Just another ghost-story

Fly high

As soon as I became visible, the pirate screamed and took a very direct jump off of the little platform. I looked down. He had mushed two other pirates. Well great... Are all of the pirates either scared of me or angry at me? I just want someone I can be normal around! Not this power cool but my normal derp. Sighing, I lay down and looked up at the sky. The stars were there, shining bright in the night.
Unterneath the lookout, I heard that Killer was there to solve the commotion. Positioning my hands behind my head, I closed my eyes. I wish, I could sleep. Just skip a few hours, feel alive, fresh and new. Another sigh escaped my lips. I felt a light tug as someone climbed up the net. I stayed here, just the way I was, laying on my back, hands behind my head, one leg slightly angled, eyes closed. Someone reached me and sat in front of me, not saying anything, just observing. I opened my eyes, still looking up. "How may I help you?", my voice was a whisper. "Why did you stay? Why do you annoy the Captain?" I groaned and put my hands in front of my face. "I don't mean to... It just happens when someone is aggressive towards me... I change somehow." I rubbed my eyes. Then I turned my head towards him, a shy smile on my lips. "Hey, Killer."

"Hello, Lilia.", he replied with a softness I didn't expect. Maybe he knew what it felt like. "I understand that he is shocked and maybe a little fed up with me but does he need to try and choke me?", I sulked a little, chewing on my lower lip. Killer just shrugged and looked out on the ocean. Or what could be seen, it was pretty dark. "That's just the way he is. You can't really change him. He is what he is." I sat up. "Do you really think that way? I bet he can be different. You just need to find the trigger." Killer chuckled. "You know... Many girls have tried to change him. To no effect. He just threw them out."

Now it was my time to laugh a dark laugh. "Well he can't really kick me out, can he?" Killer shifted uncomfortably. "I really don't want to know how he'd react." I lay back down. "Well... I'd probably mess up big time. I'll just stay here as long as I need to, then leave.", I got to my feet and floated up a little. Killer turned his mask towards me. "You can fly?" I shrugged. "I'm a Poltergeist, a ghost who can move stuff telepathicaly, become invisible, move trough objects and stuff..." Killer nodded. He would tell Kid, I was sure of that. I floated even higher, into the night.

Up and over the ship, higher and higher until it was only a spec in the water. I stopped here, letting the breeze ruffle my hair and tug on my clothes. Then, I stopped floating and fell. The wind bit into my face, made my eyes water so I made myself go-through. The wind rushed through me, my mouth open, screaming the joy I felt into the world. In moments like this, I almost felt alive.
