When my mom was a little girl, she heard this wild rumor that she comes from a family of witches.

So naturally, like any sane person, she wanted to get to the bottom of this.

She graduated college with honors and went all in on studying the supernatural in a more scientific way.

And her big takeaway was that the supernatural is real.

We just need the right means to connect with it.

But even though mom became super famous for her groundbreaking work, She still couldn't figure out if our family had any connection to witches.

She was so obsessed with finding the answer that she neglected everything else.

Which didn't sit well with dad.

They fought all the time.

And eventually, he had enough and left.

Soon after, mom realized she was pregnant with me.

So she dropped her research, moved into her childhood home with Aunt Jessie, and became the most devoted mom ever.

But the second I started high school, she drove right back into her witch hunt.

She even had this creepy little office where she kept all the souvenirs from her years of research.

And Aunt Jessie absolutely hated that place.

Oh my god, Kara, who gave you that awful haircut?

Mom did.

What's wrong?

Nothing, except you looked like a shaved squirrel.

She looks fine, Jessie.

And why are you in my office anyway?

I thought you hated coming here.

I do.

It's just that I need some money.

I'm traveling to Bora Bora tomorrow with Jack, and I don't want him to see me as some wannabe leeching off his money.

Who's Jack?

I thought you were dating Mark.

Ugh, Mark was such a bore, so I broke up with him.

Now I'm dating Jack.

You know he's an entrepreneur and he owns a yacht?

A yacht!

Only one thousandth of a percent of the world population own a yacht.

And Jack is one of them.

Now, if you're done interrogating me, can I have some cash?

Aunt Jessie was Mom's twin sister, but unlike Mom, Jessie was a total free spirit.

She drifted from place to place, never held down a steady job, and dreamed of marrying rich so she'd never have to work.

Mom thought Jessie was a total flake, and for Jessie, Mom was one science experiment away from turning into a mad scientist.

So, obviously, they never got along.

And life went on, until one day, everything changed.

Yeah, we say that a lot around here.

Just like we keep asking you to like and subscribe.

So please go ahead and do that.

Anyway, Mom was in her creepy office doing her usual research when we heard a loud crash.

Jessie and I rushed in to check on her.

And there she was, passed out cold on the floor.

Her research papers were scattered everywhere.

And right in the middle was this weird necklace.

I ran to Mom's side while Aunt Jessie called the ambulance but when the paramedics arrived, they said she was in a coma.

Mom was rushed to the hospital, but the necklace stayed behind.

I couldn't bring myself to leave it there.

It felt important, like it might hold the answers we needed.

So I took it and always kept it close to me.

Oh my god, just toss that ugly thing already.

No way!

This was the last thing

Mom was researching before she collapsed.

She might need it when she wakes up. For what?

To wear to some ugly necklace convention?

Kara, you're 18.

Go live your life.

You sulk way too much for a teenager.

And you're way too wild for someone in their 40s.

Don't you care about mom at all?

Aren't you even a little worried if she's ever gonna wake up?

Look, your mom's nuts, okay?

For all we know, this is because she spent too much time chasing ghosts and ancient nonsense.

Now, do me a favor and stop playing detective.

Aunt Jessie grabbed my arm and I wanted to pull away.

But I was too stunned.

Not because of what she did, but because of what I saw.

I had this vision where I saw Jessie in Mom's office pulling money out of her locker.

You stole from Mom's locker?

What locker?

I didn't steal anything.

But I just saw...

I grabbed Jessie's arm again, and just like before, I saw her in Mom's office stealing money.

I was trying to make sense of what was happening, when suddenly, my eyes fell on the necklace in my hand.

I kept it down and touched Jessie again. And nothing.

No visions this time.

Could this necklace actually be showing me something?

Oh no, you've got that look.

The same one your mom got whenever she went on about ghosts or spirits or whatever nonsense she wasted her life chasing.

Jesse kept groaning about something.

But my brain was stuck on the fact that the necklace actually had powers.

Every time I held it, these weird flashes would hit me.

I didn't totally get what they were.

Maybe they were some blurry sneak peeks into the future.

Honestly, with Jessie's track record, seeing her steal from mom felt pretty believable.

But I needed proof that this thing was legit.

So the next day, I wore the necklace to school, and like I suspected, Every time I bumped into someone,

I saw a glimpse of their future.

Like, I accidentally brushed up against Madison, our chair captain, and saw her flipping out in front of everyone.

Sure enough, later that day, she dumped her boyfriend and destroyed his locker.

I also saw

Kyle, the class clown, going home alone to his cats.

Which was kind of sad.

But then, I saw the rude school janitor having a terrible lunch that would keep him in the bathroom all afternoon.

That instantly lifted my spirits.

Oh, wow.

100

This is the best day ever.

101

Wee!

102

Talking to yourself, Kara?

103

Is that your secret strategy to beat me on the test?

104

Hate to break it to you, but it's not gonna work.

105

Ugh, Ethan.

106

Of course he had to walk in and ruin my perfect day.

107

Ethan is in my class, and he's probably the most perfect guy ever.

108

Rich, popular, a face that looks like it was carved by angels, and of course, perfect grades.

109

He's got it all.

110

But here's the kicker.

111

Ethan's insanely clumsy.

112

It's almost a talent, how bad he is at holding on to things.

113

Lunch trays, expensive vases, kittens, you name it, he's probably dropped it.

114

And yet somehow, his clumsiness just makes him even more charming to everyone.

115

Well, everyone but me.

116

I just thought it was hilarious how someone so perfect can be such an uncoordinated mess.

117

Oh my god, Ethan, are you okay?

118

Did you hurt yourself?

119

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

120

Just slipped a little.

121

No big deal.

122

Quick, someone get ice.

123

Call the nurse.

124

Ethan, how many fingers am I holding up?

125

Uh, two.

126

What's so funny?

127

Oh, nothing.

128

It's just, isn't this a little dramatic?

129

He just tripped.

130

He's not dying.

131

Just for the record, I could have seriously hurt myself.

132

What if I hit my head and broke my neck?

133

Would that be serious enough for you?

134

Oh my god, you're fine.

135

You may have a concussion, but that's about it.

136

And you literally fall every day, Ethan.

137

Multiple times a day.

138

And you're walking just fine, aren't you?

139

Ethan gave me the stink eye.

140

And since then, he's been in this weird, unspoken competition with me.

141

He tries to beat me at everything.

142

Grades, gym class, who gets to the front of the cafeteria line first.

143

And even though I have no idea why he's doing that, one thing's for sure, there's no way I'm letting him win.

144

I'm here.

145

I'm not late.

146

Ew, what's that smell?

147

Did you run here?

148

Just ask, Kara, and I'll lend you a couple bucks for the bus next time you're late.

149

At least I can run without tripping over a rock and rolling down the street.

150

I don't need to run.

151

I have a car with a private driver.

152

And thank God for that.

153

Or God knows how many people you would have run over by now, you clumsy fool.

154

How dare you?

155

Ethan lunged at me, but his foot caught on the desk, and he crashed right into me.

156

As soon as we touched, I had this crazy vision of Ethan wandering through a forest, moving deeper like he was searching for something.

157

And then suddenly, he reached the edge of the cliff and fell.

158

If you keep staring at me like that, you'll fall in love - Ugh, as if.

159

Get off me.

160

And yeah, maybe stay away from cliffs for a while, okay?

161

What?

162

Did you not get enough oxygen to your brain while running over here?

163

Just then the teacher walked in and we rushed back to our seats.

164

That entire day, I couldn't help keeping an eye on Ethan.

165

Even though he was a jerk, I didn't want him falling off a cliff because of some mysterious entity.

166

That would break too many hearts at school.

167

So later, when I saw him walking toward the woods behind the school, I decided to follow him, but he'd already walked in deeper.

168

I kept walking straight, trying to stay optimistic.

169

When I finally saw Ethan moving towards the cliff in a trance -like state.

170

Ethan!

171

Stop!

172

No response.

173

I screamed for him again, but when he didn't stop, I ran towards him and pulled his arm, snapping him back to reality.

174

Kara?

175

What?

176

Where am I?

177

You walked into the jungle.

178

You don't remember?

179

No, I remember being at football practice, and now I'm just here?

180

How did I even get here?

181

And wait, how'd you know where to find me?

182

Were you following me?

183

You were, weren't you?

184

Why?

185

Did one of my dad's enemies send you to keep an eye on me?

186

Tell me!

187

For a second, I panicked.

188

Ethan's dad was a senator, and me showing up out of nowhere was definitely weird.

189

Especially because we didn't get along.

190

I could understand why he'd be paranoid.

191

So I had no choice but to tell him the whole truth.

192

So you're telling me this necklace gives you the power to look into the future?

193

Yeah.

194

And I know it sounds super made up, but I swear to God, it's true and

195

if you don't believe me no i actually believe

196

you with all the weird stuff going on in my life right

197

now a magic necklace honestly feels pretty normal that's

198

when ethan told me

199

that for the past few months he was being haunted by a ghost it showed up out of nowhere

200

and ever since then his life had been a mess i was always clumsy but lately it's been getting worse.

201

I wake up doing the weirdest stuff, like wrecking my mom's rose garden or doodling all over some portrait of my great -grandfather.

202

And I don't even remember doing it.

203

But how are you so sure a ghost has something to do with this?

204

Because I've seen it.

205

Sometimes late at night, I'll catch a shadowy figure in the mirror, or feel like someone's standing right behind me.

206

Plus, we moved into this house only six months ago, and my parents were warned it might be haunted.

207

But the house belonged to my great -grandfather, and dad was obsessed with renovating it and moving in as soon as possible.

208

And now I'm haunted by this stupid ghost who probably wants me dead.

209

I stared at him, trying to process what he'd just said.

210

A ghost was making Ethan clumsy and dangerous?

211

It sounded ridiculous.

212

But then again, I was wearing a necklace that could show me the future.

213

So maybe this wasn't totally ridiculous.

214

You think I'm an idiot?

215

Yes, but that's beside the point.

216

Seems like this ghost has some serious beef with you, and we need to make sure it doesn't totally wreck your life.

217

Follow me.

218

Ethan watched me suspiciously, but followed me anyway, and I took him home.

219

I led him to Mom's office, dug through some of her stuff, and pulled out a protective talisman.

220

This should keep you safe for a while.

221

Although the ghost might still mess with your mind, it won't be able to harm you.. fatally.

222

Gee, thanks.

223

That's reassuring.

224

But how do you even know this stuff works?

225

My mom was a researcher of the supernatural.

226

I picked up a thing or two growing up in this chaos.

227

That is, until she got sick.

228

But I'm sure she'll be fine in no time.

229

And this time when she's back, I'm not letting her out of my sight for even one second.

230

At least you have that hope.

231

I live in the same house as my parents, and I barely see them.

232

Last month when I kept waking up in random places around the house, my dad just hired a sleep specialist,

233

then a psychiatrist, then a guard to lock my door at night.

234

Not once did he ask me what was actually wrong.

235

Just threw money at it until it looked fixed and I didn't cause any drama.

236

That sounds rough, but I guess we all have our battles.

237

I guess we do.

238

Since then, Ethan and I were practically inseparable.

239

Honestly, it wasn't by choice.

240

Ethan was convinced he couldn't survive without me.

241

And to be fair, he wasn't entirely wrong.

242

At first, the things I saw ahead of time were small.

243

Like stopping him from burning his tongue on hot cocoa or mixing up sugar and salt.

244

But as the week went on, things got way more intense.

245

First, I saved him from falling into the fountain in the school courtyard.

246

Then it was dodging a soccer ball that almost slammed into his face.

247

But things got really serious during science class when he nearly mixed two dangerous chemicals together.

248

And I had to jump out of my seat to stop him.

249

It looks like every time I stop you from a disaster, the ghost just gets angrier and pushes you into an even bigger one.

250

We need to stop this.

251

Did you sprinkle salt along the floor right up against the walls of your room like I asked you to?

252

That's the only way to keep the ghost out of your room.

253

Of course I did.

254

But the cleaning staff always sweeps it up and complains to my parents about the mess.

255

They think I've lost my mind.

256

Then ask one of your bodyguards to watch over you at night.

257

You've got plenty of those, don't you?

258

What am I, five?

259

My parents would think it's weird.

260

You have to come up with a better solution.

261

Like what?

262

I can't watch you 24 -7, Ethan.

263

There's got to be another way.

264

I have an idea.

265

Ethan's brilliant idea was to sneak me into his massive walk -in closet overnight without anyone noticing.

266

But why can't I just come in through the front door like a normal person?

267

I mean, you're kind of popular.

268

Don't you have friends coming over all the time?

269

You mean those kids I hang with at school?

270

They're only around because my dad's loaded.

271

None of them are real friends.

272

And even if they were, my dad's way too paranoid to let anyone in without running them through a hundred security checks.

273

Seriously, sneaking in is just easier.

274

And way more claustrophobic.

275

You'll survive.

276

But it was tougher than it looked.

277

Ethan's place was like a fortress.

278

Big, sprawling gardens.

279

Guards crawling everywhere with dogs that would rip you apart.

280

Even his closet was bigger than my room.

281

So I slipped in and waited for Ethan while his guards patrolled the house.

282

But with the blackout, the air felt heavy, and I started to feel dizzy.

283

Before I knew it, everything went dark, and I passed out.

284

When I opened my eyes, I wasn't in the closet anymore.

285

Instead, I was standing in a dimly lit hallway with creaky wooden floors and walls lined with old paintings.

286

Finally awake, sleeping beauty?

287

I spun around to see a girl my age, dressed like she had just walked out of a 19th century drama.

288

What is this?

289

Where am I?

290

Who are you?

291

Slow down, woman.

292

One question at a time.

293

You're having a dream.

294

And I'm the ghost of this gorgeous house.

295

You're the one haunting Ethan?

296

Haunting is such a dramatic word.

297

Let's just say I'm invested in his miserable little life.

298

Why?

299

Because I enjoy tormenting pretty boys.

300

In life, I scarcely had the time for such amusements.

301

But now, as a ghost, I can slip in and out of their lives as I please.

302

It's one of the few pleasures I have left.

303

Now, if you're done pestering me with questions, there's something important I need to show you.

304

She led me down a narrow staircase and finally stopped in a weird cave that looked like it was centuries old.

305

The walls were all stone, and on them were strange looping symbols repeated over and over in neat rows.

306

I was trying to make sense of what they meant

307

when the ghost gestured towards the end of the cave to a red door.

308

If you want answers, just walk through that door.

309

What's behind it?

310

The truth.

311

You're really enjoying this, aren't you?

312

Oh, immensely.

313

Now do as I say, you don't have much time.

314

I took a deep breath and walked over to the door.

315

But just as I was about to turn the knob, I heard a scream coming from the end of the cave.

316

I got so spooked, I immediately recoiled and fell.

317

My head hit the ground, and I don't remember what happened next.

318

Except I woke up staring at the ceiling in Ethan's living room.

319

I slowly got up, trying to make sense of what happened, when I saw Ethan holding a lighter standing inches away from the curtains.

320

Without thinking, I lunged forward and snatched the lighter out of his hand, when suddenly Ethan's parents walked in.

321

Who are you and what are you doing in my house?

322

Dad, she's...

323

I'm not asking you, Ethan.

324

You go to your room. But Dad...

325

I said leave!

326

Ethan's mom took his hand and took him to his room.

327

Well, I just stood in the living room, motionless.

328

As for you, girl, you broke into my house, and judging by that lighter in your hand,

329

I'd say your intention was to set something on fire.

330

Some rival sent you to sabotage me so I stepped down from my mayor campaign?

331

What?

332

No!

333

I wasn't trying to burn anything.

334

I was helping Ethan.

335

Ask him!

336

I don't have to ask him anything.

337

My son would never be friends with someone like you.

338

Excuse me, sir, but you're crossing a line here.

339

I agree, this whole thing looks suspicious, but I'm telling you the truth.

340

You can call my aunt, she can vouch for me.

341

Oh, I'm sure you have some accomplice ready to cover for you.

342

Enough of this nonsense, you're not fooling me.

343

Before I could argue any further, his dad pulled out his phone and called the police.

344

And an hour later, I was sitting in the police station, feeling like the unluckiest person in the world.

345

I was just about to lose my mind when Jesse burst through the doors and dragged me home.

346

Of all the stupid, reckless, irresponsible things you could have done, Kara, you broke into someone's house?

347

I didn't.

348

Ethan called me there.

349

He's my friend.

350

So you're telling me you have rich friends like that guy Ethan and you never told me?

351

How could you do that?

352

The least you should have done was to introduce me to his father.

353

For the love of God, Jesse, his dad's married.

354

Where are your morals?

355

Wolf, who needs morals when you can be rich?

356

And his dad's a politician, right?

357

Everyone knows politicians are always looking for trophy wives.

358

I'm sure I'd fit right in.

359

Now do me a favor and arrange a meeting.

360

I will do no such thing, you freak.

361

What?

362

I'll talk to him after break.

363

Tomorrow, at school.

364

I didn't.

365

Because Ethan didn't turn up at school the next day.

366

Which kind of had me worried.

367

I even called him, but he didn't answer.

368

So I thought he was just ignoring me after what happened with his dad last night.

369

But then, something in my heart told me things weren't right, so I decided to pay him a visit.

370

I was outside his mansion when suddenly I started hearing voices.

371

I walked in and froze.

372

Ethan was standing on the edge of the roof, swaying like a leaf in the wind.

373

His parents were shouting up at him.

374

Guards were barking into their walkie -talkies.

375

But no one was making a move to save him.

376

Ethan, sweetie, please wake up.

377

But Ethan didn't move.

378

It was clear he wasn't himself, and if someone startled him or rushed up there, it might only push him to jump.

379

I had to get to him somehow, so with everyone distracted, I slipped into the mansion and dashed upstairs to the rooftop.

380

Ethan?

381

Ethan, it's me.

382

Kara, I know you can hear me.

383

You're not alone.

384

I'm here, okay?

385

Just focus on my voice.

386

Ethan tilted his head slightly, like he was trying to place the sound.

387

You're stronger than this.

388

Whatever's got a hold on you, it doesn't control you.

389

You're Ethan, the guy who trips over air and somehow still looks cool doing it.

390

You're not a puppet.

391

Fight it!

392

For a moment, nothing happened.

393

Then slowly, he turned his head to look at me.

394

Kara?

395

It's me.

396

I've got you.

397

I won't let go, I promise.

398

Finally, he reached out, and the moment our hands touched, I yanked him away from the edge with all my strength.

399

But I fell, hit my head, and blacked out.

400

And when I woke up, I was in Ethan's room.

401

What happened?

402

You hit your head.

403

Kara, I don't know how to thank you.

404

If you hadn't come, I don't think I'd still be here.

405

Could think I showed up then.

406

There's also something else you should know.

407

Ethan reached into his pocket and pulled out my necklace.

408

The chain was snapped, and the strange pendant was cracked right down the middle.

409

I found it next to you after you fell.

410

Oh no, it was the one thing that still connected me to my mom.

411

I'm so sorry, Kara.

412

I'm sorry that I dragged you into this mess.

413

It wasn't your battle to fight.

414

In fact, there's something you should know.

415

And Ethan told me that he wasn't actually possessed, but had a rare psychological disorder that caused blackouts and hallucinations.

416

It started when he was a kid, but it went away.

417

We thought it was fine until these past few months.

418

He started having these episodes.

419

His dad's political campaign, the pressure, moving into this old place with all its creepy stories.

420

It must have triggered it again.

421

And we tried to keep him safe, secured the entire place, but we failed.

422

My parents didn't tell me this because they thought I might freak out and maybe the condition will worsen.

423

But what's worse than jumping off a roof?

424

Sorry, bad time to joke.

425

But the bottom line is that I'm truly sorry for everything I've put you through.

426

And I'd really love it if we could be friends.

427

Ethan was still talking when my phone buzzed.

428

It was Aunt Jessie.

429

And she told me that

430

Mom was finally awake.

431

I told Ethan, and he immediately offered to take me to the hospital.

432

As soon as we reached the hospital, I rushed into Mom's room and held her tight.

433

Oh, thank God.

434

I was so scared I'd never get to see you again.

435

Oh, my sweet girl, I missed you too.

436

And I've got to say this, you've been so brave.

437

But Mom, I messed up.

438

I broke the necklace.

439

Well, you kind of did me a favor there.

440

Mom's eyes drifted to the broken necklace, and she told me that it wasn't just some souvenir, but an ancient relic designed to imprison souls.

441

I studied it thinking it would confirm our family's history with witchcraft.

442

I thought if I could connect my spirit to it, I'd gain the wisdom I'd been seeking.

443

Instead, the necklace trapped me.

444

My body stayed here in a coma, but my spirit was locked inside.

445

But when it broke, it lost its hold.

446

My soul was released and returned to my body.

447

So you were in this necklace all this time?

448

In a way, yes.

449

I've been watching you.

450

And you've been so brave, Kara.

451

Although I got a bit freaked out when I saw you walking towards that red door.

452

Wait, you know about the red door?

453

How?

454

I never told anyone about that vision.

455

I know because I was there.

456

That scream you heard was mine.

457

And it wasn't a vision, Kara.

458

The necklace was messing with your head.

459

It feeds off your fears and uncertainty.

460

And when it sensed your confusion about Ethan's haunting, it created the image of a ghost to prey on your emotions.

461

It was all a trick to get you to walk through that red door willingly.

462

And if you had, you'd be trapped just like I was.

463

So you mean everything I saw in my visions was my imagination?

464

But what about the stuff that came true?

465

The necklace has this strange power of showing you bits and pieces of the future, but never the full picture.

466

It keeps you curious, making you rely on it to guide you.

467

That's how it earns your trust and manipulates you.

468

I think I'm gonna lose my mind.

469

No, you won't, because I will never let this happen again.

470

I'm done with these studies, Kara.

471

I lost sight of what matters and nearly lost everything.

472

I think I want to focus on my family again.

473

I'd love that too, Mom.

474

Great!

475

Now that you're both reunited, maybe we can talk about my Bora Bora trip?

476

No?

477

Fine, I'll just sit here quietly.

478

We all laughed, and it felt like a new chapter had begun.

479

The necklace was gone, Mom was awake, and back with me. And as for Ethan...

480

Well, he's still clumsy as ever.

481

But at least he's taking therapy so he won't roll off another building and blame it on a ghost.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
