Cursed with a Ghost of Death 8. Intimidating
"I guess you only show up at the brink of death, ey?" She sighed at her ridiculous question.After calming her lungs, she opened her eyes again and a small whine escaped her lips as it began to look like she was blind, with her vision only welcoming darkness. 'Are you sure you're not dead? Or in a coma but surely going to die soon?'She sat up abruptly at the sight of a torch right across her. Light! But wasn't this supposed to be-Before she could complete her thought, another torch blazed dimly behind her. And another. And another. And they were all going upward at distanced sections on the stairs railing that suddenly appeared infront of her. No, please...The stairs looked endless just like how the hallway did before she began walking to the end, but there was no way she was going to move an inch this time.Hell can break loose for all she cared, after all, she was dead to herself already.She stayed put with her legs folded across her chest and her hands resting on her knees as

After moving again, the carvings were only women and children. The men were far behind and were as still as statues. Some women were carved running back to them and some had already reached them. Those that had reached them were... were stru-... they were struck and strangled to death... by... by the men who seemed to either be their husbands, brothers or... son! Ah! Wh- Why?!She kept moving further. This time, those that were running were only the older and little children. Where... Where're their mothers?The women had become immobile just like the men had been. Like they were hypnotized to stay put or possessed by some... demon. Some children too were running back to their mothers just like the women did before. "No... don't." She shook her head as she muttered while touching the carvings like they could hear or feel her. Please, not the children. Not your children!But she could do nothing but watch the women strike and strangle them. She shook her head violently as she tried to
Cursed with a Ghost of Death 10. Going home
She could see the entrance just right ahead. Yes! In your face, sucker! Ha- Wait... The entrance... it... it doesn't... that's just it. It's a dead end. Dead end! No. No, no! In your face now, Isabella. Damn it!She had already reached the entrance which was now the exit for her and she was a few steps away from the end of the cliff. What do-... Jump. Yes, Just jump like you did before. Shut your eyes and jump! You would die whether you jump or not. Either this way or end up in the belly of a resurrected monster... Yeah, the cliff is way better.She shut her eyes as she got to the end and jumped only to land on her feet again about five seconds later. Okay, this death came way sooner than she expected. But wasn't she supposed to fall and break into pieces instead of landing on her feet like some superhero? Isn't this an interesting death experience? Or maybe she was dead and now in a magical place! Ah, that must be it.Slightly opening an eye in expectance to see some magical clouds
Cursed with a Ghost of Death 11. You want to die?!
"Did you... go inside the main house?""...Yes." She answered hesitantly.His eyeballs moved around its lid in utter confusion. How? When...?!How did she get out? No one has ever gotten out of that house. Or... is she a ghost? Nahh, he held her up and brought her to the car. Or maybe she was lying. But why lie about something of this sort? She looked like she had no idea about this before, so...Damn, he was so confused!"Did you see or encounter anything while in there?" He decided to ask her some questions about how the inside was."Yes! Yes, I did." She said enthusiastically and was ready to start narrating her experience in there but... she couldn't."What did you see?" He asked after a few seconds of her not saying anything after she admitted she had encountered something in there.His eyes were still on the road but he would glimpse at her through the mirror every now and then, but now she looked like she was struggling to speak."Are you okay?" He asked, getting the more worr

"Gone? To where? How?""They... I presume they exploded." ...Say what now?!!!"Err... sorry, you said exploded." She attempted to correct him. He definitely made a mistake."Yes. Exploded. But we can't explain how though. It's the strangest thing we have seen so far, the fact that only his insides bursted while his external body was still just fine is shocking and bewildering." The doctor and nurse had a shocked and confused look on their faces. That was the sign for her. They weren't playing around. They weren't joking. His insides really bursted?! Is that even possible?"But... I still don't understand." She mumbled out, her brows scrunched in confusion as she looked at the doctor and nurse."We don't either. We're really sorry." The doctor patted her shoulder reassuringly, feeling bad for her.'Wait, what do you mean by, 'We don't either.'? Aren't you supposed to be the medical practitioners here? Why won't you give me an answer, huh? Why?!'Her mind was in a bit of rage as she loo
Cursed with a Ghost of Death 13. Daimen
She was genuinely scared and her daughter wasn't the type to show her emotions. So now, this was oddly strange. Yes, she wanted her daughter to become more extroverted even with her expressions but still this was strange coming from her.She walked closer to Isa and when she was close enough, she held her shoulders, "Isabella, no one's in your room. Go and rest. I assure you, you're safe." And then she smiled warmly at her. Isabella felt shockingly calm. Her jittering limbs finally calmed down. When last had her mother smiled at her like that? She smiled back lightly and mouthed a 'thank you.' Celina gave a slight nod and turned back to Anna, "C'mon, let's go. We have something to talk about." She moved to Anna and pushed her up the stairs, glancing back at Isa with a light smile before disappearing at the top of the stairway. Isabella sighed deeply. Maybe her mother wasn't as bad as she thought. She sighed again after looking up the stairs and remembered what she saw. More like wh
Cursed with a Ghost of Death 14. Humans
"I thought only witches and or wizards could open it, so I went in search of them. My mind could leave the coffin as a mist of smoke or a miasmatic kind of darkness but couldn't cause any harm at all. Funny how I thought it would be easy to manipulate the mind of a witch. They weren't humans who were weak and had no powers. In fact, they knew about me, so whenever I'd come, they'd send me back."He began to pace from his right to his left. "The witches were very smart. Their older ones had told them about me and even if they weren't informed, they knew how dangerous a demon was and how manipulative one can be. So, after trying and failing to get to them for hundreds of years, I decided to divert to another solution. Humans." He paused and looked up at her."Humans are weak and powerless. The weakest of all races. One would ask what I wanted to do with a human. I wondered that myself. But it seemed I just needed someone who could say the unlocking spell and so I manipulated the minds o
Cursed with a Ghost of Death 15. Romeo and Juliet
He smiled knowingly, "You seem to forget that I am also a demon. Basically, half ghost, half demon, though my demon side is partially locked away, but I can still disappear and appear with or without something or someone." He was as calm as a dove. It was like he enjoyed her freaking out. She was stunned and speechless. That explains how he brought her bag along!"Stay... away from me." She came down from the bed, her hands outstretched as her defence as she moved backwards towards the bathroom, her eyes still locked on him. As soon as her back hit the bathroom's door, she turned and rushed in, leaving the demon smiling.But Daimen's smile didn't last as he stared at the bathroom's door, "Unfortunately, I can't." He muttered under his breath.She came out minutes later only to be disappointed. He was still there. Standing by the window. Why the window though?She didn't utter a word neither did he as she rushed to grab her bag and books. She was already clothed in her usual sweatshir
