"Hey!" the old woman shouted, trying to call their attention. She approached them in a hurry. People were surprised by her actions and moved away. In the eyes of others, they do not see Lily and Nadine. The old woman looked stupid pointing her finger on a space behind Ereen. Ereen was so shocked too.
"A-Are you talking to me?" Ereen asked shockingly.
"No! Get out of my way!" The old woman replied. She was annoyed. She almost pushed Ereen away just to catch them.
Nadine and Lily ran for their lives. But unluckily, they couldn't stay away because the old woman throw something at their back. What she did paralyzed them. They were not sure what happened next. Everything went dark. They woke up in the room!
"Nadine!" Lily screamed in terror.
"I'm here!" Nadine shouted. She was scared too but she tried to remain calm so she could think clearly.
When her vision adjusted, she gradually saw everything. She saw Lily at the corner of the room. She hurriedly approached her and hugged her tight. Both of them calmed themselves then tried to penetrate the wall to escape but they didn't succeed! They just bounced back! It seems the old woman put a seal so they couldn't penetrate it!
"Both of you cannot get out. We are surrounded by trap seals." The old woman confirmed.
The two ghosts faced the old woman. That moment, the old woman was busy making a potion. Nadine couldn't take the smell and panic. She was up to something, she was sure of it.
"W-What are you doing?" Nadine asked in fear.
"What else? I am doing something that can send you back wherever you should be!" she answered irritably and drop the mortar. She faced them. Her face was a bit red. Giving the impression that she was sick of them. "The likes of you were just a distress in the peace of humanity. Lost souls like you should have crossed over the afterlife and not disturbing people here!"
"Please! I'm begging you! Don't do this! Don't send us to the afterlife!" Lily plead. She was crying, too scared for her own life.
The old woman exhale exaggeratedly. "Hah! After what you've done? You made me looked stupid in front of those people! No. I will not let you do the same thing again. Do you have any idea what I did back there? I used my last two talismans just to catch you. It was made by my grandfather. I am saving it for lost souls who are too hard to catch. But because of you, now, it's gone! Ah, you are pissing me off!"
"We didn't do anything wrong!" Nadine exclaimed. She couldn't control it anymore. They are not bad spirits. They just want to fulfill their last mission. Is it a crime?
And Nadine was surprised when a sudden leak of unknown power came out from her. Because of her reaction, the glasses burst into pieces and everything around them was ruined.
Nadine was panting. All of a sudden, the old woman was scared, but eventually she moved on. She finished what she was doing and face her.
"S-See what you did and what you are capable of? Lost souls like you didn't have any use or purpose here. At first, you are harmless but the moment you couldn't finish your last mission here, you are going to transform into a wicked soul. You will be attached here and lose rationality. That's how lost souls evolved. Time will come, you can hurt other people just like what you did a while ago. You will become a poltergeist! You will hurt us!" the old woman shuddered and then finished making the potion. She pour that in a bottle and mix it with holy water. After that, she face them again.
"This potion contains, salt, garlic, holy water and unknown herbs that fights evil spirits of this world. Together with my prayers, lost souls like you will instantly travel afterlife. Your soul may rest in there." The old woman whispered and lift her hand so she can pour them the potion.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO—!" Lily and Nadine screamed. They both oppose. They understood her point but what the hell? They are not yet ready! They wanted to fulfill their mission!
The unknown forces leaked again. This time, it came from Lily and Nadine. Nadine could feel the strange power came out of their body, making the glasses shattered into pieces. In addition to that, there was a slight tremor too. The talisman at their back was instantly burned. The old woman screamed in terror.
And they had freedom. There's nothing the old woman could do but to scream when her old house was also destroyed by the sudden release of their extraordinary energy.
Lily and Nadine escaped. Together while holding each other hand, they went back to Mega Publishing. Just like what they always do, they hide inside.
"Nadine…" Lily whispered.
"Shh…" Nadine stopped Lily and just hugged her. Both of them were gasping for air. They remain in that position. Both of them convince themselves that they did nothing wrong. They just escaped. After their journey, they swear they will cross over and moved on. They will prove to that old lady they are not bad souls and that's the only thing they want.
The next morning, the office resume. It was the same thing running inside Nadine's head. When Nadine saw Ereen entered the room, she stood up. Ereen was the first person who came inside the office.
"She's here," Lily whispered.
Nadine's heart pounded. That's her chance! She didn't hesitate now. After what happened? Oh, she was desperate now. She needed her body. Before that woman came back and exorcise her, she will finish that mission. By hook or by crook!
Nadine inhales and exhales. She approached Ereen and possessed her. The moment she entered Ereen's body; she felt she was easily absorbed. She didn't bounce back. Her body didn't reject her but instead, she accepts her. Nadine felt that Ereen was emotionally and mentally drained. She wanted to rest. Maybe, that was the reason why Ereen's body easily accepts her.
"Nadine?" Lily called her.
"L-Lily…" Nadine whispered and looked at Lily. She was blurred. She removed Ereen's eyeglasses. Lily became clearer. It seems Nadine has a perfect vision. She didn't need to wear glasses. Nadine heard Ereen's voice that she was using. She looked at her hand on the computer monitor. She saw she was really inside her body! A total possession!
Lily's eyes widen in surprise! She was shocked too and in the end, they cried in happiness. "You did it, Nadine! You can finally finish your mission! I'm so happy for you!" Lily cried.
Nadine cried in happiness too. "Y-Yes… oh, Lily! Yes!"
Nadine didn't have any idea how long they were crying and thanking. She was really glad. She was looking for a perfect body and now, here it is. She will not waste any minute. She will write her very first story!
