I was in High School. The truth was, I was not dealing with many people, just with two colleagues from my previous school and they did not become my friends. I used to read in breaks and free hours.
Everything changed when she entered school. I was very curious to see her. She acted very rare and was as white as a paper, full of freckles. She never laughed and what seemed even stranger was that I never saw her blinking. I always found her where I was going out, outside at school or on the street.
One day, I filled with courage and spoke to her. Eventually, we became friends and she laughed a lot and was very kind. I did not see it wrong since I assumed she only needed a friend.
It started to get weird when I realized she was always carrying a knife. I did not take it very seriously, until I noticed that she was trying to stab me several times. I took courage and tried to talk to her. She talked me that she was a soul in pity. A few seconds I thought she was joking but she pulled out the knife ready to stab me again and I started to run. I thought she was just crazy but when her body vanished leaving only a shadow, which continued chasing me, I was more alarmed. “Only with your soul I can live again”, she said. That, which I at first I did not understand well. Then, like every human I ended up getting tired and she caught me.
Now I´m a soul in pain in its place. I made the treaty which allows souls in pity to take the soul of a chosen one. So that he takes the place of the soul in pain and the one who made the deal can be human again and forget his life of soul in pain, and everywhere I will be human again.
She´s now a teenager. I´m at her school, and I´m going to get revenge for becoming me in this. “Oh, dear Elise. You will be a soul in pain, again. I promise you”.
