C6 Ward Off Evil Spirits

She heard the water running from the shower again but the voice of the singing ghost was still there. She sighed. She felt like she wanted to hug and soothe the owner the voice... but it was a ghost. He was not the gorgeous man she imagined. Drat! The ghost must've hypnotized her to bring her to the underworld.

She shook her head over again to clear her mind. She searched her closet for the crucifix made of mahogany wood which she inherited from her grandmother. It was blessed with prayers and was effective in warding off evil spirits, even bad luck.

She gripped the crucifix tightly with her hands. She strengthened her resolve. She must stay strong and help the ghost find peace so she could have her peace too. She didn't want to die yet. She still had a lot of dreams to achieve. She didn't even have a boyfriend nor had her first kiss. She didn't want to die without even experiencing any of it.

"Oh God! May his soul find peace." She uttered while opening the door to the master's bedroom.

She found the sim lighted room. Her heart started to race. The light was on. When she looked at the floor she found a pair of shoes, a checkered polo, pants and a bag that seemed to belong to a man. This was real! This was not a dream. The ghost was haunting her. Did the ghost die while taking a shower? Did he hit his head? Why couldn't his soul find peace?

The voice suddenly stopped as well as the running water. Soon she heard steps coming towards her. What was she supposed to do? Should she start praying? She dropped to her knees. Yes. For the sake of that ghost's soul. If she started praying, maybe the spirit would just disappear.

When the bathroom door opened, she automatically closed her eyes and started praying. "Oh God in heaven, please let the souls of this dead man find peace."

"Miss, what the hell are you doing?" The voice of the male ghost echoed.

Abruptly, Alondra opened her eyes and saw a gorgeous hunk standing by the shower room's doorframe. He's well built body was naked and is dripping wet. His private parts were covered with nothing but a skimpy white towel.

Her jaw dropped and her knees trembled. He must be the most beautiful man she had ever seen!

Her chest tightened and her breathing almost stopped. My God! He looked like an apparition, a gift from the heavens who went down to earth to make women like her drool over his hotness!

She held the crucifix near her heart. She didn't want to close her eyes. She couldn't. She was afraid he would just disappear in front of her. If he would be the one to bring her to the afterlife, can he just take her soul from her body? She would gladly oblige if this man would be the one to bring her to heaven's gate.

Heaven. She could imaging him bringing her to another kind of heaven. He did not look like an angel. He looked more like a sex icon. He could bring her to the abyss of sin. Worst, he could offer a virgin like her to the forces of evil.

She closed her eyes. "oh God! Save me from temptation. Don't let my soul fall to the depths of sin."

She held her breath when she heard footsteps coming towards her. She felt her hair raise with goosebumps. She felt him standing in front of her. "Please don't... please don't!" She murmured in fear. She hoped he won't touch her or she would lose her consciousness.

"Miss, what are you doing here and what are you kneeling there for?"

She held the crucifix even tighter and closer to her chest. "You should let your soul rest. You have to have peace of mind. You can't stay in this world anymore. Just go with the light."

"Light?" She felt him leveled his face to hers. She smelled his fresh breath and the soap he used. Hmmm... yummy! He did not smell rotten like a corpse nor of flowers for the dead. If all ghosts smelled and looked as good as he is, no one would definitely feel frightened. But this ghost seemed to have a temperament. He's not frightening because he was a ghost but because of the tone of his voice. Like, she could not say no or defy him. It was like he was used to being the boss. "And which light should I go? To the flickering light where you came from? Who sent you? Was it Cougar? Tell them I don't need you here."
