Chapter 10: Kat's Plan

Meanwhile in the cells the gang were waiting for what felt like forever. Stretch did not know what to do anymore. He wanted to be with Casper right now more then anything. His poor nephew had been raped and he was not there to protect him. He feels like he has failed with protecting Casper. James looked at Stretch with sadness in his eyes. He was not taking what happen to Casper well. He could not blame him for being mad as hell. He would kill anyone that rapes his beloved daughter. She was his everything, and no one would hurt her that way like they did with Casper. "What are we going to do boys? How are we going to get out of this trap and save Casper?" Stretch asked them. Fatso and Stinkie did not know what to do. They just wanted to get Casper away from that little shit as fast as they could.

Amy and Kat were talking about the lord. "How did you know it was him?" Kat asked her.

Amy looked at her mother and gave her sad smile. "Your older self knew that he never crossed over. You know why he won't cross over right Kat? He must have already told you." Amy asked. Kat looked at her for a second and gasped. She knew all long that he was not happy with his afterlife. How could she not see that he needed more then ever? But she was too busy to even care to notice that he was in pain and needed help. She looked to the trio who were busy trying to think of a way out then listening to what the girls were talking about.

"All for them. I cannot believe it. He turn this way for them. But why don't you want them to know Amy?" Kat asked her. Amy made sure that the trio did not hear her when she lead in too Kat.

"I am afraid that they will stop me and Mal from trying to save our time. He has changed to something so terrifying that all the ghosts of Friendship are sacred of him. He must be stopped no matter what. The only way to stop him is too force him to cross over. But I feel that they will be too blind by pride and love in him to truly see what he has become." Amy said to him.

"I do not understand why he has to devour Casper for? Would he cross himself over if he tried to do that?" Kat asked Amy. But before Amy could say anything Malachi answered the question.

"Well Kat you see, he is only half of a ghost. The night that he devours Spooky he ripped his friendly side out of him. When he was scaring humans he would get sick to his stomach about he was doing. He had no one left to help him. The trio had crossed over and you move out with dad and had Amy. Grandpa moved out of Whipstaff from not able to pay the bills on time. All he had left was himself; he was truly lost soul at this point. Poil and Spooky tried to help him but he was too far-gone for them to bring back the ghost that he once was. The night that he did this horrible act not just to Spooky, but to himself destroyed him. It gave him a rare ghost cancer that makes the light force him to cross over. But if he devours a pure soul it will give him sometime to find the cure. Once he does that then there is no way to stop him. He will destroy everything or anyone in his path." Malachi said to Kat. Kat could not believe what she was hearing. Her dear friend being all alone and going crazy to have those idiots love him. So he could make them proud that he finally was what they wanted. She wanted to punch their heads into something for being assholes.

"Mal you are forgetting something." Amy said to him. Mal looked at her not knowing what she was talking about.

"What are you talking about Amy?" Mal asked her. Amy put head down with her eyes filled with sadness.

"If he devours Casper whole then he will be a whole ghost once again. Casper's friendly side will not be able to stop his dark soul from taken him over. If that happens then your time and yours are doomed. He will destroy all that Casper once loved. Please we must come up with a plan to stop him. I do not think Poil will be able to help us. He will keep her under lock and key from now on until he devours Casper's soul. We must come up with a plan." Amy said to her. Kat knew that the bars were ghost proof so that the trio could not get out of them. But she could. She saw the keys just sitting right there waiting for the fleshies to take a hold of them.

"Hey Stretch. I have an idea." Kat said to him. The leader turned around to look at Kat she got up and went right to him.

"What is your idea kid?" He asked. She rolled her eyes at him. She hated the fact that he still called her a kid when she was almost going to be 30 in a few years. She was adult not a kid anymore. But she did not want to fight with him right now. She wanted to get to Casper and help him out of this horrible mess. Fighting with his uncle was not going to help him at all.

"Right now I will ignore the fact that you just called me a kid again. I have told you that I am not a kid anymore and to stop calling me that." Kat said pulling her arms cross her chest. Stretch looked at her and gave her a small smile. Kat looked at him shocked that he smiled at her. Stretch put his right hand on her left shoulder; she looked up at him not knowing what to do.

"Sorry Kat, I just seen you when you were 12-year-old brat and now look at you are 27-years-old adult who is going to be taking a big step in your life. You see I have never seen Casper grow up like I did with you. I just cannot stop calling you a kid cause your dad and we raised you. I know it sounds corny but deal with it kid. Even when you're have the brats over there I will still call you a kid, no matter what." Stretch said giving a slap on her back. Kat went forward a little and did not know what to say to the leader. Sure they had been a pain to each other, but Stretch was the one that taught her how to fight Amber to get her to back off of her. Sure she was suspended for three days for fighting, but she felt great and Amber never made fun of her again. But she got grounded from dad for fighting. That was the only time that she taught Stretch was awesome. But there was no way that she would say that to him.

"Fine, whatever just do not go all soft on us ok. Now they left the keys there where I can reach them. I take a hold of them and we will be on our way." Kat said to him. Stretch wanted to tell her off for calling him soft but he will wait when this was all over with. He looked to the gate and saw the keys.

"Man the ghost needs to hire some goons with a working brain. Who the hell would leave something that a person can grab. Go for it kid." Stretch said to her. She went up to the bars and pushed her right arm as far as she could go. At first she taught that it was not going to work. But she got a hold of them and pulled them into the bars. When she turned around the trio were smiling at her. Her dad gave her the thumbs up. Amy and Mal were smiling at her also.

"Good job for a bone-bag. Now what are you waiting for put that key in the lock and lets go get Casper." Fatso said giving Kat a big smile. Kat went to the bars and put the key into the lock. She heard the click and the cell doors opened.

"Good now lets go." Stinkie said as they began to run out of the cell. They were all most to the door when the guards caught them. Kat was feeling sick that they had gotten caught so fast. The guards started laughing at them.

"Well the boss was right that they would fall for the trap. I guess we will have to go get our so he can have a chat with you. Now lets get them into the great hall. Our boss will be devouring that brat in there. He wants you all to see Casper McFadden's last time on this plain." The guards said as they made their way into the great hall. They passed Samantha who was closing the door to the lab. She looked at them with no expression on her face.

"Hey Desjardins, go tell the boss that they tried to escape from the cell. Hurry up we does not have all day." They said laughing at her. She hated them but she could not say anything at all to them. She may be his girlfriend but she was not the lady of the house. To the guards she was nothing and she and them both knew it well.

"Do you know were our lord is Berry?" Samantha asked. He looked at her and gave her a smile.

"Yeah he was taking care of Poil for betraying him. He is in his room with her right now. Have fun Sammy girl." Berry said laughing at her. The other gave Berry a high four at what he said. She just looked at the two not knowing what they were laughing at. She floated to their room and went through the door.

Samantha could not believe what she was seeing her love was making love with Poil. She had felt the world around her fall apart. Her heart if it beat again would have broken at what she was seeing. Poil was crying on her pillow as the Lord was having his way with her. Samantha had tears coming down her face as she was trying to find her voice to speak to him. "M-My l-l-love. T-the guards-s ha-ve t-the p-p-prisoners i-in t-the g-g-great h-hall. T-They a-a-are w-w-waiting f-for y-you." Samantha said trying so hard not to fall apart in front of him.

The lord looked at Samantha with a smile on his that he only gave her when they were making love. "Good I was wondering what was taking them so long. Now that I am done with Poil I can go tell them who I am. Oh Samantha I want you to take care of Poil for me. She may be a little weak from my fun. Now love why are you crying?" The lord asked her.

Samantha could not believe that he was asking her that. She wanted to hit him for not being faithful as she was to him. But she knew that would only get her in trouble. She had felt bad for Poil. But there was nothing she could do to help her. "I am sorry my lord I am just shocked and a little hurt that you did this to Poil. Do you love me anymore?" Samantha asked him.

He looked at her with a smile. "I love you Sammie, but I needed to teach her a lesson. And she was fun to play with. But soon I will be strong to destroy anyone who gets in my way. I want you in the hall in thirty minutes with Poil. I want her to see destroy Casper once and for all." The lord said to her.

Samantha gave him a sad smile with her tears coming out of her eyes. He put his hands on her face and gave her kiss on her lips. "Now stop the crying and do as I say. If you do then we can have some fun and I will make you my queen when I taken this world. Do you understand, Samantha Desjardins?" The lord said taking a hold of her face and tighten his hold on her face. Samantha cried in pain from what he was doing. She knew she had to tell him that everything was fine and that she was not upset with him. But she was upset and could not believe what she was thinking. She wanted to leave him and never come back. She was going to Casper's kindness to heart and do the unthinkable thing, stop her love, no her ex-love from devouring the boy. She looked at her lord with her tears dried smiling at him.

"Yes I understand love. I will not fail you. My love for you will only make me be successful in my goal to see your goals come true. Now give me a kiss before you go." Samantha said to him. The lord gave her a smile and pulled her into a powerful kiss. They stayed like that for what felt like an hour but it was only for a few seconds. He pulled away from her giving winked at her and floated to Poil who was still crying and shaking form what happen to her.

"Now Poil you will behave or I will do that again. I told you that I would have my way with you. Enjoy what I had done to you Pearl Anderson." He said as he went passed Samantha giving her a slap on her butt. She gave him a smile and waited for him to leave the room.

When she knew that he was away from the room she went to Poil who looked to her with fear and sadness in her eyes. "I am sorry Samantha. I told him to stop buy he would not, I am so sorry." Poil said to her. Samantha pulled her into her arms and rubbed her back with her hands.

"It is ok Poil you are not to blame. We must stop him. I do not understand why he is telling them the plan. Do you know why he is doing this Poil?" Samantha asked her. Poil looked at her shocked that she was going to stop the one she loved so much.

"Are you really going to stop him Samantha? Or is this just a trick so your lord can hurt more ghosts?" Poil asked her. Samantha understood why she was being like this. But she had to get Poil to believe her.

"I am telling the truth. My head was telling me this whole time that he was not right and that I should stop him. But my heart was telling me that he was my soul mate. I wanted to believe that I had found the love that I was not allowed to have in life. Now just seeing what he was doing to you broke my heart. Now what to do, Casper is ready for him to be devoured and the guards are around him. But what I still do not understand why he wants to see the others." Samantha said.

"Because he wants to see if the trio are proud of him." Poil said to her.

Samantha looked at her not understanding what she was talking about. "What do you mean Poil?" Samantha asked her. Poil was about to say what she was talking about when the guard named Berry came into the room.

"The lord wants you both in the hall right now. Wow! You two are having some fun are you. Damn Sammy girl you like to go on both sides, I see why the boss puts up with you." Berry laugh as he saw the girls face went as red as red paint. This is one of the reasons that she hated this ghost so much.

"Shut up Berry, we will be there soon." Samantha said to Berry and letting go of Poil. He gave them one more look and left the room trying not to laugh. They both looked at each other and tried to smile at another but it did not work. Poil got up from the bed and fixed her hair and floated to the door.

"Let's go Samantha you will soon find out what I mean." Poil said to her.

Samantha nodded her head at her and the two girls left the room and went down to the hall. "What about Jacob?" Poil asked.

"He is in the hall with Casper. He wanted to be there for him since he was not there for Michael." Samantha said. Poil put her head down.

"Poor thing I hope he will be able to move on without his brother there for him." Poil said.

"I hope so too Poil. I hope so too." Samantha said as they floated to the hall.

They had finally gotten to the hall and saw Amy and Malachi tied up in a chair next Kat and Dr. Harvey who were also tied up. The trio where in front of the lord held by strong chains that no ghost could break from. A few feet away from the trio was Casper who was tied down to the table unable to move. He was awake with fear in his eyes. Jacob was next to Casper holding onto his hand for support. The lord turned around and gave Poil and Samantha a wonderful smile. "Good you two have finally come. Now Samantha you next to Casper, and Poil you sit in this chair." He said to them. They both went to the spots that he pointed them to. As soon as Poil sat down chains clamp down on her wrist making sure that she could not move at all. He smiled at her knowing that she was not going to be able to do anything to stop him from his goal.

"Now I should tell you a little about me. And how I came to be what I am. You see I am someone you know very well. Someone you have knew for so long." The Lord said.

"I know who you are! You are the milk ghost guy that comes and steals our newspaper. I knew you would want revenge for me throwing that bucket of worms on your head." Fatso said giving a smile that had just found who the lord was. The lord just looked at him like he was out of this world. Stinkie just shook his head at his younger brother not knowing to hit him or to tell him he was a moron.

"Fatso shut the hell up! He is not that damn ghost. Listen punk if you do not let my nephew go then you will have me to deal with." Stretch said giving him the glare that made his brothers and Casper shake with fear. But the lord did not even bat an eye at him. He just laughed at him. That made Stretch even madder then he was. "What the hell is so funny you little-

"Now Uncle Stretch, you should really not be calling me names." The lord said to him.

"Who the hell you do think you are calling me that." Stretch yelled at him. This ghost was really something thinking that he could call him that. Those blue eyes look so funny to him like had seen them before. He looked too Casper who turned his head to look at his uncle. Stretch could not believe what he was seeing. Their eyes were the same color and shape. It could not be, no this could be. He would not believe that this was his nephew.

He took his eyes off of Casper to look at the ghost in front of him. "Just tell me who you are?" Stretch asked him. He was hoping that he would say anyone else's name then the one that he was thinking that it was.

"Come on now Uncle Stretch, I think you know who I am. Come on just say it. You never know you may be way off." The lord said giving him an evil smile. Stretch took a breath even though he had not lungs to take in the air that he just took. It was the only thing that could help him say the word that was on the tip of his tongue.

"Casper, your name is Casper McFadden, nephew of the Ghostly Trio." Stretch said looking at the lord.

The lord smiled at him. "Good boy you figured it out." The lord said giving him a smile.
