,”
“Don’t we have an agreement on a week?”
“You made that agreement alone,”
“But you agreed to it,”
“That was only because I wanted to get my car keys from you. You were betrayed when you were a human, and now, you still believe in words?”
“My sister is dying! Please, save her… and I will never bother you again. I promise,”
“You will stop bothering me either ways. If your sister joins you here before Mr. Feng returns, there will be no reason for you to want revenge,”
“How could you be so heartless?” she shouted, and slapped him.
He held his cheek and chuckled. “I already told you before now, I’m a heartless person. I’m worst than your dilemma,” he said
“You are an evil person…” with that, she teleport away.
“Oh… that was so scary. I can’t believe I was slapped by a ghost,” he grumbled, touching his cheeks.
“I hope she never return again,” he muttered, lying flat on his bed.
**
**
Violet returned to Ivy devastated, and met her in her room with a doctor.
“Do you want to klll her? How can you be so careless? What if something had gone wrong before I arrived?” Maxwell quarreled Ella.
“Relax, I wasn’t the one who made her fall sick. I didn’t even do anything to her,”
“But something might have gone wrong! How could you leave her unconscious that way?”
“Maxwell, why are you so worked up? That would be a perfect way to get rid of her!” Ella blurted, and to her surprise, he slapped her.
“Maxwell… you hit me. You hit me because of that bltch…”
“Get your tact together, Ella! Violet might have transferred all her asset to me, but the board are all against me. They refuse to appoint me as CEO. They don’t trust me after the head of the legal team resigned. How do you think they will react if anything happens to Ivy?”
“Is that why you hit me?”she asked in disappointment.
Violet watched them arguing, and decide that it could be the best way to come between them. Knowing Ella well, she will hold grudges against Maxwell forever, and try to get everything from him, so she decide to act on that, but there was nothing she could do. Charles was the only one that can see her, and he is adamant on driving her away.
She wandered around, to different cities with hopes that she could meet someone who can see her but it was to no avail.
She wandered around for days, and gave up later thinking of the best way to gain Charles trust since he seems like the only person that can see her.
**

Charles went to the parking lot, and met Mr. Feng who just returned from China there.
“You were telling me something on the phone, but I couldn’t hear it clearly,”
“Yes, sir. There is a problem,”
“What?”
“The shaman went on trance, according to her assistant, she has been in isolation for over a year,”
“What? When will she be back?”
“If they count correctly, she might be back in the next full moon or the next one. The full moon is what they count,”
“And that will be…”
“In a week,”
“Gosh. The ghost hasn’t showed herself since she left. But I can’t let my guards down. You should find another shaman,”
“Sir, I thought of it. But… remembering what happened the last time before we locate this shaman is a bit scary,” Mr. Feng said, and Charles instantly remembered how the talisman a shaman gave him attracted evil spirits that tormented him before they found the recent shaman.
“So, what do we do?”
“We will have to wait, and hope the ghost doesn’t return before the shaman does,”
“Wait… but it’s too late,”
“What do you mean?” Mr. Feng asked.
“She is here… again,” he muttered, looking at Violet who just appeared.
“Charles, I really don’t want to bother you with this. I have wandered around almost all the cities to find someone else who can see me, but it was to no avail. You are my only hope, Charles. This might be my chance of making things right,”Violet said.
Charles exhaled heavily with clenched fist. “I already told you, I can’t help you. Just leave…”
“Sir… is she here?” Mr. Feng asked, looking around to confirm if anyone was watching them.
“Why are you so heartless? Will you be able to live in peace if I really vanished in thin air?” she asked in tears, and he looked at her.
“No, I won’t be able to live in peace. Because there has never been a peaceful night for me,” he muttered, and Mr. Feng looked at him pitifully wondering if he can ever be able to live a normal life.
