I was standing in the room along with Ken and Oliver when I saw Momo stirring up awake. Oliver grasped both of our hands and dragged us out of the room.
"What are you doing?" I asked him.
"What if she sees you?" He rolled his eyes at me because I failed to see the obvious.
I remained quiet and let him drag me, while Ken followed us amongst the conundrum,
"Wait, I hear something…" Ken whispered.
I frowned and focussed more closely, trying to hear whatever he was referring to. I heard a voice which was unfamiliar yet familiar. "Yeah, I will check that, hold on…" The voice spoke out.
"She is coming." Ken's already pale face turned even paler.
All of us panicked at the same time. Momo was awake, even if she was a bit disoriented now, but she was in their bedroom, which means that woman will go there. As much as I wanted to witness whatever was about to happen, I was really wary of getting caught.
Oliver suddenly clicked his fingers in a manner that suggested that he just thought of a brilliant idea. "Come with me if you want to live." He smirked.
I narrowed my eyes at him, it's not like we were alive or anything, what the hell he was talking about. He face palmed himself and dragged me into their closet. Ken however did not follow us, which made sense, since he can control his apparitions.
"You don't have to stay with me here." I whispered
"I know, but I should not risk it, even I am new to this apparition thing." He smiled at me, just before we heard the door click.
Both of us focussed on the noises that were coming from outside. There was a soft ruffling sound of Momo tossing and turning around in the bed which was accompanied by the approaching footsteps.
"Here I bought the medicines. Get up and take it." she told him in a deep scary voice.
She coughed a few times, before 'Virginia' spoke again. "Hurry up, I already missed an important meeting because of you, I don't have the whole day to spend on you!!" She seemed really annoyed.
The kid is sick is for crying out loud. How can she possibly treat her like that? My head started to boil with anger, I was so furious at her. I recalled how in Momo's dream she was brutally slapped for no unknown reason. Will she do that to her now? I have to stop her.
I was held back by Oliver who refused to let me go. I guess he expected me to behave this way and thus was equally focussed on me, as much as the interaction that was taking place outside.
"Why are you sick today? Did you take any rides with water in it? I think I made myself pretty clear you were to away from them." She asked her sternly.
It was quiet for a moment before she raised her voice. "Don't lie to me!" I heard soft whimpers this time. I guess she just shook her head earlier, since there was no verbal reply.
"I can't believe Tim left for a few days! I have to take care of this annoying kid all by myself!!" She muttered. It was low for human ears, but I heard it nevertheless.
She is literally the cruellest person I have ever seen, no matter how evil you are, how can you treat a little adorable kid like this? Just how?
"Good take another sip, it should help you relax." She told Momo. And then she muttered. "The sooner you sleep the better for me." What medicines did she give her? Were they mixed with any sedatives? The longer I listened to them the more concerned I became. Honestly at this point I was just glad she did not kill her by now.
Soon enough I heard soft snores coming, which I guess I wasn't the only one to hear because I heard that woman say. "I will not tolerate you more than necessary. Do not dare cause me unnecessary trouble." A chill ran through my spine, or at least that's what it must have felt like as a human.
I heared the fading footsteps soon after, and both me and Oliver came out of our hiding space. I saw Ken was glaring her, throwing daggers in her direction. I, however, was furious beyond any limits. I would kill her at this moment if I knew how to do that. The only thing I properly knew was to possess someone. So why not do that?
I ran towards her with the speed of light, and got inside of her. I was about to posses her when suddenly I was thrown out like a basketball, and my back hit the floor. If I were alive, I will have a broken spine by now. I repeated the same thing, only get the same results. I could not posses her no matter how hard I tried.
She could feel something was wrong as she turned around. I was worried that she will see me now, but fortunately this time, my apparition did not manifest. She looked around the place suspiciously before she sighed. I just hope, whatever she was suspecting, it was nowhere near close to the actual situation.
Soon the door opened with a loud thud, as if someone was trying to enter by breaking the door. Even she was startled for a moment, but then there was a sudden beep in her phone which diverted her attention. Her expression changed from stoic to a contemplating expression, and she left the place.
"Well, that was a total failure." I sighed angrily. I have never felt this hopeless, no matter what I tried, it just did not work.
"But, I did scare her for a moment." Ken smirked. I looked at him and realised that it was him who did that thing with the door. That made me smile a bit.
"What do we do now?" I was not a good enough ghost to make any difference. My voice quivered.
"I… have an idea. I am not sure how much it will work, but wanna give it a shot? Oliver asked me.
"Anything." I affirmed.
