Chapter #3#
I dedicate this chapter to ibby_gal. She's such a nice person with the purest heart ever❣️!
Mrs Elizabeth's POV
Coming out of the hospital exhausted; it's been three months since Emerald and Mrs Cassandra died.
I was surprised she willed her hospital to me even though I know she has no relatives except her husband.
Sigh!
My eyes widen in shock and fright. My reason being that Emerald was standing three paces away from me.
Is this a dream??
I tried blinking as many times as I could. Someone dead can't come back to life except she's a ghost.
I have to confirm! Even with the stress, I don't hallucinate.
Walking towards her, I called
"Emerald?" to be sure.
She started at me confused.
"Oh my goodness! It really is you??!"
I semi screamed, pulling her into a hug even before I realised.
After a few seconds, I gained composure pulling apart from each other.
"How happy Drake would be? What happened? I did see your corpse? How did you survive?"
I asked in haste.
I know I'm an adult but this is Emerald we are talking about. More like my daughter.
"You can see me?"
She asked which sounded stupid but I shouldn't read too much meaning into it.
"Do you know me? Who are you? You don't seem like us?"
She said so many weird things.
This conversation was getting absurd.
"What do you mean Emerald? Are you perhaps... perhaps suffering from amnesia."
I intended to ask, but sounded more like a statement.
"Who is Emerald??" She asked looking so lost.
"You are Emerald." I say.
She let out a small laugh.
"Me?" She asks pointing to herself.
She waved her hands to me telling me no.
"I'm not Emerald. I'm dead and a demon. End of discussion." She said trying to leave.
"Wait!"
I searched for her picture on my phone and was lucky to have seen one.
"See." I said shoving my phone towards her motioning for her to see.
I saw her gasp.
"This is me! Me! But I'm... dead. My human form??"
Was she talking to herself. I felt like shaking some sense into her. She's behaving like a psycho.
Or is it just me?
"Emerald, let's just go home."
I tried persuading her.
"Home?... Home??"
She pondered over it.
"Fine. I want to go home. No matter what".
Thank you Lord!
I didn't have to say weird stuff anymore.

Drake's POV
I was watching an action movie titled F9 when my mum shouted my name from the door telling me she was home.
"Evening mum!" I greeted, my eyes still locked with the TV.
I guess my mum was swaying her head from side to side since she wasn't a fan of action movies. If it was a K drama I was watching or K pop, my mum would definitelyly sit and watch it to the end regardless her being tied.
I decided to spare my mum a glance.
Shocker! What am I seeing. A ghost!!!
I walked towards the ghost I was starting at and used my finger to poke her cheek.
"Ahh!" Emerald groaned in pain.
"What was that for?" She asked her face full of disgust.
"But you're dead." I say full of shock.
"Yeah. I am."
Weird!
"Dr... I feel like your name rings in my head but I don't even know you. Is it Drayce, Draven."
"Ah!" She clasped her hand like she has gotten it.
"It's Drayson right?"
She flashed me a smile.
I was still dazed.
"Hey! What's wrong?" She asked coming closer.
"Drake. My name."
I said trying to figure out something.
She simply nodded.
"Drake. Nice to meet you."
"Can I check something?"
I asked unsure what her answer would be.
"Uhmn." She hummed a yes.
I pulled her right arm. If she's Emerald, she'll have a scar on her wrist.
I remember giving her that injury when we were little.
"That's rude!"
She barked.
I checked it and the scar was present.
Can such a thing happen?
Can someone who is dead come back to life?
"Sorry." I left her as she went to sit watching the movie with keen attention.
"You like action movies now?"
I ask to lighten up the mood.
"Definitely no!"
She said with much venom.
I chuckle.
It would be weird if Emerald like action movies.
"Just watching for for watching sake."
She added.
"Want me to help you recover from your amnesia?"
I asked willing to help.
"No. Elder will help."
"Huh? Who's that?"
I asked.
"Believe me, you wouldn't want to know. Besides won't you show me my room?".
"Follow me."
I ordered walking towards the stairs.
I turned to see she wasn't behind me but sitting watching me.
I raised an eyebrow
"Aren't you coming?"
"No." She muttered
"Why?"
"Who are you to order me?" She asked instead of responding to my question.
"What?"
I was lost. When did I order her.
She stood and said
"Follow me." Walking towards me.
I now get it.
"I didn't order you". I clarified.
"You did."
"I didn't."
"You did".
"I said I didn't."
"I said you did."
We kept on bickering till we were tired.
At last! Emerald is back. Even though she's a little bit weird.
