Haunted
Chapter 4
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSunset brings her head to the small speaker. As she listens, she can hear what sounds like people screaming for help, babies crying, and can also hear what sounds like a ship actually sinking. Tears are now filling Sunset's eyes as she listens.
"I can't." She said as she starts to sob. "I just can't."
"What's wrong?" Richard asks.
"I don't think you would want to listen to that." Sunset Shimmer said to Richard as he took his head to the speaker.
"You heard it too?" You asked. Sunset Shimmer nods as she blinked a tear. "Hug?" Yo said as you spread your arms wide for her. Sunset hugs you tightly as you do the same. Damn, she feels so... so warm. Everytime you feel her, you can't help but blush.
"Damn." Richard said as he took his head away from the speaker. "That's just... damn." Sunset releases you from the hug and you both look at Richard. "You two wanna head to the surface?" You both nod in agreement to tell that you had enough of listening to the screaming souls of this haunted ship.
"Alright," Richard grabs a little mic peace. "Hey Jack. We're heading back to the surface."
"Copy that." Was all you heard from the little speaker that's connected to the mic. (Not the one that's recording all the screams)
* * * * * *
Finally, you're at the surface. As the sub reached the stern of the ship finder, you both hurried out of the sub as Richard and the other female crew came out as well. You and Sunset had never experienced anything like that. It's like worse than going to a haunted house or something.
"Goddamn." You said.
"I know, it's so... horrible." Sunset said as she can now hear the screaming of the Titanic souls in her head. As you walk beside her, you too hear the screaming souls echoing in your mind. You try to brush it all away, but it's no use. You look at the water, as you did, you grabbed your phone and take a picture.
"What are you doing?" Sunset Shimmer asked you.
"Hang on." You said as that flash light came on when you had that camera on your phone point at the water. You take a picture.
You and Sunset Shimmer look at the photo, and before your eyes, you look closer at the photo when you see some light black spots where the camera tried to catch when the flashlight went off.
"Wait, what's that?" Sunset said pointing at something. You zoomed in where she pointed. From the look of it, it looks like... a mother holding her baby in the water after the Titanic sunk. "Oh my god." Sunset said as both of your eyes are hypnotized at the photo. You also look closer at the picture.
"Look." You said as you pointed at the rest of the photo. "That must be all the people that died here." That's what it looks like. Man, you and Sunset feel so...
"Hey kids, what'cha' doin?" Richard asked when he walked up behind you two. You did hear him, but you and Sunset didn't answer. Richard looks down at the photo you took with your phone. "Is that...?"
"Yep." You said. "That's probably all the souls that died here."
"Damn." As Richard said that. You all began to hear screams. And this time, it's not in your heads. All you hear was.
"Help me!"
"Help us!"
"My baby!"
And what's worse... babies crying.
"C-Can we go inside?" You asked without thinking.
"Yeah. Come on." Richard said as the three of you walked inside the ship and you can still hear the screaming souls of the passengers that were on board.
"Hey Jack!" Richard said as He called his crew member. "Set course for home!"
"Aye!"

You and Sunset are in your rooms as you two get ready for bed. It's already 2:15 AM and you and Sunset can't sleep.
"Man, I can't believe that..." You said as you didn't finish your sentence.
"I know. I bet it was awful." Sunset said as she kicked off her slippers. You two did sleep in separate beds by the way. You take the pocket watch out of your pocket, and you place it on the nightstand beside you. As you did that, you get up and close the curtains.
"Why did you do that for?" Sunset chuckled.
"I'm not seeing a ghosts face through that window." You said.
Sunset giggled a little bit. Good god, she's got a really cute giggle. "Let's just get some sleep." She said as her smile doesn't fade away.
"Y-Yeah, sure." You said with your face beating red. You turn off the lamp next to you. You also looked at the pocket watch as you can barley see the time.
2:20 AM.
