The Curse Of True Love's Kiss

10

People manage to see me and Giles and they start chasing us.

"Faster! Faster!" I shout to Giles.

Giles tries but gets tired, so I take out a carrot and give him it to eat. He suddenly gets a boost of energy and manages to catch up with his normal speed.

Giles gets too fast for the people to catch up with.

"Aha!" I shout. "Giles, you done it! We've lost them! Aha!"

Giles goes even faster. I start laughing loudly. "No one can catch us now! We're a great team!"

We go to a spot where I've never been before. I slow Giles down until he comes to a stop. I jump off him and give him a hug.

"Here's a few more carrots to keep you busy," I say. I put carrots down on the ground in front of him and he starts munching away at them.

"That'll keep you going for a while," I tell him.

I look up and see Oscar. I jump out of my skin. "Oscar? Is that really you?"

"Lizzie, I'm sorry," he says.

"What's wrong?"

"You know how I told you about Satan?"

"Yeah?"

"You've already met him."

"No!" I gasp.

He nods and hangs his head.

"Where? When? How? What? Why?...."

"Where? I'm not sure, it could have been the woods. When? The last time you claimed you saw me, but it actually wasn't me. What? A ghost, Satan. Why? He tricked you. How? Let me explain," Oscar begins. "I'm not really meant to tell you the curse of True Love's Kiss but I'm going to anyway..."

"I'm listening," I interrupt.

"Ok, well the curse of True Love's Kiss begins donkey's years ago. Basically, there was a female that both me and Satan adored. But she was cheating on us with each other. Of course, neither of us knew. So we both kissed her on the lips. She disappeared and we became ghosts. I became the good ghost and Satan became the bad ghost. We can disguise ourselves as each other. Watch."

Oscar changed into Satan. I gasp. "Oh my god."

Oscar changed himself back to normal. "See?" he shrugged. "Satan disguises as me all the time. So be careful. But the real reason that I'm telling you this is because of the curse. For me and Satan to become human again, we need to kiss a human on the lips, but the human needs to be madly in love with us for it to work."

"Oh."

"And if I kissed let's say you for example, I would turn into a human again and you would just stay the same. But if you and Satan kissed, he would turn human, then you would turn evil."

I gasp.

"Yeah."

"But I'm not attracted to Satan. So at least I won't turn evil."

"Ah, but you see that's the thing. Let's just say you were attracted to me, which you're not, but I'm saying if you were, then if Satan disguised himself to be me and kissed you, then it would work because you would think it was me and be attracted to him," Oscar explains.

"Oh," I frown.

"The other day, that wasn't me. This is me. I am Oscar," Oscar says.

"Yeah, I know. So you were the one that stopped Oscar, or should I say, Satan, from kissing me?"

Oscar nods.

"That's what I thought," I reply.

"So please, be careful."

"Ok. Oh and Oscar?"

"Yes?"

"Why can't I touch you but yet I touched Satan?"

"I'm not exactly sure on that one, I think it's because it was you who touched me. But Satan touched you, but don't quote me on that."

"Yeah."

Oscar looks round and looks into the distance for a good few seconds. I look back at Giles to see that all the carrots had gone.

"Here's more carrots, Giles," I hand him more carrots.

"I'll, I'll be back soon," Oscar tells me.

"Oh, ok," I tell him. Oscar floats away.

"It's ok, Giles. I'll be careful. I won't kiss Satan. I'm not stupid. I may be naive, but I'm not stupid. I'm not attracted to Satan, but I think I might be attracted to Oscar...."
