I close the book and sigh in tiredness since there is nothing more about it.

I try to search in the library about Mythology since my father mention it is Mormo was the creature I fought back there.

Trying google but there aren't specific details about it, I thought I will find something here, but I was wrong.

"Here," A sandwich falls on my lap made me look up to see Titus face staring back at me "What are you doing here?"

Give him a grateful smile before I grab the sandwich "Looking for answer about the creature" I told him and wait for his reaction.

We didn't talk about what happened back there and even though he says that he's grateful for what I do, I still don't know his opinion about my ability.

"Why you want to know?" He asked while eating his apple.

I shrug "Preparation if something like that happen again?" I try to give him a reason.

"Hmm... I always thought spirit or stuff like that isn't real" He sighed and leaned back on his chair "Never thought going to have experienced or even know something will stick on me for months" He grinned and shook his head like he was still in disbelief it now.

....

I didn't speak or make any comment about it.

It seems he needs someone to hear his story, so I give him a small smile which he returns.

"I heard you go back to your father's house?" My father said that the Governor called and he's grateful for what I have done to his son. I guess Titus say something about me helping him, even though I don't know what he told him.

He nods "The voice on my head always say that I have to kill my father, he's evil and better dead" My eyes widened in shock when I hear him while he just sighed loudly "So, that's why I choose to go out from the house" He turns his head to meet my gaze and I smile at him.

"With everything that happens in past, he's still your father and you love him" I retort and watch him raise a brow.

"I should be scared by how you know about my father and I relationship" He muse before nudging my shoulder with his "But knowing your power, I guess I shouldn't be surprised to know you knew about it"

I'm glad that Titus accepts me and my ability.

We sat there for a while until the bell rang and go to our separate ways.

He's older than me and in 11 grade, but we meet any time we have a break from the school schedule.

The three barbies look surprised when we both walk together to the cafeteria, but not only then, almost everyone in school.

Mormo uses Rachel to get his soul...

But it is still a mystery why Rachel thought Titus was in love with her and the reason why she end her life.

I guess in time I will know...

---------------

It's Sunday night when I decide to go to grab something to eat since my father has to work overtime outside his office.

I can't drive a car and don't have one too, so I decide to just use my bicycle.

It's only 7 PM when I go out but the sun is almost gone so I pedal faster.

I know Titus said that I should call him if I need anything, but I can't depend on him for something small like this, right?

Especially when I know he has dinner with his father.

And I'm glad to hear his relationship with his father is getting better because I know family is important.

And no... Titus isn't my boyfriend...

We're getting close, correct but more like a brother and sister because I know he didn't see me like one and likewise.

Having a best friend is great, especially the one who knows about my weirdness.

Sob... Sob... (A sound of crying)

When I hear someone crying I stop my pace and try to look around only to get goosebumps when I see no one around.

Sh*t!!

Why am I stopping?!

Smart, Louisa!! I curse myself and start pedaling to the Burger Grill cafe.

Help... Help.....

Sob... Sob... (A sound of crying continue) 

Help me...

The cry getting louder and now I hear a voice too.

F**k!! F**k!!!

keep going, Louisa...

Ignore it, only one turn.

"Aahh..!!" I scream and quickly tried to break at the last turn when a woman standing in front of me.

BRAAK..!!!

D**n it!!

I curse when I fall and hit the ground harder than I thought.

HEEELLPPPPPPPPPPP...!!!!

I look up only to scream louder when I meet face to face with a b****y face of a white spirit who flies past me. 

.....

Bump... Bump... Bump...

I could hear my heart beating faster before slowly I pull down my hands from my face and try to look around.

Nothing...

No one here...

What... What is going on? I thought before slowly trying to get up from the hard asphalt and grab my broken bike, great!

I wince a little and see my knees bleeding because of the accident.

Perfect...

Sighed in tiredness, I walk slowly to the cafe and hoping that nothing happen to me.

Help?

Why did it suddenly appear?

Or why she knows that I could sense or see her?

I put my broken bike on the front before I open the door.

"Hi, Louisa" Gina, the owner who is an old lady who have the place since a long time ago greet me. This is the place that my father brought since we came, that's why they know who I am "Oh my God, what happen to you?!" Gina shout-out in panic when she brings the menu and stands closer to see my condition.

"Mark... bring the first aid, quick!!" She shouts-out called his son and takes a seat in front of me.

"Broken brake" I explain shorty and pointing to the bicycle on the front.

"Oh, dear" She whispers at the same time mark, his son coming with the first aid.

"What happens to you, Louisa?" He asked and I'm ashamed that I make people worry for nothing.

Gina help me bandage the wound while Mark made my order.

One thing that I like about living in a small town, that the people are so friendly to each other.

"Where your father?" Mark asked when he bring the food and put it on the table.

"Work" I grin and he nods.

"Enjoy then," He said and left but stop after one step "I forget, I will bring you home, so don't worry" He added with a winked eye.

Mark and her father become closer since they like fishing.

And I'm glad that someone could bring me home because I don't know if I could go back to the road and meet the spirit again.

"Let's go" It's 10 PM when Mark finally able to drive me back home.

I'm not complaining, Gina and her family are warm and friendly, their food also good so waiting here isn't a problem.

My heart beat faster when I saw the road hoping that nothing happened again.

Help...

Help me.....

Mark keeps driving while I keep listening to the pleading.

bracing myself, I turn my head to the window and try to search the source.

My eyes widened when I saw something on the house in the corner...

The same girl standing there watching me...

Wait a minute....

Isn't that....

Oh God... It's...

Rachel??
