You're So Creepy ~A Ghost Town Story~

~Sorrow and second chances~

~Sky's point of view ~
After hours of crying and worry I decide I have to do something, I mean I just killed my friend, I'd be in a shit load of trouble,so out of total panic I did the only thing I could think of, I drug Iris' cold body to the basement. I walk back upstairs and I get my giant, conveniently empty freezer and I drag it down to the basement. I open the freezer and I pick up Iris, and I lay her gently into the freezer, no one could know this happened.... I'll find a way to fix it. I close the freezer and I push it into a dark corner where I plug it in. "There." I sigh in relief, "Now," I mumble, "I have to go clean up." I take a last look at the freezer and I head back upstairs.

~Back to Iris~
I feel empty inside. But I don't feel quite.... Dead, I guess. I open my eyes to see what seems like endless darkness, fog covers the floor as I stand. "Where am I?" I ask into the darkness. "You, child, are in the area between life and death." A voice replies. "Who are you?" I ask. "Your ticket to your second chance." It replies. I look around, my hair falls in my eyes. "So this is like some sort of afterlife?" I ask, tilting my head. "I guess you could say so.... This is where people who deserve a second chance come. I know you want revenge." The voice replies. "I don't want revenge..." I say, walking forward. "I'll give you two choices." It says. I nod, "go on." I say. Two lights appear, one is black, the other white. "The white light will allow you to fully pass on into the next life, now that sounds well but I can't predict where you'd end up that way." The voice says, with what sounds like worry in its tone. "And the black light?" I ask, curiously. "The black light will allow you to return to earth, but you'll permanently be changed...." By now I'm confused, none of this made sense, I was just killed, why do I have this choice? "What do you mean... Permanently changed?" I ask, my eyes on the black light. "I can only send you back in the form of a ghost or a demon of some sort." The voice replies. "With abilities?" I ask. "Wellllllll, yes and no, you see I can only keep you alive on earth for about a month or two, at the most. The only thing that can allow you to stay on earth with this form is love." I look up. "Love? You're joking, right? Tell me you're joking...." I say, worried. How would I find love? "I'm not joking," the voice replies, "Love is the only power that can allow you to keep your form, hell you could just get a kiss from someone that liked you and then dump them." The offer is quite tempting and I do like the idea of seeing my friend again, even if she did kill me. I nod, "then my choice is made." I walk into the black light and in a flash everything disappears.

When I next open my eyes I'm in Sky's basement, standing by... Her freezer? I shake my head, I never really understood these kind of things. A mirror hangs on the wall across from me, I look over and I'm taken aback. I walk towards the mirror. My skin is pale, my hair extremely long and it has stripes of blue and orange through its normally black color, and my eyes, they seem to almost glow orange. "Cool." I say. I have to tell Sky. I run upstairs quickly and I see her on the ground in the kitchen, cleaning up the last of my blood.... "Sky...." I say quietly. She looks at me and screams. "Oh my god! I-Iris.... Is that you?" I nod. "Yes... Last time I checked." Sky tackles me with a hug and I stumble back before hugging back, "well, I can see I was missed." She punches me hard in the arm. "Ow-!" "I thought you were dead! You scared the shit out of me." She yells, coming back and crossing her arms. "Technically, I was dead. I guess you could consider me undead now...." She covers her mouth, "how was the afterlife??" She asks, her voice muffled by her hands. "Empty... Dark, well I was in the area between life and death, technically." I say. "Oh my god I'm soooooooooo happy you're alive!" She says, going to hug me again, I hold out my hand, stopping her. "N-not quite." I say, she looks at me confused and she steps back. "What do you mean....?" I try to explain to Sky everything that had happened. "I see.... So its like a true loves kiss thing?" She asks. I nod, "Yeah, and if I don't find love within the next two months, maximum I'll be dead again, and there'll be no coming back." I reply. "Then we need to find you true love.... And fast, and I have a few ideas." She says, smirking. "Well then, what are we waiting for? Come on!" She grabs my wrist. "N-not yet! We have to wait. At least until this weekend." She says. "Why?" I ask, curiously. "We just do, OK? Ok." She says, letting go of my wrist, "until then, we'll just have a line up of boys and if that doesn't work, I'm positive that Saturday will be much better." I sigh quietly, "fine, fine, I can't believe I'm trusting you with my life." I say. "Hey we are close friends after all." "Good point."

~time skip to Friday brought to you by a delicious plate of bus nachos ~
After almost an entire week of looking for true loves kiss, I just give up, plopping down on Sky's couch. "It's useless! I'm as good as dead again." I groan. "Come on, Iris, where is that never say die attitude!?" Sky asks sitting down by me. "Dead, like me, remember?" I ask. She looks down,"I already feel bad enough as it is, don't make it any worse." I sigh, "look I'm sorry, I'm just really irritated, we only have a month or two and after that I'll just be dead again." I say. Sky looks up, "We still have time, all we have to do is find a nice guy, give it a few weeks and boom, so now, who are the nicest people you know that you want to know better?" She asks. I look up, I couldn't possibly know who she was- ohhhhhhhh......
"Ghost Town. "
"Bingo, my friend. "
