‘’You… See me now?’’ His voice was just a whisper.

Now?

‘’I-uh. I’m-‘’

‘’You’re too small to get the can of tomato soup? Is that it?’’ Liam said, cutting of the lost spirit.

He glared at me. Oh right, I’m still squeezed on the reserve door. I tried to stay as normal as possible, but I failed miserably. The lost soul was still in front of me. He hadn’t moved since my brother entered the basement. I fiddled with the door knob.

‘’I-I’m coming.’’ I stuttered.

‘’What’s the matter, Enda?’’

I escaped his question by finally opening the reserve door and searching for a can of soup. I heard him sighed and going back upstairs.

I checked if the lost spirit was still there before adventuring my feet out of the reserve. Relief, I exited the reserve and shut the door before climbing the stairs. I heard Liam talking a little loud and angry. I decide to eavesdrop the conversation.

‘’… she’s a freak.’’

‘’Liam, just drop it.’’

‘’I won’t. She’s still scaring the shit out of me.’’

His last sentence rend my heart like a cold knife. I was mad and hurt: yes, he knew I had the ability to interact with the other side and the first year he thought that I was a freak like the others, but I thought it was no more in his mind. That I was only his sister. Not his freak witch sister.

‘’Who’s scaring you, Liam?’’ I interfered, arm crossed.

His only answer was a ‘’oh shit’’ look. I furiously slammed the can on the island, tears threatening to fall.

‘’Enda…’’ Liam said when I climbed the stairs.

I run into my room, shutting the door as hard as I could. I leaned on the door and felt on the floor. I curled up against the wood and hid my face in my arms. I couldn’t contain my tears now. Why? Why was he still scared of me?

Does he even know how hard it is when no one wants to be your friends? When they all avoided you, like you had some kind of incurable disease? When you see all your good old friends walked pass you and screaming they wish you died in the fire that night with your parents? When even your own family doesn’t give a shit about you?

‘’Are… are you okay?’’

I slightly jumped at the unknown voice. Now that I was back on reality, I could feel his presence. Oh, just great. It’s exactly what I need: a reminder of my stupid ability and that’s because of that my life rhythm with Hell.

‘’Go away. I’m not ready yet to help you.’’ I said, not lifting my head to look at the lost spirit.

‘’I just want to help you.’’

‘’If you want to help, go away.’’ I said, louder.

‘’No.’’

I lifted fiercely my head. I was tired of his little persistence. I was startle when I realise he was knelt down, just an inch from my face. He was just like in the basement; extremely pale.

‘’Listen, I’m supposed to sent you in Raj, but if you continue, I’ll have the pleasure to make Had your final destination.’’

‘’Okay, Okay.’’

The silence came back awkwardly. He was still there. Didn’t he get the message?

‘’Seriously, just go for now. Come back tomorrow, alright? I’ll guide you through all the things you’ve been over, I promise.’’ I clarified my mind.

He was still looking at me, or more staring at me, like I’ve said the dumbness thing ever. I can understand: this guy just died and he doesn’t know where to go. He knows nothing about the other side. But he didn’t seemed frighten by the situation. He was more calm than the other lost souls I’ve assisted to Raj –and unfortunately to Had. But when he finally understood I wanted him to go away, his features tense up. He opened a few times his mouth, but apparently, no words wanted to go out.

‘’Hello!’’ I waved my left hand in front of his eyes, to get back his attention. ‘’You know, you go away just like you did in the basement.’’

‘’Oh, I wasn’t exactly gone. I-I was pacing in the other room. I was wonder-‘’ He suddenly closed his mouth.

His face was now showing a worried look and he avoided my eyes. Obviously, he said too much. But I didn’t get it anyway and I just pushed his hesitation in the back on my mind.

‘’Anyway… I have to go back sooner or later to this beautiful life down there.’’ I sarcastically said.

THIS was the dumbest thing to say to a dead one! He stood up, clearly hurt about my last statement.
