Authors note: I have always liked the story about Casper the friendly ghost so I thought I would do a CSI: Miami twist on it. Happy Halloween everyone :o)
DISCALIMER: I don't own CSI Miami and i don't make any money from it
Calleigh the friendly ghost.
Calleigh gently flew through the Duquesne manor for what would be the seventh time that morning. She had no reason for leaving and no reason for staying. Yet she stayed. She stopped in front of a mirror, but the refection wasn't there, there was nothing, as she was after all a ghost. For how long she had been that way, she didn't know, only that it felt like forever.
She was about to slide through another wall when she head voices from the main entrance downstairs and slowly floated downstairs, but outside view to check it out.
There was a man, a lady and two sons from the looks of it. She guessed the oldest one, a redhead could be about eighteen and the youngest with brown hair was about thirteen.
"You can not seriously mean we are going to live here in the middle of nowhere," said the redhead with a huff.
"I think it's cool, come on H, let's check upstairs," said the other boy.
"Whatever," he said and followed him as the woman said: "Mike, it's a bit cold here, would you mind closing the door."
Calleigh's eyes went sad as the man slowly closed the door and she left the room.

Horatio slowly opened the door to a dusty old room and sat down on the bed, the mattress was old, but still very comfortable, he slowly dragged his feet up on it, put his hand under his head and closed his eyes for a second.
Young Horatio was now nineteen years of age and an orphan. This was the second foster family he and his younger brother Raymond had been placed with and Horatio hated it.
He had fought against the last one so hard that they in the end sent them back. All he wanted was his mother back, the gentle and kind Meredith Caine that loved her sons as much as they loved her.
The redhead looked a lot like her with his fiery red head. He slowly opened one of the boxes he had carried with him into the room, took out a picture of her and placed on the dusty nightstand that was already there.
He walked over to the window, pulled the curtains aside and opened it to get some fresh air and sunlight inside to get a better view of it. The color of the walls was somewhat pinkish or what was left of it. There was a dresser with a mirror on top, he opened it drawer in it and looked inside, a very old hairbrush so he assumed the room was previous owned by a girl.
He wondered what she had been like as he blew some old dust of the dresser seeing that it was carved some words in it. A CD + JB. And for some reason Guns R 4EVER.
He shook his head a tad wondering how long ago it was that the previous owners moved out, before walking downstairs to get more boxes.

Calleigh let herself slide into her room after he had gone and looked at the photo on the nightstand. It was of a woman in her mid thirties, she had long red hair and the bluest eyes she had ever seen. She was happily smiling to the camera, leaning against a tree. Two young boys were sitting by her feet smiling as well. The oldest one had red hair as his mother and the other with brown hair.
The young ghost looked confused at the picture which she assumed was they boy's mother, but what were they then doing with the couple they had arrived with.
"What happened to their mother?" she thought as she tried to remember her past life, but she couldn't for some reason.
She knew from the pictures in the attic that she had three brothers, a mum and a dad, but she couldn't remember them or what happened to her.
Her hand tried stroking over the picture of the red haired woman, but slid right through it. She sighed wondering if she would ever remember, if it had been nice, not to mention how long ago she had in fact been dead.
She startled as she heard a thump behind her and turned to face the young redhead. He looked confused at her. She looked scared back before disappearing through the floor hearing him say, "Hey wait."
"Who are you talking to?" Raymond asked behind him.
"A girl, she was just here," he said.
"And then she vanished into thin air," his younger brother said rolling his eyes.
"As a matter of fact yes," he said.
"You're hopeless," said Ray and put down a box before heading for his room down the hall as Horatio looked around the room wondering if he was going crazy or if it had in fact been a girl there.
Feedback always welcome and very much appriciated :o)
