Luke pov

I made my way to Casey's sister Astra, she was my first target. Then I moved onto Casey, then to Rena it was. I knew I was dead and I knew I could have some fun with them, especially Astra and Casey.

I knew this would be good, everything had been different here. I needed to see Rena one last time, I didn't know what to do, I needed to explain to her. She needed to hear everything I had been going through.

I followed them to Michigan and watched as Casey stabbed Rena in the stomach, I couldn't physically touch her. But I could still go through her, I wasn't sure if I should show myself to her now or later.

Nobody would believe me, but I knew it was worth the try.

"Rena, I love you. Always know that, I'm not here in person anymore, but I am here in spirit. And I know you did what you could to keep me alive, take my body and give it a proper burial."

I broke at the sight of her, I didn't like seeing her this bad off. I was thankful she'd seen me and or heard me, I was afraid of her dying, but if she did, then maybe we'd both be reconnected with each other again.

"I don't want you to leave me Lukey, what happened to you. And why am I able to hear you, I can even see you a little bit."

I thought a moment not knowing what to tell her, I just wanted her to know I loved her and I would always be there for her.

"I'm here to tell you baby girl, you need to talk to Casey though. He's on the way to find you again probably. But he brainwashed Liam into killing me, and he even brainwashed him into killing you. But Liam couldn't bring himself to do it."

I paused a moment knowing I didn't have much time with her right now, but I would take whatever time with her I was allowed to get. I didn't know how much time I had with her, but I would visit her whenever I could. I was thankful for the life I had on earth with Rena and Luke, all of our friends really.

"I don't understand though, what does Casey have against me. He knows everything about me and everyone around me Luke."

I didn't understand it either, but I would do whatever I could to try and help her understand. I knew she was in a dream like state right now because she was laying in the snow.

"I don't understand it either love, but I'll help you throughout life. I'm always going to be there for you baby girl, no need to worry. I love you, don't be mad at Liam or Casey, they've both been through allot in their lifetime."

It was hard for me not to judge Casey, but I had learned to forgive him. And I knew Liam had been through allot too, I made my way closer to Rena and hoped she knew to forgive them too.

"It may be hard Re, but you've got to forgive them baby girl. It's the only way you can learn to let go of anger and hate, you don't want to turn out like Casey and Astra. But I can promise you something is brewing, and when it does happen, I don't want you or any of the others to be there."

I wanted Rena to be happy and I wanted her to be able to learn to forgive, I was afraid she'd turn out like Casey. But I really didn't think she'd have it in her to do just that.

"It's so hard Luke, and yeah. You think I don't know about Casey, I had gotten high that last time when we left. I thought Astra was a part of my imagination, but I was wrong about that."

I sighed slightly thinking this through, I put my transparent hand on Rena's shoulder and felt her shudder under my touch.

"I know love, it's hard for me too, I miss you so much. But I'm always there for you, and I'll try and protect you as much as I possibly can. Casey isn't a force to be reckoned with baby girl. But Liam will take care of you, even Calum, anybody would be willing to take you in."

I didn't know what happened to Casey to make him the way he was today, but it wasn't my place to judge him. I wanted Rena to be alright and I had a feeling she'd survive this, I didn't want to worry too much about her though.

"Just tell me Luke, will I be alright at least. Will I make it out of this alive, or is this the last time I'll see my loved ones."

I listened to Rena and sadly looked to her, I couldn't answer her on this one. I didn't have the answer for her, I put my hand to her face and wiped her tears, I didn't know how to make it better for her. But I could only guide her and help her out.

Rena meant the world and so much more to me, I loved Liam as well, but Rena was my real love. I leaned over and kissed her and left her there, I had already spent more time with her then I should have.

"I'll try and come back Rena, whenever I can. Just know I'm always here and listening to you, I love you and if I could come back to I'm the dead I would."

I had to get an army of other people with me so we could take Casey, the spawn of the devil down once and for all. I knew his sister was trouble too, but she was the least of my worries, I wanted to make this good and I wanted to pay Rena back for what Casey did to me.
