Ghosts don't exist

(Ik heb dit verhaal kort geleden geschreven voor Engels. Normaal gesproken schrijf ik nooit in het Engels, wat ook de reden is dat dit verhaal hoogstwaarschijnlijk niet op Wattpad gaat komen, aangezien in het Engels mijn schrijfstijl honderd keer slechter is omdat ik gewoon echt HEEL slecht ben in Engels. Maar in ieder geval, het was een Halloween story. En alleen de proloog vond ik genoeg om te publiceren. Maar, omdat het verhaal anders niet echt te volgen is, heb ik ook even het idee voor het verhaal zelf erbij gezet. Oké, dat was wel genoeg voortekst. Oké, doei. ~ Iris)

Het idee

Every hundred years, the night god Astro chooses two children, a boy, and a girl, who become children of the night. They have to do many important things, like keep the stars shining and let the moon come to the sky. Mostly, they don't know they're doing these things. But sometimes, they discover they're not like regular people. And after they told their friends about it, their friends also wanted to become a child of the night, even if they do not know what it means.But after a while, being a child of the night became a curse. The day goddess Dana cursed Astro's children after he broke her heart and tried to overtake her empire. Their curse was the fact that they never became older than 20 because she lured them into a spooky house with a monster named Moon Ghost.But because she still loved Astro, she told him the children of the night who are born in the next thousand years could break the curse.

When you hear about Zoanna Yue Swan, you won't think she's special. When you see her, you would call her a nerd, maybe ugly. She wouldn't be your first choice of a friend.
Zoanna hates her own body. It's like nothing goes right in her life, she's always unlucky. No-one ever liked her. Everywhere she goes, she gets bullied. And the people who don't, acted like she didn't exist.
But she's more powerful then every single mortal who ever lived on earth, even if she doesn't know her own power.

But, as you maybe know, power comes with a price. And the price of having the power to defeat a monster that's almost impossible to kill is high. Very high.

De proloog:

Maybe you know the moment when you run out of luck. The moment when everything you want to do goes wrong, and you have no idea why. The moment when you are afraid and also sure you will fail.
Some people experience this more than others. And really, really a few percentage of people have this moment all the time. They're never lucky. In their lives, nothing goes right. But some rumors say that those people can do miraculous things other people never can.

Zoanna Yue Swan is one of those people. When she went to school, she got bullied. Everyone let her know she was too different, too crazy to be one of them. They spoke about her, everyone knew her, but not in a good way. She felt treated like paper: people used her, and after that, she got thrown away. On school, she learned how to speak, read and write. After that, she didn't want to go to school anymore.
On her tenth birthday, her parents died for an unknown reason. They were just gone. A weird thing about this issue is that no-one seemed to remember them. Like they just vanished from the world. But they also didn't seem to remember her. They acted like she was glass: touchable, existing, but transparent and not too important. She got more and more secretive until she just locked herself in her and her parents' house.
And that was on her fifteenth birthday. The moment where it all started.
