Because you're a special being and a bridge between the ghost kingdom and human kingdom".
That is the mere reason you can see and converse with me and you alone can help me.
My soul needs peace so I can rest.
I'm listening I whispered, taking a deep breath.
Are sure you're ready?
Yes, I am ready. I replied.
I've always known I was gonna die that day cause I was a gift to my mum from a goddess, though only I knew this cause I couldn't share such a thing with my mum knowing I'm an only child".
But why were you gifted to her by a goddess?. I uttered.
Cause mum begged for a child from the goddess of the sea but what she never knew was that I wasn't gonna live long and I'll be taken away.
I was silent for a while and then I asked her, "Where then do I come in?
Before then I'll love to make you understand something she whispered her eyes boring into mine.
OK. I retorted.
"When I was little I've always had this power flowing in me".
"I could see things unseen just like you".
"I could do so many supernatural things, but all my life I've lacked one thing.
what?
"LOVE". She whispered.
How?"
At first, when all my relationships couldn't work out I thought I was just not fortunate she replied.
But on the day clocked 21 I had my first divine visitation.
"On that day I had just broken up with my sixth boyfriend".
I was so bitter that I went to the beach in the middle of the night just to find solace after asking mum why my relationships kept breaking apart and she couldn't give me a better reply.
It was on a full moon and everywhere was so radiant.
I sat close to the sea with so much bitterness and so many questions but suddenly I heard my name being called from deep inside the waters.
ISABELLA...
ISABELLA...
ISABELLA...
Here I am. I answered with boldness that I never knew was in me then she appeared".
Who? I enquired.
"She stared at me with a little smile plastered on her face, you're so curious and bold Chris.
Am impressed.
For a mere mortal, I expected you to be shivering right now.
You're forgetting one thing. I mumbled.
What?
You said am a special being, I guess that's why am bold.
Nodding her head, she started again.
Relaxing on a coffin on top of the sea close to me was a lady so so beautiful with a crown on her head and her eyes so shiny like a star.
The waves of light coming out of her body alone almost blinded my eyes that I had to shield my eyes with my hands.
The first time I trembled in fear cause all my life knowing who I was, I never feared anyone but here I was shivering.
ISABELLA MY CHILD. she called.
Who are you and how did you know my name? I asked feeling my heartbeat racing.
