Hey guys- I AM BACK!
if you haven't read my last story- THE NEW ADVENTURE- you need to read that before this one
enjoy! (;
It's a year since my death. A year since the unthinkable happened, but now it's come back for another go, another shot of killing me from the outside, in.
Chapter 1
I'm a ghost.
That's all I understand.
Why? That's what's bothering me.
I was going to kill the world. For my punishment I have to watch those close to me suffer.
Or maybe this is what every dead person has to suffer.
No one can see me, well, no one who's alive that is.
My uncle can. But he's only a mere memory. A dead man's last thoughts hidden away in a stone.
He tells me not to worry, that I could communicate to Skulduggery through him, but I say no. It won't be the same.
I have spent the past year watching my friends and family, watching my friends fight strange monsters, watching Tanith and Ghastly finally tie the knot, watching Alice grow up and watching over her. If anyone came near Alice in a threatening way, they would earn themselves a fire ball on the bottom. I proved this one day in our garden, a man crept up on Alice and tried to kidnap her. To make a long story short, he ran away with his pants alight.
But what is the point of my being? Is it so I can protect those I love? Is it to make me suffer for all my wrong doing? I don't know but I am sick of it.
But now I'm worried about Skulduggery. As I've been watching him on occasions, he has been looking in the area which I'm floating and then at his gun which lays on the coffee table. I have watched him do the same thing for hours on end and other times for just a few minutes. I know he wants to pick it up and put a bullet through his skull, but he knows it won't work. Even with his fake face up, it may not work and he would just get blood on the carpet. I wish I could speak with Tanith about this but she has her own problems at the moment. A slight bump has appeared through her leather and I watched her and Ghastly discuss baby names. Soon she will have a daughter or son to look after. She doesn't know how lucky she really is to be able to have a family. Now that is only my long dead fantasy. One which i can never even hope to dream again.
How long must I suffer? How long will this go on for?
I want this to end- to finally rest in peace- to close my eyes and never wake up again.
I will ask my uncle if there is a way.
But before I go for sure- I must protect my old partner. He is falling apart- his magic weakening. His injuries keep coming back and after a few more fights- he will just go back to a pile of bones.
I now swear on my (kind of) life, that he will return back to his former glory, even if it means never seeing him again.
This is my promise to the one I have left- the one who I owe my life to.
Skulduggery pleasant will return and when he does- No-one will be able to beat him…
bit drastic hu?
please review...
