We met for a reason | Ghost fanfiction

"What the hell?" I heard Sister say. I opened my eyes and to my terror, I was still sitting next to Terzo's body. I quickly looked around me, only to notice all of my friends gone. I was the only one there. "Why am I here?!" I sobbed. "I have no idea." Sister said in disbelief. "What do you mean?! Why am I here and everyone else is gone?" I cried. Sister looked at me with an annoyed look and started to chant again, only to fail all over again.

"Why doesn't it work?" I cried. "You killed him?" Sister stated. "N-No-" I sobbed. "That's the only reason I can think of that you're still here." She snapped. "I didn't" I cried, bringing my knees against my chest, my tail wrapping comfortably around my waist.. "Stop being emotional. Go in your room ghoulette." Sister said annoyedly. "No please, just send me back with others. Please." I cried. "Go in your room." She said again. "P-Please." I whispered. "NOW" Sister screamed. I looked at her eyes. She looked so mad. She has never liked me, but now she looked like she hated me.

I placed my head back against my knees and started to cry. I could hear Sister huff and leave the room. I moved closer to Terzo and wrapped my hands around his upper body. His skin was ice cold. "I'm so sorry Terzo." I sobbed. "I should've come earlier, I could've saved you. I'm going to miss you Terzo" I cried. "Take her to her room, I'll clean up here." I heard Sister say. "NO." I screamed. I could feel two sisters grab me from my armpits and start to drag me away from him. I screamed as loud as I could, I couldn't leave him. I tried to hold on to him as long as I could, but my grip slipped and I was dragged out of the room.

That was the last time I saw him. Sister looked after us and closed the door after we left. The two sisters dragged me to my room and tossed me in, locking the door after them. I ran to the door and punched it with my fists. "LET ME OUT!" I screamed, crying hysterically. I kept screaming and punching and kicking the door with all the strength I got, but it wouldn't budge. I leaned my back against my door and slid down to the ground. I lifted my hands to my face and screamed. I felt so bad. My whole world had just fallen apart. I lost my family, I lost my friends, I lost everything. I was all alone.

Two months have passed since Terzo's passing. In the last few months I've left my room only to get something to eat. I tried to explain Sister what had happened, but she wouldn't even listen to me. For some reason she hates me, she doesn't want anything to do with me. She has been trying everything to cast me back to hell, but nothing is working. I've been really struggling since Terzo passed. I have returned to some bad habits that Terzo and I worked hard to get rid off. I feel so lonely here without him or without my friends.

-"Wait up! I'm not that fast!" I laughed, while running after Terzo. "It must suck being so slow." Terzo laughed, running ahead of me. We had a Ritual the next day, but Terzo assured me to come visit the town before going to sleep. He wanted me to taste what he said was the best ice cream he'd ever had, but the second we got outside he started to run. "I'm gonna turn back if you don't stop now!" I yelled. "Fine, fine." He laughed, slowing down his pace. "Is it still a long way?" I asked. "No, it's just around the corner." He smiled and reached his hand for me to take. I smiled him back and was about to take his hand, but right before I touched him I felt like I fell through the ground into the void.-

I gasped and opened my eyes. It was just another bad dream, or a good dream? I don't know. At least I got to see him again, even if it's just for a while. I tried to even my breathing, but it felt like there was an elephant sitting on my chest, it was so hard to breathe. Tears started to stream down my face. I missed him so much, I miss everyone. I got up from my bed and headed towards my bathroom. There was only one thing that helped.

I quickly stripped off my clothes and grabbed the thin blade from my bathroom drawer. I turned on the shower and sat down on the floor with the blade in my hand. The warm water tickled on my skin. I lowered the blade against the already cut and scarred skin. I pressed the blade against my skin and made a cut. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back against the wall, trying to take a deep breath in. I made another cut, wishing I wouldn't feel as shit anymore. But of course I feel shit, I feel shit all the time, but I just wanted to be able to breathe again.

I dropped the blade down on the ground and looked at my arms. I hate what I have done to myself, but at this point what does it matter?

*tw ends*

I've already lost everything. I have nothing. I have nothing here, Sister doesn't even allow me to go to the band room. She says that I don't have to be playing guitar anymore since I'm not in the band anymore. I don't even know if that is a real reason or if she just hates me. But anyway I don't know if I even wanna go there anymore. There are so many memories. Too many memories.

The warm water stung on the fresh cuts, but at least I felt something else than sadness or anger. I let out a deep sigh and stood up from the ground. I don't know how long I sat there, but what does it matter? For me every single day is the same. I dried myself with a towel and put on some college shirt and sweats. I looked at myself from the steamy mirror. My wet blonde, wavy hair rested on my shoulders. My face looked tired. I don't know how, since all I do is sleep. My clothes looked oversized over me even though it hasn't been long since they fit me just fine. I'm drowning and this time Terzo isn't here to help me stay on the surface.

I let out a deep breath and headed back to my room. I walked to my drawer where I usually keep some snacks, so I wouldn't have to leave my room. To my disappointment, my drawer was empty, which meant that I had to go visit the kitchen. I let out a deep sigh and headed towards my door. Before opening the door I pressed my ear against the wooden door to listen if anybody was in the hallway. When I couldn't hear anyone I opened the door and peeked into the hallway. When I couldn't see anyone I stepped into the hallway and closed the door behind me. I opened the door to the common room and walked in, leaving the door slightly open after me.

As I was gathering food from the cabin I heard two sets of footsteps going past the common room. I finished taking the food and headed back to the door, making sure the two people were already gone. I headed towards my room and just as I got to my door I saw two people walking towards me in the hallway. The other one was Sister Imperator and when I turned to look at the other one I froze. Satan, he looked just like Terzo, but still, not quite. I entered my room as fast as I could, maybe they didn't see me.

"Who was that?" Copia asked. "Oh, her? It was Isla, don't mind her. She was one of your brother's ghouls and for some reason I haven't been able to cast her back with others." Sister says. "Oh, why wasn't she able to go back?" Copia asked. "I have no idea, I've tried everything. Personally I think she had something to do with Terzo's death and that's why she can't be casted. I've been trying to ask her what happened, but she keeps telling me excuses. But just as I said, she won't be an issue, she mostly stays in her room." Sister says. "That must be hard." Copia sighs. "What?" Sister asked. "Losing her friends and Papa." Copia answered. "Plaah, I don't think so. I don't think she was even close with any of them." Sister says. "Could I maybe talk to her?" Copia asked. "What? Why?" Sister asked. "I like to make my own opinion about people." Copia said. "Well, go ahead. Just come tell me if she doesn't behave." Sister said and continued her way.
