Anna

Chapter 4

Mason went home and started fumbling through his drawers, looking for anything he could sell to earn some money. It was then that he realized that his arm was still bleeding from the cut Anna gave him. He took a piece of cloth and wrapped around his arm.

"Hey there", Anna said. "You said you needed my help right? What is is it that you want?" Mason asked. "Justice", Anna simply replied. "What? Justice? What do you mean?" Mason was confused right now.

"Well, you also know that some people ruined my life right?" She said. Mason nodded. "I want them dead, Mason".

"What?! Are you crazy?" Mason shouted. "Woah. Calm down Mason. You don't have to stab them or shoot them or whatever. You'll just have to create accidental deaths. No one would suspect it was murder. You'll just have to be careful", Anna said. "Anna. Killing is illegal. I-" Anna started laughing at what Mason was saying. "Killing is illegal?" Anna said, still laughing, "Oh my god. As if you haven't done any illegal stuff in your whole life".

"Ok. I know I am not the perfect person, but this is killing we are talking about, Anna", Mason cried. "Oh really? Well do you still remember that day....... 12th August", Anna said. "That was an a-ac-accident", Mason stuttered. "I didn't mean to kill Rebecca".

"Mason, please," Anna pleaded. "I'm begging you", she said. Even though she was a ghost, Mason couldn't resist her pleads. Wait a minute. She is a ghost. "Anna. You are a ghost now, aren't you? Why don't you kill them yourself? Why me?" Mason asked. "I'll give you that answer soon", Anna said. "So, are you willing to do it or not?" She asked. "Anna, I can't, I'm sorry", Mason said. "So you are really backing out?" Anna was disappointed. "I trusted you. You were my best friend for like a century." Anna cried. "I'm sorry Anna, but I can't", Mason said. "This isn't like you, Anna," Mason said.

"Well, don't you see that things have changed", Anna said. "Look me in the eyes and say that you don't want to avenge me", she told Mason.

Mason looked deep into her pleading eyes. She's got a point. Some people did ruin her life. Mason always tried to teach them a lesson, but he couldn't. Maybe this is his chance? He is going to jail anyways for using drugs right? After all, she was his best friend. Ghost or no ghost.

"I can't," Mason said. "I can't let you rest without you knowing that the people who ruined your life are still on the loose."

Anna smiled. "Who is the first victim?" Mason asked. "Jason Pope".
