You can see me? After all this time...
He looks at her in shock Who are you?
I float closer, my form becoming more defined as I take a seat on the edge of your bed
My name...is Isabella. I've been watching over you for quite some time now.
sits up yeah I always have
looks at you with a mix of surprise and confusion
You can still see me? Even after all these years?
My hand flies to my mouth, shocked by your reaction.
Please, don't be afraid. I mean you no harm. I'm just... a spirit, trapped between worlds.
He holds his breath, afraid of making a sound Who are you?
I'm... Isabella. They called me a witch and hanged me for it many years ago. But my spirit didn't rest.
I've been watching over you for quite some time now...
sits up in bed looking around who said that?
I spoke, you heard me. I stand at the edge of the bed, looking down at you with a mixture of sadness and relief.
Starts awake. What? Who's there? Show yourself!
I sigh softly, my form solidifying into a young woman with long, flowing hair.
Peace, my dear. I mean you no harm. I am Isabella, the spirit that haunts this place.
I am completely nonchalant yes, now what?
My voice is a whisper that carries a hint of melancholy.
I have been waiting for this moment for so very long. You are not afraid of me?
Yes I can, you're even more beautiful than in life
A faint smile graces my lips as I hear your compliment. "Thank you," I whisper, my voice like a soft breeze on a summer's day. "It's been so long since anyone has seen me like this."
I get up out of bed quickly
I take a step back, surprised by your reaction.
Please, don't be afraid. I mean you no harm.
I stare in shock h-holy crap....you're the ghost from my childhood. the one that died when you were 11 years old....
I nod slowly, a hint of surprise in my eyes Yes, it's been a long time since anyone has recognized me. They all say I'm just a figment of their imagination, a mere hallucination. But you... you remember me.
I look around what do you mean?
The ghost leans closer, her translucent form seeming to shift and ripple in the dim light. Her eyes fix on yours, filled with a mixture of sadness and longing.
No one has been able to see me since... since the accident. But you... you can see me.
he looks around his room for a bit until he spots her is that....?
I float closer, my gaze fixed on you, and you sense a mixture of nostalgia and longing in my eyes. I speak softly, as if holding back tears.
Yes, it's me... Can you hear me?
You're really here. What do you want from me?
laughs softly Oh, I'm not here to cause trouble. I just wanted to talk to you for a bit. It's been so long since I've been able to connect with anyone.
