allo. my name is Maggi (well.. that's what everyone calls me at least). this is my first time on this forum. i came here cause i have a problem that may or might have already been solved. im not sure if this is the best thread to post it in, but it kinda looks appropriate.
it begins with about about two hours ago. or maybe half an hour ago, im not even sure how much time has actually passed. it's well passed midnight and i was taking a walk around town and began to go on the local college campus because it's beautiful at night. i was walking up the stone fie escape of the fine arts building (it's the tallest building in the city and overlooks everything and my favorite place in the world) suddenly everything felt wrong three quarters of the way up. i have been around many spirits before, but to explain the feeling: it was if i had walked into the presence of a person that was moving silently all round me, hungrily whispering for me to run from them as if i were something between prey and plaything. i was leaving the buildings presence as calmly as i could, but as soon as i got to the foot of the stairs i felt her. and i could see her, but not with my two eyes.
she looked young. like she was younger than me (22) when she died; with matted, long, dirty-blond hair; and a lips that, although straight and lifeless, felt like a horrid smirk. i've see spirits often, but the odd part about this one is that i could clearly see her eyes looking straight into me. the were cold with red around the edges, irises faded blue, and pupils so dark it was like staring into the great void.
i forced myself to walk past her, because she was blocking the exit, and after i did i heard (or rather felt) her say, "why are you leaving (me)?" i couldnt help but stop and turn around to "look" at her. she was in the same place, just staring at me with that same expression. i motioned for her to leave me be and even mouthed the words, too paranoid that talking would only make her talk more. i quickly started back to my friends' house and she followed me the entire way. at first she just casually followed me. i saw her shadow walking beside me once or twice. it was like she found interest in me. some of the street lights were barely on early in the walk, and thats where i think i screwed up. i learned a long time ago how to use my spirit to make them light up for a while and i did it without thinking. after that i could feel her even worse. like she was so interested in me... she made one of the lights i turned on go out as i walked by it and made a whisper noise from this random empty baby carriage in the now shadowed yard to my left. the started hiding in the shadows and making noises that was like static in the darkness. as i got closer to my friends' house, the shivers got worse and worse. by the time i was at there door it was like i was in a bath of ice water. but as soon as i walked through the door, it was all over. my friends are priestess and high priest of their coven and have strong wards on their house. but i could still feel her outside. even as i finish this story, she's there.
sooo.... i know i can have a cleansing and/or ritual to have her be gone, but my question is, how long do powerful spirits usually follow an individual such as in my case? i say she is a witch because she was impressing herself in my head our entire "stroll" together, and i KNOW she was once alive and practiced magic. possibly over a century ago, but she couldnt sense time as we can. it was as if she saw me as a friend in some sick was and yet proceeded to try to scare me as much as she was aloud. maybe she was/is hoping i would confront her and ask her what she wants, but from what i got to know from her i dont want to be held to the contract of doing a task for her.
do you think she'll go away by morning or am i going to have to do something about this? thanks for your input and sorry for the drawn out explanation.
love,
maggi
