Second Life by Justin

Ghosts Are Real

I looked at all of my friends, they all had pail faces, I get up and said "I'll check it out" I said, but suddenly Lauren stood up and said "no! I-I'll come with you" suddenly Rose stood up and said "don't go thinking your a badass just because you stopped your father from hurting people, and I have to protect Lauren" Karen was next to stand up, "I-I don't want my Girlfriend get possessed by a spirit on our first date" we all close in on the crying, it seemed like it was coming from behind a tombstone, "t-that grave is crying, maybe the person who was buried there is a restless spirit who can't move on to the afterlife" Rose said in fear, this basically brought Lauren to tears, I signed the light behind the tombstone... Sarah?! "Hey!! It's too bright! Stop shining that light in my eyes" said Sarah. I was about to ask what's she's doing her when suddenly... "EEK!! THE SPIRIT TOOK KAREN'S FORM, NEXT IT WILL TAKE HER SOULヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ!!!" I heard Lauren scream at the top of her lungs, she suddenly grabbed a stick and started to lash out on Sarah with it, "DIE DEMON!! YOU WILL NOT TAKE KAREN!!" she screamed at her, Karen broke out in laughter from the situation, "h-hey!! Stop it!! I'm not a demon!!" she screamed as Lauren beated her with a stick, "Karen!! Stop Laughing!! You friend is trying to kill me!!!"...

After some explaining and calming down Lauren
"it's good to meet you all, I am Karen's twin sister Sarah, right now I have a hundred splinters, bruises, and lacerations, but despite this, I hold no malice against you╥﹏╥" Sarah said greeting everybody, Lauren was crying "I'm sorry Karen!! I didn't mean to hurt your sister!! I was just trying to protect you!!" she said as she bigged Karen for forgiveness after she already was forgiven by Sarah, "don't worry about it, it's cool. and besides, you were right about one thing, my sister can be a demon sometimesಠ‿↼. But isn't that just the definition of siblings?" Karen said, she then looked at her sister and asked "you ok?" Sarah only rolled her eyes and said "no thanks to you, do you really find me getting beaten funny?", "it was more of the irony that I found funny, so why were you crying?" Karen asked, "um, how do I put this, I was touched, you all seemed so close. I guess I just got emotional" Sarah explained, "ok, so why are you here?" I asked, Sarah looked at me and said "because of you" me? "I'm sure you already noticed, but Karen thinks of herself as a comedian, but she was never a lesbian, at least, not that I knew of. So when I heard you two were going on a date, I was worried she might do something awful to you, so I, um, I decided to observe the date from a distance" in other words, she was following us, she then stands up and turns to look at Karen and said "but it seems like I don't need to worry about that... Karen, you are the biggest pain in my ass in the world, but despite that, if you truly like girls... I'll support your choice as your sister", "Thanks Sarah" Karen responded. I've been so deep in the closet for so long I thought for sure I'd end up in Narnia, so I'm happy to see all of this support for homosexuals, "um, anyway, I want in on what your doing" she said, "sure" Rose said.
We all put our hands on the triangle that is on the board (Justin: look, I don't know what's it's called, so let's just stick with 'triangle on the board') Rose starts to talk "ok, we all know the rules, we all keep our hands on the triangle or whatever it's called, no matter what, do not remove your hands, if you do, then you will get possesed" Rose warned, every nodded in agreement. As I said before, I'm going to use my powers to move the triangle, if I scare Lauren enough, then she will be brave enough to face her parents later, if I scare Karen enough, then I will get back at her for all of her jokes she played on me (Nia's true thoughts: if Karen gets scared enough, then she might cling onto me for protection─‿─) if I scare Rose enough, then that will be enough to make me happy, if I scare Sarah... actually, I don't have a reason to scare her, but she's her, so that's unfortunate for her. everybody closed their eyes and Rose began to talk "John Dough, if your here, them please make your presence known" she said, one and true John Dough will answer [telekinesis] the triangle began to move, I heard several gasps, so I let on out myself, Rose began to read the letters that the triangle highlights, "I am here" Rose read, "Holyshit. Holyshit. Holyshit!!" I heard Sarah say in fear, Lauren was pale, Rose was... happy? "Oh my god! A real ghost, awesome!" Rose said, I was a little disappointed, she was supposed to be scared, not happy. But I can control this spirit, I will scar her, "John Dough, tell us how you met your end" she asked John Dough, or in this case, me. "Rose!! You should never ask a spirit that!!" Lauren said in fear. This is my opportunity, [Telekinesis] "I was struck by a speeding car" I said, Rose seemed shocked by the answer, "woah" she said, "why would you make me remember my end? Why would you make me remember my pain? Why would you make me remember when i lost all that I love" I said, I'm actually really am hurt by this, I feel angry when I think about when I lost my first life, not angry enough to make it apparent, but I think I understand why ghost hate it when they are reminded of their end, unlike me, who got a second chance to live, ghost are dead for good. I looked at Rose, she was starting to be scared, I think that's enough revenge for my bad memories, "John Dough, forgive me for my foolishness, I will do my best not to hurt you with my words again" she said, yeah sure, I forgive you, but I still need to scare some people... what the fuck? All of the sudden, the triangle began to move on it's own "you are no longer speaking with John dough" it said. Now I am scared for real. I looked at everybody else, they were either confused, or scared. Wait a minute, there's supposed to be five of us, correct? Me, Karen, Lauren, Rose, and Sarah... yeah! That's five! So why do I count six? Who is this other girl? I see another girl who's hand is also on the triangle, she was wearing a green dress and had long black hair. I also noticed that nobody else can see her, "then who are we speaking with now?" Rose asked, "I am a trapped spirit, wandered these graves for years" I'm scared shitless now. Do I have the power to see spirits? "One of you is not like the rest" the spirit said, she must me talking about me, I guess she can see that I'm not like normal people. All of the sudden, our light source, being our phones on flashlight mode, turned off, I hear screaming from the darkness, "is everybody ok?" I asked... I only hear silence, I suddenly hear a voice "what are you?" I turn around to see the spirit was standing behind me, "what do you mean?" I asked it, "your spirit is unlike your corborial form" she said, I see how it is, "let me guess even though I'm a girl, I have a man's spirit?" I said thinking I was right on the money, but the ghost only tilted it's head, "your soul has no form" what? What does that even mean? "What do you mean by that?" I asked, "your soul, it keeps changing, it has a shape, but it also has no shape, and it's strong, the paranormal powers, they are escaping your corporeal form, it's as if your just a spirit just possessing a body, but the body has no other soul other then your own, you are alive, you are linked to your corporeal form, you have not died and yet, we are somehow similar" not a lot of what she said made sense to me, but I did understand one thing, it seems like these powers of mine, it's actually my 'ghost' affecting the without having to leave my body, somehow from being reincarnated, my spirit became stronger than most living peoples spirit. It seems that we are alone so I began to explain things to it, "look, the truth is, I have died before, but I was reincarnated into this body, I don't know how I got my powers, or how it happened, but somehow I can remember my past life" the spirit remained silent for a moment, "that makes sense" she finally said, "I have a request for you" she said to me, "um, yeah sure, I guess I have to honor the dead, so just tell me what you want, and I'll do it" I said, "you see, my name is Caroline! I died at a young age..."

Caroline's POV
Many years ago
David! He's so handsome! He's so kind! He's so strong! And the best part about him; he's single('∀'●)♡! How!? How can somebody as great as him not have a girlfriend? You know what? I don't care, I want him! And I'm going to do my best to make him mine alone... there is one problem however, "I SAW HIM FIRST!!" my sister yelled, "OVER MY DEAD BODY" I yelled in response, My sister, Danna seems to think she already owns him, "you can't have him!! He's basically already mine. I was drowning at the pool today, and he came to my rescue! He even gave me mouth to mouth treatment. MOUTH TO MOUTH TREATMENT! We were basically kissing!" I said trying to get my dumbass sister to shut up, "oh please!! That doesn't even count! And besides, I bet you were faking it! You pervert!" how dare Danna call me a pervert! "Oh!? I'm the pervert?! What about those photos you took of him when he wasn't looking?" she seemed shocked "w-what are you talking about?" she said, hahaha got you now! "Yeah! I saw what you were hiding! I even found some of him naked! So you are in no place to call me a pervert!!" I yelled at her, she seemed stumped, she eventually stormed off in a fit of anger. Bitch! You want to fuck something so badly? Then go hump a cactus! You have no chance against me?

That night
I was laying bed soundly, when I suddenly heard a noise in the dark. I looked around, but I saw nothing, so I laid back down, and I close my eyes, trying to get some sleep, the was when suddenly I felt something around my neck! I opened my eyes to see Danna on top of me trying to strangle me with a piece of wire, "D(gasp)-Danna- (gasp)" I couldn't say anything "sorry Caroline, but I can't let David know about my secret, that's why you have to die" the world started to get fuzzy, and eventually... it went dark.

Nia's POV
The present
"I see, I see. So you want your sister brought to justice for killing you?" I ask the spirit, she nodded and said "indeed, I've been trying to move on to the afterlife for so long, but i can't, I believe I won't be able to rest in peace unless i know that I've been avenged. Nia? Will you avenge me?", "yeah, but I just have one question" I asked, "ask away" said the spirit, "were you really drowning, or were you just faking it?" I asked, all of the sudden, the spirit started to act nervous, "U-um, well, I might have been playing around, I mean, um, it wasn't like I was hoping he would save me, um" oh my god, this ghost isn't even scary anymore, "ok, ok, I got it, don't worry! The next time you see me, I will be telling you good news!!" I said to her, she smiles and says "thank you, Nia. you must go to my home, I've hidden a diary in the walls, not even danna knows about it, in my last entry, I explained how I was going to confess to David, I wrote it the very night I died, I'm sure it will make compiling evidence", "your giving me permission to read your diary?" I asked, "I do not have much of a choice, I am desperate, I want to move on. There is another thing, I suspected that Donna would go so far to get David, so I added a note in the diary that will be helpful, please take it"
And then I woke up?!?! I saw Lauren holding me in her hands, she was crying? Karen eye's was also red and puffy, Rose seemed shocked and so did Sarah, "what happened?" I asked, "Nia(ｉДｉ)!! Y-You just suddenly passed out!! I kept trying to wake you up, but you wouldn't move!! I thought you were possessed (or dead)" Karen said with tears in her eyes, first time I've seen Karen cry, I think I was possessed, but I'm not telling them that, "I'm fine, don't worry, lets just go home, I think that's enough excitement for one night"
