Kyla, the Ghost Hunter

Forbidden Love

I still wonder what Jack meant when he told me to stay away from Karl. I don't see any possible reason. Unless… he's jealous?

It's a Sunday today. A great day to get away from that annoying Prince Karl. After doing my chores at home, I went to the mansion alone. By the way, that mansion supposed to be my home.

"Hi Jack." I said merrily.

"Welcome back, my lady. You said you had some questions? About what?" He asked.

"There are a lot, actually", I said. "First, I want to know why."

"Why?" he asked.

"Why did you kiss me the other day? You haven't told me yet." I said.

"Oh, is that why?" He said and laughed. "Simply because you look like your mother."

I can say that Jack isn't a good liar as well. Its so obvious by the way he laughs. Okay, I must not play Ms. Goodie-goodie this time.

"Tell me the truth", I grinned.

"You really want to know the truth?" He said with a serious tone.

I got nervous at that point. It's like I already know the answer to my question. I am afraid to know the answer but I have this undying desire of hearing the answer from his mouth. I want to hear from Jack himself, that he loves me for me, and not because I am the daughter of Katherine.

He suddenly pushed me to the wall and gave me a fierce look in the eye. (Girls, you get the picture, right? It's scary but I was screaming like a fan-girl inside me.) He got closer to me that I closed my eyes, waiting for him to kiss me or something. Until…

"I just love you, that's all", he whispered in my ear.

I slowly opened my eyes and looked at him. He was smiling again to me. Such a heart-melting smile from a ghost like him.

"How?" I asked.

"It just happened, I don't know." He said while he was floating a bit away from me.

"But.." I said yet he cut my line saying,

"I know it's wrong. May Lady Katherine forgive me…" he said with a trembling voice. I think he was about to cry. He turned his back on me.

"I...feel the same way", I said, that made him look at me again.

It was like a repetition of the past, but in a new perspective. There are no rivals between us. Jack and I shared the same feeling. Yet, it is still a forbidden love.

A love between the ghost…
