Sacrifice.

The Doll

I quickly floated away to regain my posture.

I still couldn't believe that she could see AND hear me! But then again we are family.... And I did recall Luna telling me about that!

Flashback.

I sat on a rock chewing on a plump piece of meat, I didn't know what type of meat it was but who cares.... I was hungry!!

I noticed Luna walking in front of me and waved her over.

"Hi Emmy. What is it?" She asked, playing with her hair.

"Oh um... I was just..... Wondering.... What happens... After... You... Die" I barely uttered the words in between chomping on the meat.

She froze, made herself comfortable, and began to speak.

"Well. When you die no one can hear or see you, except for family members and other spirits."

I smiled and thanked her until she was out of sight, then  my mouth turned into a grimace.

God, Its gonna be crap when I die. Why would I want to speak to my mum!? And Mika... Well... Who the hell knows where she is!!!

End of Flashback

Ha. Well at least I know where Mika is now.

Remembering Luna made me remember the argument with then lead to more sadness.

I hope Luna's OK.

Snapping myself out of my depressing state, I made my way back to Mika.

" Mika, I'm so glad your safe" I said. She gave me a questioning look. "I'm sorry ghostie, I don't know you."

I knew it. She cant recognise me as a ghost, well done Emmy.

"Umm ghosts know everybody's name.. Yeah!" I lied, but by Mika's expression she believed me.

Then I remembered something. Mika was always afraid of ghosts and ghouls, so why wasn't she running away in terror right now.

"Umm Mika, do you like ghosts?" I questioned. gleam shone off of her plump face.

"Oh Oh of course I do!! I've liked stuff like that ever since... Well... Umm." I leaned in closer.

"What Mika? You can tell me." I said reassuringly, even though I could probably guess what she was going to say.

"Well when I was little my mummy turned out to be bad and my sister tried to help me by making me run away. But to do that I had to leave her, because she was a vampire and they used to scare me! Over the years I made myself overcome my fears, so when we next meet, I can hug her, tell her I love her and we can be together again, and, and....."

I could tell she was welling up so I shushed her. Her little speech made me emotional.... I was going to tell her. I couldn't keep it in any longer.

"Uh. Mika! Its me Emmy" I shouted unexpectedly. She stared at me as if not wanting to believe it. "I'm very sorry ghostie but I cant trust strangers. Prove it." She crossed her arms and waited for my answer.

I smiled and began explaining "Do you remember when we were out in the woods and you cut yourself. Wow you cried and cried, but you refused to get it sewed up because you thought the doctor was a vampire and that he was going to suck all of the blood from your cut! ha ha!"

Mika eyes widened and her mouth turned into a wide grin, but the grin slowly faded when it clicked in her head. "Wait, that means, YOUR DEAD!?!"

She fell to the floor and began to cry. I felt horrible.

I floated above her and she looked up at me. "Well at least were together now" I said reassuringly.

She smiled and went to hug me, only to find she couldn't and just walked right through me.

She broke down again and again, I felt horrible. Then I had an idea.

"Hey Mika, do you have any toys or objects?" I asked. She looked up at me confused and nodded her head, then she left.

After sometime she came back with a cute little doll with a sweet white frilly dress.

I smiled and closed my eyes. Slowly I drifted into the doll. A flash of light caught me by surprise, but it slowly faded.

I deed was done, I had now become the doll.

Mika looked panicked as she scanned the area for me, she obviously hadn't figured out what had just happened.

I raised the dolls hand (Well it was my hand now) and tapped her, the porcelain of my new skin rubbing gently against her sleeve.

She looked down and immediately lightened up. " Emmy! But how did yo-"

I put my finger on my lips " Don't question me." I said. It would take to long to explain the whole thing to her, and she's young, she wouldn't understand.

She held me up in the air and brought me into a big hug, I hugged back, my small hands barely reaching her.

 "I'm so glad your back Emmy, I've missed you so much."

"So did I Mika."

I was happy we were together but I knew that wouldn't last. DarkLix is on the hunt for every single one of us, and this body cant protect me forever.

For now I would just have to hope for the best.
