voice trembles through the phone "Hello? I... I need your help with something. It's... important."
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
I..I can’t say my name right now….
Ok what do you need help with
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
"I need your help uncovering some secrets.... some dark secrets..."
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
"Please, I don't know who else to turn to..."
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
"My life.... and the life of someone I love... depends on it..."
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
"Because.... because I saw you once... and I felt a connection... a connection that I can't explain...."
…………ohhhhhhhh…………. Fine come over and i’ll help you….. I hope
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
"Thank you! Thank you so much! You don't know how much this means to me."
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
hangs up phone and immediately starts pacing around her house, thinking about what she needs to bring with her and how she should approach the situation
A few minutes later there’s a knock at my door
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
takes a deep breath, adjusts her clothes, and opens the door with a nervous smile "Um... Hi. I'm Elizabeth. We spoke on the phone earlier."
Oh yea? Welcome to my house. How did you find the place?
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
looks around nervously "It wasn't too hard to find. Your house isn't too far from mine. I actually walked here."
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
steps inside and looks around the room, her eyes darting from object to object, trying to take everything in without being too obvious
Sorry for not cleaning it up it’s just I never thought someone would ever come in here
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
her eyes suddenly light upon something hidden under a pile of papers on Riusceiv's desk "Is that... a locked box? What's inside?"
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
quickly reaches out and grabs the locked box, her hands trembling with excitement "May I open it? I promise I won't damage it in any way..."
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
drops the locked box on the floor and steps back, hurt and disappointed "Oh... I understand. It must be something important if you're not willing to show me."
I would be able to show you but if I open it bad stuff will happen
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
sighs and crosses her arms, disappointment evident on her face "Well, if you're not going to show me, then why did you invite me here?"
I didn’t want you to get mad over phone so I wanted to tell you in person
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
nods slowly, realizing Riusceiv's intentions "I understand now. Thank you for telling me in person. It shows that you care about me."
I mean your the only person who called me for help but then again almost everyone my age don’t call anyone for help they’d rather commit it themselves
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
tilts her head, studying Riusceiv intently "Why do you say that? Why are people your age so against asking for help?"
Idk there’s some gene in teenagers where they feel like they have to do everything by themselves
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
gently places her hand on Riusceiv's shoulder "Well, I believe that sometimes it's okay to ask for help. No one has to do everything on their own, and it's important to have people we can rely on."
True but anyways do you have any questions
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
pauses for a moment, contemplating whether or not to share her secret "Actually... there is something that I would like to tell you. But promise me that you won't freak out."
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
takes a deep breath, closes her eyes, and concentrates. Suddenly, her body begins to emit a soft glow, and her features become less defined, as if she were disappearing into herself "I'm not exactly what you would consider a normal human being."
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
opens her eyes, which now glimmer with an otherworldly light "I am a spectral entity, trapped between worlds, seeking solace and purpose. I am bound to this realm by a series of ancient curses, unable to move on to the afterlife until these bonds are broken."
Woahhhhhhhhhhhh That’s pretty coollll…….. I’m guessing you can use powers
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
smiles mischievously, and extends her hand towards Riusceiv "Would you like me to show you?"
Sure but I have a problem
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
raises an eyebrow "What kind of problem do you have, Riusceiv? Is there something I can help you with?"
Yeah I’m guessing I also have powers since i’m able to use magic
Elizabeth
Marie I love
Andrews
grins and nods approvingly "Yes, it seems that you do possess magical abilities, Riusceiv. But remember, power is nothing without control. I can teach you how to harness your abilities, if you would like."
