whispers of a forgotten soul

The hallway flickered as she slipped through the back door. Her heart still pounding with the echoes of the ghost

"You are the choosen one ".

Those words rang louder in her mind . Suddenly she heard " Do you know what time is now ???... why do you always make me worried about you??? " she said .

I looked back only to see that it was my nanny Abigail, she took cared of me ever since I was four years old when my mother died of unknown illness. My father decided to get re-maried again after two weeks of my mother's funeral . I was forced to live with a step mother who pretend to be good only in the eyes of my father.

"I am so sorry Nanny l made you worried about me" , I said while hugging her . She is the only one who truly cares about my well-being in the house . "Does mother knows l didn't come early???" . " NO she is busy with her two sons as always, she replied. I felt so relieved to hear that as she will tell my father when he comes back from the business trip like how always she does.

I had to go to my room and quickly change into my pajamas and go downstairs to have dinner with them. I sat quietly at the table as non of us usually talks together most of the time. I hurriedly went to my room to sleep as tomorrow it going to be a new chapter of my life. I couldn't sleep as l remembered what l just witnessed back in the cave . Everything felt like a dream to me . A dream that forces you to be inside it.

It was seven o'clock in the morning, l had to rush to school. I ate my sandwiches as l run as fast as l could just to not be left out by the bus . I straightly went for my sit which was located beside the window . The morning breeze felt so relaxing as the wind blew towards me. My school is located a few kilometers from home .

We headed directly to our classroom . My school life felt so boring since l had no best friends. I think that why the universe made me to see and hear the ghost , l said to myself with a broad smile which was shown on my face . "Mmmmhhh!!! and may l please know why are you smiling ", my deskmate asked with a cunning voice . Her name is Liliana l think her parent named her after their love of the Lili flowers." Do you have a boyfriend now " , she asked . No !!! I shouted . That not the reason behind my smile . It not because am young enough or l don't want one l just think now it not the right time for me to be inlove, but most of my peers have engaged themselves in a relationship. I always feel that you need to experience love inoder to be in a relationship. I explained to her .

We had to be reminded by our teacher that it was our last year in high-school and we need to work extra hard to go to our desired university. It was time to go home then l remembered the promise l had just given out. I rushed home to change my clothes. When l entered my room and placed my bag on the chair then l felt something weird and unusual.

I heard echoes in my ears .....as if someone is calling me. Then the lights flickered- and the mirror across the room fogged over from the inside. A single word etched itself into the glass

My name
