章節 22: Chapter 21 Cal

Spirits and demons.

There are differences between spirits and demons. Spirits are the remaining of the life that once was for middle world. Or they can be spirits that have always been such as entities from upper-world.

Demons are nasty and terrifying entities that have only one goal. To harm. They hail from underworld. Bleeding through the pores of the earth and into the world of the living to create chaos and death. They are darkness.

...

It's been nearly a month since that thing haunted me. It feels like it's been longer. I've been trying to figure out what it is, but nothing comes to mind. My brothers want me to leave it alone. They believe it to be a delusion. But alas, I cannot suffer the same thought. There is a fear that holds onto me like a parasite. It feeds on my soul. My very existence. To say I felt life my old self would be a lie, for I feel quite the opposite. My ability to socialize is also not what it once was. I fear I this could be permanent.

Drake and Son are mostly busy with their lives, but Ryan has started to suspect something about my current investigations into this town. I can't let him know how wrecked I am over this. I don't want him to suggest I see a psychologist. I know how messed up I am. I was planning on getting all the childishness out of my system and then looking for a job here. But it obviously didn't work out. This ghost business really screwed things up.

Drake's fed up with something and is heading out today. Son left early as well to prepare for the Grand Opening for his restaurant. Ryan's been on the phone a lot recently so I have the day to poke around for answers. In the past few weeks I found out a lot of information on Seyuta. This town or half a town is old as hell. It's been here since before America was established. Filled with shamans, warrior women, and a story about Spirit Fighters...no that's wrong. I mean Spirit Warriors...or Warrior. Ya'no is actually a warrior woman I think. I overheard her speaking to Tsula about it the other day. I invited them here today to hang out. The twins have been MIA since Luca started working for the Seyuta police station a few weeks ago. Yeah...apparently not only is Luca's elder brother the chief of police in Seyuta but he's also some shaman like dude. To think this spirit stuff is happening in real life is crazy. Though it explains my haunting. If one thing exists its best to believe they all exist until proven wrong. Anyway, Yona is Yona. She's like a big sister to me. Always worrying and caring. She's so warm I can melt in her kindness. Even though we only met about a month ago I deeply care for these people. But I can tell they're still hiding stuff from me. I confronted them about the things I saw and they just dismiss it. Yona seemed like she she was going to open up to me but unfortunately I haven't seen her in three days. She's not at her house either. I hope nothing happened to her. The cold is approaching. And I can feel that along with the cold is going to be something...dark. I just wish I could fight it.....somehow.

The first person i need to speak to about this is Tsula. She seems to know everything. Or act like she does at the very least. Her foxy personality really tends to lighten my mood but she can be quite the carnivore when it comes to personal lives. As much as i hate snooping I'm going to have to see her about the secret lives in Seyuta. Maybe it'll help me understand all the weirdness. And by weirdness i mean spirits and whatnot. Yeah...Spirits. Again. I.Am.Not.Crazy. But...I have been seeing that boy. You know...one that showed up a few weeks ago in our house. The one that freaked me the hell out with his disturbed eyes and that horrifying screech. Yeah. That little demon. No seriously. I think its a demon. Specifically a Wraith. Wraith are vengeful undead creatures who have died recently. Thank you google. I also think Mr. Mime is a spirit too. I don't know though. He could just be a strange old man. I did hear that there is a center for the elderly here in Seyuta. Never confirmed it myself. But I will.

Now is the morning of my great plan. I think its a Tuesday. The first thing I'll do is hit up Tsula. I'll ask her to meet me at the park.

Next, I'll see about that home for the elderly in Seyuta. Hopefully Tsula will give me some answers on that as well. The whereabouts I mean.

Afterwards, I guess I'll see about Luca. Luca works with his elder brother now so if I'm looking into shamans and such the best person for me to talk to would be Luca. Hopefully he'll open up to me on this. Though I think I already mentioned this before.

Finally, the last thing I need to see is about is that wraith. I asked around about any recent disappearances because asking if any children died recently seems a little morbid in such a wholesome place as Old Seyuta. As far as the disappearances is concerned some of the town folk seemed rather uneasy about it. One had told me that something happened a good bit ago about 12 children maybe being kidnaped. They were never found. It took me a whole week just to get that bit of info. I'm pretty sure no one wants to talk about something like that happening in a small peaceful village like Old Seyuta. I say peaceful but honestly over the past few weeks I've been getting to know just how uneasy this place is. The timely gathering in the park seems to be just for vibes. It seems like it happens to keep the morale of the town up. Speaking of morale these people stress over being happy and not having any "Negative Aura". I mean generally having a happy community is idea, but these people go to the length of faking it until ya make it.

The Warrior Women, The Wraith, Mr. Mime, Luca, Tsula, and the town's strange behavior. That is my objective today.

Currently I'm getting dressed. The shower felt like needles on my spine. Numbness? This has been happening ever since the encounter with that thing. As in the thing that threw my brother across the room. That is still a mystery to me and honestly I'm not even going to pursue it like my current objectives. Why? Well because as Top priority as that sounds its a big thing. I can just feel it. Why don't my brothers and I leave town you might ask...well...I honestly don't know. I have a feeling that won't change anything. Maybe my brothers feel the way because none of them have made an attempt to leave, nor have we talked about leaving. We have talked about moving to another home here though but in the end we just ended up staying here.

Now is time for me to leave. So I make my exit first from my room and then the front door.

Time to go into a dangerous world of infinite possibilities.
