Samantha froze, staring at the figure who was now making his way through the doors to the great hall. Why? Why did he insist upon stalking her. even in death he kept a tight hold upon her. Gliding away from the window, Samantha wished for life, if she were alive she could leave this accursed school, the school that held the memory of her death. Samantha stuck her head through the wall, listening as professor Handroll introduced 'Professor Cole DeRossi.' Samantha almost laughed at the irony, here he was, a healthy and happy twenty year old, and here she was, a dead and tortured seventeen year old ghost.
Samantha pulled her head out of the wall and began pacing, a pastime that had held her attentions for a good part of her life as a dead girl. What else was there to do with eternity.
Samantha faintly heard the sound of hundreds of feet making their way out of the great hall. Samantha wondered what the boy who had come to her tower was doing. In a way, Samantha missed boys, they had constantly been following her when she was alive. Samantha scowled, but hey had only wanted her as a prize, a trophy that showed they alone could capture the most beautiful girl in the school. They'd all been the same, all except Marcus, he had captured her mind. Oddly enough their relationship had started as result of a debate over the Goblin wars. Of course, they had never been free to be together, all because of Cole.
Tall dark and handsome, he was every girls dream, he was Samantha's dream. At least he had been until he had become possessive, constantly hanging over her, never letting her talk to other guys. He was a prison, one that would go so far as to kill her to keep her.
Samantha shook her head and frowned as footsteps sounded on the stair. Standing straight, her dress fluttered softly in an nonexistent breeze as the footsteps paused in the entrance to her room.
Samantha waited, knowing who it would be.
"Hello Samantha." He came into view, black robes swirling around his legs as he leaned against the doorframe. "I've been looking for you."
