The Deal

'Why . . . why won't he leave me alone? I can't get rid of him.' Daisy was a 16 year old girl with a problem, she had been battling depression for 4 years. It didn't help that hat she was bullied for her height. She stood only at 5'0". Every day she would get pushed, hit, kicked, and stepped on. Every day she would have to deal with someone telling her to kill herself, to fall off a cliff. Most of the time she would agree with them.

A few months ago she was visited by a ghost. She didn't know what to think, she didn't want to be haunted by a ghost. 'I can help you Daisy' it said. "What's the catch." she asked her voice barely a whisper. 'It's simple,' It said, 'I give you power and you give me a body.' A body she thought, did that mean she would have to kill someone. 'I need no human body, but a puppet' it said as if it read her thoughts. A puppet, well that easy she thought. "Deal" she replied to the ghost, holding her hand out. 'Excellent' the ghost replied grading he hand.

As soon as their hands touched, Daisy fell to the floor screaming in pain. The ghost flew into her body taking root inside her mind. She felt as if she been hit by 17 trucks. She groaned as she got up. She wasn't surprised her parents didn't come into her room. They didn't care for her as well.

The next day she went back to school. She was confronted by one of her bullies, Mike. He had been torturing her for 3 years. He dragged her out the school and into the woods. Daisy's month covered so she wouldn't scream. But it wouldn't matter, no one would come to help her.

Of course, she remembered the deal she made. With unknown strength, she ripped his hand off her mouth and started to run. Mike, stun from the push, ran after her. She didn't get far, Mike pushed her to the ground and took out a knife. He flipped her over and brought the blade to her throat. 'This is it' she thought 'this is where I die'. 'Not on my watch' a voice said. Daisy was pushed to the back of her mind, as an unknown force took control of her body. Mike, in one swift motion cut her throat. Daisy's eye opened wider than before. A grin broke on her face as she looked at Mike. 'You killed my puppet,' a deep voice spoke from Daisy's body, 'now I kill you.' The ghost possessing Daisy killed Mike before he had a chance to react. Daisy's life force faded away, the ghost heard a faint thank you. Then she was gone forever.

The ghost left her body, it fell on the floor with a soft thud. It didn't want her to die, it . . . he just wanted a friend, killed in the 1700's, he want revenge for those who did him wrong. He looked at the male's body he killed only minutes ago. With his arm out he touched is body taking control of the dead course. With the new body in his possession, he waked further in the woods looking one last time at the girl's body. 'Thank you' he said softly as he turned back around. 'Thank you.' His red and yellow eyes glowed in the dark as he walk away.
