I burned with rage,craving revenge.
Only their destruction would soothe me.
Dark smoke poured from my spirit,power surging.
A red-dressed ghost touched my forehead.“Little sister,becoming a vengeful spirit means hell.Since you fought so hard,I’ll give you a hand…”
Her voice faded.
My consciousness blurred.
Until Paige’s vile voice woke me.
Epilogue
With Ethan’s clean psych eval in hand,I treated him to a five-star dinner,apologizing.
The red-dressed ghost,Mila,joined us.
Over drinks,she related her story.
Mila died a thousand years ago,betrayed by her kin.
She was no saint. She sought revenge, but because of her past good deeds, she couldn’t become a vengeful spirit.
She evaded grim reapers,tormenting her enemies’souls post-death.
Vengeance done,she found no one cared about her ghost.
She drifted,chatting with spirits,until meeting Ethan at the funeral home.
She teased him,but despite his fear,he talked to her.
Intrigued,she followed him home,stunned by his miserable life.
She offered to possess him to punish Paige,but he snapped at her.
Hurt,she left,planning to deal with Paige herself—then found our bodies.
Seeing my near-vengeful spirit,she shared her power,fueling my rebirth.
I marveled—Mila could’ve returned but chose not to.
Now,she teased Ethan,downing drinks,mocking his stamina.
Ethan,defiant,turned to me and said, “Order more food—shut her up!”
Their lively bickering warmed me.
This wasn’t bad at all.
