The trio continued walking deeper into the forest, Harris kept trying to convince Andrey that this forest was completely "safe". But poor him, Andrey was too scared to even believe Harris. While Louis just sighed and shook his head.
"Don't worry, Andrey, ghosts ain't real" Harris reassured
"don't worry your arse! What about all the dangerous creatures in here?!" Louis said
"creatures? You sure you didn't read too much fantasy books, Lou?" Harris asked
"I'm sure" Louis rolled his eyes
"the only thing you have to be worry here are the mosquitos" Harris said, then he turned to his friends, walking backward
"beside, I've made a few researches about this forest" Harris added
Louis and Andrey just looked at each other, raising an eyebrow
Harris did some researches? That was definitely new
"but I have a nasty feeling-" Andrey suddenly froze mid-sentence
Louis also froze mid-step, his eyes wide with disbelief, shock and a bit of horror as he stared at something behind Harris
"why are you guys standing like stature?" Harris asked, frowning slightly
Andrey shakily lifted his hand and pointed at the thing behind Harris
"g-g-g..." Andrey was too scared to form a single word
"Ghost!" Louis said, taking a step back
"Ghost? Real funny guys" Harris said
"No! Turn around!" Louis said
At that moment, Harris's face shifted from amusement to confusion then realization
"it's behind me, ain't it?" Harris slowly asked
"that's why I told you to turn around, you idiot" Louis said
Harris looked at Louis for a minute before turning around, bracing himself for whatever he was gonna see
the ghost just stared blankly at him, and he stared back, the two had a kind of staring content (Harris blinked) before Harris let out a "HOLY FUCKING SHIT!"
And he ran to Louis and hid behind him, Louis looked at the heir with a "what the fuck" look
"wait, do not be afraid" The ghost said
"that's what an angel says, and you're not an angel!" Harris said
"oh shut" The ghost said before continued "don't be afraid, I'm a good ghost"
Louis raised an eyebrow then looked at Andrey, "ghosts even have this ghost that ghost?"
"How in the living hell can we know that you're not some kind of ghost only wanting to rip our heads off?" Harris asked
"because I will be the next guardian of this forest" The ghost said
"as if we will believe that" Harris said under his breath before turning to his friends
"come on guys, route changed" Harris said
"we are coming home?" Andrey asked, hope in his eyes
"no, we're going another way" Harris said then grabbed Andrey's hand and literally dragging him into the trees
"excuse us" Louis said to the ghost then followed the two
Harris's rule: Never trust anyone, including ghosts, creatures, etc (his friends and mother are an exception)
