Chapter 31: REDEMPTION; I DON'T NEED HELP FROM A GHOST
No Diana, that's not what Ryner would want said Rita. Earlier today when they ambushed him and a girl named Shimoya and were beating the crap out of him, I helped him out by scaring them away but he was really upset with me and said a lot of hurtful things to me that I didn't like at all. I didn't know that he was going through all of this and before I came into his life he had a score to settle with that Tyler and I distracted him from that. I have to go ahead and apologize for intervening said Rita as she floated off back to school.
Wait Rita, don't go yet said Diana as she rushed outside of the house only to see that Rita had already vanished. The timer is up, I need to find Jack, he might be able to help me get my hands on those talismans so I can continue seeing her said Diana as she ran back inside.
.
Looking back, I remember how there where some strange phenomenons occurring around me when I was a child. Of course at the time I didn't know that I was capable of seeing ghost. There was a little girl that I use to play with at the riverbank. She had a beautiful smile and I was happy that I was able to come home after school and play with her every single day.
I was naive, only a seven year old kid so how could I know that she was dead? One day when it was raining my older sister diana who was about thirteen at the time warned me not to leave the house and I did adhere to her however, still thought about seeing the girl that day.
I felt a bit sad so I sat at the window only to see the girl standing at outside our house and then she took off towards our usual spot. I ran out in the rain and chased her all the way to the riverbank. After I reached the riverbank the girl turned around and looked at me with a smile. She then jumped into the water and just as I was going to go in after her, my big sister stopped me just in time. And not long after we found out on the news that the little girl was already found floating up the river a month before we met said Ryner to himself.
I'll be right back Shimoya, just take it easy and rest up for now. Yes, I will thank you said Shimoya with a smile. Ryner left the infirmary and made his way to the bathroom to use the standing toilet. I know that she was only trying to help but, this is my fight and I need to end it alone. She probably won't ever speak to me again after all those horrible things I've said to her said Ryner to himself.
Ryner!! Shouted Rita as she popped her head through the wall. Startled, Ryner jumped backwards and stumbled to the floor. What the hell is wrong with you Rita? You scared me half to death!! Shouted Ryner. I thought you got use to seeing ghosts pop through walls but I guess not said Rita as she chuckled.
Listen, I'm sorry, I had no right to intervene in that fight. Your older sister and my best friend Diana told me everything. About how you were bullied for standing up for your classmates and how you were preparing to fight him for a very long time.
I understand all that but I couldn't just leave like that and watch them hurt you so badly, I couldn't bare to see you in pain said Rita as tears rolled down her cheek. If anything I was the one who was insensitive, I'm sorry Rita, you were only trying to help me and I said all those terrible things to you. It's okay, I'm just glad you're safe said Rita as she hugged Ryner.
Um is that dude okay? He's been on the floor talking to himself for ten minutes Asked a boy. Just let him be he's one of the demented students said another boy. Listen I don't need your help okay, I'll deal with Tyler and his goons by myself. Okay, but five against one is really unfair so how about I take on his friends and you get to fight him one on one. Nothing I say would never stop you from helping me would it? Asked Ryner.
No, nothing at all. Fine you can help but please promise me that you won't interfere In my fight against Tyler because if I don't beat him with my own strength I'll never feel at ease ever again.
