Sean propped his head up behind his head, frustration flaring in his chest.
Everyone was calling him rebellious.
Had he rebelled? He just had his own views and values! They couldn't accept them, and turned to calling him rebellious. Anything he said was turned into a lecture against him.
Who were they to do that? Sean did not want to keep talking to Lilly.
Lilly said kindly, “Sean, | wouldn't rebel so much if | was you. You might see a ghost!" "There was this kid who was so rebellious that the rebel ghost found him, and ate him alive!” Lilly said, in that adorable voice of hers.
Sean tilted his head, staring at her with a mocking smile. "Whoa, are you trying to scare me because the advice didn't work? Listen up, | grew up with horror! | watch horror movies like | watch the news, so don't even think about trying to scare me with ghosts! It's not going to work!" Lilly said, “Uhh... Sean, do you dare open your closet?” Sean scoffed coldly, taking his legs off the table and getting up before walking towards the closet.
"Why, are you going to say there's a ghost in my closet?” There was going to be a ghost swinging from his hangers, wasn't there! Get a life, honestly! Forget about whether ghosts were real— even if they were, he wouldn't be scared.
He was the kind of person who dared to watch the scariest of movies even late at night.
"If you manage to get me even a little, I'll run out and apologize to my mother this very second...” Sean yanked the closet door open.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll that was on his hangers were clothes, and nothing else. Sean was about to burst out laughing, when he felt something moving the mirror on one of the closet doors...
Sean's full-body mirror was inside of his closet, like most closets were designed.
Sean was standing right next to the mirror when he opened the closet.
He turned his head, and saw a bloody, ghastly-looking ‘person’ draped over his shoulder. The ‘person’ stuck their head out, putting it against his face.
At the sight of Sean, the ‘person’ turned around as well to look at Sean from the mirror, their protruding eyes staring right at Sean.
He sprang backwards, his eyes widening in terror. "What the f*ck—!" Sean stepped heavily onto the weighing scale behind him, which broke from the sudden force.
Lilly said, "See? Told you you shouldn't have made promises you couldn't keep.” Sean said, "Y-y-you... Help! Get it off me!" Lilly stared at the rebel ghost on Sean's head.
All she had to do was get the rebel ghost off Sean, and he would behave. Right? She wasn't so sure.
Because the rebel ghost only possessed someone who rebelled first. It would never be attracted to possess a person otherwise.
Problems had to be solved from the root! Lilly said, "Get 'em, get ‘em!" She ran over, reaching out to grab the rebel ghost off Sean. At the same time, she asked, “Sean, what really happened in the past? Aunt Melanie said that Cathy was sick from the moment she was born. The rebel ghost possessing you has to have something to do with that." Sean's face was completely pale, unable to help flashing back to the past upon hearing Lilly's words.
His rebellious streak got the best of him, and he shoved whatever was next to him away as he roared, "I don't need your help! Get out, get out!" Just then, the bad aura of rebellion rolled out from the rebel ghost, surrounding Sean completely! Sean grew even more agitated, refusing to cooperate even more. "You're all the same, saying you want to help me, that you love me! It's all conditional!” "My Mom says she loves me, but only if I'm nice to my sister!" "My Dad says he loves me, but only if | do well in school and get straight A's!" "They'll take their love back and get mad at me the second | don't fulfill what they want! You call that sh*t love?” Adults were all so fake, pretending to be all righteous when they were the selfish ones. All that crap about love was fake! Sean walked to the bed, yanking the toy Cathy was playing with out of her grasp and breaking it.
"Cathy gets first dibs on everything, Cathy's always right! You're telling me what to do now too, making me get out there to apologize to them? My *ss!" "| like being with ghosts!" The rebel ghost leered at Lilly, chuckling slowly. "Hear that? There's no saving us. Stop being a saint, thinking you'll save us.’ The ghost wrapped itself around Sean. "Get out, get out, all of you!" "You can't catch me.’ "I'm going to be one with him, ha ha ha ha..." The rebel ghost tightened around Sean, melding his bloody, slimy body into Sean's...
Lilly reached out all of a sudden, ripping him off in one move. "You talk so much!" She said, “I couldn't get you just now, but | can get you this time around! I've eaten enough now!” Whoosh! Lilly tore the rebel ghost off like she was taking off a sticker. Lilly did not only take the ghost off. She rolled the ghost into a ball, hurling it onto the ground.
The rebel ghost let out a howl, bouncing up and down around the room like a ball...
He was panicked and angry beyond words. "Let go of me!" Lilly said, "Weren't you so cocky just now? Keep going!" She gripped the rebel ghost, throwing it against the ground and catching it before repeating herself.
And so the rebel ghost bounced around the room...
Despite the rebel ghost having been ripped off him, Sean had already reached a terrifying stage from being affected by the ghost's bad aura.
"You're all fake! To hell with you!" He shouted loudly.
Cathy was scared out of her wits. She clutched the stuffed down in her hands, trembling all over.
Sean stared at her with bloodshot eyes, glowering at her. The stuffed toy fell from Cathy's grasp.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSean grabbed Cathy in one move, dragging her towards the door. "Get out! Never come into my room again!" Cathy burst into tears at once. "No, Sean! Don't, Sean! Please! | don't want it!" "Lilly... waahh...” The latter cry for Lilly had been one of help.
Lilly ran over, yanking Cathy free with great effort.
Sean was still wilding out, shouting that all help was conditional. Lilly was full of regret and guilt— she should have just gotten the ghost off him first.
"I'm sorry, Sean!” Lilly really was very, very sorry.
Yet Sean responded with a slap. Lilly moved her face out of the way at once, but Sean's nails still nicked the skin on her cheeks a little before the slap landed on Cathy's face.
Cathy was shocked out of her wits. The gash on Lilly's face began bleeding a little as well.
Pablo's expression darkened! But before he could speak, Lilly leapt into the air and landed a slap back on Sean's face.
Thwap! "Sean, wake up!" The slap was loud and crisp, and it caught Pablo off guard.
Sean's gaze cleared up slightly, and he paused.
Who just hit him? Had Lilly just hit him? Had Lilly jumped up to hit him? Sean was five foot five, and Lilly was three and a half feet tall at most.
How had she jumped up high enough to hit him???
