"Darkness, that's all there ever is and that's all they'll ever be."

Her voice danced through my head like the tune of a single song bird through an empty forest. As calm as the candle's flicker and as chilling as death, it whispers to me from where I cannot tell. I franticly attempted to open my eyes as if that is all I am meant to do on this earth but it was to know use. My eyes cannot be open because they've been awake this whole time. My eyes are already open and yet I can see nothing; nothing that is than darkness.

"Have I startled you child?" The voice called again through the darkness.

"Let me go!" I yelled from instinct.

A steady laugh filled the room, a dignified laugh short and sweat.

"What's so funny?" I snapped protecting my still developing pride.

"You may leave at any time you wish, I am not keeping you here." Her reply was smooth free of break or any impression that she was indeed lying.

"If I can leave anytime I want then why am I blindfolded?" I asked in a sarcastic manner.

"You are not blind sir, you merely do not see."

"All I see is darkness!" I snapped at the invisible force.

"Ah, but isn't darkness something worth seeing?"

A hand griped my shoulder and I froze. No time was given for a reaction, I felt a cold breath whisper against my ear, nearly too silent to hear yet clear enough for me to understand.

"Tell me Danny, are you afraid of the dark….."

My eyes shot open to the image of my ceiling. I sat up quickly panting, cold sweat fell upon my brow and then proceeded to the bed spread.

"What just happened?" I asked the empty room.

My eyes looked at the clock.

3:47 am

I through my head back into the warmth of the pillow and stared at the white ceiling.

Was it truly only a night mare?

I thought silently. It couldn't have been a dream, everything was too real. I found myself shivering at the thought. I know I'm not afraid yet I still feel fear, I still feel scared but not of the voice nor the darkness; I just feel afraid.

"Calm down Fenton, it was just a dream there is nothing to be afraid of," I told myself.

But I knew that was a lie.

My eyes opened to only be meet with darkness, this time I screamed. I couldn't help it something or someone was making me, I felt as if I was again a child afraid of the dark and what secrets it held.

"Why do you scream sir? Have I done something to upset you?" That voice, that voice to calm from words yet with a chill that over sees its' tone. I hate it, I hate that voice I wish to never hear it again.

"Get away from me!" I yelled.

"I have a task to complete and I cannot leave until it is done."

"I don't care what you have to do, JUST GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" I screamed.

"I can see that this method of communication has proven to be too much from you. Shall I try another?"

"Get out!" I screamed much like a child desperate for his mother.

"As you wish sir Phantom."

With that the world fell silent. A calm fell over me and I no longer felt afraid only a peace. Perhaps it was only a dream, and if it's a dream. I brushed my fingers across my for-arm pitching slightly. The darkness vanished from view leaving the image of my alarm clock in its place. I stared at the red numbers and read.

6:56 am

My alarm would shortly be going off so there is no purpose of falling back into darkness. I yawned from the exhausting nightmare filled sleep but it's not the first time I've had a sleepless night and it will surely not be the last. I removed the covers from my body and stood from the bed. The cold floor felt soothing against my feet, I loved this feeling. I hate walking up in the morning yet I love little things. Most people don't understand the beauty in walking across a cold floor leaving a trail of heat as you walk. I guess that's why I miss being fully human, day by day I'm giving off less and less heat becoming more ghost. Slowly dying from something that seemed harmless, unnecessary and slowly killing me. Little things like this I will miss the most so I'll just have to savor them because I know I will not have them forever.

I walk to the mirror and pick up my hairbrush when something caught my eye. A young girl stood silently against the wall of my bedroom. Her hair was white like snow with bangs that covered her eyes that lay straight across her nose. She looked about fifteen with deadly pale skin and marked with rose red lips. She wore a black dress with eight buttons on her torso. The dress covered her arms and her neck with white frill on each end with the skirt ending at her knees. Under the dress were white stockings with black buckled shoes.

She waited silently as if for me to speak. I turned quickly to meet with the intruder but there was no one there. The room was empty with no one in sight, a chill fell up my spine. Was I just seeing things? My mind fogged as thoughts filled my head only convicting me crazy. I turned to my mirror and only felt shock, I couldn't speak there was no way this was happing. I reached quickly for my cell phone on the dresser, I quickly took a picture of the image. I stared at the letters written in black, stared at the words so chilling that my very bones froze.

Mirrors never lie Sir Phantom

I felt like I was going to vomit. There was no way I was dreaming but that only gave me more questions and more unanswered thoughts. Two rings formed around my body changing me into my counterpart. Whoever this this is she know who I am so it doesn't matter if she sees. I flew from my window, maybe Sam would know what is going on, and maybe she knows what's going on.

"I don't know what's going on!" I paced across Sam's bedroom as the raven haired Goth growled at me. I had waken her up and she was not happy about it.

"So your dream came to life?" Sam said sarcastically.

"Yes! No….I don't know!" I huffed, "Look at this she wrote it!"

I opened my phone to the picture and once again I was thrown into shock. The camera merely took a picture of my shadow against the mirror, none of the words could been seen. I stared blankly at my phone, I couldn't speak so I stood there mouth open in shock.

"What?" Sam took the phone from my hand, "Danny there's nothing here."

"Sam I swear it said Mirrors never lie sir Phantom!" I felt cold chill over my bone again.

"Well weirder things have happened, a new ghost maybe?" Sam said handing my phone back.

"I don't think so, my ghost sense never once went off. I don't know what this thing is but it's no ghost." I stared at my phone holding it tightly to the truth it once held. I shivered once and looked back at Sam, her eyes filled with concern.

"What?" I asked.

"Well maybe you've just been tired and you imaged it," Sam said softly as if to save my feelings.

"I didn't" I spat flying from her home.

Even Sam doesn't believe me. I landed on the cracked sidewalk and sighed changing into my human half. I don't know what's going on but I know I don't trusted it and for good reason.

The air took a quick turn to cold, I crossed my arms in attempt to warm myself. I looked across the street and my eyes locked, there she was there across the street she stood left arm reached out to me. I shivered from the cold and stared. Slowly my feet began to move. Slowly I moved to meet the black clothed lady who waited so patiently on the other side of the black concert. My body moved but I had no control to my actions and yet I didn't mind it, she was there welcoming me and all I had to do was met with her.

"Danny!" Someone screamed.

I snapped from my trance, my eyes left the woman and turned to Sam. Reality set back in and along with it the sounds of ….is that a truck? I turned to see a truck speeding towards me a small yell came from my voice as I turned intangible. I covered my head and waited for the truck to pass, once passed I was met with Sam's hand across my face.

"What the Hell where you doing?" Sam yelled.

"Oww," I replied with her slap.

"You could have go your self-killed!" Sam continued to yell.

I did, didn't I?

I almost died all for her?

What is wrong with me?
