Chapter 1 - THE TWO GHOST

"OH, SHIT! Why it isn't working?!" Nadine exclaimed. Her voice lingered around the place. She was annoyed. She tried to enter to a woman's body but she was just rejected. Nadine was a lost soul who wanted to carry out her last mission. She believes that fulfilling her last mission could end her journey and go heaven.

"You can do it, Nadine! Go!" Lily encouraged. She was a lost soul too. Her age ranged to eight to eleven years old. She was looking for her parents. That was her unfinished business in order to crossover. She wanted to see their condition before she leave.

It's been ten years since Nadine became a lost soul. At first, she couldn't believe it. She just woke up one day she was already a lost soul. She wandered for several weeks until she met Lily. She was the one who explained to her everything. She also named her Nadine because she couldn't remember even her name. The name was inspired from Lily's favorite actress Nadine Lustre who they always seen on the billboard.

She cried in frustration after she heard everything. From there, she realized why she's not capable of feeling hunger, sick, and thirst. Even when she wandered around, it was okay. It was all because she didn't really have the ability to feel that way since she was dead.

According to Lily, everyone who dies lost their memory. It was all because of the sudden disconnection of the soul to the physical body. However, memories will come back gradually. Lily heard and learned that information from the old ghost she met who already crossed over. She shared that information to Nadine.

In Lily's case, her memories came back two years ago. She remembered she died in a fire and her family survive five years ago. For now, she wants to see her family first to find out their situation before she goes in heaven.

Nadine on the other hand, remembered her dream of becoming a writer. Her memories were triggered the moment she and Lily passed on Mega Publishing. A sudden strange feeling embraced her. It was weird, they decided to wander around and looked for an answer. In the basement, they saw the printing machines to make Tagalog romance pocketbooks. Nadine was mesmerized and amazed. Her beats fast. She was excited. She suddenly felt the intense longing to have her own published books.

Since then Nadine has never left Mega. Lily leaves to find the parents from time to time but returns there to accompany her. Lily became attached to her. Nadine did the same. Nadine is deeply grateful to Lily. Because of her, she was able to comprehend everything about being a ghost.

This past few weeks, Nadine couldn't help but wandered in and out of Mega. She really wants to write her own story. She thought of a plot and of course, she was the heroine of her own story. At least in the book she has her own romance story. Ah, she just kept getting excited about the thought.

"Right! I must endure this! If I can't get into the human body, how can I write a novel, right? So I have to endure this until I succeed." she said.

"Yes! Go for it! Just look for a body you can use. How can you send a manuscript? They can't recognize you. You can't write on that condition, right?" Lily said.

Nadine nodded. "You are correct. All right. I 'm going to find someone whom I can possess." She was determined.

Nadine and Lily looked around. There a lot of people passing by. Man, woman, old and young, they looked for someone who could help them until they saw an old strange woman walking towards them. She looks in a hurry. Her hair was messy. She seemed not taking good care of herself. She was dirty. She was wearing a black is a wide-brimmed robe; she has a lot of bead necklace. Her eyes were surrounded by dark circles. She was so pale. Nadine's heart pounded the moment their gazes lock. The woman saw her!

"Exorcist! Run, Nadine!" Lily screamed.

"What?!" she replied shockingly. That was the first time they were in trouble, she didn't know what to do. She couldn't even react!

And Lily was prompt. She grabbed her hand and pulled her away. They were not normal people, they were able to penetrate the wall and hide inside Mega Publishing.

"W-Who's that?" Asked Nadine. She was worried.

"An exorcist. She has the ability to exorcise us. We need to be careful. We need to stay away from her. When she catch us, she will send us to heaven immediately even before we have finished our mission. For them, we should not be here anymore." she sadly explained.

"I-Is that so? How did she found out that we were here?" she asked anxiously.

Lily shrug. "Maybe, she was just roaming around, she had the chance to see us. There are exorcists like her. They wander and hunt like us. It was like a mission. Aside from them, psychics can also see us."

Nadine nodded. "We can't move on freely. She knows we are here. I'm just thinking, there's a possibility she will stay outside and wait for us."

"Oh my! You're right!" Lily exclaimed nervously.

Nadine clenched her fist. Her eyes narrowed as she imagined everything. "I have to find someone I can possess."

"And I have to find my parents, too. After that, even if she exorcises me, I'm okay with it." Lily cried.

They hugged each other. Nadine felt sorry for themselves. They were just a poor souls, someone was too eager to eliminate them. She wanted to scream in frustration. They are not doing anything wrong. They don't deserve that!

Nadine sighed and thought again how the mission could be accomplished.
