Just another ghost-story

Well hello there...

When I was outside, my body drifted upwards, higher and higher above the rooftops. There I stopped and admired the view. It was in the middle of the night, a few snowflakes danced in the breeze. The City under me looked silent and peaceful. A wonderful snow oasis. A smile tugged at my lips and I sped up, floating through the breeze as if I was a snowflake myself. Over the market, dancing towards the pier, where the wind picked up its pace.

Flying out on the open ocean, leaving the lights behind me, I spotted a ship in the darkness. It was rather big, sailing around the shore, trying to avoid being spotted. I flew closer, checking out what I was able to see in the darkness. It was a pirate ship, I noticed. I couldn't make out what the Jolly Roger looked like but I swiftly landed on the main deck. My invisibility was pretty useful as I couldn't be spotted. With a move of my hand, a door flew open. Loud laughter could be heared and I wondered once more who this ship belonged to.

I walked in, closing the door behind me with a gaze. Pirate ships were nothing new to me, I had hid on a few before to change my homepoint. Following the sound of laughter, I finally found them. And I recognized the Captain. I swore heavily on the inside, my inner Chaos causing a few tables to flip, glasses to spill and pirates to crush into the cieling. It went dead quiet. The, mostly drunk, pirates drew their swords and stared at the door (open). Well shit. I lifted my hands and took a few steps back. "Sorry." I forgot that I was invisible. The pirates heads flew to where my voice came from. "Who's there?", the red haired Captain asked. I clamped my hands over my mouth before I could say anything stupid. "Show yourself!", he roared. "No thank you.", I blurted out, then punched myself for speaking. The Captain, Kid, as you probably know by now, snarled in my direction. "Who are you, brat?", he barked. I took a deep breath. "I'm noone.", my whisper was barely audible. "Well then, noone, how about you show yourself so that I can see you?" I snickered. "Now why would I do that? You'd most likely try to kill me. Not that you could. I tried. Believe me." "Do you want to tell me your real name at least?", his voice still vicious. Silence. Then... "Lilia." "Well then, Lilia. Why don't you leave the ship and go back where you came from?" I shook my head. Damn, I was still invisible. With a loud sigh, I became visible. Hands tucked into the pockets of my green jumsuit, eyes staring at him. He looked so interesting.

"Looks like it's not just a little brat but a lady. Boys, we should behave.", Kid laughed, soon joined by the others. They may be dangerous pirates but not to me. They couldn't kill me, I was already dead. They couldn't even touch me if I didn't want them to. Kid walked lazily towards me. I stood there, chin high, meeting his glare. He would try to choke me, grab me by the neck and hold me high. Well, he could try... I made myself touchable. As I thought, he went straight for my throat, lifting me up. He met my bored eyes. Nothing happened. I could feel the pressure against my neck but no pain. I didn't need air anyways. "You done?", I sneered and fell through his hand back onto the ground.
