"Good morning Lay." Lewell greeted me while I was in front of the mansion trimming the small trees planted on opposite side of the brick pathway.

"Oh, Good morning Mr. Sage." I replied giving him my warm smile which he also replied with a smile.

Mr. Lewell Sage is an adult around his early 30's. He's the body guard of master while Mr. Morgan Stanley's the driver. I heard that during their teenage years, these two were assassins working for the Russian mafia. I don't know if its true, but for me they're good people.

I went back on my work when suddenly an express van stop at the gate and honked hard that would make the neighborhood go crazy, but we don't have any neighbors, just trees and the sky.

I trotted to the gate to find out why was an express van doing here.

"Good morning Mister. A letter for Mr. Alexander Hamilton Miers. Is he here?" asked a young man holding an old envelop.

"Good morning to you too gentleman. Yes, this is the Miers Family land."

"Woah... this place is incredible." Complimented the young man with sparkling eyes. "And oh! Here's the letter and please sign here as the claimer."

He gave me the letter together with a clipboard and started signing it.

"Thank you gentleman. Have a nice day." I bid goodbye to them and they just gave me a loud honked as they drove away.

"Excuse me Master, a letter just arrived for you and I think its from the countryside." I informed master. He stop from scribbling something on his book and paid attention to me.

"Open it and read it loud." He commanded.

I ripped the seal open and unfold the letter revealing a neat handwriting.

"Umm...its from, Miss Maria Isobelle. It says here....."

Dear Mr. Miers,
              Good day. The construction of your desired resort here in the countryside has been approved and we need your presence to make this plan into action immediately. 

Maria Isobelle
Miers Construction Engineer

"....That's all of it sir." I folded the letter and put it back inside the envelop.

Master leaned back into his swivel chair, eyes closed trying to decide.

"Lay, I want you and Mark with me. Pack your bags and well head out first thing in the morning." He said. I just said 'yes sir' and leave his office.

"Hey, guess what?!" I jumped on Mark who is busy planting some flowers on the ground. He stop from doing his job and turned around and face me with a smug look on his face.

"What?"

"Were going on the countryside! Isn't it great?!" I raise my arms on the air like it was some big surprise for Mark that I need to tell.

"Great! Another stupid trip to go into. Like what the hell Lay, countryside? Oh gimme a break. All your going to see there are cows fucking each other, creepy plants and trees, insects that sucks your blood all night and people who are ignorant to the modern world in short, old civilization!. They don't even have signals there! How am I supposed to have fun there?!"

I covered my ears because of Marks constant whine.

Seriously.

"Your saying things like that when you used to live in the countryside for 8 years Mark." I looked at him with an evil grin and crossed arms.

"But that was for school purposes. Not a vacation Lay."

"Still, we still lived there for 6 years. In. the. country. side."

"Okay, okay. You smart ass." I smiled to myself triumphantly.

"So finish up your work then pack your clothes. We'll be leaving first thing in the morning."

"Ok...."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Welçome to Laketown Countryside Mr. Miers." A woman with a brunette hair with a country dress greeted master. But master tends to ignore it as he continued to walk inside.

When I first step my foot on the ground I felt something wrong... It felt like a bad omen. I glanced around the area and my eyes darted to a shadow behind the trees.

Now that's weird.

"Hey Lay, move your ass out of the car. We had luggage to attend to." Mark reprimanded me.

"Mark, pay attention to your surroundings okay?" I whispered to him.

"Yeah, yeah smart ass, now get going."

I begun unloading our luggage's outside the trunk when suddenly I felt all my hair stood up. I glanced around the surroundings again feeling uncomfortable.

Pay attention Lay. I said to myself. I grab my suitcase when suddenly something cold also touch the same suite case I was holding. I looked up and saw a pale face girl in front of me. Her eyes were lifeless and her hair were black, as in black. When suddenly she screamed at me loudly and sharp. Making me step back and cover my ears instantly and shutting my eyes closed. When I opened my eyes, the girl was already gone.

Now, this is really creeping me out.

What would you do if you're in some kind of situation like this?

Me? I would use my own money and go back home. I'm just too sacred with things like this.

Ahaha!! I'm really afraid of ghost, how about you? Are you afraid too?
