Chereads / Romania 5th Hunter Team / Chapter 12 - Ghost powers

Chapter 12 - Ghost powers

***

A few days ago, when I was in the third week of the school, one of my dead classmates and that one is Jacob because he is the only one who is actually dead and not George who listen every day to the tragic songs. After all, he is in "depression" which isn't actually a depression but just a mode to tell to the people around him he needs attention.

I had the subject Romanian language and literature back then, and Jacob, the ghost classmate has decided to do something that will help us make the hour goes smoothly and even in a fun way. That day I have also learned that the ghosts have quite useful power, possessing bodies. Yeah... This kind of superpowers at ghosts exist in fictional and novels about mystery and fantasy if they reach a scary chapter with ghosts. But these superpowers allow them to possess someone for a nick of time, somewhere at one hour if I have to remember what Jacob told me after at Romanian language hour.

In short, Jacob possessed the teacher who was teaching us about Mihail Sadoveanu and his novels, short stories, and the place where he lived. When Jacob has possessed the teacher, he has decided to talk to them about the novels these days, which many classmates know about it and even I know about some novels like that. In the rest hour, we talked about how the writer is exaggerating when they write about ghosts in their horror novels and how they massacre the zombies in novels and movies. "Everyone knows the zombies cannot be killed because they are already dead. Whoever thinks that the zombie can be killed by one single bullet must be an idiot." says at that class when someone asks in what way is better to kill zombies. "Also, not all vampires are beautiful" he responds to one of my classmates who was in love with vampires until he discovers Korean culture. "And trying to create a portal without magic will never work, or even using technology from the future," says to a guy who asked how can you create a portal in non-fantasy books and non-science fiction.

After the hour has passed, the teacher took her things and left the classroom, but Jacob was still possessing her until the teacher's body arrives at the Staffroom, and there, Jacob has left the body of the teacher and come back to the class. I don't know what happens if a ghost left the body of someone possessed but Jacob told me that nothing bad will happens, they will just get sleepy.

I was in the bedroom, and I was thinking about what I am going to do if my Mom will go to school and find out about the letter that it doesn't belong to the school but my boss, Hengar. And, someone was at my window who has followed. If that person was somebody unknown I could've just come to him and punch his testicles so hard, that the baby he will make will be on handicap case. But at the window, was my teammates and my classmate, Jacob, the ghost who have almost three hundred years old.

"Good evening, Lydia!" says Jacob who goes through the window because he's a ghost and can't knock on the window to let him in like any normal person.

"Good evening, Jacob! What are you doing here?" I asked him. "Did you spy on me?"

"No. I wouldn't even spy on you in the first place because a woman is even complicated for a ghost who has three hundred years."

"I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said about me if you're going to help me."

"In what?"

"Well, Hengar has given me a letter to send to my Mom. He believes that if I send this letter from the principal of my school to my mother, she will let me go to Buzau to participate in an important mission. And-"

"Wait! Wait! Buzău isn't in the hands of the 3rd Team?"

When Jacob asked this question, I was a little taken aback, as far as I can remember from the days when I was a freshman in the number five hunting team, Hengar told me that there are five teams of hunters, one has the western part of Romania, the second has the north and a portion of the east, the third has the rest of the east, and teams number four and five have to divide the rest of the areas, which is a bit difficult because we have the largest area to protect, but at least it's good because I didn't get to protect the Black Sea, which is one of the most dangerous oceans because of fishes who can be bigger than even Everest Mountain. What is the reason Hengar is sending me to the third zone? Is it because part of that team is gone? No, team number three is one of the strongest in Romania. Is it because a village disappeared overnight? Impossible, there are no such creatures, at least not in the area of sector three. Is it because a monster has appeared that can be stopped by the werewolf? This could be ovarian because sector three does not have hunters who can counter the werewolves.

"Um, Lydia." says Jacob. "Do you dream with your eyes open or do you think?"

"That's it!" I say to Jacob after I had a revelation.

"Are you going to commit homicide?"

"What? NO!" I say to Jacob. "I got a plan, and I need your help."

"Oh... First time when you actually need my help outside the fighting zone? I am all ears." says Jacob making his ears bigger to listen to what I am going to say to him.

"Look! You can possess people, right?"

"Yes." says Jacob with his big ears.

"Then, you can possess anyone for an hour?"

"Yes."

"And you can possess two people at the same time?"

"No. I cannot do that."

"Alright. Then, can you possess my homeroom teacher when my mother will go there and talk to him?"

"I can do it... but, it will cost you."

"How much you need?"

"I do not need money, I just wanted your approval to let me escort you."

"Alright..."

"That easy!"

"You are a ghost, you can basically go anywhere and I have started to get used to that feeling that you are following me everywhere, expect at the bathroom, SPA, or my neighbor house."

"It is not my problem that her dog doesn't like me. Anyway, do you accept my offer?"

"Yes."

Both of us tried to shake our hands, but we couldn't because Jacob is a ghost and I am a monster, but half-monster-half-human. It is decided, tomorrow my ghost teammates will possess my homeroom teacher and I will go to Buzău and help sector three. And I have really thought I'll meet there my crush, but it is better that way. It could have been worse.

***

Meanwhile, in Buzău, three human corpses were laying on the roofs at the abandoned building, those three corpses belong to the 3rd Hunter team. Two of those corpses didn't breathe, but the third one is still breathing. He cannot clearly see anything because is night and his vision is blurry. But could feel that someone is there and hear him talking.

"Mission gelöst, Berehemondot. Ich habe einen Teil von Team Nummer drei zerstört. Die anderen neun Mitglieder werden bald kommen, um die Situation zu untersuchen, und wenn sie es tun, werde ich sie alle töten!" says the humans onsterin Germany language, which can be translated such as: "Mission solved, Berehemondot. I destroyed a part of team number three. The other nine members will come to investigate the situation soon, and when they do, I will kill them all!"

After that monster has finished talking on his telecommunication device, that survivor has seen the monster coming closer to him. The monster who was looking at the survivor had five red eyes on his face and a mouth with sharp teeth like those from sharks. The monster looked at the face of the survivor and he could tell he is still breathing and that he will die soon, but the monster has decided to end this much faster.

He lifts his right metal claw and uses it to penetrate the stomach of the surviving needle. Who shouted as loud as he could, but that couldn't help him at all because this monster was already starting to eat his organs. A few seconds before that survivor dies, he notices how the German-speaking monster eats his large and small intestine as if it were spaghetti pasta. After he has finished eating the intestines, he told that survivor, who is now dead.

"Dein Darm ist köstlich." which can be translated as: "Your intestines are delicious."

"So this the plan tomorrow?" asks Jacob the ghost which he is still at Lydia's house. "Well... I cannot guarantee that it will work, but I could try."

"It has to work. I have to go there." I say to Jacob the ghost. "What if there is my crush and he is waiting for me for a date?"

"You should stop reading or watching that much dramas sometimes. Like I always said, work is work, and distraction is a distraction."

After a few seconds of discussing the plan for tomorrow, Jacob said goodbye and left my house and going to take the necessary things to make this plan works.
