Just recently, actually since Saturday, I've started seeing ghosts again. I 'kinda' just learned that Emma and Lilly (my two best friends) can see ghosts too.
But, here's the thing! I don't 'see' ghosts, I mean like how you would see a real person, I imagine them, like a flash in my head. I can always tell when they go to another place, or where they are. Emma and Lilly can see, and talk to them. Which, that kind of gets me... Hopeless. I really want to see them and talk to them, I've always wanted to.
I have quite a few stories, but I think I'll stay with the one that happened today.
In my school's locker room, there was this rumor that a girl hung herself, and haunts the shower room. Everybody passed it as a lie. But No, it's really true. Emma has talked to her before, and her name is Emerald.
So, today, I told my teacher I was going to the library, but I actually went to the locker. Well, you see... I saw this ghost, her name is Marrissa, and she was by the water fountain. I just feel like I had to see her, so I went looking for her.
In the Locker room, I looked around, (Well, I only looked in the mirror, fixing my hair...), and I heard water dripping. While I was walking to see what it was, I saw that it was the shower. Even though I felt Marrissa in the lunchroom, I called out, "Marrissa...? Marrissa?" (As I said before, I don't see ghosts, I imagine them.) And in my head, I saw a girl, with kind of long black hair on the floor, looking at me. This didn't scare me, really. But I left, kind of worried.
At 7th period, I have gym with Emma and Kristen (Kristen is Emma's friend, who can see ghosts too.) I went into the Locker room, and my locker was wide open, and my lock beside it.
I mean, nobody knows my lock combo., and Emma said it must have been Emerald.
WHICH! It was. I told Emma to go talk to her, and tell her that I'm sorry for thinking she was Marrissa. Well, Emma came back, and said that she was pissed at me. I went with Emma to talk to her, and this was our conversation: (Lol, I don't know how else to put it...)
Emma: Emerald, did you open Ashley's locker?
Emerald: Yeah, I did. So what if I did? (I can't see nor hear her, Emma just repeated her.)
Emma: Well... Why?
Emerald: Because she's a jerk and called me Marrissa.
(other words I forgot were said)
Emma: Is Marrissa real?
Emerald: Yeah, she's the one who helped me kill myself in the first place. (Or, something like that.)
Then the bell rang, and I'm pretty sure that other words were spoken, but I forget easily.
But, I want to know why I can't see ghosts, and why I can't talk to them. Is there anything I can do to improve my power?
Most people's powers are just bound so they don't hurt themselves or the people around them. They're still in time out and haven't developed the pure intent of helping others and playing nice, learning to do their jobs in this world, etc.
