Part 7: The Past Comes Back to Haunt

Ghost POV:

After that whole fiasco, I finally calmed Ava down.

"I'm telling you, I covered our faces in time, thank god."

Nøkk: I'm trusting you with this.

"You should."

Nøkk: Fine.

We crawled into our separate beds and slept. Or, at least, I did.

Nøkk: Hey, Y/N?

"Yeah?"

Nøkk: Can I sleep with you? I'm having night terrors.

"Sure."

Nøkk: Thank you.

"Why wouldn't I let you?"

Nøkk: Well, I don't know, I'm not used to being friendly with people.

"Same, but we have to start somewhere."

Nøkk: You're right. Love you, Y/N. Goodnight.

"Night, love you."

I fell asleep and started to have a nightmare. This time, it was of when I was 15. My dad was abusive to my sister and I, and our mom died after giving birth to my sister. He would always try to hurt her, but I would intervene. This nightmare took place on the night I fought back.

Dad: Y/N, GET YOUR USELESS ASS DIWN HERE.

"Coming."

Before I went down, I grabbed my grandad's Luger from under my bed and loaded the parabellum rounds into it.

Dad: HURRY UP, GOD-DAMNIT!

"Sorry, coming."

I slowly walked down the stairs only to see my dad holding a Glock 19. I aimed for his head and fired. Straight in the head. I went upstairs, grabbed my sister and all the money I could find, and ran as fast as I could.

Sis: Y/N, w-what's going on.

"We're getting a new family. Or, at least, you are."

Sis: Then, where are you gonna go?

"I don't know."

Suddenly, I was awoken by Ava screaming.

"Ava, Ava, wake up! It's a nightmare!"

Nøkk: W-oh, sorry...

"Don't be. What was it about?"

Nøkk: That Oliver guy...

"He got what he deserved."

Nøkk: Thank you for that.

"It's what I do. He tried to hurt you."

Nøkk: Look, it's 7:26. Do you want to go get breakfast?

"At the cafe, or eat out?"

Nøkk: Like a date?

"Why not? Like a date."

Nøkk: Let's go.

"I'll have to ask Harry first."

Nøkk: That's true.

I began to walk to Harry's office, when I was interrupted by a large lemon.

Lion: You... you monster! I saw some of your work! You bett-

"You're next if you don't shut it."

He stepped out of my way after that. What a shame, a wanted to make another piñata. I opened the door to Harry's office and he greeted me.
