Chapter 30: Chapter 30

We arrived at the La Berta Miranda boutique. I just went downstairs while he was next, I immediately called Blake when I went inside.

"Good day ma'am." Greetings from a woman after I entered. I was about to speak when someone called me, I immediately looked at it, but did not show a few smiles. But I was even more surprised when Keir appeared from behind it. Ghad! I was a little nervous because of its serious face that you'd think would fetch Blake, anytime.

"H-hello." He even turned around and looked even happier not to see Keir.

"Looks like the idiot is not here." He smiled at this promise and immediately approached me. I would have hugged it as I walked closer to the mannequins. But where here is he saying? Everyone here is normal mannequins. But I can't help but to smile while holding the wedding gowns, how can it feel to wear it? Then you will marry the person you love so much? In my cas, that seems vague, because I can't marry a Grim reaper.

"When we get married that's better." I even screamed in shock when Keir suddenly whispered.

"Quinn, are you okay?" Blake asked on the other side, of course they can't see Keir.

"Yeah." My short answer.

"Don't be surprised." I whispered to him that he laughed. When we're like this, I'll be mistaken for really mad at it.

"Where are you talking about here?" I turned my gaze back to Blake as one of my hands was held by Keir.

"Come with me." He immediately grabbed my hand and pulled me, but Keir's pull also brought me back. I just closed my eyes when Keir caught me. OMG! What will I do?

"I'll follow." I immediately pulled my hand that Blake was holding, it still shrugged and walked away. I follow him on foot while still holding me in Keir's hand.

"Quinn." I was stunned when it stopped.

"You know, it's kind of weird because you don't believe in ghosts and neither do I. But why are we doing this? You're with Keir, he's so weird that you can be with that kind of guy?" My grip tightened on Keir's hand after it was no doubt Blake would say.

"What if I exchange his soul for the soul we can get?" I looked at Keir and glared at him. I know he's not kidding about this thing.

"Are we here to insult Keir?" I raised an eyebrow at Blake.

"I've been addicted to ghosts since I was once ghosted," I added. He folded his mouth and started walking towards a mannequin. I let go of Keir's hold and immediately approached her. She has a beautiful face, she looks like a real person and when you look into her eyes you see a living person. She looks like a model or beauty queen, she is different from other mannequins because of the extra detail of her face. My heartbeat quickened as I touched it, smoke touched my hands.

"Quinn." Blake was with me when I suddenly backed away.

"I saw something." I immediately confronted Keir.

"Who are you talking to?" Blake was surprised but I didn't bother to pay attention to him. I also don't care if he thinks I'm crazy because I'm talking to someone he can't see.

"T-this mannequin is a real person, they do a ritual to keep her beautiful face. T-there's a soul resorted to what they were doing and finally took care of it. Since then, they have had to dedicate someone within a year to use the gown they are wearing. When that happens, on the very day of the wedding the soul of the bride will be the offering to the soul that gives them luck." I had a long explanation of what I saw.

"But it doesn't go to the soul that's in it, if not to the soul that put her here." My explanation is confusing. I can't quite see that one's face but I think he was behind the other case we faced.

"It means it's connected to the rest," Keir replied while looking at the mannequin.

"What are you saying, Quinn? Who are you talking to?" I immediately confronted Blake after he grabbed my arm.

"I'll explain later." I removed his hand and turned my gaze back to Keir.

"You're just here, I'll take care of it." I nodded and gave him way. Just like he did in the black video, he put his hand on the mannequin and there were uttered words I couldn't understand. The emphasis on the words became more and more intense, and I backed away when the light went out and soon exploded. I covered my face and Blake cover me.

"Even though I don't know what's going on, I'm just here to protect you." I slowly removed my hand from my face and looked at Blake. I looked into his eyes but I couldn't find the sparkles I had seen before.

"What did you do?" Annoyed cry of the old man. We fixed it, it approached the mannequin in shock but it could not stand the strong wind. I looked at Keir, I was worried that he might weaken again because he was doing this. I want to help but Blake won't let me down.

"I feel sorry for you, stop what you're doing." This old man's plea. That's right, he did it all.

Miranda was an only child but on the day of the wedding she never woke up. From then on she did everything she could to bring his daughter back to life until a woman came and offered him the thing. He needs to build a wedding dress boutique and make her as mannequin of the most beautiful and expensive dress. Her body will remain but another soul is inside, in return she will have to dedicate her soul to whoever will wear the wedding dress she is wearing. We all stopped, this mannequin from falling and the soul remained standing.

"Miranda" The old man cried as he approached the corpse. Its corpse is human but it is also gradually turning to ashes.

"Keir." I broke Blake's hand and ran to the fainting Keir.

"He's one of the ones we're looking for." My chest throbbed quickly as he said this. But who is he among those we are looking for? Is she Valeria? She has a beautiful face and can be seen as a Filipina maiden, which means we are only looking for two.

"W-what did you do?" I was even pushed back when the old man tried to dash, fortunately Blake caught it right away.

"A heavy punishment awaits the rest of your life. The ten times you give birth, ten times you will experience the same thing you did. Ten times in your life you will lose your only child," I said here. I don't know why I said those wordsor but suddenly came out of my mouth.

"I'll explain everything later Blake, but for now we're leaving." After I said this I held on to the soul. Like before it was also silent, because they had no memory so they did not know what was happening. I sat on the back of the soul and looked at Keir.

"Are you really okay? What's wrong with you?" I'm worried.

"The curse that clings to bad spirits is so strong that I can easily weaken, but I'm fine. As long as you're by my side I feel like I'm more than strong." Smiling and out dimple at this promise, his eyes widened and his forehead furrowed.

"We're in this situation that you've still managed to joke." I slapped his arm once and looked out the window. Really annoying, why is my speed thrill? I still thought I would not be weak.

"All right, let's take him to the hotel first." Maybe later it will go away, we will have a hard time getting stuck. We only have to find two to finish this, but why do I feel like I want to take longer? I still don't want him to leave, I'm scared.

I was afraid to be left alone with the memories of the two of us. But who is behind them? Who releases bad spirits just to be sacrificed by souls? Lots of questions in my brain but why can't I find the answer? Or maybe the answer to all of this has to do with a single incident?

I was afraid of the truth, but the question never left me. In the how, who and what. There can only be one answer to all this, the reason for what is happening to me. The Goddess of souls, she alone can answer all the questions I want answered.
