(A/n) I changed a bit the first chapter so I would recommend you to read it 'cause the rest of the story will have more sense in the future.

~Chapter 21~ Back to the Past
'Lucy's POV'
I watched the sky, full of stars. Dan was slowly rising up, towards the Moon until I said to put me down. He looked at me with his blood red eyes. I don't know why, but his eyes seemed really familiar now, it's not because I already saw them in the park, it's something else, and now, when he got more muscular, I had a feeling like I saw him before (not counting the park), but one thing I could tell for sure, he was confused.
"Why?" He asked, but I didn't say anything 'cause my eyes told him the answer. He put me back on the ground and I went home, until he spoke again, "Wait," he said, "Where are you going?" he asked me and then some flashback hit my head. I turned towards him and took a few steps back, "No..." I whispered, "It can't be..." I just hoped he didn't hear me...
"What can't be?" Dang it, he heard me... Some small tears started to run down my face, "Y-you k-killed him..." I managed to say, I didn't know how or why, but he killed him when I was seven.
Dan's eyes changed from confusion into shock and then into the fear. "No! I didn't kill anybody! T-T-that... That can't be true!" He raised his voice a bit to prove his point. "I'm sorry, but it is..." I said and ran back home.
I went into the house and without any word or sign that I'm back I went into my room, sat on my bed and started to cry... He was there, fighting himself? And one of him killed my older brother...
*Flash back*
'Lucy's POV'
I was seven years old... I was at Amity for the family weekend, it was my father's idea. He wanted to bring his family together. My mom was working in the real estate agency so she was always on the phone, and my older brother, well... He is just like every ten years old boy... He would always play some stupid video games and babbled about some bikes, more video games, computer games and so on, but I still liked to play with dolls and most of the things what normal girls do at my age.
"Alright, we are finally here!" My dad said with joy when he got out of the car, I could finally stretch my legs after a two hours of driving, that's a really long time for a seven year old girl that is stucked with her brother on the back seat that's playing annoying video games.
My dad looked around and all what he saw is my mother, that is talking on her phone, my brother still playing video games and me looking around confused and bored.
"I thought that we are on the vacation and not on some mobile party," my dad said.
"Oh... That's absolutely perfect!" My mom said, still talking with someone on the phone, at least that's a good start, she would always ignore us at the situations like this one...
"Wait? Really?" My dad asked and my mom gave him a confused look, "Just... Can you please excuse me for a moment? Thank you on the understanding," she said and turned to my dad, "About what were you talking about?" She asked and it looks like I was wrong, it looks that my mom didn't change even a bit.
My dad glanced at her before a realization came into his head. Anger boiled inside him and he snapped both of my brother and mom's mobiles.
"HEY!" My mom and brother shouted at the same time and then looked at each other.
"Ok... I think that we should slowly start walking towards the hotel..." my dad said and I wasn't happy with that, I hate to walk, "But daddy, can't you just drive us to the hotel?" I asked.
"Yeah... And I'm not going anywhere where dad goes, if he doesn't give me back my mobile!" My brother, of course, needed to add something.
My mom glared at my brother, "That's not the way to talk with your father, young boy! I'm sure that your father had a reason to take away our mobiles," my mom said and then looked around to see if Brian, my dad, was looking in her direction. On her luck, Brian was putting our stuff out of the car. She quickly took out her other mobile that she have hidden in her black boot, huh... Who knew?
"Ok... I think that's all of it." My dad said and turned around. What he saw next really disappointed him. He knew that Margaret had full hands of job, but this was just too much for him.
"Margaret, the phone, now..." he said and snapped her second phone from her hand and then took another one that was in her pocket. Now I really got scared... It looks like daddy is having some magical ability...
"Daddy! Daddy! How did you know that mom had a another mobile in her pocket?" I asked and he just smiled, "Let's just leave it a secret, ok?" He said and I looked at his eyes, "Are you a fairy?" I asked and for some reason everyone smiled around me...
"Well... Let's go with that..." he said and I smiled, "Can you grant me a wish?" I asked, I would really like a pony! After that, my dad was really quite until he finally decided to speak, "Ok... What do you wish, my dear?" He asked and my smile grew wider and sparks were dancing in my eyes. "I wish to have a pony, to live happily ever after and to have some friend that would care about me when I got older!" I shouted in his ear. I didn't have a lot of friends since my family was moving every two months because of mom's 'job'. She needs to ruin everything! I just wish that some things will change in the future...
My dad gave me a warm smile, "So you wished it, so shall it be..." he said and I hugged him...
-Line break-
"We're here!" My dad sang happily as he went into the room of the hotel. We threw all of our things on the floor...
When I trew my stuff that I was carrying on the floor, I heard some strange sound and after that had some feeling like someone or something was watching me. I turned around to see if something was behind me, but I didn't see anything.
"What's wrong, sis?" My brother, Dave, asked me. It looks like he noticed my change in attitude. "I just have a feeling like someone is watching us," I said and he looked behind me and wa
lked closer to the place where I turned my head right after he asked me what's wrong.
"I don't see nothing," he said, "But it could be ghosts... Just imagine if this room is haunted! We can become a famous ghost busters! Just imagine the glory!" He said and I got scared... This room, haunted?! This won't end good...
My brother was staring at one place until I noticed that something moved behind the plant that was in the left corner of the house and then some big man showed with... Um... I do not know how to describe him... He had white flames instead of hair, eyes that were colored as blood, pointed ears, blue skin, some weird suit with some DP symbol and when he smiled I saw fangs...
"Where are you going?" He asked me when he noticed that I was slowly backing away, not noticing that my family was standing in the right corner of the room, scared to death...
I was silent until he screamed, "Lucy! Get behind me! NOW!"
I was wondering about what did he talking about until I turned my head and boy was I surprised when I saw that in this room was one more strange man, that was looking exactly the same way as another, just much more scarier. Not thinking about the consequences, I ran behind the man.
"I see that you didn't change even a bit... You are maybe look as me, but you are even not twice as powerful..." The other, scarier man spoke to the man that I'm behind... This starts to get a bit confusing... Let's start to call the man that I'm standing behind a Man One and the other one Man Two.
"Your time is up, the same goes for the rest of the world," Man Two said.
"That will never happen, not while I'm standing here," the Man One replied and I noticed that the fight between both of them will start soon, so I started to walk away from both of them, but unfortunately, I didn't know where to go so I slowly started to walk towards my parents, but to do that I needed to walk across the room that will soon become the battlefield.
"So let the dance begin," the man said and some green light started to dance around the room. Somehow, I managed to come to the corner of the room where my family was, but as the battle goes on and the green light was still dancing. The Man Two came in front of us and when the Man One shot another green light, the Man Two dodged it at the last moment and the light was coming straight towards me. "Lucy! No! Move!" Dave screamed, but I was to scared to move.
The last thing that I remember is the green light disappearing, Dave on the floor and my parents cry...
"Dave! Nooooo!" My mom screamed and dad hugged her. Tears started to run down his face.
I crouched next to my brother and poked him into shoulder five times, "Dave? Are you ok?" I asked and saw that he is not waking up, "Dave? Please wake up..." I said, but nothing...
"Your brother is just sleeping... I'm really sorry because of that..." I turned towards the strange voice, it was Man One. I looked in his eyes and all what I saw is sadness and you can clearly see in his eyes that he is sorry. "I-I need to go... She was right..." he added something what didn't have any sense to me and right away when he was ready to leave, Man Two interrupted him, "Aw... Leaving so soon? Why? And we just started to having fun! Now... Let's kill the girl," he said and my eyes widen.
"No!" Man One screamed and flew towards the Man Two and they both just disappeared. I was starting at the place where I last time saw them and then I turned back to my brother, "He is only sleeping..." I whispered to myself, he is only sleeping...
-End of flashback-
Still Lucy's POV
I lay down in my bed, still crying for my brother. He was a hero and maybe I didn't know it before, but now I know it. Forever sleep means that person died. My brother sacrificed his life for mine and that green light that shot him was ecto-ecto-ray, fired from Dan. There are only two things that are not going in my head, how come that there were two Dan's at the same time, but that event changed my life and I got really interested in ghosts because of two reasons; my brother is maybe still up there, as a ghost and those eyes, after Dan killed my brother, they were full of sadness and you could clearly see that he is sorry...
(A/n) First of all, I think that we need to give Dave a minute of silence for his bravery and sacrificing himself for Lucy...
*time passes*
Ok... We just found out a small piece of Lucy's past and I must say, it's a sad one, but you probably figured out that there is some time traveling involved, what means that we will probably see Clockwork. And what's this... Two Dan's?! Stay tuned to find out!
PS. Sorry if there is more mistakes than usual, but I'm now really busy!
