《Ghost Girl, Ghost Girl. She Gonna Take Your Soul!》Chapter 2: Haunting the Home (I)
Advertisement
It was late at night and the parents were exhausted from the police officer's questioning.
They dressed into fitting clothes for slumber and quickly went into bed. They turned the heat up a bit, because their room was suddenly cold.
Ghost Girl stood over her parent's bed. If she had unfinished business, then it had to be them. But what can she do? Go to the police and write ghostly messages like: 'I WAS MURDERED! SEEK JUSTICE FOR ME!!'
Normal people would freak out and probably call the priest!
Besides, would anyone care about the strange death of a run-of-the-mill teenager? Excluding her horrid home life, life at school was average as it comes. Semi-good grades, a few associates to hang with, addict of the internet, and maybe nerdy tendecies.
"I will have to do it myself," said Ghost Girl.
Ghost Girl reached her hand towards the mother but it just went through her. The mother shivered from a sudden coldness. Ghost Girl leaped back a little, thought she had awaken her mother.
Ghost Girl went towards her parents' bathroom. She flipped the switch of the bathroom light.
"Okay...I can still touch stuff."
Ghost Girl tried to pick up various objects: toothbrushes, floss, hair dryer, towels, and other things.
Ghost Girl found out that the she can only carried things, if its a pound or less for several seconds. When she tried to touched her parents, her hand phased through them. So, she can hold onto physical objects but can't touch the living.
Damn. She just needed to strangle them. Now what?
She looked around her parents' room. First... she was gonna mess with them.
***
Morning came. An alarm from the father's phone was going off. He then snoozed the alarm and slowly got up.
He dragged himself to the bathroom and be prepared for work. The death of his child didn't stop the daily routines that was embedded inside his DNA.

He stared at the mirror and saw a ghostly figure of his daughter. He spurned his head around quickly but didn't find anything.
"Ahhh!" The mother screamed.
The father rushed to his wife and saw her pulling her hair out. The father yelled: "What happened!?"
"My ring! It's gone!" The mother tried to search everywhere for her wedding ring. It was a very expensive ring, with a huge diamond on it.
The father can't be late for work. "Keep looking for it! It can't be far." The start of the morning wasn't looking favorable for him and he was annoyed.
Since the mother can't make breakfast, the father will make a quick one. He quickly grabbed a bowl, cereal, and milk. He ignored the blood stain on the ground.
He quickly took a bite and spitted his food! "Ow!" He spitted towards the ground and there was centipede! The father stomped the bug and saw there were a few other bugs as well! The father was so disgusted, he ran out the house and tried to drive away. Except his tires were flat!
The father got out of his car and was furious! "Hey! Is this some kind of plank!? Some yourself!!"
He was yelling on the top of his lungs in public. He was known to had quite a temper in the neighborhood. His yelling wasn't a surprise but this early in the morning?
***
Ghost Girl was watching all this and was amused. Well, she didn't do much in regards to pranks. Hiding a ring. Putting bugs in the cereal box. Was there anything more she could do? As an underpowered ghost, she can't do much.
She needed to plan out their "accidental deaths," and get it over quick.
Thinking about staying like this for eternity unnerved her.

Things change when she finds a wounded sorceress in the woods and decides to help the woman in the hopes of a hefty reward. Ezeas is a Nyxan scout, sent out to retrieve an important weapon, believed to be in the possession of a crafty sorceress. His country is on the brink of war and needs the help of the dragons, only given to those who posses a bit of the mystical beasts' essence .~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "If you did not have to limit yourself to...anything. What would you wish for? What is your truest desire, Saelina?" "Power." The answer came without deliberation or pause. "The power to never starve, to stand on my own, without someone holding me up. To reject whomever I want, whenever I want." Tahlisa's gaze became more intent and she moved close to her rescuer. "Say you had that power, right here, right now. What would you do?" Saelina smiled cruelly. It was a wholly new expression, yet it somehow made her features terrifyingly beautiful, Tahlisa realized. "I'd burn down the Tower and force the Harrows to watch as their home, their legacy turns to ash."

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

This time, he sought to do nothing after realizing the hopelessness of it all. Aventina wanted to do nothing more than to follow her father’s footsteps. On a retaliation raid against her tribe’s enemies, her brothers perished. Spared by a leader of her enemies, she returned home to find herself the chief of her tribe. Bolahulag, half-civilized and half-barbarian, half-lowborn and half-royal. Raised in his mother’s civilized tent in a sea of barbaric shelters, Bolahulag was hesitant to follow his paternal way of life. After a battle between a civilized king and his father, Bolahulag was sent as hostage to learn the economy and military of the nation his father defeated. Derai knew nothing more than being an orphan, but when a merchant took her in, the world she thought impossible soon became a reality. Monghe, stuck in a school exemplifying strength for most of his life, began to understand what he needed to do in order to be strong instead of weak. Story is mostly about nothing. Fermboi does most of the nothing. Aventina does most of the military things. Bolahulag does a balance of economy and military. Derai focuses on economy. Monghe spitfires what it means to be a typical hero. Hopefully this is enough to give a general idea to people who don’t like going blind aside from the work being purportedly “good.” Who am I kidding, my writing is terrible. I hope it improves though.
