Ghost Tessa
***One year later***
Andre and Laura had one hell of parenting the little girl they called Amelia. Somehow, she has been stressing them out and they don't know why. Maybe it's because it's their first child? They thought.
Amelia is one year old and they thought all the stress would reduce but it didn't. Amelia could walk and she could say a few words. Her mother noticed that at night Amelia doesn't sleep but stays up late and she later gets her sleep in the morning. This went on for months and they decided it was time to take the girl to the hospital to do a check-up on her.
Arriving at the hospital, Laura and Andre took Amelia to see the doctor that took care of her.
"Nice to meet you once again, Mr. And Mrs. Chestnut." the doctor greeted them, shaking their hands.
"Good morning Doctor Lex." Laura greeted. The doctor could notice some worry from the way she sounded.
"Is everything OK?" The doctor asked.
"We would like to do a check-up on Amelia," Laura answered.
Andre carried Amelia on his feet and when Amelia saw the man, she frowned.
"Look how big she's grown." The doctor touched her hand and immediately Amelia burst into tears. "I'll get Nurse Christen to take the child and do some tests on her. If there's anything, we'll let you know."
They nodded as the doctor gave a call and Nurse Christen appeared minutes later.
"Good morning." The nurse greeted her with a smile. "And is that our little Angel?" Nurse Christen said, carrying Amelia.
Amelia's sad face suddenly turned into a happy face. She smiled and giggled as the nurse threw her up and caught her. All of a sudden, the girl's eyes turned blue and as soon as Nurse Christen looked into them, she froze for a few minutes. After Amelia's eyes went back to normal and Nurse Christen had regained herself, she handed the baby over to Laura and gave a slight smile.
Amelia kept on smiling and giggling.
"Take her and run some tests on her." The doctor instructed but the nurse felt she wasn't up to the task. She was feeling dizzy all of a sudden. "I'm sorry. I need to use the restroom, I'll be back." She didn't wait to listen to the doctor's approval, she ran out of the office.
Nurse Christen got to the restroom, she checked everywhere to see if anyone was in and when she saw that no one was in, she locked the door.
She stood in front of the mirror facing as she studied her features. She didn't understand what was happening but she could feel something was happening to her. She turned on the tap and used the water to wash her face, immediately she took her hands off her face, she saw a figure and it was coming closer to her. She washed her face again and the figure was gone. She didn't need to be told twice, she opened the door and ran out of the restroom. ***Four Years Later**
Amelia is five years old. She has grown up to be a beautiful kid. Her beautiful black curly hair was packed up in a ponytail with a red hair clip attached to one side of her hair. Her brown eyes turn golden brown when the sun shines through them. She was fit and a little chubby. Being an only child made her well taken care of.
Today, she is starting kindergarten at her new school- Brilliant Kids but Amelia has no intention of going to school because she's scared of how she'd be treated.
She was in her room when a ghost appeared to her. The ghost was twenty years old with blond hair and boggy green eyes. Amelia had gotten used to seeing ghosts so she's no longer afraid of them. "You're going to school?" the ghost spoke to her.
Amelia nodded. "What will you be doing while I'm gone?". She asked the girl.

"I don't know... probably sightseeing." The ghost told her, earning a weird look from Amelia.
"Sightseeing?" Amelia asked, not believing her ears. "I'll just pretend you didn't say that."
"Why? You don't think we ghosts need to go sightseeing?" The Ghost asked.
"Yes... because you're dead. Instead of sightseeing, you should think of a way to go back to the land of the dead or wherever ghosts go and rest in peace."
The ghost folded her arms as she stared at Amelia knowing that she was mocking her.
"Anyways, you've been living with me for years now and I have no idea what your name is."
"I'm Tessa Huston but you can call me Aunt Tessa," Tessa said proudly.
Amelia looked at her before bursting into laughter.
"What's funny? I'm way older than you."
"True but you're dead and you'll probably be like this for a thousand years. While I'm getting older, you'll still be twenty years old. So if there's anyone to be called aunt here, is this girl right here." Amelia said, pointing to herself. Tessa thought about it and someone she found out the girl was right. How can a girl be so little and yet very smart?
Amelia and Tessa heard footsteps. Amelia told Tessa to hide but Tessa stood there. It took a few seconds for Amelia to notice she was talking to a ghost and only she saw them.
"Why do I even bother?" Amelia said as her mother came in.
"Hey baby, are you ready for your new school?" Laura asked.
Amelia gave a fake smile. "Yeah."
"Let's go down, your dad is waiting for us," Laura said. As they were about to leave, Tessa stood at the door holding the handle of the door, when Laura tried opening the door she couldn't. Amelia tried shooing Tessa away without her mother knowing but she couldn't.
"Honey!" Laura called as Andre came. "Can you help open the door? I think it's stuck."
Andre grabbed the handle and was about to turn it when Tessa left the handle and immediately the door opened making Andre fall over with his wife and Amelia. Tessa looked at them and burst into laughter.
Amelia gave Tessa a stern look as she helped her parents up.
"That was awkward," Andre said as he gestured to his wife and kid to leave while he took a look at the door.
Tessa was standing there looking at him and laughing. "This is going to be fun." She said,
