Maria's pov

"Was I hearing right?"

"Did he really say what I think he just said?"

Thoughts were circling my mind

"What am I doing? I need to save him!"

I floated over to an old pot, picked it up and smashed it. His parents came upstairs and saw him and went to hospital quickly.

As they were pulling out of the drive way I decided to follow them, but then an idea came to me.

"Go to his friends....They will see me hopefully and they will follow me. They have a right to know..."

I flew to Faith's and KK's house to see them nowhere in their rooms but they were near the river...where I found Justin..

"KK? Faith? Can you hear me?"

There was no response...

"Please talk to me or listen to me...."

I glided over to the water and wrote I'm sorry in it...

KK jumped in fear but Faith sat motionless

"Faith?"

She looked into the river and spoke

"I can't believe they want me to speak at her funeral tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow is my funeral?"

"Well at least you'll get to say what you've always wanted to say to her..." KK said

"Yeah...I guess that's good..." Faith mumbled

I got angry hearing about their sorrow...I was floating then dropped suddenly into the water to get their attention....it did good seeing how I heard them both scream from the water.

"What the-?!" They yelled

"I hope they can hear me this time...." I thought before speaking to them

"Hello my dear friends....I have came here to warn you about a sudden death that might happen...to a very close friend of yours...Justin....He's in the hospital right now....please go..."

They looked at me with jaws dropped...

"Y-You're.....alive Maria!" Faith screamed

I shook my head and saw KK trying to get to his car...me and Faith stayed behind for a little at the river..

"You...left us....why? Why are you back to us now again?"

"I left because.....everything was so hard...after my mom died it became harder....yeah it might be good that my dad's in jail but I thought my mom would live so much longer....she was the only one who helped me at home with everything...but then y'all help me with those stupid bullies at school and honestly now I see what you've been trying to say to me all these years now...now it's too late to change back and kick their asses..."

I laughed with Faith after saying that weird remark but it was true...I had realized how stupid and worthless they are. I shouldn't have worried about them so much...now it's really too late to go back...

"Come on guys we need to go I just got a text from Justin's Dad saying hurry!"

They got into the car and I followed them to the hospital...

As we arrived I went through the doors and showed up in Justin's room....

I saw wires and Oxygen tanks...his heart rate was good so far....but I was still worried...

My friends and Justin's' family walked into the room looking at him with tears...

I glided over to him with tears in my eyes....

I felt a whoosh of cold air.... I looked over to see my mother next to me...

"So you've learned what this can do to you.....haven't you? You see the pain you've brought and that those mistakes you've made in the past could have easily been fixed....Now do you regret the chances you didn't take? You must think before your decision and that's one of the things that killed you....you're smart and strong but you didn't think that... now your friend might die because of your death and if he really does....your power will not grow strong..."

I looked at her with furrowed eyes...

"How could she say that to me? To make me feel bad?"

"Mother, I know I might cause a death and that it'll be on my shoulders but please tell me what are my powers that I have?"

There was a pause

"Your powers....you have your ability to move things in the human world and talk to humans but I sense you have more you look as if you really have something more than communication. We may never know until you really figure it all out yourself...this is what unfinished business is for....to finish the things we started...once your friends have died...you will be free but with your powers you'll still have."

I looked away from her, I didn't think those things I can do were special powers...they seemed normal for me....maybe once I figure out my other powers...it will be like this it will just be normal...

"But what did she mean by 'Once I'm gone'? What will happen? Will I go one of the places normal people go?"

I glided over to Justin and a tear slipped out of my eye...

Then a flashback flew back to my mind when I was at Faith's house

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

Everyone was in the living room sitting down crying or looking sad..

Faith was on the phone.

"W-WE DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S BREATHING I COULDN'T FEEL HER PULSE! PLEASE GET SOMEONE DOWN HERE! NOW!" she was in tears. I looked around and saw my scars were revealed. Justin looked as if he couldn't look at me. Faith got off the phone and was in tears, she ran over to me.

"I-Its going to be okay....Just talk to me." She was holding my hand, squeezing it.

I tried to talk but I couldn't, My voice had went away.

Justin was shaking

"S-She's.... SHE'S NOT GOING TO BE FINE! LOOK AT HER! LOOK AT HER SCARS!"

there was a pause and his yelling made my ears ring.

I closed my eyes hoping they would see me. In which they did once I opened them again.

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

The flashback went away but I looked at Justin again.....He had scars...he was going to fall into the same pattern as I....

"I need to stop this....NOW..."

I thought of anything that could come to mind to help me in this situation...but nothing did...

I touched around my neck....I felt the choker was still there...I tried taking it off of me....I didn't want that thing around me....it horrifies me....

But I couldn't....

"I can't fix this...I can't fix anything besides bringing remorse to my friends..."

Then a white flash appeared behind me...and I got sucked into it...

"You need to find out this....either you help him or you have this persons death on your shoulders....and if this keeps happening you won't be up there at all....you'll be down there...."

"How am I supposed to stop death? That's impossible!"

"I know it may seem that way but since you're just a spirit and not an angel....you can see both places...Hell and Heaven...."

It had completely blew my mind...it made so much sense...well only a little...

"Will I have to visit both people? Will I have to make a deal with death?"

"No, hopefully not a deal with death....but if they both can't do anything...I don't know how you'd stop this..."

"When will I have to leave?"

"Immediately...There will be a day to when it's the final day you can try to stop this sudden death...You have three days...two involve visiting...one involves bringing happiness...at your funeral"

I shuddered I wasn't so sure if I was ready to do any of this...

But I am only doing this to stop the death of my friend and if I go to Hell for it....I'll take the blame...I'd do anything to stop any deaths...
