Things Unseen

Be Not Afraid of Casper

Your POV:

Laying in my bed after all of that happened you just couldn't process everything. How were you supposed to even begin to look past his horrible past. Not to mention the fact that he had lied to you and kept this all a huge secret. Did he really think that you wouldn't find out eventually? Was he ever going to tell you the truth? In the end the question that needed to be answered was...what were you going to do? A knock on the door threw you out of your thoughts, maybe that was for the best. "Come in."You said praying that it wasn't Tate, you did tell him to go away after all.

"It's just me, I feel it's time we met in person on an amicable level."Violet said upon opening the door. "I was Tate's most recent girlfriend, and well I had killed myself which is why I am stuck here too. He is really messed up and has done even more than you know. I bet he hasn't told you anything about his past, although I hear that you now know about why he died and what he did before that. What you don't know is this, he raped my mother and got her pregnant. She died during childbirth, then Hayden and a few others made it look like my dad had committed suicide. Besides that he had killed a few of the spirits that had lived in this house previously. Chad and Patrick were a gay couple that lived here but they were having problems."She explained.

"At one time they were going to have a baby, which Tate was going to steal for one of the other spirits who had acted like his mother growing up. When his mother wasn't verbally abusing him, she was physically abusing him. All she wanted was for him to be the perfect child, but he just wanted to be himself so their conflict drove him over the edge. So he impregnated my mother to get a child for the spirit named Nora. Alas it didn't work, the child lived and was taken from this house by his mother Constance. The other child died at birth and my mother is taking care of him. So not only did he rape my mother but he has a son. I didn't think I could get over it, but time has made me change my mind. So now I have to make sure you don't change yours."Violet said confusing you.

"What do you mean?"You asked with a baffled look on your face. The news that she had given you was breaking your heart even more. You had swore that you had found someone that you finally could give your all to. It was all just a front he put on to make you fall for him, you didn't even really know who he was anymore. "I can't believe that, how do I know you aren't lying to me right now because you want Tate to yourself. Even though you had a chance to have him before I ever got here, but it wasn't until then that you decided you had to have him again. You could be coming up with these crazy stories to get me to leave. Until I hear it from Tate I refuse to believe you Violet."You said scoffing, you were so sure that he couldn't be THAT bad.

"I was sure you would understand, but I prepared in case you didn't."Violet said pulling out a knife from behind her back. "I guess we have to do things the hard way. Now I just have to make it look like you killed yourself in grief, although I will have to do this quickly so I can get your body off the property before I finish you off. We don't need you sticking around that would just make things more complicated. Be a good girl and just let this happen, screaming won't get you anywhere."She said moving towards you.

"You think I am afraid of you Casper?"You said sitting up wishing that you had thought to put something to defend yourself with in your room. Sure you were still nursing cracked ribs and a broken arm, but you weren't going to go down without a fight.

"Well if you aren't you are clearly stupid, while I haven't killed before now I have no consequences here in the spirit realm."She said getting ready to strike. Quickly she took a jab at you but you used your cast to block it. Kicking her in the stomach you jumped up trying to run towards the door but she dug the knife into your calf causing you to scream out. "You think you can run from the dead? You dumb bitch!"She said grabbing you from behind pulling the knife out from your leg holding it up to your neck. Forcefully you reared back and headbutted her disorientating her for a moment as you leapt from her grasp.

"Tate!"You screamed loudly. "Please come!"You cried out, blood dripping down your leg as you hobbled out the door. Suddenly there was a searing pain in your shoulder as Violet twisted the knife in your shoulder. "GO AWAY VIOLET!"You tried to scream but she just laughed.

"VIOLET! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! GET OFF OF HER!"Tate cried out pushing her onto the floor quickly tending to you. "Oh god you are bleeding a lot. We need to get you downstairs, it's going to need stitches. The doctor can quickly get the bleeding to stop but you have to trust me. I'll take you down there."He said worriedly. "First things first."He said turning to Violet grabbing her by her hair. "If you ever fucking come near her again, you will regret the rest of your existence, you hear me?"He warned her before breaking her neck and dropping her to the floor. Of course being a spirit she didn't technically die again, but she wasn't moving for the time being. "Come on, let's go."He said softly picking you up bridal style heading towards the basement.

"She kept saying terrible things about you, saying you raped someone and got them pregnant and that you have a son next door being raised by your mother."You said shaking your head in disbelief looking up at him. "Tell me it's not true please Tate, tell me it's not true."You beg wanting to feel some sort of relief that he wasn't all bad.

"Listen [Y/N] I have done some terrible things, it's true okay but I was misguided and scared back then. Now I am trying so desperately hard to do the right things. I have gone through therapy, I know I can't change the past but I want to make a better future. I want so much for it to be with you, I can't take it back and I regret it every single moment that I exist. No one is controlling me anymore, no one is inside my head...only me. I meant it when I said that I would stay with you as long as you wanted me to. That's because you're all I want, you're all I have! All this shit that is happening to you is because of me, and I've been trying to keep you safe. I'm afraid of myself, but everything makes sense when I'm with you. I'm an entirely different person, a person that I actually like after spending so long hating myself. I have no right to ask for forgiveness but forgive me anyway?"He asked softly looking into your eyes.

"Tate I don't know if I can, I know you have saved my life so many times now it's ridiculous. I owe you so much but at the same time how am I supposed to forget what I have seen and heard? I'm willing to try and move past it, but we have to start over again from the beginning. I want to hear those words from your mouth, exactly what you did. Only then can we create something fresh and new, can you do that?"You asked not sure if you wanted it or not but you wanted to at least give it a chance. He set you down and the doctor began looking at your wounds placing a mask on your face to help with the impending pain you were about to be subjected to. You were a little loopy but you could still hear and see him standing over you like a mother hen.

"Alright [Y/N] for you I will do this okay? I set my mom's boyfriend on fire then shot up my school after an all night binger on cocaine, I then committed suicide by cop. While a ghost I killed two gay men who were married and living in this house because they were having trouble and debating on whether or not they were going to have a baby. I did it so a new family would move in and I would have another chance to get a baby for Nora Montgomery who throughout my life acted more like a mother to me than my own mother. I had sex with Violet's mother Vivien and while she believed that I was her husband in a latex suit, it was false pretenses so therefore it was rape. I got her pregnant, and then my mother took the baby after the rest of the family was deceased. Not only that but in the time that it took you to fall down the stairs I killed your father so that he could never hurt you or your mom again. I then bound his soul down here to a ball and chain so he could not come after you."He explained softly leaning down next to you. "And I am sorry for what I have done, and I never want to be that person again."

You reached over and grabbed his shirt pulling him towards you making your lips meet, you still didn't know if you could forgive him but for the first time he was honest with you. You could see in his eyes that he meant every word that he said, and that spoke volumes.
