All Chapters of Haunted: Chapter 11 - Chapter 17

Back at the apartment, Amelie began to prepare a small dinner. Denise was at her company party today and would certainly eat her way through the entire buffet there. So a one-man menu would be enough this time.Amelie cooked some spaghetti and created a simple carbonara sauce out of the bag to go with it. Sometimes it just wasn't that bad. Especially when your thoughts were somewhere else anyway. Again and again she looked back on the conversation with Samuel in her head. The way he put it, there was a theoretical possibility that he was a supernatural creature. That would also explain how he could vanish into thin air before her eyes. Theoretically. Because she lived in reality and there was nothing supernatural . Even if local mentalists and media tried to persuade you to do it again and again. So to be absolutely sure that she wasn't crazy, she would have to touch him next time. Just to make sure he was flesh and blood and not just a ghostly hallucination of her subconscio

Samuel nodded vaguely.In other words, Samuel was playing God. He took life, and sometimes gave it when he had a good day. At least it sounded difficult after that."Nobody should have that much power.""I have them in a way.""The cat ...", it suddenly occurred to Amelie, "You have withdrawn the rest of her life energy."Samuel nodded again."But why didn't you save her when you can?""She was as good as dead when I was with her.""So what? I would save everything that could be done if I had the power! ""Then you would work purposefully by your task as the transporter of the dead."Amelie shrugged indifferently."What should happen?""Apart from the fact that the already overpopulated world would be even more overpopulated, you would suffer the fate of a fallen angel and die final death."Amelie looked puzzled. Depending on the suitability of the soul, one became an angel after human death.

She rubbed Idefix as dry as possible and took off her shoes, socks and jacket, sat down with her aunt on the couch and let herself be showered with the same evening program. Inevitably, her mind kept drifting back to Samuel. Didn't he say it wouldn't be long? A glance at her cell phone told her it had been almost four hours since he left. Had something happened to him? But what should happen to him? After all, he wasn't even really alive; if everything he'd told her so far was true.A little later, she said goodnight to Denise and crumbled into her room with Ide in tow. As soon as she had entered the room, an icy breeze made her shiver and her breathing became visible. Idefix tensed and growled menacingly as a shadow moved in the farthest corner. Although she couldn't be 100 percent sure it was just Samuel, she surely pushed Idefix out of the room with her leg and closed the door in front of his nose. Because if he continued to growl, Denise would become suspicious. And expla

Saturday was largely unspectacular until the early evening. Amelie had thought for a long time whether she should tell Niels about Samuel, but in the end decided against it. Because a) she didn't know whether she was allowed to talk to others about her newly acquired knowledge and b) probably nobody would believe her anyway. After all, if she hadn't assured herself that Samuel was more or less flesh and blood, she would still have doubted her sanity. Samuel accompanied her in her mind through the whole day and by now she had made her peace with the fact that he and his supernatural world actually existed.But she still did not want to accept that she supposedly possessed the soul of light, which was only to be born every few decades and later become an archangel.A mute Niels, for example, who couldn't harm a fly and was simply kind to everyone, certainly had a much purer soul than she. Samuel just hadn't looked very closely at all the others and therefore declared her
