Chapter 17: find me

Celeste's pov******

Anna sighed, "you mean she's not with you?"

I looked down sadly and fiddled with the pillow on my lap and shook my head,"no, I thought she would be here with you and Nikki.."

Anna placed her face in her hands in a despaired motion, "where could she be? She could be anywhere, or worse-"

I snarled, "Zaida is not dead. She can't be..."

I hope she's alright. After all she was the family's baby. We couldn't bare to lose her. Elizabeth was enough.

Nikki sighed, "maybe she's not even here."

I snorted, "if all of us are here what makes you think she isn't? There's probably a reason we're here. And we need to figure it out."

Anna fiddled with her shirt and began scratching her shoulder. She seemed to be doing that a lot lately. "Hey Anna you ok?"

She nodded, "yeah it's just my birthmark... I don't know why but it's just that area that's stinging."

Nikki sat up and moved behind Anna, "shirt off, let me see it."

Anna did as she was told. Nikki whistled, "Anna did you get it tattooed??"

Anna frowned, "no, why?"

I stood up and walked behind her, once I saw her birthmark my eyes went wide.
"Anna what happened to your birthmark?"

Anna groaned, "nothing! Tell me what's wrong with it!"

I smirked, "oh nothing, it just looks like a tattoo now." Anna turned around confused, "what are you taking about?" 

Nikki motioned her to look in the full body mirror, "look for yourself."

Anna stood up and looked at her back and gasped. Her birthmark was no longer the regular dark brown color it usually was, this time, tiny gold and red details covered it, really making it look like a dragon perched on her back.

Anna gaped, "well this is new... How did I not notice this?"

Nikki shrugged sitting down on the bed, "maybe you weren't thinking about it? Or maybe you just didn't pay attention."

I smirked, "probably both." Anna frowned and threw a pillow at me. I smirked and after she threw her shirt on I hit her on the face with my pillow instantly starting a pillow fight.

The room was soon filled with laughter as we continued to peg each other with pillows. Suddenly We stopped, hearing a soft knock on the door.

Anna gasped for air and quieted down her laughter, "come in!"

I smirked and so did my twin as we both hid behind the door, ready for our surprise attack.

Although the person never walked in. Another soft knock was heard.

"I said come in."

Nothing. Me and Nikki both frowned and Anna stood up and opened the door.

But there was no one there.

Nikki shuddered and then smirked, "what if this place is haunted?"

Anna rose an eyebrow and closed the door, "doubt it, it's probably a prank or something."

I hit Anna playfully and she rolled her eyes as I pretended to flip my hair over and be the grudge.

"Urrrrrr I'm coming for you!!! Booooooo!" I said chasing Anna. She pushed me playfully and we both started to play around.

"Um guys... If this place isn't haunted, why is that on the mirror??" I saw Nikki frozen, staring at the mirror. I looked in it and saw a red eye with a tear drop.

A bloodied sheikah mark.

Anna's pov******

I froze. The same little girl that I saw the first day I got here was standing there. Staring at me. My breathing became rigid and my eyes widened. She was glaring at me menacingly. And then she pointed at something.

My ring.

"You guys see her too right?" I said chills crawling up my spine.

Celeste frowned, "who?"

"The little girl."

Nikki squeaked and hid her face with the pillow. Celeste rolled her eyes, "Nikki quit being a scared little kitten will you?" She turned to me, "can you talk to her."

I nodded not taking my eyes off the girl. Again she pointed angrily at my ring.

"What is she saying."

I gulped, "she wants me to take off my ring."

Celeste laughed, "ya see? Even the dead hate the idea of you marrying Jeremy."

I glared at Celeste making her shut up instantly and then turned back towards the girl. I nodded to her and put my ring down on the stand in front of her. Once that was done she smiled at me satisfied.

"Ask her what she wants." Celeste said walking behind me. Nikki covered her face again and whined, "no! Don't do that, what if she's here to kill us!?"

The little girl giggled at Nikki's remark and drew something on the mirror. A mark I saw at the dungeon I first saw her. And then mouthed something at me.

Find me. Alone.

After that she disappeared, taking the bloodied sheikah mark with her.

I shuddered. "It's official, I'm going crazy."

Celeste rose an eyebrow, "no, that's not it."

Nikki stood up and moved her hands up and down on her arms shivering. "I don't know about you but I don't like the idea of being in the same place as a ghost."

Celeste rolled her eyes, "quit being such a chicken Nikki and sit down."

I sat down on the edge of my bed and shivered. Celeste looked at me and chuckled, "now is the perfect time for you to say that popular line that goes 'I see dead people.' It totally fits you."

I groaned and threw a pillow at her, "this isn't happening, I don't see dead people, I am not crazy!"

Celeste frowned, "necromancer, not crazy."

Both me and Nikki looked at her confused.
"A necro what now?"

Celeste sat down, "I'm a shapeshifter, someone who turns into a wolf. Seira is great in water so she's a mermaid. Nikki, since you're my twin you should be a shapeshifter also. And Anna is a necromancer. Someone who can talk or raise the dead."

I frowned and shook my hands, "hold on, Seira is a what now? And I'm a what now?!"

Celeste groaned, "yes Seira is a mermaid, she's shown me. And yes, the fact that you could see that girl and not us makes you a necromancer."

I whined and placed my face on my pillow. "Why couldn't I be the mermaid?"

Celeste rolled her eyes and hit me with the pillow. "Quit whining!"

"Hold on a sec, if I do remember, Anna didn't you always hate the basement in our old house when we were little?" Nikki asked.

I gave her a look and rose my eyebrow, "I guess, what does that have to do with anything?"

Celeste snorted, "you started seeing them when you were little, I even remembered dad telling you it was just your imagination. You would cry whenever mom went down there to do the laundry. You were born a necromancer."

A loud knock was heard on the door and we all screamed.

"I THOUGH SHE LEFT!" Nikki cried holding on to me.

The door opened and sheik came in, "what is going on here? Why are you screaming?"

Nikki gasped letting go of my arm, "oh it's only you, what a relief!" Celeste rolled her eyes again and pushed Nikki back on the bed earning her a glare from said blond.

"Anna I need to speak with you." Sheik said. Celeste whistled, "oooooooh shit, Anna is in Trouble! Ooooooooo annnaaaaaaaa you in trouble!"

I glared at my sister and threw the pillow at her face and pushed her, making her fall on Nikki.

I walked out of my room and closed the door behind me.

The sight of the little girl was still fresh in my mind. A necromancer. I am a fucking necromancer.

And I can talk to the dead.

Why can't I just be a regular California girl?! Why does this crap keep happening to me?! I just want to be home back with Jeremy and my coworkers. I just wanna go back to being the normal, not a necromancer, Anna.

"Anna are you listening?"

I jumped back into reality and out of my thoughts, "y-yeah sorry, my mind was elsewhere. My bad."

Sheik sighed, "impa told me not to let you go a day without training. However I have some errands to run in kokariko. So you will be coming with me."

I groaned, "great. When are we going?"

"Tomorrow early in the morning. Get ready."

I nodded and walked back in the room.

Just great. I'm going back to the last place I don't want to go. I really am not in the mood for more ghosts. Or sheik for that matter.
