GHOSTS vs THE MERMAID PRINCESS

CHAPTER 7 – GHOSTS vs THE MERMAID PRINCESS

The truth that Cleo is the real culprit filled the whole kingdom already and everywhere she goes, people whisper behind her back, calling her names

She had to hide back in the palace but immediately she entered, she met Sage.

"Sage..."

"So what I suspected was true, you're the one behind it, devil," he said angrily.

"Sage tried to understand me, I was just...

"There's nothing to understand Cleopatra! She's your sister! How could you..."

"You claimed to love her too but you stepped back immediately. I said she took the amulet! You don't even trust her!" Cleo cried out in interruption.

"I....that was…" Sage started stuttering.

Cleo smiled and came closer.

"We're just the same, take it or leave it, you're only obsessed with her just the way I am with you," she said and he looked at her.

Before he could say anything, she pulled him closer and kissed him deeply.

KOREA.... 7 AM, NEXT MORNING, THE MCDONALD'S MANSION

"Honey!" Starr heard the faint voice of Judy immediately he opened his eyes.

"Mum" he whispered and Judy quickly held his hand.

"Honey you're awake"

"How are you feeling right now?" Davis asked from his right side, they both slept in his room.

"I'm fine, Dad, did you guys take me to the hospital?" He asked.

"No, you woke up immediately, the rain stopped and you slept off," Judy replied and he smiled.

"I'm sorry for scaring you both, I'm so sorry," he said.

Judy hugged him immediately.

"Don't do that again, but still you have to go for a check-up," Judy said.

"X-ray," Davis said.

"Yes Dad, I'll make sure I branch at the hospital on my way to school" he replied.

"I'll follow you," Judy replied.

"I'll be late to class today again" he pouted.

"I'll call Mr. Roger," Davis said.

"Thanks, Dad, you're the best" he replied and got down from the bed.

"What do you want for breakfast?" Judy asked.

"Will Dad eat with us?" He asked.

"Of course," Davis smiled.

"Then... anything you make is fine" he replied and blew them kisses before entering the bathroom.

Judy hugged Davis immediately.

"You should praise me for giving you such a cute boy," she said, hanging her arms on his neck.

"I love you" he smiled.

"I love you too baby" she replied and he gave her a lips peck.

She interlocked their hands, taking him downstairs.

LOTUS'S MANSION

"So... humans can't see this mansion, right? Anita asked as Lotus dressed for school.

"Yes, no humans can’t see it, it'll just be an empty land to them" Lotus smiled and faced her after putting on the uniform.

"Wow! You look more pretty!" Anita gushed in admiration.

"Thanks" Lotus smiled and sat in front of the dressing table.

She used pearl earrings and lipstick before starting to comb her hair.

Anita took the comb from her and helped her.

"I envy everything about you Eonni," she said and Lotus remembered Mul, she behaves just like her.

"Why?" She asked.

"Your hair, your fresh body that's almost glittering, your overly beautiful face" Anita replied and Lotus looked at her.

"Do you want long hair?"

"Of course," Anita said.

Lotus looked at her hair and said the words in her mind, Anita's hair grew longer, falling on her shoulders immediately, down to her chest.

"Whoa! I love you, big sis!" She shouted, admiring her new hair.

"But it still doesn't look like yours," she said.

"My hair is rare, only for me" Lotus replied and Anita pouted.

"But you haven't told me how you died," Lotus said.

"I'll tell you once you're back from school" she replied, playing with her hair.

Lotus stood and took her backpack, they left the house together and she met a guy sitting in one of the cars in the garage.

"A ghost?" She said,

"Goddess Rivera sent me, I'll be your driver from now on," he smiled.

"Have fun on your first day big sis, since you refused to let me follow you" Anita waved.

"The four books I picked out in the library. Make sure you finish reading them before I come back" Lotus said.

"Ne Eonni (yes big sis)" she replied as Lotus got in the car.

"Don't worry I know your destination already, Melody musical high" the ghost driver said.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"Nam-Ri," he replied.

"Nam-Ri," Lotus said.

"Yes, goddess registered you in the school already so you're kind of free," Nam-Ri said.

"How did she manage to do that?"

"She's always unpredictable, she has her ways," Nam-Ri replied.

"I guess so, I hope the school is like I've imagined" Lotus inhaled, opening the window.

Though the streets of Seoul are not as beautiful as the treasure-filled streets of Quenshi, it's still beautiful.

She inhaled the hair and pointed her hand out of the window, enjoying the view.

HOSPITAL

"Nothing is wrong with his system, he's totally fine," the doctor said after the X-ray.

"Doctor, are you sure? He screamed out last night, holding his chest" Judy said surprisingly.

"I'm very sure, you chose this hospital as your family hospital cos we're always accurate so believe me, Starr is fine, maybe stressed" the doctor replied.

"Oh I see, thanks doctor," Judy said.

"Have a good day ma'am" he replied as Judy left with Starr.

"Desist from stress, if possible don't play the piano throughout today, honey," she said when they got out.

"Not possible Mum, I'll just reduce the rate so bye!, I love you!" He replied and rushed into his car.

"School please!" He told the driver who obliged immediately.

MELODY MUSICAL HIGH

"What's taking Starr so long? Don't tell me he'll be late today too" Martin said.

"He's not picking up his phone, that punk," Bluey said.

"He's dead if Mr. Roger should come before him, will he say his dad fainted this time around?" Martin said and Bluey laughed.

"Heard a new student is joining us, a girl," Bluey said.

"I wish it's a boy, girls love troubles" Martin replied.
