MY STORY:

I was walking home from school. I've always walked through the back alley and that day I was walking down it from school, when I felt like I was being followed. Now, your gonna think this is were the supernatural bit comes in, but you're wrong. Turns out a few feet behind me are the school bullies.

Well, I stop, I know what they want. To beat me up, they don't care I'm a girl and there supposed to be tougher than me (they're not anymore, I've taken up boxing, though I doubt I'll need it). So they catch up with me, and the leader Josh, tells me to hand over whatever money I have or get beat up if I don't cough up. Now, I have about 50p and that's it in my pocket so I say "Go away, leave me alone, get a life, I've only got about 50p!", but they say "every little helps". So, when I refuse to hand them my 46p (I counted it later) Josh's twin Jack comes forward and prepares to punch me.

He draws back his fist and then before I know it it's whizzing towards my face and I close my eyes. I prepare for the impact but it doesn't come. I open me eyes and see that Jack's fist is just stopped in mid air. I can see him trying to push it forward, continue the swing, his face contorted with effort. Suddenly, Jack doubles up and groans as he falls to the floor.

I can see what stopped him now. It's a ghost like figure of a boy, about my age, with scruffy hair and big eyes. He's a bit scrawny but what surprises me is that he's in such modern clothes. When I think of ghosts I think of old Victorian people or something, not a boy wearing a hoody and jeans and trainers. It weirded me out.

This boy grinned at me. HE GRINNED AT ME. I was totally freaked then, as grateful as I was for him helping me, I was still freaked. Anyway, I realized the bullies were distracted by Jack groaning on the floor. I took the chance and legged it, and to my amazement I saw the boy legging it too, right next to me.

I keep seeing this boy, once even in my room! I don't mind cause I reckon he's good, but he might not be. Do demons try to trick people by gaining their trust? Please leave your comments and suggestions, because I am just so curious to find out what sort of being he is.
