Johnny Ghost, aged 7, was dreaming. But this dream wasn't normal. Something was...wrong. "Where am I?" he asked shaking with fear.

"In a dream of course!" a boy's voice behind Johnny said, sounding familiar to his ears. He thought he knew it, but it was high-pitched and insane. Johnny spun around, and his jaw dropped.

"Something wrong Ghostie?" the boy laughed. Instead of answering Johnny stared, amazed and terrified. The boy looked just like him! He had the same slightly shaggy brown hair, only messier, and instead of Johnny's bright blue eyes, he had deep scarlet eyes staring out of a pale face. His smile, it was terrifying, too wide to be natural, full of joy brought on by other's pain.

"W-who are you?" Johnny asked, still quaking with fear.

"Me?" the boy asked, laughing insanely, "I'm Jimmy Casket, your dark side and worst nightmare!" Jimmy cackled with delight at Johnny's horrified expression.

Under the knife I surrendered
The innocence yours to consume
You cut it away
And you filled me up with hate

"You're lying!" Johnny yelled, squeezing his eyes shut, "This is a nightmare, and I'm gonna wake up!"

"Oh? Really?" Jimmy teased, " Why don't you open your eyes and say that again?"

Johnny opened his eyes, and inhaled sharply at what he saw. Jimmy had a knife to his throat, and his gray hoodie was almost red with blood. "P-p-please don't hurt me," Johnny begged, eyes full of tears.

Into the silence you sent me
Into the fire consumed
You thought I'd forget
But it's always in my head

You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
You're the love that I hate
You're the drug that I take
Will you cage me?
Will you cage me?
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
From the monster you made me
From the monster you made me

"Hurt you? I can't do that, cuz if I do it'll hurt me!" Jimmy declared, seeming slightly annoyed, "We're the same person! I'm a part of you!" he added, laughing insanely once more.

"No! I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone!" Johnny yelled, gaining confidence, "I'll lock you away!"

"How cute! Do you really think that you can cage me?" Jimmy laughed, causing Johnny to flinch, "Ha! You're scared of me! You'll never get rid of me!" with that he pushed Johnny away causing him to wake up.

"It was just a dream, it was just a dream... " Johnny muttered over and over tears running down his face, until... he heard his voice.

"Hiya Ghostie! Did ya miss me? I told you I'm a part of you... you can't escape me by simply waking up! You simply can't escape me!" Jimmy laughed, and no matter how hard Johnny tried to cover his ears, he heard. Jimmy was in his mind, he was a part of him...

So this is the world you created
A product of what I've become
My soul and my youth
Seems it's all for you to use

"No! Go away!" Johnny cried, "I don't wanna hurt anyone!" even if people hurt him... he couldn't.

"Oh, but you will," Jimmy taunted, "And you'll enjoy it" He laughed, enjoying the sound of Johnny's cries.

If I could take back the moment
I'd let you get under my skin
Relent or resist
Seems the monster always wins

You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
You're the love that I hate
You're the drug that I take
Will you cage me?
Will you cage me?
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
From the monster you made me
From the monster you made me

The next day at school, Johnny was quieter than usual (which was saying something as at the time he had no friends) but then it was time for recess...

"Freak!""Loner!""Nerd!", the usual names along with the usual beating. The three bullies swung their fists, attacking with and without words.

"P-please just stop..." Johnny whined, covered in tears and bruises.

"C'mon," Jimmy said, in Johnny's mind, "I can make them stop!" The two fought for control until the lead bully punched Johnny in the nose causing a nosebleed instantly.

My heart's north is a decoy soul
I lift you up and then I let you go
I've made an art of digging shallow holes
I drop the darkness in and watch it grow!

Jimmy opened his scarlet eyes, and gave the bullies an insane smile, "You're gonna regret this!" he shrieked, lunging at them with a knife. And all Johnny could do was watch as his hands, controlled by Jimmy, murdered the three 9 year olds. NO!

My heart's north is a decoy soul
Who knew the emptiness could be so cold?
I've lost the parts of me that make me whole
I am the darkness
I'm a monster!

Johnny ripped control back from Jimmy, and the knife vanished, along with the blood soaking his clothes and face. "I'm a monster..." he whispered. "Yes we are," stated Jimmy proudly, and Johnny sat down and cried harder than ever before. When a horrified teacher came along, he just said:"his name is Jimmy Casket, he killed them... "

You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
You're the love that I hate
You're the drug that I take
Will you cage me?
Will you cage me?
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
From the monster you made me
From the monster you made me
From the monster you made me

*Yes, it's depressing but I love this song, and it makes me think of these two, if you give me other ideas songs, scenarios, whatever I'll try to make it happen! Music isn't mine!*
