Till Death Do Us Part

Chapter 4

   I didn't see Dad come back home for days. I missed him, where did he go? I left notes on him bed every morning saying, 'sorry for scaring you' and 'I love you daddy'. I wanted him to come back so we could spend time together again. I was starting to miss my body after Lily reminded me. Being a zombie might not be so bad, I thought, I could walk around and do normal things. Then again that's not physically possible so I guess I'll just have to find a way to solidify the ectoplasmic body of mine. I looked around and tried to come up with ideas. Humans rely of food water, and shelter, I thought, so maybe if I started acting like a regular human my body will replicate that of a humans? I looked in the fridge for anything that hadn't go bad. It all went through me. No luck maybe drinking instead of eating? I drank the milk.

"Aww gross," I was sour and went all over the floor, "At least it went through me and not in me."

    I tried anything I could find nothing was working. I looked at the message I had written on the wall when I died.

"I wonder," I touched my writing it was still dry, "Maybe vampire rules will work? what is it again, Sucks human blood, can't go into broad day light, garlic is an allergy, silver is poison, and that's really it a guess. Anyone would dye if they got a stake through their heart."

  My alarm went off, I guess it'll only be a matter of time before the power and water go out in this house now that dad's gone. I left for school that I didn't have to go to. I noticed I could jump a little higher than usual today. I guess I'm getting more powerful, I thought, I wonder if I can posses people.

"Maxie you doing alright?" Lily asked me.

"Yeah I'm fine," I told her, just fine.

  I went through out my days as I usually did. I couldn't get dad out of my head, did I scare him that much. Is he gonna come back to get his things? If the house is sold do I have to start spending nights at the toy store? Should I let Lily know what's going on?
