I sighed as I started to make my way back to the house; I was still disappointed by the fact I couldn't get much gossip's today. I am just going to hope Yuki ends up finding some, wait… Yuki!
I was so caught up outside that I totally forgot about the fact that Yuki was the one in the house, it's not like I don't trust her with the house, it's because I left that curious detective interested girl in the house where a whole new family just moved in. I slightly shook my head, trying not to worry about the house.
"Ok, she's there haunting the house alone at the moment with a whole new family there, what would a curious kid is most likely to do? Investigate of course" I told to myself, I was more worried that her curiosity might break our cover but I have no idea on what Yuki has done anything like that or not of that kind.
I continued walking still reassuring myself that Yuki has not done anything that could possibly harm our cover. After all the trouble we went through to make the house seem as normal as possible while still haunting it was enough for both of us and if she accidently slips through the cover that means letting all that trouble go down the drain due to curiosity.
I am going to lose it but not exactly be mad at the same time. I was so worried about the fact of our cover slipping that I hadn't even noticed the fact that I had just passed by the house; oh gosh…I'm truly becoming more and more clueless now days. I, of course went through the walls of the house. (I am quite lazy to run or fly back to the gate again).
As I entered the house, my eyes widen in surprise, it was so clean in the time of an hour or so. No one would believe that this house wasn't bought or that no one lived in here for the past 3 or 4 years.
I was in absolute awe, as I walked around the house as well as searching for Yuki, I had questions filled in my mind. I searched the house till I found her in the master bedroom, there were adult clothes hanged in the hanger… my guess was that, the parents occupied this room. My attention landed back on Yuki though my eyes were still on the room, it was honestly interesting, I didn't like to curious because when I had, it harmed me.
"So…any info till-IS THAT A PHONE?!" I exclaimed as I noticed the phone in her hand. Yuki nodded as she answered, "Yeah and I know that you are wondering where I got it from and hear me out" I wasn't even ready to hear her 'Hear me out' but I just nodded in response.
Yuki sighed before continuing, "The 'Father' meaning 'Typical-frictional-man' has went out with the 'Mother' which is his wife." She paused and pointed at the phone. "The 'Mother' left the phone and as you can see, I took the chance-"
I interrupted her before she could finish the sentence, "Then how the heck did you get the password?!" I exclaimed.
"Sheesh, calm down, I was just getting to that part" Yuki answered back, "As for the password, I took a little peak when she was opening her phone. The password was literally '1231234123451234561234567123456789'" as she finished telling, I looked at her. "That's one hell of an easy yet long password" I said as she nodded. "I know right! If this phone gets stolen, the robbers mind is going to explode." She answered in an exasperated tone but honestly, that might be canon if a robber does steal that phone.
"Honestly, yeah and I am going to leave for now" I said as I stood up, Yuki looked at me as I turned to door to leave, "Oh yeah, don't forget to do it fast" i said as she looked at me like I was some creature. "What thing?" She asked, she can't be that clueless, can she? "The phone" I answered back and added another line to it, "I don't want the people finding out about our existence as ghosts here" I said but so did Yuki, we said it at the same time but there was little mimicking tone in her voice when we both told the same thing. That little demon…she knew what I was going to say so she asked me again
. "You…seriously are playing around with these now." I said as I sighed in annoyance and Yuki grinned at the fact I was annoyed, "I'll let it slip for now, as long as you don't get caught" I turned around and left the room but I swear, that girl is probably grinning like an idiot now.
I left the room. Now I have nothing to do…I could read that engineering book but I want to try something interesting, gossip hunt? Too lazy to go out again, I can question my existence again; I could to do that though I chose not to because that is nothing but me and mere overthinking, right? I sighed; I seriously had nothing to do…guess I'll just roam around the house. I looked around at first then I decided to do something stupid, this might be one of the craziest activities that I have done due to boredom. I looked up at the ceiling and chuckled a bit at my own stupidity…maybe, own craziness. Roaming around upside down from the ceiling.
it's crazy but I have my own reasons for it and one of the being, boredom. I used those 'Ghostly powers' and went to the ceiling. At first, I thought my head might hit the ceiling but instead it went through it to the attic. Guess; I'll have to careful while walking upside down. People say that walking upside down is not healthy for you, I used to wonder why? It's just the blood flowing to the head, right? Nothing that harmful but despite all my protest, I was never allowed to be upside down in the monkey bars but now that I am nothing but a mere soul with no body to control, I have no blood, which is somehow nice.
At least now I can be upside down with no scolding or so. I made myself go upside down which is struggled with a lot of misery in it. I kept on going, round and round at one point I ended up saying well, perhaps singing a song that popped up in my head.
"Spin my head right round, right round"
The situation matched the song perfectly in short. I have my reasons for sounding weird or being like that. I finally seemed to be correctly upside down with no rounds at the moment as I walked; I might even slip and then go through all that again.
I managed to walk on the ceiling, it was pretty fun going around rooms and seeing the world in such a way seemed to ease my boredom for the time. I reached another room, it was a small guest room and the nurse type caretaker of those sisters seemed to be staying. I noticed the fact that she seemed quite jacked up at a glance. I didn't like to be curious because it always harmed me but I'll let it pass and just keep one thing in my mind.
'It can't be that bad, normal at most part.' I went back on the floor after I proceeded to do a backflip. I approached her but when I was almost behind her. She immediately turned around like she sensed something; that was a first.
She seemed to notice the presence of ours when we are close enough. That wasn't a coincidence… that was a reflex, an instinct. Her senses are sharp enough to sense our presence…something is going on in the family. I turned around and left as I decided to not tell a word about it to Yuki; I don't want her to get more engrossed in it… it makes me worried. Worried, that she might hurt herself despite being a ghost…we still had emotions and she's just 14. We don't count our age, I only got a brief idea on it but all I know is that she's already broken and attached back but the cracks are still there.
It's like a broken mug, we try to attach it back but the cracks are there, the drink leaks; we touch it too hard, it might even break.
That mug is not the same anymore.
It's same for us. Souls or humans, emotional trauma does the same. Were the mug, the one who dropped it are the ones who hurt us and the cracks?
It's the side effect after we get broken and try to live normally. Emotional trauma…it's the side effect, our attempts to live normally is the drink,
it leaks because the cracks are there, a slight touch or so and all the damage will happen again.
I would've told her but I won't. She will end up hurting herself one way or the other if I tell her. I don't want her will to live happily despite being a soul to shatter, just like how my hope in reality disappeared. What happens when the broken mug falls again?
It will shatter into smaller pieces, be so much more broken that it can't be fixed again. That's my case, I could have saved her…and Yuki but as always I was too late.
I sighed as I continued roaming around. I'll not tell a single word about it to her. I looked up at ceiling and wondered; if I was early enough would I been able to protect Yuki? Maybe yes, maybe no; was it fate or was it the human mind? There's no answer to it. I shook my head slightly, trying to get such thoughts out of my head. I rarely had these thoughts when I was alive expect the fact that I questioned my own existence.
I hated reality that's why I lived with friction. It made me wonder if I everything I had done was actually done by me or was it written by someone?
These thoughts again! I can't seem to get such sad thoughts out of my head ever since the family moved in. I had it rarely when I was alive, often in the early years as souls but then after that, I didn't have much of these…till the family moved in; my suspiciousness only seemed to grow on this family. First the sisters who are in coma, then the nurse with extraordinary senses and lastly these thought's which were on the verge of disappearing are appearing again.
