I do not own 13 Ghosts

I do not own 13 Ghosts. I only own Lily.

Story start

Lily awoke the next morning to a very quiet house. "That's strange," Lily thought because normally her house was filled with hyper noises from her younger cousin, or Kathy's griping. Lily shrugged as she stood from the bed and walked into her bathroom. She slipped out of her night clothes and took a shower. The warm water felt good to Lily's half-asleep body. Ryan was still in the bed and he had not awoken yet. Lily finished her shower and rung as much water as she could out of her hair. Her white hair glistened in the bathroom lights and her eyes shone like crystals. Lily left the excess water in her hair and she brushed her teeth. A loud yawn could be heard from Lily's bedroom, and Lily knew it was Ryan. Lily finished brushing her teeth and quickly put on her undergarments and black jogging pants with a white tank top.

Lily walked out of her bathroom and saw Ryan lounged out all over the bed. Lily couldn't keep her giggles from escaping. Ryan saw her laughing and he glared. "What is so funny?" Ryan asked as he propped himself up with his elbows. "Nothing teddy bear it is just that you take the whole bed like that," Lily answered truthfully with a small giggle. She took in a deep breath to cease her giggles, and smiled at Ryan. "Good morning Ryan," Lily said as she walked over to the bed and lightly kissed Ryan's lips. Ryan's lips slowly formed into a smile and he kissed her back before saying, "Good morning to you too Lily." Ryan went to give Lily another kiss on the lips, but he stopped mere inches away when a knock sounded on Lily's door.

"Lily it is time for breakfast," Kathy said in an overly sweet tone. Ryan glared and wrapped his arms around Lily's waist protectively. "Alright," Lily said in a confused tone. "Yesterday she tries to kill me, and yet this morning she doesn't want me to starve," Lily thought as she tilted her head to the side in confusion. Ryan's grip on her waist loosened when Kathy walked away from Lily's still closed bedroom door. Lily pulled from his grip and grabbed Ryan's hand. "Come on and let's go get some food. I hope it's not poisoned," Lily said as she started to pull Ryan by his hand. Ryan laughed at the poison remark, but inside his mind he was planning on horrible ways to kill Kathy if the food really was poisoned.

Lily and Ryan left Lily's room and headed to the dining room, which is where the family ate every meal together. Arthur and Bobby were already seated at the table, and Kathy was walking around the table and serving plates of food. Arthur was casting suspicious glances at Kathy, but Kathy just acted oblivious. Lily could sense the strange aura in the room, but her adorable cousin Bobby was oblivious. A child's mind is a beautiful thing. Lily released Ryan's hand and she sat down next to Bobby. Ryan sat in the seat next to Lily and that was also the seat beside Arthur. Two more seats were vacant on the opposite side of the table. Kathy handed Lily a plate of eggs, bacon, and jellied toast.

Kathy's smiling face was starting to give Lily a strange chill, that someone usually gets in a horror movie when something is about to jump out and attack you. Lily felt Ryan grab one of her hands underneath the table, and Lily smiled. Kathy went to sit in the seat beside Lily, but Kathy was shoved back by Ryan. Kathy gulped in fear, because she knew that Ryan was there even though she couldn't see him. Ryan smirked and glared at Kathy with hell's fire dancing in his eyes. Lily tightened her hold on Ryan's hand and he looked at her. Kathy quickly dashed to the other side of the table and sat down in front of Lily. "The Jackal might prove to be a problem when Hollow asylum comes to take Lily away," Kathy thought with a scowl. "Good morning Lily how did you sleep?" Uncle Arthur asked with a kind grin to his niece. Lily smiled and said, "I slept great and how did you sleep?" Arthur sighed and gave a tired smile. "It could have been better," he answered exhausted. Lily gave him a sympathetic look and started to eat her breakfast.

"Do you have any classes today Lily?" Bobby asked with an excited glint in his eyes. Lily thought for a moment before saying, "No I don't have any classes today. Why?" Bobby smiled and said, "I wanted you to play with me in the backyard. I made this cool paper airplane and I want to show it to you." Lily smiled and agreed to play with him the whole day. Bobby cheered and he enthusiastically ate the rest of his breakfast. Kathy was gripping her seat as she waited for the people from Hollow asylum to arrive, which wasn't quick enough in her opinion. Arthur smiled at his son and niece who were being their normal selves, but his daughter was still acting strange. "Kathy are you feeling better today?" Arthur asked as he stared at Kathy.

Kathy placed a fake smile on her face and said, "Of course I'm feeling fine daddy." The whole table gave Kathy a strange look, because she hardly calls Arthur daddy. Lily's suspicions of today being wrong grew as she stared at Kathy. Lily could tell that Kathy was hiding something. Something was telling Lily to run away from this place, but Lily couldn't do that. Bobby and her Uncle would miss Lily so she couldn't run away from them. They had done too much stuff that has helped make Lily a better person. Lily sighed and squeezed Ryan's hand to try and comfort herself. Ryan gave Lily a protective look and Lily loosened her grip on his hand.

Kathy was growing very impatient as breakfast came to a close. "Where are they?" Kathy thought as she paced around her room. The doorbell rang loudly throughout the whole house and Kathy ran from her room. Lily was about to answer the door, but Kathy shoved her out of the way. "Hello I'm so glad you are here," Kathy said excitedly as she pulled open the front door. Two strong men were standing behind the good looking man that Kathy had seen on the website last night. "Hello Miss Kriticos my name is Chris Stone and I've come to rid you of your problems," the young man with the strange green eyes said with a small bow. Kathy blushed and let the man in her home. The two muscled men entered in behind him.

Lily's eyes grew wide when she saw the three men. The muscled men were dressed exactly like the strong men from her old asylum. Ryan recognized this as well and he grabbed Lily's hand. "Hello you must be Lily. My name is Chris Stone. Now why don't you and I have a nice talk with each other," Chris Stone said as he gave a small smile to Lily. That smile was supposed to be kind but it only spelled out entrapment to Lily. Lily glared at Chris and yelled, "Go to hell and take Kathy with you." Lily ran from the room and headed for the back door. "Get her," Chris yelled angrily and the two muscled men started following after Lily. Ryan was floating right behind Lily and he was infuriated.

The two men were gaining on Lily and one almost grabbed her, but she ducked out of sight into Bobby's room. Bobby was playing a game in there, and he gave Lily a curious glance. "What is it Lily?" Bobby asked and stepped away from his game and towards his cousin. Lily pulled Bobby into a tight hug and said, "Bobby I love you and your father very much. You two have been so kind to me and I'll never forget it. If something were to happen to me today don't worry because I'll be fine. I'll try and come back to you if they take me away. I'll never ever forget the two of you." Bobby was so confused and tears started to show in the corner of his eyes. Lily kissed him on the forehead and she quickly slipped out of his room. The muscled men were nowhere in sight and Lily quietly snuck back to the front part of the house. "What is the meaning of this? I won't let you take Lily. She is no danger to anyone in this house," Lily heard her Uncle Arthur yelling from the kitchen.

"Dad she is insane and it is not safe to keep her here. She claims to see and talk to ghosts, and everyone knows that is not normal. She even attacked me yesterday when I told her she was being stupid," Kathy yelled back in a pleading tone. Lily balled her hand into a fist and stormed into the kitchen. "I was not the one who did that to you Kathy. I don't care anymore if this man from the asylum sees me right now. All I want to do is knock some sense into you and I'm sure that Arthur won't stop me," Lily yelled outraged. White fire was in Lily's eyes and Kathy backed away scared as a mouse that is about to be eaten by a cat. Arthur and Chris were shocked at Lily's entrance, but Chris quickly regained his calm composure.

"Lily I know that Kathy has done something horrible, but I won't let these men take you," Arthur said as he walked over to Lily. Ryan was standing behind Lily and he wanted to rip the intruders and Kathy to tiny little bloody pieces. "I know that Uncle Arthur and I won't let them take me either," Lily said as she stepped into the center of the kitchen. The two muscled men ran into the kitchen entrance and stopped when they saw Lily. "Girl we don't want to hurt you, but you are coming with us," one of the muscle guys said. Lily glared and saw that Ryan was about to split them into shreds with his claws. "I wouldn't touch me if I were you, because my friend will kill you," Lily said smirking. Her cold emotionless self was resurfacing from her past as she glared at the men in front of her. The sweet and kind Lily that Arthur and Bobby had brought out was starting to shrink back into her shell, and the cruel and silent Lily was breaking free again.
