6. SEE - APPARITION
Kay sat next to her on the train but not too close, he held her bag in his arms. They had said nothing as the train went to the outskirt region of the city.
Sasha kept mute.
Kay gulped down surprised to be going out with a girl even if it was her home. It made his heart race.
WHOMP!
Sasha pressed her hand down on his chest causing him to freeze as if dipped in icy water.
"Whatever you are doing, don't!" She ordered in a firm tone. "If your spiritual energy continues to rise, they will sense you."
"They?" Kay gulped down as he looked to see a group of half naked women with deformed faces. They all turn sharply to face him and immediately every soul in the train vanished from existence leaving them and him alone.
His heart jumped but he could still feel Sasha presence and hear her voice. "If you see them. They see you. The more you see them, the more they come to you."
"N-- n-- not hel-ping!" Kay stammered as the deformed women started to walk towards him in a coordinated manner. "They are coming...!"
He panicked.
Sasha tried to calm him down. "What you are seeing is merely an apparition caused by a number of spirits clustered together in a location. It is usually harmless, if uncle was right."
Kay gulped down. "And if he was wrong?"
"Worst case scenario, you die! Horribly!" She said briskly.
Kay clutched on to her hand out of fright. "Why isn't it happening to you?"
Sasha could only come up with one possible response. "My earrings given to ke by my uncle are probably protection items or something. Just try some slow easy breathing and your body will become invisible to them."
"W- w- why?" He stammered. "Your uncle tell you that?"
Sasha smiled awkwardly. "Actually it was some Kung Fu movie I watched recently."
"They're getting closer!" He almost screamed.
Sasha clamped her hand on his mouth and spoke into his ear. "Just because you're in an apparition doesn't mean others are. In truth your body is still here where people can see you mumbling so hush. It will pass over soon--"
"I hope!"
Kay held his breath as one of the deformed females reached him and started to sniff at his face. He sank into his seat out if fear but that did not good. There was a pungent air made him retch had he not held himself back.
"You can see me." She moaned like someone on the verge of death. "To enter our domain you must either be a bereaved spiritt or a spiritualist, so which are you?"
Kay mumbled as he shivered evidently. "Sorry. I am just a frightened child. Please, I'm sorry." By his good nature he was bound to answer any and every question thrown at him.
Sasha gripped his chest tighter. "Four eyes, you idiot. Never engage in a conversation with the dead, geez you haven't seen an horror movie or what?"
"So you step into our domain and just expect to leave?" Said one of the four deformed women. "I will make your scream until you drop."
Kay cried and started to beg. "Please, sorry! Sorry!"
Eyes of the other passengers strayed to them. Watching their frantic display with confusion in their eyes.
Sasha bit her lower lip. "This is bad, really bad. I will never doubt uncle on the supernatural ever again."
An officer walked up to them, seeing Kay holding his head and shivering in fear and Sasha sitting next to him. "What be-eth the problem kiddies? Is your little friend in the alright of mind?"
Sasha was left with no appropriate words to justify herself. "He's urm, practicing for a school play. Terror Train, he got the leading role so he's just so pumped."
"Uh?" The officer looked at her with disbelief labeled in his eyes. "Hey, boy! Look up."
Kay shivered and mumbled something only the spirit he conversed with understood. "Leave me alone please."
The officer was now more interested in what was going on with the boy so he reached for him. "I think that will be a bad idea!" Sasha said in a chirpy tone. "But no one ever listens..."
The officer was jolted as Kay's body felt ice cold on his grip. "Blimey! He's freezing!! No wonder you're trembling, I should get you a blank--" as he pulled back his hand sharply he bumped Kay's glasses out of his face. "Oh, sorry 'bout tha--"
A huge miat of smoke rose from his body as Kay's hair morphed white. "Well, what do you know?" Sasha bit down on her nails. "He's back!"
The officer and everyone on the train screamed from fear.
"Wowee!! Now I'm all fired up!!" Adult Kay rose from his seat with his uniform morphing white. "You ugly ladies are in for a beatin'."
