Chapter 2: New Home
'Clock-tower'
Clockwork's pov.
I watch as the grieving family cry over the loss of one of their own family members; the small boy laid peacefully, as if he were only asleep, dreaming of a world we could only hope to imagine. The doctors placed the sheet over the young boys head to where no one could see his face. My form switched from a adult to a child before proceeding further in my observation.
The viewing screen faded to a room; it was the size of that of a master bed room- it's walks and ceiling were white, that lit up the room even with the smallest amount of light reveled, with a black carpet that was soft to the touch. There wasn't much in the room to look at there was a simple dresser that you would see in any bed room- it was a soft grey with silver handles and white trimming, a hall closet that opened with a purple door; It also had it's own bath room;and finally a queen sized bed, it's frames were a dark mahogany color while it's sheets where black with green trimming, with having neon green pillows.
On the bed laid a boy that appeared to be 5 in age, with snow white hair and light tanned skin (A/N: which I still don't get why?) he was wearing a hospital garment. The black covers were pulled up to his shoulders, as he slept soundly I thought it was time to make my way to the room to greet the new comer to the Ghost Zone.
Ghosts: a spirit in which that has yet to leave our world, some by choice others, not so lucky. There are many reasons for a ghost to be bounded to the world of the living, some from their love towards something or guilt they have yet to resolve, there are even some that can never leave, being ether born/created or having a strong connection to the world that can never be severed. There are the lucky ones where they have to complete one simple task before departing, to help his/hers love ones that in a situation that can benefit them and you, there are even some that just have one request to make to his love ones.
But, this new arrival is different, he his bound to do great things all he needs, is to be shown the right direction. I made my way to the room -up the stairway and down the hall- to a door that was a dark grey with different carvings sketched around the frame and middle, it was a ancient ghost language that only fell still know -me being one of them of course-. I opened the door ever so slow so I wouldn't disturb the small child.
I flowed over to the bed side, he would be wakening soon, so it would be best to greet him to were he wouldn't be confused of where he was; I changed to an adult.
The child stirred in his sleep, opening his eyes -revealing to be glowing green-, at first he didn't notice my presents, so I made an approach to speech first.
"Hello, Daniel" that got his attention he whipped his head to my direction revealing how bright his eyes were; he looked at me in fear not daring to loss eye contact. I merely chuckled at the young boys ignorance. His parents filled his mind that all ghost were evil, but even if he doesn't recognize me as one, he would think I was someone who may have kidnap him or was here to hurt him. Even though it was amusing, I still have to get him to understand that I was a friend not a enemy.
Danny's pov.(let back up abit)
I feel like I was better, there was no more pain, I felt like someone gave me something that made the hurting stop. Now, maybe I could leave and go with mommy and daddy, oh, and Spazzy too (hehehe, got to keep that :D). But somethings off, I feel cold, I don't like it, I like being warm; maybe the nurse lady turned up the AC like she does every morning before giving me breakfast. I don't like the food, it's yucky and it looked weird, but if I don't eat it, the doctor would tell me how it can affect my health, then I would be at the hospitable even longer.
So maybe it was morning, but I don't remember going to bed, the last thing I remember was feeling dizzy. I tried to wake up on my own, the nice lady would always wake me up but maybe I could wake up first to surprise her and to ask if she could turn down the AC. I opened my eyes slowly, the light would always hit by face in the morning and I didn't like it, but this time when I opened my eyes I saw white, I mean I would always see white when I woke up but light would hit me eyes too.
I took a look around. I was in a different bed then the one I was used to, it was big, like the one mommy and daddy have in there room, there was a black carpet instead of a tile floor, and I saw a dresser, that's all I could really make out, I know there was no window; but then, were was the light coming from?
"Hello, Daniel", i was startled by the sound of someone I turned my head as fast as I could, only to find a monster (your five and you see something different and it seems spooky; what would you think), he had blue skin and red eyes, he was dressed in purple, wearing a hood that covered most of his face, but I could still see it.
I was having a stare down with him, I tried my best to seem more courageous, then what I felt, but I know I was failing, 'I think he's a ghost, mommy and daddy says all ghost are evil and non should be trusted' I didn't want to loss eye contact with him, I didn't know what he could do, mommy told me once you can never predict what a ghost could do. But to my surprise he laughs... wait.. he laughed, mommy said ghost don't have any feelings so there's no point in them laughing, crying, of anything really, she said they were emotionless; so why is he laughing? Did I do something silly?
"W-what's s-so, f-funny" I tried to act brave, but even my words failed me. He looked at me with his glowing red eyes, Sissy once told me that 'the eyes were the gateway to the soul' at first I didn't understand, but when she explained that you can see someone's true emotions and who they really are then it was clearer; but does that imply to ghost to? I looked into his and saw something familiar like I would see in Sissy's eyes, he was smart, and I saw he was playful like daddy's were I also could see he liked a challenge like mommy when she's ready to fight. But I didn't see evil or anything to mean that he wanted to hurt me, in a way I felt I could truest him, but I wasn't going to take the chance just yet.
"Hehehe, nothing I was just thing of something that amused me, that's all" he said, with a grin that looked like Spazzy's, telling me he knows something I didn't.
"What do you mean" I felt more confident this time so I sat up ready to listen to what he had to say, "and, and who are you" I did my best glare I could make, even though most of the time it would just made people laugh, which made me even more mad then before.
"Nothing to be concerned about, and as for your seconded question my name is Clockwork" He said in a calm tone that was reassuring, maybe I could truest him.
"Clockwork?" I said I never heard of a name like that before.
He only laughed, I must have had a funny look on my face for him to laugh at me like that "yes, it's a bit strange but it is my name, like yours is Daniel".
I glared at him again, I hated when people called me Daniel, it's Danny not Daniel; why did people always call me that. I watched as he only laughed at my expression.
Clockwork's pov.
I chuckled at the young child's expression, he tried so hard to make himself seem tuff; but this was going better then expected I could tell he know I was a ghost so that was out of the way and I could see he was debating on whether or not I was good or not. For a five year old he was quit smart; well being the son of two scientist what do you expect, but he still had a lot to learn. He still doesn't realize why he's was here.
"Danny"
That shook me out of my thoughts, I looked up at him he had a stern look on his face, telling me he will not back down -something that will be his greatest skill- there was a moment of silence between us until he spoke up again.
"Danny" he said a little louder "my names not Daniel, it's Danny"
'Oh, right he doesn't know the concept of his name' I gave a small smile, making the little boy soften his gaze just a bit, I changed my form, to that of a old man, catching Daniel of guard.
"Hehehe, Danny is a informal way of saying your name which is Daniel" I stated "I prefer to use the formal way of your name"
He only looked dumbfounded by what I said, I let it sink in but before I could he started to speak again.
"But I like Danny better, Daniel makes me sound old, I don't like it" he said crossing his arms in front to him.
"Yes, well I think I will stick to calling you Daniel for right know" that was not what he wanted to hear, he made a look on his face that told you he was coming up with a plan; and sadly I know exactly were this was leading to.
A sly grin crept across the young child's face looking back at me "If your going to call me Daniel, then I'll call you " of course the dreaded nickname, it wasn't original or creative but it was one that can stick.
I only sighed in defeat, I looked at the grinning boy, it was the first time he smiled at me since he arrived, but I know it would soon disappear once I told him why he was here.
Danny's pov.
It was funny seeing the look on his face, it was the best thing since I arrived, but where was I and where was mommy daddy and Sissy? I may not get out of my room a lot but I do know that this wasn't the hospitable I look at Clocky (yeah, I'm having fun with this name) he looked sad all of a sudden, he had a smile but the look in his eyes told me that I wasn't seeing the big picture, or something like that.
"Daniel?" I guess calling him didn't work in making him stop calling me Daniel "do you know why your here" I shook my head to him telling him I didn't.
There was a short pause, he must be trying to find the right words to say to me; I remember daddy trying to explain to me once were baby's came from, I was curious one day so I wanted to know, but he had a hard time explaining it to me, he finally told me that he would explain it to me when I was older, this seemed like the same thing only different question. Clocky was twirling his staff thingy around, every now and then opening his mouth, but soon close it. But I don't get it all he had to do was tell me were i was; how hard is that?
Clockwork's pov.
This was hard even for me. How can you tell someone that they died and are now a ghost? But it's something you cannot put aside till later, one way or another he would find out, and the best way was for me to tell him.
I asked him if he know where he was only to get a shaking head telling me no *sigh*, I tried thinking of the best solution to tell him, I looked up now and then to seeing him waiting for my answer. I may be the Master of Time who was suppose to know everything but that doesn't mean I know how explain everything so clearly. Especially to a child.
I sighed once again it was now or never, I looked up to Daniel to see he as yet to move from his position, I gave a reassuring smile that was only brief and was soon back to a sad look, my form switched to a baby but then to a adult once again.
"You are in what is know as the 'Ghost Zone'" the look on his young face told me that he know exactly what I was talking about -well of course- his parents are ghost hunters so he would know a little about what they study.
"Ghost Zone? How did I get here?" Daniel asked taking another look around room again, trying to find a hint that would tell him that it was indeed the Ghost Zone.
"Yes, well you are in my clock-tower, where I live and as for how you got here..." I trailed off, again I was stumped, I saw in his eyes he was curious to know why.
I released un-needed air that I didn't realize I was holding "you see Daniel, you had an illness that rarely anyone would make it through" he knotted his head, he most likely has been told about his illness once or twice in the past "and sadly the small few who do survive it's would be 1/10 of a chance in happening; do you understand" I let it sink in before continuing, I could tell little by little he was realizing what I was saying.
"Yeah, the doctor told me I was one of the few who were stable, but lately they been saying I was off and on... what does stable mean?" he said looking a little worried
"Sable means to not likely to change or fail in progress to stay in the right state" I was a little glad to get off topic but I had to explain further.
"Oh" he looked down on the bed, but only for a second or two then he razed his head looking at me, telling me to continue on with my story.
"Mmhhh... well as I was saying, many don't make it.. and.. sadly you were one of the many unfortunate children to fall from such a fate" I hoped he would understand, sadly he know exactly want I was talking about, tears sprang from his eyes -even though ghost don't have the same structure as a human, they could do almost the same things- I came and sat next to the child, this small child has been fighting for a year to survive only to have it all in vain in the end; Daniel had and -still has in fact- a strong will to keep going, but sadly his human body could not keep up, failing him in the end.
Danny's pov.
'I just can't be dead, I can't'; was he lying? No, the look in his eyes told the truth and it does answer some questions on what happened, like how the pain was gone and why I was in the ghost zone. Now I know why he was having trouble explaining it. I think I can trust him, ever since I came here, I hadn't felt threatened by him.
I looked up to him sit next to me, I felt the stream of tears fall from my cheeks to my chin, to my surprise he started to rub my neck, I closed my eyes and smiled a little, that always made me feel better; but how did he know? I looked up at him he turned from an adult to a old man that reminded me of my grandpa, only he was smaller in size than grandpa was.
He gave me a smile that was sad, it was one that told you that their, there for you. I smiled back maybe he could help me understand more on being a ghost, he has so far.
"I know it's hard to except now but things will get better" he said, I wiped some of the tears that blurred my eyes site.
"E-even th-though I-I'm d-d-dead, could-d I st-still s-see m-my f-fam-mly" I said still having tears come out, no matter how many times I wiped me eyes away, they still ran down my cheeks.
"Yes and No" I looked up he was not looking at me, he stared off into space thinking; but what?
"Huh?" was all I could get out; how could I see them but I couldn't at the same time. I waited for answer to come from him.
"You see" he started off looking back at me "you can see them, but not right now; do you see?" I cocked my head a bit, what does he mean? He changed from a grandpa to a baby, getting up and floated back to where he was before. Later I need to ask how he was doing that, it was neat.
"In time, Daniel, you will be able to see them once again" I knotted my head "okay" that was all I could say, lowering my head.
Now what was I going to do I was five, I don't know how to be a ghost I don't even have a place to sleep; could I ask Clocky if I could stay with him? I don't want to be rude though.
I looked up to my surprise Clocky was right next to me by the bed, he was in his adult form, he had a smile across his face that -even though it felt cold- his smile seemed so warm and welcoming, it made me happy and safe, like I felt with my family.
"And, just so you know, your welcome to say here, if you wish" he said, I smiled up at him which in return made him laugh, I guess I looked pretty goofy, but that's all I could do; he didn't mined me staying?
"Hehehe, you know keeping your face like that it's bound to freeze" he chuckled, in response I stuck out my tough which only made him laugh more.
His form then changed to the baby again, floating to the door that was strait across from where the bed was it had weird symbols all over it.
"How about you pick out some cloths and come down to the observatory; alright?" he said turning to face me again; he changed to the grandpa again.
That was something I almost forgot, I can barley walk, the only reason I could was because I had braces for my legs. I lifted the sheet to see my legs -no braces- I lowered the blanket, and looked up to see Clocky in is adult form, he looked like he already knows what I'm about to say, but wanted me to say it anyways.
"Umm...I can't walk, not without my braces that is" ,I felt ashamed, I don't know why, but I did. I lowered my head not wanting to make eye contact with Clocky.
"As a human yes, but as a ghost you are more than able to walk" I whipped my head up, surprised by what he said; could I really be able to walk?
"Hehe, how about you give it a try" he said, with a grin. I could only smile in response. I moved the sheet away from me so it wasn't in the way, the bed was -to me- really high, so I was causes getting off, when I reacted the floor I could feel how soft and fluffy the carpet was, I was still holding onto the bed for support, rubbing my bare feet across the carpet (just try to tell me you didn't do this to when you were young or even now, I know I did :3)
I slowly let go of the bed making shore I had my balance once I let go I notice, I was doing fine I took a step, then another soon I was running around the room. I could hear Clocky laughing, but who cares, I can walk, run, jump, pretty much do all the stuff I couldn't do before.
After having my fun, Clocky coughed to get my attention, I turned towards him.
"Your clothes are right over there in that dresser, the closet has some other things you may need; alright?" he pointed to the dresser then the closet, I shook my head happily, he smiled warmly at me before turning to leave.
As he open the door he turned to me "also the bathroom is right there", he pointed to said bathroom which was a light green. Before I look back to Clocky, he had already shut the door behind himself so I was left there alone.
After a moment I made my way over to the dresser, it was much bigger than me, in a scene I was half the size of it, I opened the drawers and pulled out a black shirt with green trimming, on the front of the shirt it had white bold letters that read 'BOO', it made me giggle, I then got a pair of black pants to match with a pair of socks I then headed to the bathroom.
Inside the bathroom, it was like being in a checker flag, the floor had big tiles that are black and white, the walls were half and half, the bottom being black, the top being white, there was a sink with a mirror, that looked like the one at my house, mommy told me it was the color pearl -but it looked white to me- and a shower that was also white but had a black curtains (I don't think ghost have to use the toilet so that's not in there), there was also a Landry basket that was a very dark purple that almost looked black.
I set the clothes on the Landry basket so I didn't have to put it on floor. I then notice there was a stepping stole for me to use under the sink, so I pulled it out so I could use it. I wanted to see what I looked like, daddy once told me when a ghost is created they look different then they would when they were alive; I gasped I defiantly looked different then before, if I didn't already know I would have thought there was another person in here (ghost in his case).
I finished getting dressed ready to leave the bathroom, but when I reached for the handle my hand when right through making me slip going right through the door itself, 'that was weird' I looked back at the door I fell through, getting up I walk to it, placing my hand on the door, but this time I touched it, I tried again but my hand didn't go through 'well that's bunce'.
'Maybe, Clocky will tell me what was that about' walking away from the door I was about to leave to see Clocky when I remembered I needed shoes. I walked over to the closet, inside it was like the one in any other bedroom, when I found the shoes I shut the door then put the shoes on, they where green with white fronts and black laces, on the side was a white weird symbol that looked like -what I think- a D with... I think that's a P, inside.
After leaving the room I made my way down the stairs 'this place is big' it it took me a while to get down the stair-way but when I got to the bottom I was in what looked like a living room but it had a gray medal floor and had lots of weird gears floating around they looked like what you would see in a grandpa clock (this is a five-year olds pov.). In the far corner was a couch and a book shelf, it had lots of books; it reminded me of Sissy she would love seeing the big books.
As I looked around, a bright green glow came from the next room; making my way over I saw a big green swirling vortex thingy, 'maybe this was the observatory Clocky talked about' walking around I tried to find Clocky, but he was no where to me seen.
"Ah, there you are" startled I turned around as fast as I could to, facing -or in this case looking up to- Clockwork although calling him Clocky is much more fun.
"Not funny!" I stated turning my full attention to the purple clocked ghost.
"Well, I wasn't meaning to startle you, but still it was funny" he chuckled, I haven't been here that long, but I know now that I will not win with him.
"What's that?" wanting to get off topic I pointed to the weird swirly thing. He looked to where I was pointing and grinned "that is how I observe the time stream".
"Huh?" he chuckled at my response, he does that a lot.
"You see I control time, and it's my jobs to observe the time line to keep it on track" he explained to me.
"So you spy on people and control and change what people do" I said to him, it sounded like he was doing something wrong.
"Haha, how you state it, is sound like I'm a stalker, but no, I see what has been, what is happening and what could be, and it's my job to make sure everything goes smoothly, it's a little hard to explain, even for an adult really".
I hated when adults say, 'it's a little hard to explain','you'll understand when your older' or 'I'll tell you when your older'; why? I don't get it, why am I to young? It's the same lines I hear all the time. But when he said 'even for an adult' I'm guessing it's that confusing so I guess it's okay.
Clockwork's pov.
It's amuses me to see Daniel ask these questions, but explaining time to a mere child... well it's almost impossible After explaining as best as I could, I looked at him seeing disappointment in his eyes but at the same time understanding. Daniel was use to having to be told that he was to young, even though I would like to explain somethings, it would be best to save for another time.
I could see I was losing Daniels interest, so it was time I should explain somethings to him to help him understand his position, now that he is a ghost.
"Daniel, there is somethings I need to explain" the two pairs of glowing green eyes stared me down, showing he was focused and that he was all ears.
"Okay, like what?" he asked.
"Well, I have to tell you somethings about being a ghost and who or what they are" I said trying to be as clear as i could, I am use to speaking to adults not children so this -even for me- was new.
Daniel sat down on the ground Indian style looking up at me, I guessing he knows that he better get comfortable.
"To start off, ghost are created in many ways, you however where created because you have a strong connection to your loved once" I let the information process before continuing.
"I have a question?" he raised his hand as if he were in a classroom.
I raise an eyebrow to this "Yes?".
"What does connection mean?" 'oh boy', I really need practice, talking with kids, 'maybe Ghostwriter knows a thing or two, I'll have to ask him later'.
"Well you see, connection is having a link or relationship to something or someone; understand?" I tried to explain as best as I could, I'm just glad he knotted his head -though you could see confusion in his eyes-, it was best to get back to the topic at hand.
"Alright, now as for you purpose; all ghost have one reason their so bent on staying and not crossing over to the next, but the only way to know what your purpose or obsession is, is to discover it for yourself, which you don't have to worry about for right now" I continue my lecture I moved back and forth twirling my staff, I notice where ever I moved to, his eyes would follow, they almost felt like they were burning holes into my skull.
"Okay" he simply stated, 'he doesn't push much on questions now does he?', at least he sees he doesn't have to worry.
"I also want to tell you about your staying arrangement; alright?" I told him he could stay but I left out some important information about it. The small boy only stared at me to pranced further.
"The room you were in is yours to stay in, if you didn't already know, also, when I'm at work please advise... or should I say ask, if you stay out of the way" he knotted his head.
"My mommy and daddy told me the same thing once, when there down in the lab and working I can't go down there... or Spazzy too" Daniel told me, I smiled to this, he's comparing things to understand things better, that's a great way to learn from your mistakes.
"Good, also about exploring the 'Ghost Zone', you may, but I would wait for your powers to grow a little more or at least wait till you can fly-","I CAN FLY!" my ears where ringing from that outburst, 'I should have guessed, the power he possesses it's no surprise he would have such strong lungs'.
Adjusting my hearing, I continued "Yes, well you powers need to develop first, you already experienced one of your powers: intangibly- to be able to go through solid objects", he got a little embarrassed, not thinking I know.
"H-how, do you know of that?" He must have forgotten.
"Hehe, remember I'm the Master of Time I know everything" I simply stated, only getting a reply of a arm cross and a pouty face in return.
"Well, I believe that's about it; any questions?" he must be on the verge of asking, so it was best to prepare myself of whats to come.
"Why is there lots of green? Why don't you have legs? Why can't I fly yet? Is your favorite color purple? mines Blue. How old are you? Can ghost grow up? When can we eat? I'm hungry. Can ghost even eat? Are there ghost my age to? Are you going to teach me to use my powers? Do I still have to go to school? Why is it so cold? Can we have ice-cream? Can I still have a birthday? Where's my birthday presents mommy daddy and Sissy got me?" he stopped for a sec. to try to find his gift he recently got, to no avail, "How many superpowers do you have? Do I have to get a job too? How-" I stopped him there, amazing what goes through such a young mind, then again the younger you are the more you wonder about the world.
"In order" I want him to know, the pattern of his questions "there's lots of green because of the ectoplasm that surrounds the 'Ghost Zone'. I can't explain why I don't have legs. Your powers have yet to develop strong enough to fly. And yet purple is one of my favorite colors. I'm Infinite. Some ghost can still age it only depends if they wish to or not, it can so be because of there power and what there obsessed with. We can eat if you wish, some ghost don't eat but there are some that do because they love the taste. There a few your age but some you have to avowed because of there past and they may not even be children. Yes I'm am going to teach you how to control your powers. Yes, you still have to learn to get by in life, or in this case after-life, you will be learning under a friend of mine. Your cold because of a ghost lack of a heart beat. I think we can discuss ice-cream later. Ghost have what is called a death-day, but considering it's on the day of your birth, it can be seen ether way. Your gifts are back with your family, but I do have something to give you, know that you brought it up, but I'll give it to you shortly. It's ghost powers other than super, and how many I have is for me to know and for you to guess on your own" I took a brief look to see that he didn't like that answer,"Not all ghost have jobs, and your not required to get one ether way right now, but when you are a little older I would like to have you help me as my apprentice." I finished with his questions, there was a three second pause between the two of use before it was broke.
"You said you had something for me, where, where" He looked back a fourth.
"I can see you were listening, just wait right here, so I can retrieve it" before he could ask anything else -most likely a word I just said- I left the room only to return short after.
It was a box that Daniel was all to familiar with. He looked at it recognizing what it was "that's the box mommy gave me with the goggles, that were in it" I smirked opening the box taking out what was in it.
"You mean these" I lifted a pair of black goggles with red lens, they were worn out and looked like they were used for many years.
"Yeah", he ran over to me, I then handed him the gift that was given to him by his mother. There is always something that a ghost has that keeps a link to them and there past self, these goggles were his link, the last thing he had to his family, to the world he once know... well at least for now.
He tried placing the said goggles on his head, but as before in his life they fell, falling down around his neck. I then helped placing them on top of his head.
"How did you do that?" He look at me amazed.
"Just a after-life time of practice" I gave a sly smile, at the gesture, He only stared at me in aw.
Danny's pov.
Clocky was really nice, even though he didn't really give me a strait answer to some of my questions, but still, nice. I'm thankful that I meet him, when I see mommy daddy and Spazzy again I would like them to meet him.
For the rest of the time I asked questions, which he answered he would stop me ever now and then so he could answer them, but then I went back to asking. He also showed me all around the clock-tower I could hear all the ticks and tocks like you would hear in a clock, it was neat, I liked to node my head to the beat, it was fun. It went on for a long time.
After awhile I started to loss interest, I wanted to do something fun; but what? I looked around maybe Clocky had something fun to do. I garbed hold of the cloak, tugging at it, to get his attention.
"Yes" he looked down at me.
"I'm bored; do you anything fun I can do?" he looked at me then changed his form from an adult to a grandpa, he then moved over to a table that had somethings I didn't notice before- there was a stack of paper and what looked like color pencils. He picked them up then handed them to me.
"Here you go, you can draw some pictures to past the time" I took them, looking at them i thought of what I could draw, " go up to your room, there will be a desk for you to draw at when you get up there; alright?" he looked at me smiling, I returned a smile, then racing back up to my new room.
When I got back to the room, I saw the desk, just like Clocky said. It was a dark brown desk with drawers on each side of where a roiling chair was, I ran up to it setting the paper and color pencils on the desk so I could get in the chair easier When I got on the chair I started to think 'what should I draw?' I wanted to draw something for Clocky first, to thank him for all he's done, so I drew a picture of him, in the back ground I drew lots of gears and floating things I saw today, around him.
After I was done with that I drew a picture of my family and me -but what I looked like before- in in the back ground I drew a sun, a bright blue sky and green grass, I remember going to the park last year and thought that it was the best place to draw all of use. When I see my family again I want to give them this picture to make them feel better, Clocky told me that they are sad that I'm gone. I don't want them sad so maybe if I give them this picture they will be happy I can tell daddy that some ghost like fudge, I know I do.
Finishing that picture I drew random pictures of ghost, I even drew me when I was alive and now to see the difference, I went back to the bathroom to make shore that I didn't use the wrong colors.
I like it here. Maybe I can still keep my promise still, I'll get strong, I don't want to make any one sad.
I got down from the chair, I was getting tired but I wanted to give the picture I made to Clocky first before going to bed. I made my way down to the observatory where I saw him he was in his adult form talking with two weird one eye ghosts... well I think there ghost, I walked up closer to hear what they were saying.
"You can't have that ghost child living here Clockwork, he can cause a lot of problems for the time stream the first one eye ghost said, was he talking about me, I didn't do anything.
"That's right, and besides he's bent on destroying things to both the 'Ghost Zone' and 'Human realm " the second one eyed ghost said; what do they mean I'm a five, the worse thing I can do is hide Spazzy's Albert, and do they mean bend, how can I bend the 'Ghost Zone' and 'Human realm'... what does realm mean?
"Say what you want about the child, but he has different paths he can make, you are just referring to one that doesn't involve me helping him" Clockwork said with a bored expression, where I was hiding i could see all their faces.
I was glad that he was sticking up for me, but what does he mean 'different paths' ;were we going on a trip? The more I stay here the more questions I want to ask.
"Fine, but he is your responsibly, if he does anything out of line, it with be on you" the first one eye ghost said, pointing his finger at Clocky.
"Yes, yes I know, You say these thing about once a week" Clocky said turning his bad on them "You guys need to relax, you don't have to worry your little eye out about Daniel, now if you two could please leave I have some important work to attend to".
The one eyed guys left leaving only Clocky in the room, this time his back was to me so I didn't know what he was doing. I still want to give him the picture I held in my hand, so I clenched it tight in my hands more making in crinkle a bit, but not so much.
"Daniel, you can come out now"
I felt myself jump five feet, 'how long has he know I was here', I slowly stepped out of my hiding spot, then walked over to where the Master of time was.
"Who were those guys with the one eye" I asked once I was up to him, his appearance changed from his adult form to a child.
"Those, were the Observants, in a scene they keep the balance like I do, but there a pain in the butt and have no scene of humor" he explained to me, I giggled at that.
"Oh" I replied then a thought came to me "were they talking about me" I ask, for some reason it didn't shock, him when I ask he only look at me seriously, then sighed.
"It's hard to completely explain, yes they were talking about you, but they don't see clearly even with those big one eye they have, they are still blinded by what could be" He explained to me.
"Oh" I didn't want to ask anymore, I still didn't get it, but then again I don't know a lot of what he means. I looked a the viewing screen, seeing it swirl around, it was cool. I then remembered why I came down here. I looked at Clocky and smiled.
"I made you something" I handed the picture over to him.
He took the picture and looked at it -or observe as he would say-, I waited patiently for his response, after a while he smiled looking back at me.
"This is really nice; what's it for?" I smiled, I was glad he liked it.
"It's for letting me stay here and being really nice" I said
"Well, that wasn't necessary, but thank you" he said to me, I was happy he liked it "I'll keep it in my room for safe keeping; okay?" he switched from a child to a adult, I haven't been here for that long, yet I was already use to that... well daddy did such the house in an alternate universe, so this comes to a close second.
I was about to leave the room to go to bed when, I just remembered something "Clocky, didn't you say you had important work to do?"
He laughed "well, I just didn't want to deal with them any longer, so I told a white lie"
"But you lied, mommy said that it's bad to lie" I said, crossing my arms over my chest.
"Hehehe, yes, I know it's wrong to lie, but sometimes telling a lie is better than telling the truth" I didn't buy it.
"How? What was the truth then?" trying to outsmart him.
"If I were to tell the truth I would said 'leave you annoying one eyed creeps'; does that sound nice?" he said, okay I can see what he means.
"No... but I do agree they are one eyed creeps" I said, he laughed at my response.
"Yes, well It's time for you to go to bed" I yawned to that, I started to walk to the stair way.
"Goodnight Daniel" I heard him say as I made my first step on the stairs, 'It's Danny' I pouted but smiled, I turned around to look at Clockwork.
"Night, night, " I then raced up the stairs, giggling at the nickname I gave him.
Clockwork's pov.
Hehehe that nickname he gave me was going to stick for a long time, but it was a bit funny non the less. I had discussed with the Observants about Daniel being a threat, I'm just glad Daniel didn't here the part with him being locked up -which i wont allow-.
I looked at the picture the young boy gave me, It was cute. Daniel is no threat, all he needs is guides. He will be put through a lot, in time to come and will face many new friend and foes along the way.
I looked at the viewing screen, it revealed a boy, about 14 years of age with snow white hair and glowing green eyes waring a jumpsuit, the boy was flying through a town with a grin on his face "this will be quite interesting" it faded away, I then left the room to think things through.
