“Why is no one answering me?” Asher asked, his voice barely audible.
“We are at the granny’s house.” Lucas replied.
“Was teleporting here really necessary?” He asked, in fear.
“Asher, you have to put yourself together, you’re the one who will approach her.” Piper said.
“Then you both should’ve thought of that before scaring me this way.” He exclaimed.
“Can we pend the argument for later ?” Lucas asked, already irritated.
“Hey, you. Stop telling me what to do.” He shouted.
“Look at that man, he is talking to himself.” They heard a kid said.
“Maybe he is insane.” Another kid added.
“He looked too responsible to be insane.” The third kid said.
“How can a normal person be taking to himself with so much emotion?” The first kids said.
Asher, and the ghosts divert their attention to the children, and Asher glare took them off guard.
“He is so scary.” They whined and ran off.
“You can’t understand, it just happened that I could see ghosts.” Asher shouted, hoping the children heard him.
“Are you really gonna explain to those kids who are obviously coming from kindergarten?” Lucas said, rolling his eyes.
“You both caused this.” Asher muttered with clenched teeth. “I didn’t even get time to rehearse what to say.” He muttered, with a sigh.

He went to the granny’s house, and she welcomed him in, and offered a glass of water before he brought up the topic.
“You’re the new residence of that house ?” She asked, with wide eyes.
“Yes, ma’am.”
“I said you can call me Gigi, calling me ma makes me awkward.” She said, and he chuckled.
“Alright, Gigi.”
“Don’t you hear the stories about that house before you bought it ?” She asked, and Asher let out a sigh at the thought that he won’t get a different story.
“No, I purchased it when I was in the city, and recently moved in. I’m just staying there temporarily, I based in the city.”
“It’s best you leave now while you can, because the house is haunted by a virgin ghost.” She said, and Asher let out a sigh.
“How sure are you, Gigi?”
“You can ask anyone around, you’re the longest resident of that house.”
Asher thanked her, and took the exit while the ghosts trailed behind him.
“You see, it makes no difference.” He muttered.
“Mr, Mr, please wait.” A lady shouted, running after them.
Asher stopped on his track and turned, and saw the lady that welcomed him at Gigi’s house.
“Did I left anything behind?” He asked, although he knows that he left nothing; but that was the best way to politely ask her what she wants.
“Answers, you haven’t gotten the answers you need.”
“What answers?” He asked, a bit confused, and Piper looked at him, wondering how a grownup can be that clueless.
“I know the true story behind that house, my grandmother knows it as well.”
“Really?” Asher, and the ghosts chorused.
“My grandmother was the one who made up that story.”
“Why? For what reason ?” Asher asked.
“Can we go somewhere more private to talk?” She asked, and Asher nodded.
