Herma Ott

After listening to what they had to say, Ariana was silent for minutes. She went up to her room and opened her bag furiously. She searched for the journal book and threw it on the bed.

"It was for this? If you were so bent on having it back, why didn't you go for it yourself? Why did you let me kill my own teacher? My fellow human? This was someone's uncle. Like, did you know that you were sending me out there to kill my fellow human being?" she yelled into the empty space.

There was silence.

"Answer me! Fucking answer me! Did you or did you not know?!"

Elsy's transparent form began to appear slowly from the legs up. She opened her eyes. "Why are you yelling like that?" was the first thing she asked when she opened her eyes.

"My fucking teacher! You let me kill him and then you suddenly disappear? Are you crazy? And now, who knows what the police will do to me when they find out that a teenager killed her own teacher? And all for a stupid journal?!" Ariana screamed.
