Beetlejuice's point of view

I don't know which one I couldn't believe the most, the one that I can't believe I saw Fly again, or that she was working in The Three-Fates Pub, or that Bartholomew was trying to kidnap her, or probably her sleeping on top of me, while I was sleeping on a patch of grass.

She fell asleep on our way to the island and I didn't want to wake her up when we got there, so I just floated to this small patch of grass, in the middle of the forest, and fell asleep.

I was now awake and watching her breathing patterns as she slept. She seemed so strange when she slept. She looked peaceful and almost, happy. Suddenly I noticed a small glistening tear, pooling at her black eye. I placed my hand on her shoulder and used my other hand to gently brush the tear away from her eye. 'What on earth was she dreaming about? It has to be something sad, for her to be crying.' I thought as I kept watch of her closed eyes.

Suddenly her eyes opened. She didn't get up automatically; she just laid on me, holding onto my jacket tightly. She slowly sat up from where her head was on my chest and looked up at the sky. I watched her and her blank stare. She looked confused, very confused. I accidentally brushed my hand against her thigh and she suddenly looked down at me with her blank stare. I wagged my eyebrows up and down, trying to get a reaction from her.

She pushed herself off of me and was lying beside me instead. She was awake and I had a hundred questions to ask her, but something about the way she looked, made me swallow back my questions, at least for now.

"So," I said as I sat up. "What do you want to eat?"

I waited for her to say something, but nothing came out. She just stared up at the light purple sky.

"Not talking, huh?" I asked. "It's just as well, we both had a pretty hot and sweaty night, last night."

"What?" she asked, her eyes opened wide and less sleepy.

"Now you're listening to me? Why are you looking at me that way? Nothing happened between us." I said as I stood up from the grass. "Such a dirty mind. So, what do you want to eat?"

"Oh,..I'll just have whatever your eating." she said as she sat up.

"Are you sure?" I asked, curling my lips into a grin.

"Sure, why not." said Fly, shrugging her shoulders.

"All right then. I'll go and catch us some grub." I said as I stood up. "Stay here while I'm gone."

I left her sitting there, in the small clearing of trees, and walked into the forest. The one thing that one should know about the Neitherworld forests is that it's like a jungle. Large and exotic looking trees, vines, and large killer flowers growing everywhere.

I was walking for awhile, trying to find a certain tree, when I finally spotted it. It was large and thick, it had vines growing around it, and right on top of the mane trunk there was a large hole. I shoved my hand inside it and pulled out a handful of large blue beetles. I shoved them into my pockets and dug my hand once more into the hollow trunk. I pulled my hand out again and started munching on them.

I took my time getting back and pretty soon I broke into the clearing. I looked around and I saw that Fly wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"Fly!" I yelled out.

"I'm up here!" said Fly's voice.

I looked up and saw her up in one of the trees.

"Don't you dare look up! I don't want you to be peeping up my dress!" she yelled out as she slowly started to make her way back down.

"Too late!" I yelled out to her. I smiled as I saw her jump off the tree and land on her feet. "What were you doing up there babes?"

"I was learning how to fly, like you." she said in a sarcastic way.

"Oh, you mean like this." I said as I hovered over her.

"Show off." she said as she sat under the tree and leaned her back onto the trunk. "So where's breakfast?"

"Oh, here ya go." I said as I pulled out a handful of beetles and waited for her reaction.

Her reaction was surprising and unusual. She looked at it curiously, picked one up, and then shoved it inside her mouth. I could see a leg hanging out from her lips and twitching. She shoved it back into her mouth and kept chewing. She didn't have a revolted look on her face, in matter of fact it looked like she was enjoying it a little bit.

"How was it?" I asked with a little bit of curiosity.

"It was okay." she said as she quickly stuck her tongue out and pulled it back in.

I smiled and decided to sit down in front of her. I allowed the beetles to run around my hand and was soon starting to snack on them. Fly didn't grab a beetle from my hand and instead was staring up at the sky. It was awhile of sitting there and keeping quite when Fly said something that threw me off guard.

"Either you start a conversation in the next five minutes or I'll go exploring." she said, with her eyelids closed.

"All right." I said, pausing for a couple of minutes to think of a conversation starter. "So, why did Bartholomew try to kidnap you?"

"I don't know." she said as she looked down at the ground.

She had a look of confusion on her face, but also she looked a little hurt. "Did you shag him?" I asked.

"No! I didn't. I just went out with him a couple of times." she said as she fiddled with her dress.

"Hm, so why were you at the water park?" I asked, feeling very curious.

"I was going to see Bartholomew, but he wasn't there. So, I figured that since I was there, I could have some fun."

I laid down on the soft grass and looked up at the sky. "How did you get here?" I asked, wondering if she would even answer my question.

"I don't really know how I came to the Neitherworld. All I remember was that I was falling, and from there I blacked out."

"So you came here by accident?"

"Yes," she whispered, as she suddenly stood up, and started towards the bushes.

"Hey, where are you going?" I yelled out at her, starting to feel a little irritated.

"Leave me alone." she said, before suddenly running into the forest.

"Shit," I said, as I started to run after her. 'That stupid girl! She's running away from the only person who could keep her safe. She's probably suicidal.' I thought as I kept running after her.

It was awhile, before I finally stopped. I felt really out of breath, I wasn't used to running for that long. I looked around a little bit and realized that I was deep in the forest. Trees, vines, and bushes surrounded me and I felt really irritated. "When I get my hands on that girl, I'll ring her little neck."

Suddenly I heard rustling in the bushes. I turned my attention towards it and suddenly heard more rustling behind me. I turned back around and suddenly started hearing someone whispering. More whispers were joining the first, suddenly I heard a loud cry, coming from my left side. I turned and saw a creature, wearing a large tiki mask and running at me with a spear in his hand.

I quickly moved out of the way and tried to punch the creature in the stomach, but instead I hit his large wooden tiki mask. My hand hurt a little bit, but it didn't matter since I noticed that he slit my side. I held my side and could feel the blood oozing out.

My attention was brought back to the creature as I watched it yelling out into the air, while holding his bloody spear up towards the sky. Suddenly hordes of creatures that looked exactly like the first one ran out of the bushes and towards me. Very soon I was surrounded by tiki masked creatures and I had no way out. Their spears were pointed too far out for me to fly out of there and I couldn't use any juice, because of my wound. My eyes wanted to close, but I had to keep them open. They were closing in on me and I don't know why I thought of it, or why I said it. But I did.

"Callousfly!"

Fly's point of view

I didn't like it that BJ was asking me all of those questions. I ran away from him, when he asked me if I came to the Neitherworld by accident. I had to lie to him, so then I didn't have to explain everything to him. Beside's it was best that I was the only one that knew about Meara and Neara.

I had stopped running, when I thought that BJ couldn't possibly find me, and now I was walking. I walked a little ways and didn't notice the large vines that were in my way. I fell down onto the forest floor and looked up at the vines. "Stupid vines, man this place is like a jungle." I said as I looked around.

Suddenly I heard someone crying out, as if they were going to battle. I stood up and looked towards where the sound came from. I waited and soon heard another.

"BJ?!" I yelled out, feeling a little scared. I was about to say something else, but suddenly I felt something strange happening to me. My entire body felt tingly and numb, then I felt a huge burst of pain in my right arm. I looked down at it and noticed that the carved letters in my skin were glowing neon purple. My eyes widened as it slowly faded away, suddenly my body jerked towards where the cries were coming from.

"What the hell!..." I screamed as my body suddenly was running towards the cries. My body was no longer mine. I was strained to move it myself. It was like I had no control over it. It moved all on its own and I couldn't do anything, but watch as the trees went past me. I jumped over a bush and suddenly saw a whole bunch of short people wearing large wooden tiki masks and pointing there spears towards something that they were swarming around. As my body was running closer to them, I could feel my hand closing over the handle of my dagger. I pulled it out of its sheath and I held it at the ready. Suddenly my body lunged at one of the people and stabbed it in the back. The person screamed as I pulled it out of its back and watched the wound starting to turn black and crumble. My body lunged itself into the swarm, cutting and slicing the air, and trying to keep them away.

I came to the center of the swarm and could suddenly feel the strain on my body gone. I looked down at the ground and saw Beetlejuice on his knees, with his hand pressed to his side, and blood dripping off of his hand.

"BJ," I said as I knelt by him.

He looked up at me and gave me a weak grin. "How did…Ugh," said BJ as he gripped his side tighter.

I watched as the creatures surrounded us and were pointing their spears at me. I held my dagger out at the ready, to strike if needed. Suddenly the creatures started coming at me with their spears and I suddenly felt something happening to my dagger. I felt something starting to flow out of me and into it, making the metal stretch out and turning itself into a long sword. I held it in my hands and started stabbing the creatures coming near us.

More came in and were attacking me. I struck another one down and looked in back of me. BJ was now standing by me, with his hand still on his wound. He looked like he was having a hard time with it. Suddenly one of the creatures to BJ's right, attacked. My body reacted and I was instantly blocking the creature's blows. I quickly destroyed it and was about to kill another one, when I suddenly felt BJ's arm wrapped around my waist.

A huge rush of air went past my face and the ground was far away. We were a few yards away from the tiki creatures when I noticed that we were going back down onto the forest floor. My feet touched the soft grass and I could feel BJ's body pressed against my back.

"I need to rest." he said as he fell down onto the green grass.

"Let me see your wound." I said as I knelt down and pulled his bloody hand away from the deep gash. He didn't seem to mind, in matter of fact, he was asleep. I looked at it and saw that it wasn't as bad as it might have seemed. It wasn't very deep and there was just allot of blood. Suddenly a strong scent of vanilla filled my nostrils. I looked down at the blood and smelled it. It smelt just like vanilla. I took one of my bloody fingers and licked the blood off of it. It tasted like it too, but there was something else that I could taste. It was sweet and it made me feel calm and energetic at the same time.

I suddenly realized what I had just done and quickly washed my hands in the small stream that was running down and over the small rocks. The blood washed off quickly and I could tell that I felt horrible at what I had done.

"What's wrong with me? Why did my scar glow like that? Why did I run in to save him like that? How did I make my dagger turn into a sword? Why did I taste his blood?" I asked myself as tears were rolling down my cheeks and were falling into the stream. I looked down at the blade in my hand. It was back to being a dagger and I could see that it looked normal.

"What's happening to me?"
