Do Ghosts Cry

Zain's point of view….

I groaned and opened my eyes. My head aches and I found trouble analysing the situation I am in. I can't even remember what happened after I blacked out.

  It's just that the car started making this sound and afterwards, I had issues controlling it then crashed into something and that is it .

  "What the heck happened?"

I muttered still holding my head, trying to easy the ache. My vision was blurry so I could not tell where I am but I do know I am still inside the car and then my heart skipped a bit, I turned towards Claire's seat but could not find her.

  "My baby is not in the car? how come?"

I wondered then bent over the car seat but I saw nothing.

"Like where the hell is she? " I asked surprised,looking around in panic.

 Her side door was slightly opened and it dawned on me that she has been taken away but by who?

  I can't believe this, my wife died and now, my baby of a day plus is missing?

"Like what the heck is going on?"

My head was taking all that is happening around and I am so lost at that moment I could only sit there and stare blankly like a dead person.

 "Is this some sort of punishment or what?

I frantically got down from the car and halted, I was in the middle of nowhere and another question came to my mind, how did I get there?

  This is not happening. No no,  it cannot be!

But the more I thought about it, the less I seemed to have an answer to myself because I was totally lost. I looked up in the sky, the sun shone brightly but without any clouds blocking the light, it made everything look so surreal.

This is really not real. This can't be real. Please don't let this be true, if this is real then it means…

"It means she is gone and somehow, someone has had in hands in it but then how did I get here and who could be responsible for my baby 's disappearance?"

I was panicking more than ever, I tried to think back about what has happened in the last minutes and as the events unfolded, my thoughts became more coherent.

  I got into the car and I did not lock it up because of anger then the sound and the crashing and blacking out.

Is there something I need to know, like was my car tampered with? It's not about the car being tampered with, is why anyone would want to do it?

   I just hoped nothing happened to my baby.

  I tried calming down and when I did, I got back into the car, reversed it and headed back into town. I need to get to the bottom.

Writer's point of view….

Vivian came down from the cab in front of the hospital gate and there stood Susan shedding tears.

  She was stunned for a moment, do ghosts cry?.

   Vivian wondered then walked forward. On getting closer to her, she saw blood dripping from her dress, apparently, she had been injured.

   Vivian was confused on why her friend's ghost had to be bleeding. The last time she checked, Ghosts don't bleed.

  She got closer to her and tried touching her,

"Susan!"

Susan lift up her teary eyes and stared back at Vivian,

   "I had decided to come back but guess what, they ripped my heart out then took my baby. That's not fair. Why would someone be this evil to do this to be?"

Her words were clear and Vivian could understand them.

  She felt her tears stung and wiped them away,

"Who is behind all these?"

Vivian managed to ask.

She needed information from Susan.

Susan shook her head and replied,

"I can't say"

"What do you mean you can't say? don't you want justice?"

Vivian asked, her voice breaking.

Susan closed her eyes tightly,

"Oh yes. Justice. Revenge. Vengeance. That's what I wanted to get but it wouldn't be now. I would want him to enjoy it while it lasts. I will sure come for him and he would pay for ending me before my time"

Susan 's voice had turned into anger and Vivian could see her vibrating.

  "He will surely pay for this"

Her hands were clenching,

"But not now"

She repeated and stared at Vivian,

"I will make sure my baby is okay and when I come back for revenge, you will be the first person to know. Tell Zain that I love him so much and that I am sorry I cheated, tell him to forgive me and he should not dare hurt my sister and again if you ever get to see Owen, tell him that I miss him and that I am sorry too" 

Susan added in one last line before disappearing.
