Chapter 1

I curiously watched the small boy who caught my eye ride atop a unicorn on the carousel. His wild blonde hair flying as if defying gravity, his lively azure eyes staring anywhere but me. It was understandable considering my circumstances. I worked up the courage to take a closer look at the soul that held my attention. The boy's eyes gleamed like the eyes of the woman whose curse had made me into a phantom to begin with. I made my way onto the carousel and stood mindlessly right behind his unicorn, as it spinned round and round. He smiled at the other children but they paid him no mind, laughing in their small group and carrying on. It was then, in that moment, when I saw the small danish boy's eyes fill with hurt, that I would follow him to the ends of the earth. I wanted to see him again, and heal the loneliness I found in his eyes. The loneliness I had never noticed while I was alive.

...

I stood off the abandoned amusement park's bench and immediately my eyes fixated on the upset Danish boy. His blue eyes were puffy, and he wiped at them with his sleeves. Although I wasn't happy about the reasons he usually came here, I was glad I got to see him. After all, when I hadn't been a walking spector, we had been childhood friends. I had been his only friend. He may not of known my name, but that's how I remembered it anyways.

The first time he came here to cry was a year after my dissapearance. Not really relevant since he wasn't mourning me, but still. He screamed and shouted at the nearby forest before settling himself on the base of the carousel. He sobbed vehemently, murmuring about how he hadn't deserved what they did. It made me mad, seeing someone so nice get targeted by a group of tormentors. They bullied him relentlessly now that I wasn't there to protect him. Yes, I had protected him without him noticing, and never got any recognition, but I didn't care about that. I took solace in knowing he was alright, but now he wasn't. After watching him sob there for a while. I followed him out and made sure that he got home alright. Like I thought, many of the boys from his middle school ambushed him. I admired the way Mathias could stay strong in the face of imminent danger; those who wished to opress him.

I decided that three against one wasn't a fair fight. I pushed hard against one of the boys, the leader actually, forcing myself into his body to take control over him. I turned to the others and began beating them up.

"Dagny? Dagny, ouch- what the fuck!?" One boy cried as I pushed him to the ground and punched him in the face. Another of Dagny's crew threw themselves atop me, but I easily shoved him off.

"Frans!" The other called out, assumedly to the one I was tussling with, with great concern. I peeled off of him and rolled to the side, out of the way of a punch from this boy. "Dagny, stop it! What are you doing?!" I grabbed his incoming fist in my hand, and pulled his arm behind him.

"Aghk..." the boy yelped. I felt no remorse for beating them up. They had went along so willingly to hurt Mathias. They deserved what he was too nice to dish out. I dropkicked another, slaying him against the ground.

"Now. Get the hell out of here. Leave Mathias alone, and don't ever and I mean ever, try to harm him again. I'll see you at school tomorrow." I made the boy I possessed say. I know they want to be his friends still so I let them leave, and hopefully this Dagny will learn something from this experience as well. I turned back to find Mathias holding an incredulous look.

"Why did you-?" Mathias began. I silenced him with a "shh," and left the boy's body, rendering him unconcious immediately. Mathias walked home from that event with a confused expression at first, but since he didn't come back to the carnival for a while after that, I assumed he was better off. I was again alone for quite some time with the damn carnival. I was so comfortable here, only occasionally left to check on Mathias and my brother. My poor brother... he probably wanted to kill my parents. Well, if they were still alive he might threaten it. I close my eyes and the scene of the disheveled carnival dissapearance filling with memories.

...

"Lukas!" I heard my mother call from behind me. The carnival was closed at night, and the dark sky foreshadowed my doom. As young as I was I had no idea what was coming. I turned from the woman with gleaming brown eyes, and long dark hair as black as onyx. The woman seemed unhappy with my mother's disturbance, and panic was evident in my mother's voice. I found my mother, bleeding profusely from many wounds I wanted to cry out for her, but my body would not allow it. Instead I had the urge to turn back around and follow the stranger woman's cooing, as she pleaded with me gently.

"Come along now, lukas. Your mother is not fit to take care of you anymore. She does not treasure what power you hold inside of you. I want to take you away from this place, and all I need is for you to come close dear." The woman cooed.

"Don't you dare touch him, Delphina!" My mother's voice shouted in disgust, scratchy and breathy. I was stuck in the middle, my feet inching me closer to this Delphina. Her face scrunched into an ugly expression, distorting her previous persona.

"Don't move an inch, Ellinor. I won't hesitate to take him with me, leaving behind a bloodbath." Delphina said her once melodious voice now cold, and detached. my mom and the woman lifted their hands, a bright light encircling Delphina's palms, and my mom's more in fear. though it happened fairly quickly, I managed to run at Delphina and pulled at her arm, pulling it downwards. This was honestly the worst mistake of my life. Mostly because it was the decision that ended my life. The cheery carnival faded from my vision leaving nothing but darkness in its wake. My mom's screeches filling my ears, and a loud thud slowly following, being the last sound of that somber night.

I imagined if a ghost could really cry, that my face would be moist with fresh tears after every memory.

A/n: Hey guys! I know I just did a DenNor one, but honestly I couldn't think of anyone else for this. Now that I'm sitting here I probably could've made it something else, but I like it so I'm going with it. (I know that this one might seem a little bit similar to the other one I'm currently writing if you're reading that one, but trust me they are different.) I hope that you enjoyed the first chapter, and trust me this one will be a bit sad, but it was a concept I hoped would be interesting enough to stick with. So I can't wait to see what you guys think. As always, thanks for reading! And I love reviews so don't be shy, I won't take any critiscm badly! As long as it's constructive. Thank you! ~Hetaliancupcake :3 (btw, I'm sorry I suck at summaries lol.)
