    Ugh. That was the third time this night I had that dream. It was my mom and dad, trying to tell me something. . .a warning I think because of the violence and bloodshed that was happening around us. And it always ended up the same way: me seeing them die right in front of me. . .

    "Wow, look who's up this early." My dead brother, Wesley, walked right through my door and plopped down onto my bed next to me.
    "Shocking, i know. Take a picture, it'll last longer." I said, moving off the bed and to the enterance to my walk-in closet.
    He sighed and moved into a lounge position, "I don't feel like it. And, as shocking as this sounds, I actually have a question for you--"
    I was entering my bathroom with a traditional ACDC t-shirt, an emo looking skirt and my black combat boots. When I heard that, I stopped, turned around and stared open-mouthed at my brother.
    He shrugged, a hint of a smile on his lips, "What?? It's nothing serious, just a couple of questions about why mom and dad aren't hear yet. . ."
    I exited the bathroom and plopped down next to my brother, "Actually, i have no idea about why they aren't here yet. I mean, you showed you up the day after and it's already been a week. . .Honestly, all i could think of is that something is holding them up or something like that--"
    "Bullshit. Mom and Dad know that we are the most important things right now--"
    I grabbed my backpack off my nightstand and cut him off, "Actually, i'm the only who is important 'cause i'm still alive and all. But don't worry, i'm pretty sure they worry about you too."
    At that, I left the room, too tired to answer my brother's questions as we walked down the stairs side by side. That's when i noticed the spirit lingering around the family room.
    I groaned, my brother noticing who i was staring at, commented, "She's been here since 3:30--"
    "The witching hour. Wesley, dont come in the room no matter what you hear. It'll be her agony you hear, not mine. Go water the plants her something."
    He sighed but didn't protest as he walked out the sliding glass door that led to my mother's prized garden.
    I've delt with these spirits before. I call them Messengers since they are sent by the devil to destroy me. But i thought they gave up since i killed the 100th one one month ago. . .
    I walked into the living the room, putting a shield up [allows no spirit to touch me but i can touch them] the moment i entered. As if on cue, the woman spirit attacked the shield, only throwing her to the opposite side of the room. Her eyes, i noticed were an unusual red. I was memorized by them so much that i let down my spirit shield, allowing the other spirit that entered behind me to attack me.
    I was thrown against the same wall as the other woman and instantly brought up my shield.
    "b***h, prepare to die--"
    Her scream was louder than i could've ever imagined. She was a screamer-protects herself by screaming- meaning that she could kill me by her screams. It was so loud, so deaf-curling loud. . .
    I snapped out of it, noticing that my shield was weakening. I grabbed her by her throat and threw her over to the other side of the room, stopping her scream. The next spirit, a man, was getting ready to strike when I threw the spirit dagger to his heart. He staggered backwards for a second, but that was all the time i needed.
    I ran over to them both, cast a fire spell and watched them both slowly burn to ashes. This routine is getting so tiring. . .
    I glanced at the clock, grabbed my backpack that somehow ended up by the kitchen and yelled to my brother, "Got to go!! Be back around two!! Do me a favor and clean up the living room for me. See you later!!"
    I ran out the front door, ready to face the high-school torment that awaited me. . .

    "Did you deploy the sensor in her backpack??"
    "Yes sire." I answered
    "Good, now follow her to class. Make sure she dies without any witnesses."
    "Yes sire." I answered
    "By tonight, Wesley. . ."
    The line went dead.
    Pray forgive me sister. . .
