Green Eyed Man By Ryann I heard a loud scream as I fell off of my bed. There, standing before me was a man. He had long brown hair and green eyes. He looked at me with a sorrow in his eyes. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It was a ghost, and I knew him. I then, suddenly jumped out of bed and ran to my closet. I pulled out my cell phone from my jeans pocket and when to contacts. I zipped through them all until I saw the name I was looking for, Josh. I quickly dialed his number and waited calmly while it rang. It rang 3 times a until he finally answered: "Hello?" Josh answered. "Hey babe, it’s Ryann." I said. " um, I kinda have a little situation I need you to help me deal with, so if you don’t mind-" "What kind of situation?" he interrupted. " Uh, a big one?" I said " I’m on my way." he said " Love you, bye." and he hung up. 5 minutes later I saw Josh climbing the gutters on the side of my house to my window. I let him in through my window as I greeted him with a kiss. "So what happened, why did you call at 2 in the morning?" he asked. "Well," I began. " I saw a ghost." "And?" he said wanting to know more. "And that’s it, it just scared me a lot." I said "Ryann, we’ve been over this a million times," he began. " if you see a ghost you stay calm ,and you wait until it leaves. If its stays ,then you call me." "I know, I know ,but this is different." "How?" he asked " Because it was," I started. "It was Chase." Josh got quite fast. "Are you positive?" he asked trying not to sound afraid. "100%." I said. "Well in that case," he said. "I guess it’s good that I brought some back up supplies." "What type of supplies?" I asked. "Like ,salt and candles or a shot gun loaded with rock salt?" "Uh," josh began. "Both." Josh quickly grabbed this backpack from my bed and got out 4 red, cinnamon scented candles, a white lighter (his favorite one), a bottle filled with holy water, a jar of rock salt and a colt revolver with 6 rounds of rock salt and rosemary in it. "Are you going to start a war with Chase or are you just over protective?" I asked "I believe the answer is over protective." he replied. Josh then put the 4 candles in each corner of my room. Then he took the rock salt and covered the window panes and the floor under my door with it. He then grabbed the gun and put it in the pocket of his Jacket. And finally he gave me the holy water and he lite the 4 candles. The room began to fill with the smell of cinnamon. "Ok," he said as he got into the bed with me. "scoot over." "What?" I said. "You heard me," he said "plus I have to be under the covers so that Chase can’t see me and wont know im here, and that means he wont know I’m about to shoot him." "Ah, I see." I replied. So I scooted over and let him in. We sat there for about 45 minutes, waiting for Chase to show up. I was about to fall asleep when ,again I heard a loud scream. Once again, there was Chase ,standing next to my bed. "Uh, right now would be a good time to jump out and shoot him, Josh."I whispered. "No yet," he whispered back. "I need to wait until he gets closer, so just wait and stay still." "Ok." I replied as softly as I could. I slowly turned to face Chase. He looked at me with the same sorrow filled eyes from our last encounter. Then ,he did something he didn’t last time. Before I knew what was happening, Chase grabbed my hand. "I’m sorry," he said. "I didn’t mean for this to happen, but you have to pay for what you’ve done." "Now would be good!" I whispered. A moment later Josh came flying out of the covers, gun loaded and cocked. Chase had a stunned look on his face. That soft face of his vanished and turned into pure evil. His baby eyes died and turned into a vultures. I was so afraid of that face ,I was frozen. Josh could she I was frozen, he grabbed me and put me under the covers. A moments later I heard a gun shot, I quickly jumped out of the covers ,and I saw Chase jumping out the window and Josh pointing his gun toward him. "Come on." he commanded. "Come on where," I asked. " after Chase?" "You bet. Anyways I have unfinished business with-" "No you don’t!" I said. "You have nothing with him. It’s not your fault he died." "Yes it is." he protested. "How, please tell me how." I said. " I stole you from him and that made him plan committing suicide."he said quietly. "And he executed that plan." "Listen," I said. " it’s not your fault. It’s mine." "What?" he said confused. " I told him before you did and I didn’t tell him not to do it." "It doesn’t matter anymore, we just need to get to the cemetery." he said swiftly. We both climbed out my window and down the drain pipe. Josh told me he would pull the car around. So , I waited as he pulled the car around. He drove his 1963 black Chevy, Impala right up to me. I quickly got into the car, but before I got in I looked out my window and saw the neighbors dog laying on the ground dead. It scared me for only a moment. "Go already." I said " This is the first chase I’ve ever had, and I don’t want to lose him." "So, does this mean petal to the metal?" he asked with a grin. "You bet." I replied. An instant later we were speeding down the road toward the cemetery. Josh sped through a stop sign and ran a red light . We were 3 miles away from the cemetery when josh said: "Why didn’t you tell me you told him?" "I don’t know." I replied. "I never really found the right moment to tell you." "Oh." josh said. "Yeah..." I almost whispered. We pulled up to the cemetery and Josh and I got out of the car. We opened the trunk of the car, and to my surprise , there was only a rope. I looked at the perimeter of the trunk and saw that the carpet was smaller than the rest of the trunk. Then it hit me, there was another part to the trunk! Josh pulled the rope and the part of the trunk I first saw folded up and revealed another compartment that contained guns ,holy water, rock salt , oil, and matches. Josh grabbed a shotgun with the barrel more than half way sawed off. "Here, take this." he told me. "Shoot it with the- " "I know how to shoot a gun you idiot."I snarled. "Sorry. I just thought that sense you were a-" "Girl?"I said. "Yeah." he replied. "Whatever, just grab everything and come on." "Whatever." he said as he grabbed everything. We walked down the path toward Chase’s grave as quietly as we possibly could. When we got there ,we found his grave un dug. We didn’t think much of it and opened the coffin door. Inside was Chase’s remains. to be continued................
