Morion Necklace. Yuliya Alpagut

… – hissed terrible vision.

      – Enough, Carey! Please stop! – covering her ears with her hands, Miranda shook her head. – Please, Carey! I’m scared!

      – You can’t even imagine how scary I was … – hissed Carolyn, – So scary… So painful…

      – Please! Stop it! You’re scaring me! You are the biggest loss in my life! Why are you so scaring me?! I loved you!

      – And I loved you… And you… You killed me! Murderer… Murderer…

      – Oh my God! Carey! What are you talking about?! – Miranda cried, – Tell me why you came? Say and I will do everything for you! What do you want? – with a voice that trembled with fear and tears the girl begged.

      In an instant, Carolyn was suddenly right in front of Miranda. Her pale, almost white face was so close to the tear-stained face of a girl, that Miranda felt what a terrible cold emanated from it. Miranda saw her dead friend’s eyes fill with even greater fury and her face appears a terrible smile, more like animal grin.

      – What do you want?! – barely heard whispered, to death scared, Miranda.

      Something came close to Miranda, very close and hissed right in her face:

      – I want to live…

      ***

      Aiden returned home around one in the morning. There was no light in the apartment. And the man thought that Miranda was already sleeping. He quietly went to the bathroom, quickly took a shower and went to the bedroom. But the girl he did not find there. “Maybe she fell asleep on the sofa in the living room?” – he thought and went there. Opening the door to the room he quietly called:

      – Miranda… Miranda, are you here?

      But no one answered. Then Aiden turned on the light in the room, and with horror he saw a girl lying on the floor near the window.

      – Oh my god, Miranda! – he shouted and rushed to her.

      The girl was unconscious. Aiden fell on knees in front of her and gently lifted her. Miranda opened her eyes.

      – Miranda, honey, can you hear me? – he asked worriedly.

      – Aiden? – she whispered coming to her senses.

      – Yes, honey, it’s me, – man answered.

      – Aiden! – suddenly the girl cried out and, clinging tightly to him, she began to cry softly.

      – Oh God, Miranda, – he said stroking her long hair, – You scared me so much! What happened? Have you lost consciousness? How do you feel?

      – My head hurts, – she answered quietly.

      – It’s all because of your “flight”, – he said, – I told you! We had to show you to the doctor!

      – No, – Miranda said, – Not, it’s not because of it…

      – Stop stubborn! – seriously as never before, said Aiden. – I’ll take you to the hospital now! – he said.

      – Okay, – dutifully answered Miranda.

      ***

      A hour and a half later, Aiden and Miranda drove back to the home.

      – I told you I’m fine, – getting out of the car she said. – Just bruised.

      – I should have heard it from the doctor, – Aiden answered her and shutting the door. – But…

      The girl looked at him questioningly.

      – What “but”? – she asked.

      – There is something wrong with you. You fainted? Fainted…

      – You know, the doctor checked me. I’m fine.

      – I know. But maybe he missed something? – suggested Aiden.

      Miranda sighed heavily.

      – He missed nothing, – she said softly, – Please, let’s go home. I want to lie down.

      ***

      Miranda took a shower and went to the bedroom. There, sitting in a chair, Aiden was waiting for her. The girl sat up in bed and looked at him.

      – Will you go to sleep? – she asked.

      – We need to talk, – he said.

      – About what? – Miranda asked.

      – About what’s going on with you, – he answered. – Would you like to tell me what happened today?

      – Nothing happened, – the girl answered him.

      She did not want to tell Aiden what had happened. Didn’t want to bother him. And she was afraid that he might decide that she was going crazy. But Aiden knew very well how much she was experiencing Carolyn’s death and understood if her swoon was not related to her physical health, then it was caused by something else.

      – Do not lie to me, – he said. – I listen to you carefully.

      Miranda looked at him and did not recognize in him that Aiden whom she had always known. Aiden, who is constantly teased her. Now in front of her sat like some other man. He was serious and, despite his seemingly calm look, she understood how much he was worried about her. Miranda sighed heavily.

      – So will you tell me what happened to you? – he asked again.

      And the girl told him about what happened before she passed out.

      Aiden, listened to her carefully. Then he rose from his chair and walked over to her. Then he rose from his chair and walked over to her. He sat down next to her on the bed and hugged her tightly.

      – Sorry honey, – he said. – I stayed at work… If I had come a little earlier…

      – You are not guilty of anything, – she answered. – If this happened, then it should have happened.

      Aiden a little pulled Miranda from himself and looked into her blue, sad eyes.

      – Let’s move to another place? Away from this house, – he suggested.

      – No, Aiden, we already talked about this. I feel like I need to be here. – she answered.

      – In this case, maybe then you should contact a specialist? – he said.

      Miranda’s expression suddenly changed dramatically. It was obvious that the girl was offended and even a little angry.

      – Something is wrong? – asked Aiden.

      – Do you think I’m crazy? – trying to hold back her tears, she squeezed out.

      – Oh God, Miranda! – he exclaimed. – I did not mean it at all!

      – What did you mean then?

      – I meant a psychic or medium, or whatever they are called?!

      – Medium? – calm down, asked Miranda. – You do not believe in all this…

      – I do not believe, – confirmed the man, – But I believe you!

      Miranda smiled. Aiden could not even imagine how important these words were for her. She hugged the man tightly and said softly:

      – Thank you.

      6. Seance

      The next morning, while Miranda was still sleeping, Aiden began to search for the psychic. And although he didn’t really believe in all these supernatural things and especially didn’t trust these people, who, he believed, were just good psychologists and cashing in on someone else’s grief, he still hoped to help his bride. He did not know whether
