Ashton's POV
I didn't say anything to Michael. I don't think I could find the words to.
He was sitting on his knees, with Hannah's body in his lap, with his head rested on her forehead, tears falling steadily down his cheeks.
I swallowed and sat down on the arm of the sofa and I saw Luke come back into the room. He looked down at Michael, who was holding Hannah and opened his mouth. I quickly got off the sofa and placed my hand on his shoulder, taking him out of the room.
"Is Hannah okay?" He said and I shook my head.
"She's dead?" He whispered and I nodded. Luke breathed out and I saw tears rim the bottom of his eyes. He quickly drew his thumbs underneath the creases of his eyes, getting rid of his tears.
"Is... Is Michael okay?" He asked and I took him into the kitchen.
"Michael's a ghost, right?" He said and I stared at him for a moment until I realised that he had been possessed by Michael's father for a few weeks.
I nodded and licked my lips once.
"Yes. He is, and so am I." I said and Luke's eyes widened slightly but he nodded.
"You're Ashton. You're the one Calum and I had no idea who Hannah was talking about." He said and I laughed, nodding.
"Yeah." I said and I pulled a chair out, sitting down at the table and Luke took the chair opoosite me at the table.
"Michael, and I, have been dead for about 200 years. I'm sure you know the story about what happened to the Cliffords?" I said, and Luke nodded, "well, Michael was so full of rage of what his father did to him and to his mother, that he couldn't move on. He was forced to stay here, and he was so full of anger and hatred towards anyone who was on the land. But when Hannah moved in... everything changed. She changed him. He developed feelins towards her. He loved her, Luke. And what was even better was, she loved him back. Michael finally had something to fight for... he finally had a light in his dark world. But after Michael's father murdered Michael and his mother, he shot himself. He was so hell - bent on making Michael's life a living hell he stayed. He remained in the house. He possessed both you and Calum for one reason and one reason only. To kill Hannah, because she is the only thing that made Michael happy... that made Michael human." I said and I saw Luke play with his fingers and he raised his head, locking eyes with me.
"When I was possessed... did I hurt anybody?" He said and I shook my head, giving him a small smile, which he returned.
"What about Calum?" He said and I furrowed my eyebrows together.
"What about Calum?" I repeated back to him and Luke shrugged.
"You said he was possessed also. Did he hurt anybody?" He said and I bit my lip and sighed.
"He... He was the one who killed Hannah." I said and Luke gasped.
