Elizabeth POV

Year: 1814

The last thing I remembered, I was lying on the ground, with a dagger at my womb, laying in his arms and feeling the unbearable pain fading away leaving my body lifeless. His arms and tears that leaks endlessly from his face I can no longer feel his touch, his face and the world I cannot see, but his sobs and cries I can hear. My lips try to tell him to stop crying but, the life of my body left before I could have told him. My last words...were never said...

Well it's been two whole centuries. Times have really changed, and being a ghost, you can see where society is now. I've never experienced anything, just only watching, it gets pretty boring. That's why there is something we ghosts call 'haunting' .
Trust me it's as fun as it gets, till they bring up the priest thing. Oh, this one time I haunted a family that never believed in the supernatural, and when I walked inside the parents' room, they were sleeping so peacefully, and all of a sudden I burst into the loudest scream I could get myself to do. Then all of a sudden I heard some kind of high pitched girly scream. Oh boy! That was awesome! Also funny, because it was the dad that screamed in fear! Ha!
Some ghosts haunt cause they want revenge or because they can't let their problems go. Others, like moi, do it for fun.
It really gets lonely and feels like that spark in you is missing.
I wish I could talk to people, NOT to ghost people.
Like last week I talked to a man that died in the frozen water when his ship sank, I think the name of the ship was titanic or something- can-it. He kept on telling me that his heart will go on for a Rose. It's funny because he's dead and doesn't have a heart but also boring because he keeps asking me if I'd seen a girl name Rose. So I got fed up and shouted, " Look! There's Rose! She's in the rose garden!" Oh that was hilarious! But he'll probably hate me forever now. I don't mind, I myself, hate him.

Of all the others ghosts I met, I think I'm the only one who knows how people operate in this generation. Some ghosts think that they can still marry when they're twelve, and I look like I'm 21 but I'm actually 2021, so those old folk ask me constantly if I'm married. The answer by the way is NO. Also, no matter how many times you explain phones, cars, music, school, language and modern clothes they will never understand! Like Beethoven, for example, he hates One Direction. Ugh. OLD PEOPLE! They TICK me off! All of these new stuff looks awesome to me, I wish I could try out these. I'm sure if I was human I could know what to do and fit in. I'll never fit into the ghost world. I'm just so different.
I wish I could be like one of the G.U.A. (Ghost Undercover Agents). If you have no idea who they are, you ARE missing out. They're the most awesome and coolest people in the world! They are disguised as humans, other humans can see them, they can smell and taste and touch! I mean, to me that's cool, and they can live in the mortal world till they die again. Also, they kill bad ghosts, like really evil ones. It's not easy to be one of the GUAs, the Underworld Council only chooses a special person every 50 years. They choose them under special rules:
Rule. 1. The ghost must look young and died more than 1 century ago.
Rule. 2. They must be vigilant and aware of the new place and have full understanding.
Rule. 3. They died of an unnatural cause.
I'm young and lived more than a century in the ghost world, I'm aware of this new stuff, but I can't remember how I died. I guess two out of three? Maybe the council will choose me. Nah. Maybe not, I shouldn't get my hopes high just to bring me down in the end.
Anyways the choosing ceremony is next week Friday, the 13th, under an eclipse. I don't know who it's going to be. No one knows. Whoever it's going to be they are going to be pretty lucky.
