Chapter 1

Dennis heard Arthur's shouts in the back of his mind, but he just blocked it out, focusing on the violent ghost in front of him. He felt himself being pulled back by someone, jolts streaming through his head in a painful frenzy. As soon as he came back into reality he realized that he was behind the protective glass and Arthur was out in the open.

"No, Get Back Here Arthur! Your kids need you!" Dennis yelled.

Arthur just stood his place and looked upon the disgruntled face of his executioner. The Hammer struck Arthur in the back causing him to fly back into the protective glass. Soon, the Juggernaut approached the selfless dad. Dennis yelled at Arthur to get out of there, but he knew he couldn't. The Juggernaut had already picked up the disgruntled body and with a cracking sound shattered Arthur's bones. The ghosts started to fade.

Dennis P.O.V.

Why did he have to be the noble guy and switch places with me? He had kids that loved him, but I had nothing to live for. Chants were heard from the room the great machine was in, followed by cries for help.

"Ah shit! I gotta save his kids!"

Dennis slowly crept in to the doorway of the room. He could see the kids in the center of the Ocularis Infernum. Placing the special glasses on his face, he saw the 12 ghosts rotating around the machine chanting something he couldn't understand. Cyrus sneaked behind him and bashed his head with his cane. Dennis fell on the floor fading in and out of consciousness.

Maggie P.O.V.

"That BITCH thinks she can get me outta the way!" Maggie pulled some levers, pushed some buttons, and tried to stop the machine."I've gotta get a raise from this job!"

Dennis P.O.V.

While Cyrus was distracted by Maggie's fooling around with the machine, Dennis lifted himself up with all his strength and shoved Cyrus into the spiraling machine instantly killing him. Dennis had to get to the kids.

"Just hold on!" he shouted. Dennis pondered if he should jump to the kids or stay in his place chickening out like all of his life had been.

"Arthur sacrificed his life for me so I guess I have to repay the favor." Dennis thought to himself. He waited for an opening into the center and finally leapt. Dennis held on to the kids tight while feeling the worst pain in the world sting his head. Visions of Kathy and Bobby's childhood swept through his head in a raging frenzy.

Maggie P.O.V.

"Hellz yeah! Got this stupid fucking piece of crap to stop!"

The machine started slowing down its deadly spiraling, until it finally came to a stop.

"This is it for me. I'm on the first fuckin' plane back to Newark. I'm sorry, family, Bobby, Kathy, uncle, ghosts. I am sick of this nanny shit. I've had it. This was not in the job description. I QUIT!"

Dennis P.O.V.

I watched eleven ghosts leave the glass house I thought I'd never escape. The ghosts of Arthur and Jean came up to Bobby and Kathy, probably telling them all sorts of shit on how to live their lives after this "incident". It was actually really touching to see the family be reunited for the first time in a long time. Arthur said something that made the whole family look at him.

"Oh shit… Why are they staring at ME?..."

Arthur approached me saying, "Dennis can you look after my kids, please?"

I was shocked that he thought I would be able to take care of them when I had problems of my own, including the issue of Cyrus owing him a shit-load of money, but I have to repay him for sacrificing himself for me.

So, I took a deep breath and responded, "Eh… sure Arthur, I guess I HAVE to since I wouldn't be alive if you hadn't given your own life for mine."

Arthur thanked Dennis, "Don't take your eyes off them. They're energetic kids. Thank-you, you've done more than enough for my family already. Goodbye Dennis and good luck taking care of them."

Arthur and Jean said their final goodbyes before fading and leaving Bobby and Kathy with me…
