6 First meeting

Wei-zhan

I inserted the language here using the mountains, well in the mountains that i visited they talk like that specially those who didn't go to school. Just a little.

I came back from swimming at the falls just a meter away from the house. It was already six pm after we finished our lunch and I went straight into it. To pass my time together with the sounds of the water who fell down at the river.

The falls was a lil bit high and had a fog whose surrounds on it so it was nice to look at. For me it was refreshing and can fade away your worries and problems.

I was enjoying myself floating in the water when Masha came and told me to go home.

Miss it's already late you might have caught a cold when you still stay in the water.

She is shouting for me to hear her. The water that fell down was noisy. It needed to shout when you wanted to be heard.

How I wish I will be affected by it but sadly I'm not. I come up out of the water, get the towel and dry myself.

You did not feel the cold weather Miss? you've been there in three hours now. She asked with concern.

As you can see I'm not. Why are you here?. Don't tell me you will pick me up.

Then I won't tell.

Aisstt.. i told you already that i will go home with my own no need to bother yourselves to fetch me. I can manage. I savagely said.

She just bowed her head and mimicked the words that I said.

You annoying blonde girl got out of my sight now before I was out of my patience and I will bury you alive.

Ngek.... I'm going now bye..

She turned away just three steps and she ran as fast as she could. I smirk. I knew she's scared not of me but of the ghost that is here. She acts like she's not a ghost but in fact she's one of it too.

All of them in the house were scared of those ghost and magical creatures just me Thomas and Pedro were not afraid of it. I treated them as my companions or employees, not a maid or something. But in order for us to eat, we need to help Mang Thomas in the farm. They need to work for eight hours together with that old man.

After I finished getting dressed I went down to the living room where all of them were watching a drama on a black and white tv. Except for Thomas and Old man that I don't know where they are.

They were serious while watching "Kambal sa Uma", when we heard a voice coming from outside.

I was looking at them while panicking where to go or what to do. They hid themselves somewhere but I could barely see them one by one.

Why are you hiding?,

There is a ghost, a ghost who talks alien miss."jerry".

Ghost alien you mean, Pathetic there is no ghost alien in my five hundred thousand of years at this place I never met that ghost alien so stop with your nonsense and get out now.

They both shook their heads and hid their body even more while covering their faces using their palm. And they are really the same reactions and gestures huh!.

The voice outside still shouting something. Their language was a 'lil bit the same to us. But why is there someone who came here? For over a decade no one dared to come in this place because of that enchanted forest.

Fairies made a magical barrier to the intruder to mislead them in the right way by the appearance of the deer in the middle of the letter T road. And also to lose them to the right road.

That was according to the Mang Thomas story which is unbelievable. Why?. I can't answer that, I meet lots of lots of ghost and magical creatures like the "guardian of the small falls inside the forest.

He seeks my help to maintain the beautiful look and cleanliness of the water that falls for all the animals living inside the forest. That falls made a little pond where all living creatures inside the forest drink or whatsoever they do to the water.

They never mingled in human activities as long as they never do anything wrong or can hurt them except those fierce ghosts and animals inside the forest.

It's been half an hour already but no one answers us. My throat was dry already.

Maybe no one lives here Bodi let's get out of here the suns already set. Jinli says nervously. He was anxious as he looked around. Crickets started to make sounds and other animals or insects I don't know.

It must be dangerous if we drive back so let's hope that there is someone living here or maybe we can trespass to spend the night here.

I can't. I'm afraid that if there is a ghost here and while we have a rest they will appear in front of us and hunt us. I will die if it's happened.

He's now panicking, surely I really wanted to tape his mouth. Your annoying stop with that thought. You scare yourself. "The sun already set. The darkness is taking over the lucidity". I hear the sound of the horse and other animals too.

Can we come over?, "I shouted again".

Why?, "said the voice at the back of Jinli. And to his surprise he jumped on me while saying "multo, white lady".

What should I do, I catch him with no choice. He buried his face at my chest and he's trembling with fear.

I was startled too but I prevailed by catching him. He's like tarsier on the three holding tight not to fall down.

What are you doing here?Why did you carry him, a while ago he's standing and a second past he's asleep is that possible. And I'm not multo. I'm alive and kicking.

We're from eternal love of dream tax in short BIR. She frowned on what I've said. She didn't understand what I meant.

Are you the owner of this house?. I'm struggling to talk because of Lijin's weight.

Nope she's inside the house.

Can i talk to her?, at same time releasing Lijin on my hold i can't take it anymore he is too heavy. He fell from the ground. He was so pale as white as a paper.

I helped him stand but he hurriedly hid at my back.

She's white lady Bodi let's get out of here. She will eat us.

I don't know what to do to him anymore. Just a little bit more my patience will fade on him. I will do what I think was good for him and that was make him sleep.

I'm not a white lady. Maybe you too were the fierce ghost who wanted to enter our house to rest for a while waiting for your right time or maybe you will sow desolation here.

No no no. We are human, I mean real one. We came here to talk to the owner of this house for the land tax. She needs to pay it.

Tskk.. tskk... this is not good but then it's already dark someone's looking at us.

When he hears it. He holds me tightly and never leaves my side. He's the most cowardly person that I know in my entire existence. He never said anything. Well what would I expect. He was scared while we were driving now that we met this girl just like I can't name who or what she was.

She's white as snow. Her hair was a bob short cut, the upper part, she tied it up. So it looks like the stem of a flower. Her hair was blonde which i wonder why. I mean in this kind of restricted area, a preserved place where there was a blonde girl living here.

We kept on walking until we arrived at the main door. She opened it and let us get in first. Well I was so scared too but then i needed to act tough.

I was dragging Lijin because he can't walk properly. In anytime soon he will prostrate on the floor. He was immobile.

I felt something wet but I threw that thought because I was fascinated by the looks inside the house. She brought us to the living area where the white and black tv was opened and it was connected on a big battery or should i say a battery of a truck.

I see no one except those plastic glasses where they have water so it means there is someone here before we come.

You may sitted, I will let Miss know that you want to see her. Feel at home.

It was lil weird the way she said the words. I think it was their own language. Well as long as i understand it, its ok.

She left us in the living room so I had time to look around and Lijin is like my tail. The chair was made of bamboo grass. The house was clean but empty. I can feel the emptiness of the surroundings even though there is some picture frame hanging on the wall.

There was also an old portrait of a little girl holding a pencil. The way I look at the picture it seems it was a real one. She didn't smile, her eyes were sad.

Before I could step someone cleared a throat in front of me.

And all I know is Lijin was lying on the floor unconscious.

The woman in front of me looked at him fiercely and coldly.

What a worthless man. He came here just to sleep aisstt..She smirked and sat down in one of the chairs in front of us.

What a savage lady she is. I swallowed while looking at her. She's scary the way she looked at us, at me.

I feel unwelcome here. The cold gaze that she has, giving my heart beats faster for fear or something I can't name.

She's like a princess sitting in the bamboo chair without doing something just sitting there and looking at me. It's a bit dark so I can't fully see her face or her looks. All I could see was a long beautiful dress. An ancient dress or their traditional costume.
