CHAPTER 2 | YOU ARE A FUCKING GHOST

ECHO'S POV

What the hell is he talking about, what does he mean by he can't see me, is that a joke? Oh I see what's happening here. "Ahahaha, oh wow. You guys deserve an Oscar award, ahahaha." I laughed as I watched him take a few feet away from me. "You think you and your friend can bully me into leaving this house but news flash, it's not happening." I said as I walked away from him.

"Wait, are you seriously not bothered with the fact that he couldn't see you?" He asked as he followed me to the room.

"No, I am not because it's obvious that he was lying. How is it even possible that you can see me but he can't?" I asked curiously because that's very strange.

"Look... Hmmm, what's your name?"

"Echo." I said casually.

"Okay Echo, I am Lorenzo but can you please let's step out if this house?" He asked and I don't understand why this is necessary at this point.

"Why, are you trying to lure me out of the house so that you can take over?" I asked curiously.

"No I am trying to find out if I am the only one that can see you or the agent was drunk." He reasoned.

"The agent was definitely drunk, there is no way you are the only one that can see me."

"Okay then, if you are so confident let's go." He made his way to the door and opened it.

"This is ridiculous but okay." I followed him out of the penthouse.

It's already late at night, so we hardly to walk to the road before we started seeing people. "Hi, please my friend and I are looking for a nice restaurant, can you direct us?" Lorenzo asked the first man we saw.

"Are you drunk young man, you are the only one here." He said and panic washed over me, what's going on? "Anyways there is a restaurant at the end of the street." He pointed along the street but I can't get over the fact that he said he can't see me.

"Excuse me please, can you see this young lady?" Lorenzo asked another guy.

"Who?" The guy asked while looking around like he can't see me standing right here.

This is getting more scary, Lorenzo asked a few more people and they are all saying the same thing, they can't see me... I am invisible.

"Enzo, what's happening?" I asked as I stood by the road, directly in front of a lady walking towards. "Oh my goodness." I screamed as I watched with wide eyes when the lady walked right through me.

"Oh shit." He cursed when she walked through me. "Fuck, are you a ghost?" He asked as he took a step away from me.

"Don't be ridiculous Enzo, there has to be another explanation for this." I said as I made my way back inside. "Maybe they were playing a prank on me?" I pointed out.

"Really, all of them gathered around to play prank on you." It sounds ridiculous when he put it like that.

"I don't know, what do you want me to say. Oh wait, this is your fault." I pointed out when I realized what the problem is.

"How so?" He asked when we got back to the house.

"You made me get out of the house in my night wear and they probably thought that I am a wayward lady and that's why they ignored me, so this is on you." I said as I folded my hand across my chest.

"Hehehe, very funny." He laughed as he started pacing around the living room. "Look the only explanation for all of this is that you are a fucking ghost." He pointed out and the sound of that scares me.

"I am not a ghost, stop saying that." I said angrily.

"Okay how will you explain the fact that, that lady walked through you?" He asked but I can't answer the question, I don't even know what happened.

"I don't know." I mean if I am a ghost, shouldn't I have some special skill or power? "Why don't I have any power or skills?" I asked curiously.

"Well you don't even believe that you are a ghost, so you might have powers and you don't even know." He explained and I started laughing.

I mean I know that all of this is strange and scary and I shouldn't be laughing but if I don't laugh, I will have to cry and I really don't want to cry in front of him.

"Okay, I am going to fly or should I say levitate? Hehehe, fine here I go." I said when he didn't laugh, his mind is so set on the fact that I am a ghost.

I walked around the room dramatically like I was trying to make room, I honestly don't know what I am doing. "What the hell are you doing?" Lorenzo suddenly asked.

"I am trying to levitate, ghost's levitate right?" I asked teasingly... Honestly, this is ridiculous but I will humor him.

"I know you are trying to be funny but this is serious, so get right to it." He said.

I jumped up and down playfully a couple of times and nothing happened as expected. "I told you I am not a ghost." I said as I took a serious more leap just to prove to him.

"Oh shit, I knew it." He screamed just as I realized that my legs are off the ground.

"Oh my goodness Enzo, how did I get up here." Oh Lord, am I really a ghost? I panicked as I stared looking for a way to get back on the ground. "Help me Enzo." I pleaded but it's obvious he doesn't know what to do as well.

"Ummm, just calm down." How is that even possible?

"Calm down, how can I calm? Wait if I am a ghost, then it means that I am dead. Am I dead?" This is not good, what happened to me? "Oh my goodness, I am really dead." I confirmed as I tried to get back down but how can I do it when I don't even know how I got up here in the first place.

"Just take it easy, try to relax you body and direct your legs to the floor or something." He suggested.

"I can't, I don't have a body. I am a ghost remember? Oh my goodness, I am actually a ghost."
