The Possessed Mermaid

Chapter 18

After they had completely burnt to ashes. I just left them there.

I was going to bury them, but Leah is still waiting for me.

I put back on my hoodie and discreetly walked out of there house.

I'm surprised no one was alarmed of the bonfire. I would assume the neighbors would be alarmed that a bonfire was going on this late at night.

I'm thinking for telling Leah about what I did. However, I have a feeling she'll be really mad at me. I did what I had to do.

I arrived at the beach. I saw Leah waiting behind the rock. The sky was pitch and the night was getting colder as Leah waited.

In the corner of her eye, she saw me.

"What took you so long?" She asked in a annoyed tone.

"I just had to do something," I said.

"Well what did you have to do?" questioned Leah raising a eyebrow.

"I just convinced your parents to leave there house," I lied.

"You didn't hurt them right..?" She questioned.

"I would never," I lied.

She stood up and said,"Thanks."

"Your welcome," I replied.

"Do you remember the way to there house?" asked Leah.

"Yeah," I said as we began to walk back to there house.

As we were walking. Suddenly, 2/10 more of my hair turned black. My hair was almost fully black.

"Your hair..." exclaimed Leah.

"I know," I sighed.

"Why does it keep changing color?" asked Leah.

"The ghost," I confessed.

She frowned and gave me a quick slide hug.

"If anything happens to me, just know I love you," I sighed.

She made a worried face and frowned.

"What will happen?" asked Leah.

"I don't know," I sighed frowning.

She held my hand the whole time. We would walking there.

I could tell by her face that she was worried. I was too.

I really don't know what will happen after the rest of my hair turns black.

We made it to her parents house. We walked inside and then I realized. I didn't clean up the blood.

Leah noticed the droplets blood and her eyes widen. Her jaw dropped.

"Why did you lie to me?!" She shouted.

"Because I knew you would be angry," I sighed.

"What did you do?" She questioned.

I paused and my head dropped down. I couldn't make eye contact with her.

"What did you do?!" She asked with her voice rasied.

"I..I...killed them," I confessed.

She let out a deep breath and her eyebrows rasied. Her jaw dropped opened.

"Are you crazy?!" She shouted.

I didn't say anything or even look at her.

"I can't do this," She sighed.
