Old and new mistake

Spring arrived fast to the land and Lydia began to notice that Beetlejuice slowly stopped going home to the road house. He only went there when Lydia made him do it. Sure, he was still a troublemaker and a pain to the local, so when Lydia thought he needed to blow off some prank-steam, she made him go back to the Neitherworld. More than once she have to bail him off a prank there went too far, however they could always laugh of it when the danger was over.
He most of the time slept with her, so long Ella didn't have anything against it, she allowed him to stay. Beside Ella quickly figured out that Beetlejuice was a very amusing person and often told Lydia that her boyfriend was 'a good way to kill the boredom there often came in their simple school life'.
They did spent much time in the Neitherworld, but she and Beetlejuice still didn't show anyone they was a couple, but she has a feeling that Jacques and Ginger has see something between the two of them, but if they completely knew it or not; they kept it for themselves.
The exam was not so hard as Lydia thought it would be and she came out with really good grades to her own joy. Even Ella came out with good grades, even she hasn't understand the half of what they have been making in the year.
The year on the photographic school was over and Lydia couldn't wait to the summer vacation to be over so she could come back, she discovered she really liked that school, even if she got another rival who could be a perfect friend to Claire. sadly Lydia and Beetlejuice quickly discovered that Louise was a bit harder to scare than Claire was, but at least she kept her distance because she knew that Lydia could pull a punch there really hurt. Lydia and Ella decided trying to be roommates again next year, for as Ella said to Lydia;

"there was not one boring day with those two around", plus they both enjoyed each others company.

####

At home with her parents Lydia unpacked all her stuff (and some new she have brought or got over the year) out and putted them back in her room. She looked bit around... it have not changes much through the time. To be honest, the whole house still looked like itself. She couldn't stop thinking if her parents someday didn't want the house anymore... she will have it. It has been a haunted house in soon 7 years and it was here she for the first time came in contact with a Ghost.
Just a ghost? surely not
This ghost have been her first true friend, he have been at her side thought thick and thin, they maybe have been fighting and yelled at each other but noting seemed to ruin their friendship, not even his obnoxious greed for money and poor social skills. It was also in this house she discovered that he would be her first true love.
He was all to her. A friend. A comrade. A partner in pranks... a lover.
She sighed. He has make her feel alive in every way, with those adventure and scams he have drag her into. He was truly the ghost with the most, especially for her. It did sadden her a little that she could never have a family with him. He couldn't be father to her children and she couldn't bear his children.
He said to me that no dead person could give life... but why does he so need air and can get a beating heart when he is with me? She thought Was it really possible that he didn't know everything about the Neitherworld that he claimed? It was so confusing and her brain began to hurt, but she has one thought there continued to spin in her head and with a loud sigh, she sat down on her bed with one thought in her mind
B.J.. you are not a easy man to figure out! She groaned of frustration. She looked at her clock and instead seeing the coffin of Dracula she saw a black book lay in front of her clock. She took it up.
I don't remember to have a book like this she read the name:
"Laws and punishment of the Neitherworld". It was the book prince.. ups King Vince gave her. It didn't look at all exciting and knew from experience that the laws of the Neitherworld have many resembles to her world.
She knew though, that Beetlejuice taking her in the Neitherworld wasn't quite legal, because a breather there knew the exits something beyond dead. It could be seen as insane if others knew she spend her time in the Neitherworld or in her case, belong more to the land of the dead. But Lydia was glad for what both worlds could give her and she did make sure that Beetlejuice behave a little. Maybe that's why they looked through fingers with her, because it seems she was the only one who could 'control' the Ghost with the Most.
There have been times where she and Beetlejuice have taken others to the Neitherworld. But they actually didn't know they were in the Neitherworld. So been a breather in Neitherworld most almost be the same when a ghost is in the Outworld. So long they don't do something too stupid or make a scene, it could be okay. Or maybe it was different for ghosts, after all Boris to Dead almost scared her parents to dead. Maybe ghost was allowed to be seen, so long they are 'haunting' a house. She don't know and she wasn't going to ask Boris, wherever he is after she and BJ 'acted' him away. She smiled for herself. She and Beetlejuice was really something for themselves, she has to admit that.

"Lyydiaaa!" called Delia with a singing voice "there are someone dooown here there want to sssee you!"

"coming mother!" she called back and without further speculation, she laid the book away from her. She could always read it later... when she has absolutely nothing to do.
She walked down stairs and saw, not really by her surprise that Beetlejuice stood in the door. Now he was permitted by her parents, he more often dropped in as her boyfriend.

"hey babes" he waved "I'm just looking at your mother's paintings" he said almost carefree

"and he said he loves them!" Delia cheered delightful "I just have to paint some more!" she walked determent out to her workshop.

"be careful with your flattering, Beej" Lydia said giggling "it can happen she will try to sell them to you" he smiled malevolent back

"and I will sell them for a higher price in the Neitherworld, her art juuust fits in that place"

"yeah. I remembered. They like it so much that they turn my mom into art!" she laughed and walked over to give him a kiss, he dodge her lips and gave instead her a cheek kiss, much to her surprise.

"Chucky looking" he whispered in her ears. She took a peak out of the window and saw her father outside stood watering flowers, he watching them like a hawk.
"do you think he ever allows me kissing you?" he asked her, smirking over her father's protective nature.

"only when you are married to me" she said teasing to him, to her surprise she saw a weird look in his eyes. He look a little shocked and yet thoughtful. "what?"
why did he get that strange look in his eyes, surly he most know I was only kidding.

"nothing" he avoided her eyes.

"B.J?" she said slow and crossed her arms

"nah. It silly" he kept trying avoid the subject

"Beetlejuice"

"it's nothing. Really" he tried again

"Beetlejuice" this time she use his name as a warning. He finally said in defeat;

"come on babes! Don't send me back" he turned his head away from her, muttering "I still think it's was a stupid joke"

"what?" she asked again

"have I ever told you why I can't say my own name?" he suddenly ask

"no?" she said confused and added "I only think about it once or twice why you couldn't"

"it's a curse" he said and expose his neck to her. To her surprise a some kind of tattoo around his neck appeared. It light up in a bright purple color "a really powerful curse as you can see" Beetlejuice move his hand away from his neck and it slowly disappeared. He most have tricked to appear by his own magic, for it was really first time ever she have seen it.

"really? Is that the reason I have to call you three times?" she asked him, still looking as his neck with wonder

"yup" he agreed "it also that there make sure I be send back for the same reason" he rolled his eyes in a little annoyances "all other ghouls only have to be called once to get out"

"I see. But why that did you get that face, when I mention marriage?" she pointed at his face, he wide his eyes a little.

"the jerks there put the curse on me said that I will get free from it if I get married. It silly, I know" he said trying laugh it off.

"why did they say it, if it was silly?" she blinked confused

"maybe to get my hopes high up.. or to get the last laugh." He shrugged and added with an annoyed tone "You have no idea how frustrated it is not to be allowed to say your own name. I'm not even allowed to write my own name to somebody there don't know me"

"why did they do it?"

"probably to better hold me in a leash. Look how well that turned out" he snorted grinning

marring Beetlejuice and lift his curse... doesn't that mean he don't need me to call him out anymore? She thought Again... he did say it could be a joke they said to him to give him high hopes.
"but if marriage is that there can lift it?-" she wonder out loud

"hmpf! Yeah right lyds" he snorted "me? Get marriage? Not in this afterlife" he most have thought he has offended her or something for he quickly said; "Lyds, I didn't mean that. It just... heh, I will only do it if I chose it myself"

"sure" Lydia shrugged. She pretty much was neutral she got marriage or not. "you know, today you don't have to be married to be a couple" he smiled for this comment and she said more teasing to him "it's okay to be scared of it-"

"I'm not scare over something so silly like that!" he gave back and said more silent "I have just never thought about it"

"like many other things" she giggled

"why you wanna-" Beetlejuice grab her and began to tickle her. She (of course) tried to fight him playfully off. Beeltejuice quickly let go of her when Charles came in and the two of them quick said "hi" to him and they went out before Lydia's father began bugging BJ with how his 'work' is going or some other boring stuff.
"why the long face Lyds?" he asked outside while stretching his own face by the word 'long'. She giggled but turned serious again.

"is the curse cause in other things than your name?"

"no, only that I need someone to call my name three times to get to the Outworld and I can't say my own name" he told her.

"what about literal translations problem of yours?"

"weell.. that was.. something stupid I did to myself years back" he laughed embarrassed

"how?"

"as you already know Lyds. All Neitherworldians can magic, but not all uses them. Because if some idiot tries to expand or playing with them without much knowledge about it, the magic will get unstable" he pointed at himself "just look at me, I'm one big unstable ghost!" he cracked to pieces and said up to her "see what I mean?! because I played wrong with them in a too young afterlife ages and keep expand them until this happen!" she giggled, she couldn't stop, still she helped putting himself together before her parents noticed her boyfriend was in pieces.

Figured he did it to himself!
"can't you at all turn them down?"

"I can if I really want to, but it can have some nasty side effects" he muttered with a shrug.

"like your power already have that" she laughed "I can't count how many time you have put us in trouble, because of your big mouth"

"at least you got a laugh of it or a good reason to yell at me. That's really socks!" he turned into a stinking sock "SEE!?" Lydia was close to collapse because she was laughing so much, Beetlejuice turned back again before Delia saw it. She told them there was dinner.

####

Unfortunately(for her and her father) Delia has been cooking on a new recipe and wanted her family to be the first who tasted it as her personally 'tests subjects'. Lydia and her father already knew this means that the two of them, would later ring for a pizza, just to be sure they will not walk in bed with empty stomachs or worse.
Beetlejuice in the other hand ate it with pleasure and even asked for more. Lydia was forced herself not to giggle, for if Beetlejuice liked it so much only means that Delia's have made something there was NOT edible for the living.

"thanks for dinner, Miss D!" Beetlejuice said with a nice voice, there always make Lydia giggle a little for he sounded so silly with it.

"oh you are so much welcome!" Delia cheered and try to give him a new potion "are you sure you want more of my famous paté?"

"nah, better say no" he said and clap himself on his stomach "have to hold my figure and stuff, you know?" Lydia was close to spit hers drink out because she laughed over what he just said. He didn't have to think over how much he ate, only with a snap with his finger and he could make himself fat or thin. She found it so funny because he acted like he care over how he look like...maybe a little he did.
"well. It is beginning to be late" he raised up from the table "better go"

"go?" Lydia did hear that that he accent the word 'go'. He was up to something

"yeah... car is broken and stuff" he lied really good and began on his tragic story "used my last money to get out here to see you all" he came with his best sad eyes he could act up "I better go and hope the next bus to my home will come"

"can he stay and sleep with us?" Lydia asked quickly.

"no. I drive him home" her father said and stood up.

"don't be silly Charles. Of course he can stay to the next morning" Delia said and look a little sad over his story.

"yeah... on the couch" Charles grumbled

"dad!" Lydia shouted and all look affronted at Charles

"she is right. They have know each other for... how long was it is again?" Delia said thoughtful

"6 years, soon seven" Lydia said, while Beetlejuice counted on his fingers "and been a couple for a year"

"hmm alright" Charles mumble defeated. Beetlejuice face brighten up, but he added harsh "but no funny things"

"suuure mister Chuck" Beetlejuice quickly said, but added when he saw Charles his narrow eyes "eh... Charles"

Lydia said goodnight to Delia and Charles. She was happy over Delia was been so glad for Beetlejuice that she help those two to let him stay. When she closed the door to her room, she smiled sly to him;
"clever Beej"

"it was about damn time they let me stay" he grumbled and lay himself in a more relaxing position in the air. A malevolent grin came on his face "of course for the first thing they know of"

"soo?" she cooed and walk over to the ghost. She took a grip in his tie and took him down on the ground "up to something?"

"loves when you talk dirty with me Babes" he smirked to her and gave her a kiss on her mouth. Lydia tried slowly to take his jacket off, but he stopped her "but I'm not that stupid to do a thing while Chucky have ears and eyes on your room" of pure impulse she look at her door to see his literally translation did something. Nothing happen to her door.
She saw him use his juice to sat a movie on her TV and he said "what about you see a movie or something, while I beat the hay" she didn't even manages to protest, before he lay in her bed, have some hay in his hands and hit himself with it, so he began to snore immateriality.

"sometimes you are really a piece a work, Beej" she mumble with a little mad look at him. To Lydia's frustration, Beetlejuice didn't dare to make a move on her so long her parents was in the house. she could see his point, who knows what her father would do if he saw them…. well together.
True, he couldn't kill the ghost for he was already dead, but he could force Lydia to promise not to see him again and that was worse than the killing part.
So right now, Lydia just watched some monster movies while Beetlejuice was took a powernap. Probably too much out to not notice anything around him. Then the end credits on the movie, Lydia heard that her parents went up in bed. Of course when Beetlejuice was in the house, her father took a peak into her room and went out again when he saw Beetlejuice sleep beside his daughter.
Lydia was really frustrated now. She turned off her TV and heard Beetlejuice snicker, probably not so much out she thought she was;

"he will never let me get near you, huh?"

"nope" she said to him and saw him poke to the wall behind him so the whole room turn soundproof, he crawl over to her and pinned her so he was on top of her

"when that is good he won't hear a thing now" he said with a mischievous smirk. He grabbed her into a fierce kiss and they both began to undress each other. Only in their underwear, he began on the same act he have done so many times before, but he stopped up for a moment and look thoughtful at her.

"what is it?" she panted under his treatment and was quite surprised over he stop.

"I want... to try something" he said slow and some kind of way look scared of it "I want to try to bind my soul to yours" she blinked, he have told her what happen if two persons was not meant to each other.

"B.J... I... I don't know it's a good idea.." she said slow and look unease up in his eyes inhuman living eyes "you know the risk..."

"yeah, I know the risk" he mutter and began to kiss her passionately "but maybe the risk isn't there when is between a living and a dead" she smiled weak, when suddenly she heard a ripping sound. He have ripping the last of her clothes off with his claws

"Beetlejuice!" she said harsh over this stunt, but he just grinned back;

"it was old anyway"

"don't make it a habit" she lay her head back at her pillow, still a little mad at his trick

"then let me try to do this" they both look into each others eyes, he have a determination she have never seen before.

"why...?" she asked him "why are you willing to risk everything?" he look at her with eyes there almost glow now, she was just lost in them, but still heard him say;

"you already know the answer to that Lydia... if I bind my soul to you and yours to mine... we will belong to each other and I will rather have you than anyone else"

Beetlejuice love when he got his will, for the old man(okay, he was maybe a little older, but who cares?) to Charles will never have guess that he took his daughter, right in front of his nose. Under his kisses a thought keep crawling into his mind.
What will happen if I bind my soul to her? I don't think the risk will be the same. Dare I? He look thoughtful at her for a moment

"what is it?" she panted under him, she most have seen his thoughtful face

"I want... to try something" he said slow. Did he dare to make this act? Did he dare to make that risk? Why not try? He could always back down "I want to try to bind my soul to yours"

"B.J... I... I don't know it's a good idea.." she said slow and look unease up to him "you know the risk..."

"yeah, I know the risk" he mutter and began to kiss her passionately. He tried to clam her with his own theory "but maybe the risk isn't there when is between a living and a dead" she tried to smiled and he just couldn't help it. He took him claw-liked finger under her underwear and rip it.

"Beetlejuice!" she was not glad for that stunt. But could she blame him?

"it was old anyway" he said grinning back. That clothes just look odd on her, so why not just make sure she didn't take in back on?

"don't make it a habit" she scowled and lay slowly down again.

"then let me try to do this"

"why...?" she ask him "why are you willing to risk everything?"

I am
he felt a sinking feeling or butterfly in the stomach, when he thought that. His whole body react instinctive over he was determinant to make the act of Soul Bound. It was like his whole body just waited he should think this. He looked at her with a determination he have never felt before;
"you already know the answer to that Lydia... if I bind my soul to you and yours to mine... we will belong to each other and I will rather have you than anyone else" She look at him with big eyes, completely speechless.
He took her closer to him and the touch on her body and vice versa felt more strong and intimate. He never felt anything like it. This strange new felling tune him so much on that he connect with her without a warning, she make a small gasp, but like him it drove her out in ecstasy state.
It will be believed that it make him blind of lust, but funny enough it make him clear-minded and something in his mind told him to finish the act was by a kiss. Beetlejuice learn into her there mourn over the whole deal and tired to kiss her, but he felt something. The soul bound tried to force him to let his facade around his magic go down. Beetlejuice tried first to ignore it and try again to kiss Lydia there only look at him, but the soul bound act keep ripping in him to force the facade down.
Come on! I can do it! He thought to himself angry over the Bound work against him. Was this normal? He really didn't know. Beetlejuice could feel that it took a great deal of his strength to keep fighting against the soul bounds will to force his facade down. He began to pant after air and look at Lydia there just have to look so damn sexy at him. With a frustrated growl he tired with all his strength again. He wide his eyes when he felt that the close he was to make the last act, more broke his facade around his magic down.
I can't... I can't do it! I won't let the facade break down, for that's was the only thing there keep her alive! He quickly move away from her before his facade break down, immateriality after he move away from her, he felt his magic, lust and pure disappointment run though him. Beetlejuice began to shake his head like a wet dog, to clear his mind for the great disappointment he felt.

like him, Lydia has never felt anything like it and only want more of it. She did notice that he more than once tried to kiss her, but she want him to do make it done, she didn't know what will happen if he did kiss her. Lydia began to hear that he gasped after air, to regain his control to some unknown and that was really new. She have never seen him like that ever under their act, but she could really see he was fighting against something.
Suddenly he just moved away from her, making her feel like someone have forgotten her birthday or took a gift away from her before she could see that it was. She felt really disappointed.
Lydia slowly come up on her arms to look at him there keep shaking his head like a wet dog. Maybe to get the intimate feeling of him. First now she realized something there have never accurate to her.
"you are holding back" she slowly said to him. He stop shaking his head and looked very slowly at her with wide eyes.

"why do you think that?" he asked dump

"I could see it" she said silent and a cold brick hit her "you have always hold back, haven't you?" he didn't answer... so she knew she was right "why?" she ask slow he sighed deep and took some of her quilt over him.

"Lydia" he sounded dead serious "tell me what you have seen me do with my juice"

"I have seen you float... and fly" she said not fully knowing what he was up to "turn you head or whole body into people I know. Even into animals. you can turn into vehicle and plains" she thought over what she have seen him do "and ehmm.. you can also make things appear from anywhere"

"morphing. Teleporting of both things, others and myself. I can shapeshift, healing of any injuries, go into dreams and even possession" he listed of serious "this is not something normal Poltergeist can do, mostly can only two or three of those thing I can. Nobody are up in my power abilities" he looked at her "Lydia. I am so powerful, that I can't even control them myself"

"your literally translation?" she asked silent

"yes" he only said. They both sat silent, Lydia took some of her quilt over her, for she was beginning to get cold. He suddenly ask;
"do you know why there are no baby pictures of Donny in my folks house?" she shake slowly 'no' "it because I was the only one who was forced in form as a baby. They only do that, when a ghost are dangerous"
she blinked, she have know him for a good while and he was not that dangerous "Can you see now why I holding back?" she was close to nod 'yes' but it turn into a hesitated 'no'. He sighed again deep "before I met you. Hell, before you was even born, I was with others"

"I know that" Lydia whispered, she had seen him flirt with ghoul women, then she was a kid. It did make a her a little envy, but only in older years it began to hurt to seeing him with others.

"but you don't know what I did to them. I only walk to them because of lust, nothing else" he growled low and looked away from her "no emotion. No binding. Never see them again" he gave her a sidelook "if I let my juice ran wild, you will die of it" that chock her a little, was he really that strong?

"but... did I not ground your magic?" she asked him slow

"Lydia... you only ground half of my magic" he said "rest I keep in bay myself"

"but maybe it different this time. Because you love me-"

"and what happen if you are wrong? What happen if my juice do go haywire and I kill you?" he question her harsh. It make even her question it, he almost looked tenderly at her "no Lyds. I will not risk losing you"

"even if it mean to never satisfy yourself?"

"it a small price to pay" he shrugged sad. Beetlejuice move over to her again and took her into his beating chest, she slowly began to kiss his chest to show her affection. He groan under her kisses to tell her, he love it. "you know babes... I have realized something" he suddenly said, he sounded a little serious again.

"what is that?" she asked him

"before I met you, I have never giving a shit what people thought about me" he said hard, she listen silently "ever since you came into my afterlife, you have make me do things I will never do before" she blinked, did he scolding her?
"you have make me help other, doing stupid things to makes you happy" he look mad at her, but his anger was not truly at her "you have make me be nice to others, dress me into the most stupid thing I can think of and even do the things I hate more than anything. you have make me go soft and do stupid things to please you" he crawled on top on her again and the only thing she could do was look surprised at him
"you have changes me Lydia... and the worst thing is... I can not and will not fight against you" her eyes wide a little when she saw the glow in his eyes again. The intimate touches came back. He tried Soul Bound again "for you already own my soul"
Everything happen so fast. He took her again, but this time he was more demanding and rough. She could barely follow up with him, even he was beginning to pant after air. Beetlejuice lean into her to caught her lips with his, but like last time he stop up. Lydia didn't have to ask him why, she could see it all in his narrow green eyes.
He wanted so badly to please her, to let his own great lust to be sat free, just make her his without thinking on the consequences. Yet... he didn't want to hurt her, he want to hold her alive no matter the cause.
Beetejuice growled of frustrations and she gasped for the pressure she was under his treatment. He growled again this time higher. Beetlejuice tried again to kiss her, but again his lust to please her and his protective side battling against each other. She heard a new ripping sound, he let his frustrations went over her bed by ripping it with his claws. He took one of his hands under her and demanded her to get closer to his face. He look so frustrated and with his lips only few inches from hers, Lydia could feel his lips slightly stokes her, even it could be seen it took great deal of power from him to hold her so close like this and she felt a great power beyond it.

"Beej..." she whispered to him, suddenly something in his eyes just snap, his body could not hold to this anymore. He let go of her and he collapse beside of her. He was dead silent. Lydia hitched after air and she could now feel her body was sour after his treatment. She surely have bruises all over her body the next day, but at least he didn't broke anything. Lydia slowly rested on her arms to look at him there have his face down in the bed. He was completely still. "are you..?" she began

"dammit..." it come slowly from him. He slowly raise his arm to snap with his finger. Both of them got night-clothes on them "I think I'm done for today... or maybe for the next week" he laughed bitter still with his head down in the bed.

"I'm sorry" she said. He finally looked at her;

"don't be babes" he said and gave her a little smile "I'm happy when you're happy"

"I'm still sorry for you" she said again and looked at her bed "but you gotten a really bad habit today. Look what you have done to my bed!"

"heh... ups" he laugh sheepish "I take care of that later"

"hope for you own sake Beej" she narrowed her eyes at him, but still with a smile. She took a better look at her night-cloth. Even that was ripped "will you also do something about my clothes"

"nope"

"Beetlejuice!"

"what?!" he laugh "I didn't like it" Lydia sighted defeated and only rolled her eyes at him. "hm? Hey what is that?" He noticed the black book beside her Dracula clock. She took a look at it too and said;

"a book Vince gave me"

"since when did he gave books out? Do he try to win you heart or something?" he joke and with a long snake-arm he took the book. He read; "Laws and punishment of the Neitherworld... why will he gave you this?"

"maybe to better help you out of trouble?" she teased him and he gave a snort back, while she lay her head on his chest.

"heh, could come in handy" he opened the book and noticed something "did you do this?" one of the pages have a fold in its side, a donkey-ear so to speak

"no" she raised a eyebrow to him, when he didn't close the book "do you want to read it?"

"why not? I'm want to know why that certain side have a donkey-ear" he snickered and began to read it. Lydia keep a eye on his face to look at his big grinning smile, slowly it disappeared and he got a horrifying look in his eyes
"no...no..." Even before she could question him what happen, he jumped up away from the bed, holding himself on his chest like he have a heart-attack

"Beetlejuice?!" she too jumped up when he landed on all four on hers floor, she quickly help him up and to her shock, she felt his heart was stopped. Whatever he have read, it have frighted him so much it have stop his heart "whats wrong?"

"what have I done...?" was the only thing he said. She quickly walk over to take the book up to see what it was there have scared a ghost, where was almost impossible to spook.
She read;

Law #3G86

it is forbidden for a deceased to be involved in any kind of high emotional feelings with a Breather.
Any relationship there a more than companionship will be punish at once if it been noticed in the Neitherworld.

Punishment:

The deceased will be punished by exorcism of second degree.
The breather involved with the deceased will be force to gaze and get 100 years prison after dead.
All who knows to this break of the law will be punish by prison after dead.

Lydia wide her eyes for what she just have read. She couldn't believe it.

"do you know they mean with the exorcism and the part the breather shall gaze?" he asked. When she look at him again he have his striped suit on him again. He slowly come on his feet again. She nodded 'no' slowly. She heard him make fun with exorcism, so in her mind it was some kind of exile from the Outworld.
"it's dead for a dead" he said with pure fear in his eyes "there exit two degree... the first degree... one soul will be totally erase for existing, the soul will never be reborn" he looked really scared at her there too was beginning to feel the same effect at his fear. he continued "in second degree... everyone will forget, like the punish ghost never have existed... my own family will think they only have one son... everyone will forget me... even you, nothing will be there to remind you of me"

"what?" she said almost crying. How could anyone make such a cruel punishment? "no..."

"they will force you to look at me... when they doing it" he began to tremble of fear "and after your dead, they will imprison you for something you can't even remember" the last he said quick. Lydia ran over to hold him, trying to comfort herself though him.

"we will think of something, Beej" she said hoping for a little hope away from this fate "they have not find out. There are still hope"

"no Lydia... there are no hope... we have only one choice" Beetlejuice voice sounded so calm... and hallow. It ran her cold down on her spine to hear him like that. He pushed her gently away. She didn't like the face he have, it was so hollow and cold.
She want to say something to him, but suddenly he let his magic ran through her, he juiced her so she couldn't move. She could only move her eyes and pleaded him, why he did this?

"Your parents will believe that I have rape you. Our act today will help my statement, because I was careless with you" he looked at her body and rip more of her night-cloth in smaller pieces.

no...no don't do this.. she thought, begging him not to do this

"nobody will believe you or the truth" he said cold

no... please Beetlejuice!

"do not try to come back to me. Don't try to call me" he turned his eyes away from her with hash words "for if I just hear my name once over your lips...I will not hesitated to throw myself to the sandworms"

NO... she really began to fight against his magic, he could not do this! He walked close to her and his cold mask disappeared for a moment. He look so sad, in pain and... scared. The mirror behind him, began to crack over his magic and pain

"Farewell Lydia..."

"NOOO!" she screamed with all her might. she broken lose from his magic, but he was already gone, never to be seen from her again.
Her parents heard her and found her crumbled on her room's floor, with with clothes rip on her body. They saw the mirror was completely shattered, her body with great bruises both from his hand and from the mirrors rabidly shattered pieces, even her bed was rip in pieces. Charles and Delia knew it was him there have done them this pain to their beloved daughter, they called the police... and all believed she only was on her rapist side, because she was in shock

so after all... Beetlejuice got his last will...
