Phantoms

It was the last thing he wanted to hear.Phantoms.
Leslie promised that he would go and hello to his dead friend at his house.
He had no transport but a horse.He saddled and set of towards the house.The most strangest he ever saw.
"Knock,knock,knock",Leslie rapped on the door.
No answer.
After knocking for several times the phantoms did not even stir the least bit.
"Tell him that I kept my promise,tell him I never broke it",and with that he gave his last bye to the house and departed.
Leslie wanted to get home really quickly.He remembered something.Something which he swore never to speak of,he most probably would go to jail if he did so.
As he took the woods for the shortcut he remembered his best friend telling before dying with Cancer,"You might find me there in the woods if I die".
For some reason his horse stopped and it showed no weariness.It was staring straight ahead into the woods,no one there but a horse,human and a phantom.Unluckily his own best friend.
For one moment his eyes were bloodshot and suddenly he smiled,he actually smiled.
Wearing his coat and denim just like he used to,there he was gazing into Leslie.Horror struck Leslie.
"Sirius?"
"Yeah,never believed me,did ya?"
"Listen Sirius,I never betrayed you,why so angry?"
Sirius spat on the ground,for some reason it looked like blood and that made Leslie feel uncomfortable.
"Tell me Sirius,are you really alive or is this you as a ghost?"
"There's no such thing as ghosts,you believed those stuff except me,you're no true friend"
Anger surged through Leslie's body and he started to go forward,and he just passed clean through Sirius's body.
When he turned back there was no one but a horse,it's pupils gone white with horror.
Leslie saddled and went home as fast as he can,but never did he get to reach his destination as he felt dread.
It struck him so swiftly that he barely had time to think
A hand grasping his intestines and blood soaking his shirt.
He tumbled down a hill and when he woke up.Everything was quite,but there was something wrong.The child holding Sirius looked so familiar.
"Wait a minute,is that,s-s-s-s Sophia.
"Yeah,and she's really happy after you,you know murdered her.
"No,please Sophia,no don't come near me!"
"I won't ,you will!
And with that all the things around her seemed to attract towards her,even the trees.
Leslie felt his vision beginning to dim,and lights out.
He got up sweating on his bed.
"The most horrible nightmare I've ever seen"
"This might be more horrible",said a raspy sort of voice.
A hand plunged right into his heart,and out came a fleshy looking piece of meat in Sophia's hand.
"As a reminder of me and my father", and with that she devoured the whole heart in one gulp and there it was,the big hole in the place where her heart was supposed to be.But now it was filled.
Leslie did not have time to say sorry when suddenly a shadow of a grown man fell over him.
The shadow of the phantom,SIRIUS!
