Cross waited impatiently, every second seemed like a whole minute and each minute seemed like a whole hour. He looked at the clock, 5…. 4….. 3….. 2…… 1….. And it rang.
A shadowy figure appeared up at the side of the bed, Cross was by now used to all the surprises.
"Hello." Cross said in a bored tone. The figure remained silent. Cross couldn't see much of the figure; he wore a tall hat and fine clothes like the spirit before.
"I am Mana Walker, Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come." a man's deep voice rand through the room.
"I see." Cross said "Where will you take me?" he asked. Mana walked out of the room, down the stairs and out of the house.
"Hey! Wait!" Cross shouted but the spirit just kept on walking. Cross jammed his feet into his night slippers and ran after the spirit but it didn't wait for him. Mana just kept walking. Cross finally kept up with the spirit.
"Where are you taking me?" Cross demanded. He couldn't see much of his fact still. They continued walking until they reached a house.
"Why are we here again?" Cross asked. Before them stood a small grubby house. Lavi's house. The spirit pointed to a window motioning him to look. Cross wiped the window to get a clearer view and peeked inside. The place was torn up all over. Broken chairs, pots all over the place and so was the fire wood. Lenalee was huddled up in one corner sniffing and Kaze was next to her trying to comfort her.
"What happened?" Cross asked and the next thing he knew, he saw the red-headed lad running through him. Again.
Cross growled. This was the last ghost thankfully. He told himself. Before peering in again. Lavi looked around the room in shock before running to his wife.
"What happened?" Lavi shook his wife, "Where's Allen?" Lenalee kept quiet.
"Where is he?" Lavi shouted shaking Lenalee even harder.
"Dad, stop it!" Kaze said loudly pushing Lavi off.
"They came." Lenalee whispered, tears rolling down her cheeks "The loan sharks. They took him."
Cross and Lavi gaped.
"This is all your fault!" Lenalee shouted "If only you listened to me and got a better job, this wouldn't have happened! Cross hasn't paid us for months! Why?"
Cross was shocked. He tore up this family. It was all thanks to him or they wouldn't have to rely on the loan sharks for money.
"Tell me," Cross shook the spirit, "This can be changed, tell me it can be changed!" The spirit gave a slight nod and walked off.
--------------------------------------
"So, he's dead huh?" one man said to his partner. Cross recognized them at once. They were those guys who asked for charity that afternoon.
"I heard." Russell replied drinking his beer.
"Where is his money going to go?" Tapp asked.
"Beats me, all I know is that it's not going anywhere near our organization."
"Yeah." Tapp muttered.
"Who's dead?" Cross asked. Mana kept silent.
-------------------------------------
"What are we doing here?" Cross asked. They were in the church's graveyard for poor people. Everyone knew that. Cross thought he heard sniffing and decided to see where they came from. When he reached the top, a horror awaited him. Anita was crying in front of a tomb stone that showed very clearly:
Cross Marian
"Shall I revive him for you?" a fat man with a weird hat came from nowhere and asked Anita.
"NO!!!!!!" Cross screamed as everything started to disappear.
----------------------------------------------------
Cross woke up in cold sweat. Light shined through the window as Cross wondered, "What day is it?"
