Welcome back for the other chapter!
———————————————————————
"Don't you dare touch red!" Keith said as he lunged at the witch, the witch snapped her fingers and a rope wrapped around Keith and his neck" It began to tighten slowly Keith chocked and could hardly breathe he tried to reach out for red.
The witch laughed at the sight "A young man trying to save a mere cat how amusing!" She giggled, Keith tried to reach his arm out more and more, but the rope tightened and tightens till he couldn't breathe anymore.
Keith cried at the thought of loosing red
"If I die here I will be alone for ever! I swere curse this day!"
The witch continued to laugh "my dear boy I'll give you this one chance on the night of every Halloween if you can find a person worth loving and kiss him at 12:00 you may live on again, but you will be immortal, hmm I shall add another catch if you become immortal on that day your blood will be key to your happiness unless you lead astray then I'm afraid you will have to keep wondering the earth forever alone, of course I or someone powerful will come to hunt you down and lock you to your grave"
The witches laughed more and more until her spell casted as a curse
Red watched in horror and attacks the witch, the witch pierced red with a spear of her magic, and he fell, Keith cried out he was angered now he cut the rope with his pocket knife he ran up to stab the witch only for her to stab him at the same time he missed the witch in his horror he fell to the ground right next to red.
His eyes watered in horror and sadness he spoke with a harsh soft voice" my dear red I don't know if I will ever be able to love another being just like I love you, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you my dearest red"
Keith choked up blood, and slowly he took his breath.
Keith was no longer alive, red was now a spirit along with Keith they walked together looking for one who could be loved by Keith and who could bring him back from his misery.
Every Halloween night, Keith would search and search as the witches cursed words echoed through his head only to be dragged back. I do wonder if Keith will ever find love, or if he will only suffer and suffer as he watches his new friends die without him.
This curse has still been going on for more than a hundred years, it is said the Keith walks along his old school grounds searching for someone to be able to hear and see him. But now begins a day when he may have the best chance, if you stay and read with me, we can watch what happened to Keith together.

"So Teach, your telling me that this boy is still wondering the earth a hundred years later?" A boy in the back asked, nodded her head.
"Yes indeed, he's still searching for someone who he can love like he loved his cat red"
She answered with a sadden gaze
To wonder for 100 years, I wonder how lonely he must feel
I was thinking to myself the bell rang for lunch I looked over to my two best friends pidge, hunk and smiled, we took our lunch boxes and went to the roof the same spot as the boy did, I felt sadden that he suffered that way.
Pidge tapped me on the shoulder "are you alright lance, are you thinking about that boy?"
I nodded she sighed and smiled "DON'T worry you and blue won't turn out the same way, I mean you have friends we're not in the early 19th centuries were in 2019, it happens so long ago I'm sure the curse is gone"
She tried to assure me, as I thought about it, I hoped he found someone, I suddenly came up with an idea
"Why don't we go visit his grave at the old Altean grave sight"
Pidge sighed but agreed, hunk nervously agreed as well "if you think that will help you then sure lance"
He spoke while he ate
"Then it's agreed"
Once school was out we grabbed the things we would need it was a week before Halloween, so we should be safe, I thought as we headed over to the grave sight, it took some time, but then we found it the surrounding graves were clean and had flowers but his, his was dirty and covered in vines no flower in sight.
Kneeled down to the grave and laid my flower on it for him. The wind started to speed up around me and the others, along with the grave. The wind suddenly stopped and I heard a voice singing
"Remove this pain inside me let it go once and set me free, let me not feel lonely displaced or lost remove it now I have paid the cost for a thousand years or more I've toned this weathered yard of graves and moss, oh set me free as my darling may be whether male or female I shalt not care let the moon gaze upon me like it gazed open the past I wish and wish for love to bring thay back."
My mouth dropped as I looked up a boy in an old witch costume sat upon the grave "ar-are you Keith kogane!?"
I asked he turned his head slowly and looked at me his glowing purple eyes shined and smiled with sadness "I am but how does thay able to see me?! It not Halloween yet, right?"
I nodded he sighed but smiled he floated over to me and grabbed my hands, " It doesn't matter as long as you can see me, maybe you're the one my string of fate is tied to?" He asked, I pushed out that thought and asked him a question.
"Is your story true?" Keith nodded sadly "I'm sad to say so, but yes, it is, I've been stuck wondering this town for more than hundred years while I'll still look for my fated one"
felt bad I wish I could hug him and tell him how much we understand, but he is a spirit which I cannot touch
"What is your name? You seem around the age I died" he asked I spoke "sadly I am your age when you passed, and I am a lot like you as well, I have a cat named blue who I care for dearly, but I have friends and to forget my name is lance, lance McClain I said to him as he looked down with sorrow filled eyes
"A family and friends a spirit can wish for what you have that I could not" Lance sighed, but then he remembered something he had a ring and an amulet that maybe he could seal Keith in, so he wouldn't be lonely anymore
As I looked at Keith and his clothing it was ancient style, and it looked like he died with torn
Cloths. Certainly, not that comfortable to be hurried in
"Keith, what if I told you I may be able to keep you with me. Without you have to return when Halloween is ends back to your grave" He smiled at the thought "it sounds impressive, but there are two things wrong with that, one How would you keep me with you? Do you have anything that could bind me to you?,2? We just met, even though I'm willing to give it a try "
I smiled and asked pidge for the ring and amulet,
She sighed and handed it over, "A red ring and a red amulet?" I nodded, "you can choose which you would prefer "
His eyes widen, but he relaxed in understanding, I know this may be difficult, but I feel like I shouldn't lose him and this chance. Keith chose the ring "not to assume, but are they both red because of my cat's name and my clothing I used to wear?" He asked, I shook my head no as I told him it was only a coincidence
As pidge and hunk were still in shock I spoke to Keith more, I asked him to fallow me, and we will go to my home
He nodded and warned me that someone has tried this before only to fail though
I told him not to worry and that I wouldn't give up and let him be taken by the witch
As the four of us walked and floated to my house Keith and I asked each other questions it helped us get to know each other more. Apparently, Keith has had many people truck him into him thinking they were the one, only for them to find the richest grave here to rob it.
And since his grave is never visited he would watch children grow as they cane to visit their loved ones each day, months, or even years when by and no one even after hearing his story came to visit him unless it was to fall in love.
