I wanted to cry.
Haden and I... I liked him
I...loved him
but I had to leave. Before I wasted up my life force. A child ghost can only stay around for so long (8 years after death). Sadly, I can make myself appear as a human 13 year old, but my dead corpse body will always look how I did when I first met Haden:
A girl....
She's shaking......
She's crying......
She's covered in blood......
I never want to go back to that look ever again. I wanted to stay 13, and be young, with my hair so much longer than my corpse's. You may be thinking... so what happens if a ghost child stays around for 8 years or overstays their welcome? Well, After 8 years of sticking around, I will be whisked awaay to my graveyard and have to stay there for eternity. If I overstay that welcome and try to pass 8 years, My ghost will fade until I don't exist, and my corpse will turn into a pile of ash. Which is why I rather leave now, and only be able to visit Haden, then to dissapear forever.
I now stand in my graveyard, with a bunch of other ghosts, talking and telling stories of when we were alive. I didn't tell a story, or talk to anyone. After a while of exploring the graveyard I managed to find two spots I like to relax and memorize where everyone's stone was. The two spots when high above ground. One spot was on a hill near a priest's tomb. It was very high up, and you could see the sun set and rise. The other spot was on the top of a tree in the meadow full of rocks. Each rock was holding down a mere peice of paper with the name of a person who was acused of being a witch. People must have been real dumb to believe something so childish and carry out a plan of wiping the 'crafters' out.
I met three people I could talk to:
Marcus Bayle, a 13 year old werewolf who sleeps in the cemetary because he has nowhere else to go. Marcus said he once knew Jason Gorge, but when they were both 9 years old Marcus left
Kyle Darsin-18 (1984-2002), Who died in a car crash after a huge consumption.
and Priest Reese Lather-29 (1959-1988), A young female priest who died of murder, who taught my father of God.
I also met Simon Palter-23 (1963-1986) A young student of Reese's. They had a love affair secretly behind Reese's 3 year husband Dan. Apparently Simon was also murdered but 2 years before Reese. Dan didn't die until he was 85, but he got burried somewhere else.
I hate how small my coffin was. It made me feel sick. Pretending to be human, I grew a few feet, but my old body shriveled up and looked even smaller. I remember my cousin Spencer. He was 27 when I died. He was turned into a vampire when he was 23 so it wasn't a big deal that he didn't change. He made a deal with me about something. He promised me that if I were to ever die of anything, he would turn my corpse so I could live again.
That actually does work. If a vampire puts enough vampire blood into the dead corpse, the body grows to the age it's supposed to be at and comes back to life as a vampire. The ghost gets sucked inside it. But Spencer is supposed to be 30 now and has been away for a while. When Haden was sleeping, or on vacation for the weekend, I would go to my old house and see if Spencer came back to visit. He never knew I died, so it would be a while before he came to find me and turn me. I am excited and will wait gladly though, because if he comes, I can be around Haden and Jason and Michael again. That is all I want. I want to live, not to live my old life, but to live the one I did with Haden.
I want my 'life' back again.
I decided that it was dark enough to go to sleep. I decided to sleep in the ground beside my coffin. I wasnt really given a proper burial, and I was never given a wake. And my funeral was small, with only a few relatives. Those people were horrible to me. I was only a mere child! And they flopped my body in that tiny coffin to rot! Still bloody and shrivelled up! How could they do that to me!?!?
