Chapter 4: Who is Hagatha Mary?
Feeling weird to bits, Poe immediately retracts his head from the window, what is Agatha doing marching to his house while smiling sinisterly? He was pretty sure that just a few minutes ago, he asked her if she wanted to go out and she return his question with a big fat no.
Well, maybe she changed her mind, there's nothing wrong with that—Poe thought positively.
After a few minutes has passed, Poe hasn't heard even one knocking sound from the front door of his house—Where is Agatha? Isn't she marching to his house? He swore just a few minutes ago Agatha is already in front of his house, looking at it like she wants to scream bloody murder.
Braving himself Poe took a peek again from the slits of his front window curtains—to check if Agatha is still there-- peculiarly, she's not even there anymore, it's like she has never been there in the first place.
Now, that's rather weird, Poe thought to himself while retracting his head from the front window of his house—after that he just stood in the same position, just thinking.
Actually, Poe wouldn't lie to himself-- there are one or two times that people around him taking weird glances these past one year at him when he went in or out from Agatha's house. After a while, he started getting used to it—he thought those people maybe just curious about what happened with Agatha after her parents has died, nothing strange, just curious people.
BUT, after seeing and feeling, also realizing what has happened today, he started to question those people's stares—is there more to it? Is there more to Agatha Mary?
Poe admits that the girl, Agatha Mary has changed since the death of her parents—it's no secret.
Something inside Poe is urging him to search the internet for more information on the death of Agatha Mary's parents. Probably some of the past news can give him answers about what's happening now.
Poe went over to his room to take a seat in front of his computer, his room is the typical baseball player room, with things related to the teams and baseball are all scattered in every corner of the room—he has been living this life since three years ago, so there's nothing new.
Poe prepared the mug filled with aromatic tea to accompany him as he ventures deeper into the websites that contains information about Agatha Mary—Deep down, Poe knows that searching information about his best friend is bad enough, it kind of feels like that they don't trust each other.
But somehow it felt like he needs this—he needs answer.
The first few websites that Poe opened has nothing interesting connecting to the weird behaviors of Agatha Mary—he started to lose hope, after all there's nothing wrong with his best friend, so what makes her do something like what happened a few minutes ago?
Somehow, his fingers started to type the name of Agatha Mary on the search page of google—a few websites containing her information showed up, things like her Instagram or social media popped up.
But what catches Poe's eyes the most is the one that writes 'The death of Agatha Mary'.
Immediately, as fast as his fingers clicked the website, it won't beat the speed or prayers that he sent to God, he prays that the Agatha Mary on the website is not the Agatha Mary that he knew.
His eyes skimmed the first few words of the websites.
Three members of one family die in tragic car crash in Winchester, United Kingdom
Four people, including three members of one family, were killed in a collision between two cars in Winchester, United Kingdom, a medical official has said.
The accident occurred Saturday night on a road in the western part of Winchester, United Kingdom—The names of the victims are Silvia Hawkins, Edgar Hawkins, and their daughter Hagatha Mary.
Wait—Hagatha? Isn't her name Agatha? Is the girl that's involved in the accident is not her?
A picture then popped up at the bottom of the page, the picture of the family was shown—and like the news has said, it includes one pair of couple along with their teenage daughter.
In the picture shown by the web, the teenage daughter was none other than Agatha Mary—is she dead?
If she is, then why is she still here?-- Poe thought warily, he did the double take at the website page—why is this website is the only website that shows, the daughter, Agatha Mary is dead along with her parents? This just doesn't make any sense.
For a while Poe just stood there, unable to do and to think about anything.
He's scared, confused, wary and sad mixed into one—to sum it up, he is a mess.
Suddenly, the front door of Poe's house is being knocked hardly— like whoever is or are outside the house need to speak to him urgently.
Poe can only pray to God that it is not Agatha standing outside of his house—because oh, bless him, if he really is in the same room as her, let alone talk to her in a condition like this.
He needs some time to think.
Whoever outside that door, better not be Agatha—at times like this he hoped an indigo like Phoebe can help him—Phoebe is known for her talent at school in seeing ghosts, besides she is also Agatha and Poe's neighbor.
And out of all people that have seen Poe went out of Agatha's house, Phoebe is the only one that gives him a look of pity—like she wants to tell him something. But of course, Poe being Poe, thought that maybe Phoebe is just jealous with their best friend relationship and pay no attention to her.
But now—he does pray that it is her outside that door.
Poe went downstairs from his bedroom at the second floor and cautiously peek through the slits of the curtain from his front porch window.
Suddenly a face pops out looking him straight in the eyes—like someone is also peeking inside the house, "Poe!—" a girl screamed in his face.
