SEVERAL MONTHS LATER-and several rumours down the line of a mysterious
ghost at the Aki household (Katrina still is a unknown to everyone except
Karin and Dr Aki. )Why is she a secret? Why does no one know about her? How
can there be rumours if she is unseen? Find out next time ( if I decide to
update this)^_^

It was closing time at the Hopmart and Henry breathed a sigh of relief. He started walking over to the door to close it when Dr Aki and Karin walked inside. 'Great, now what?' He thought irritably to himself. " Hi Henry." said Dr Aki greeting the slightly annoyed clerk with a smile. " Hey Henry." echoed Karin with her normal chirpy voice, although she looked like she was slightly distracted. " Um...not that I want to be rude or anything" began Henry " but it is closing time and..." " Oh no worries....we're not going to be long." said Dr Aki interupting him. " Oh thats good." said Henry sarcasticly, but his comment went right over the head of the busy Doctor and his slightly ditzy neice. Henry stood watching as Karin went around collecting things, humming a tune under her breath. A small smile lit up her face. " Uh....can I help you?" he asked at last as she paused by the chocolate aisle with a small frown wrinkling up her forehead. " Well....I cant remember if she wanted normal chocolate or one with additives like nuts." said Karin innocently, turning to him. " Who?" asked Henry curiously knowing that no one else lived with Dr Aki or Karin. " No one." said Dr Aki slightly annoyed at his neice's forgetfulness. " Oh...oops." said Karin blushing slightly and then giggled to herself. " What?" asked Henry confused. " Nothing," said Dr Aki firmly " Well alright then...I guess I'll go ring up your purchases." Said Henry at a loss and walked over to the checkout counter.
***********
Afew minutes later Dr Aki and Karin finally left and Henry closed up shop. He then went to his small, but well furnished appartment and changed into the Phantom Renegade.
After wandering around in the dark looking for criminals to deal justice to, the vigilante grew restless. He didnt like it when things were quiet and tonight had been unacceptionally dull. He decided to pay the good doctor a visit....he sensed something was different and his curiousity as usual got the better of him....he decided to investigate.
*************
Katrina sat out in the silver moonlight that filled Dr Aki's massive back garden. Dressed in a pure white dress she made an impressive figure...so pale and wraith like...that may have been where the rumours of a ghost had started. She sat out here every night watching the shadows at play. Her newly washed hair hung in gleaming locks down to her waist and her big expressive eyes were contemplative. She looked beautiful, but as she sat staring at her surroundings she wished she could appreciate them like she used to. Nothing seemed to fill the void that had opened up in her life when her real parents had died. Nothing could change the fact that she was no longer whole....it wasnt the fact that she lost her parents at so young an age and now her step parents too. That didnt hurt nearly as much as the fact she'd lost her boyfriend..her soulmate now as well.
Allan had been perfect, the one thing that had made her smile when her days had been dark....the one thing that was constant in her life. When her parents had died she had shed tears of sorrow....but she had never been that close to them. She'd been too young. And her step-parents had been kind but she had never let them in..Only Allan really knew her....had really known her. Just the thought of him made her eyes tear up again....no, now her life was nothing more then a pale shadow in comparison to its former beauty.
She was unsure of what to do next. She wanted deaths embrace more then she'd longed for anything in her life...but she couldnt do that....not to Uncle Aki and her sweet if slightly air headed cousin Karin. They were worried about her...she could tell when they looked her way. How they kept trying new ways to make her smile that never entirely worked. How they saw the haunted look in her eyes and couldnt fathom it so turned away embarrased.
She sat and stared. Lost in a memory...lost in dreams of a happier time
**************
The phantom Renegade sat on Dr Aki's garden wall and stared at the girl in front of him. She sat in silence staring out into the night at something he couldnt see. Unshed tears stayed glistening in her eyes. But that wasnt what captivated him. It was her whole being...she was breathtaking. She looked like a fairy not quite of this world...she could even be seen as maybe a vampire, her whole face was white as snow and her mouth was so red. He'd never seen anyone like her before...he was stunned...and absolutely speachless. The sadness in her eyes made his heart reach out to her like it never had before. He wanted to protect her and keep her safe from harm.... He suddenly realised what he'd been thinking and mentally kicked himself. Im such an idiot, he thought, I can never care for anyone cos they'll just end up getting hurt. He needed to get out of here and fast. He started to edge backwards, being careful not to make a sound when he heard a noise. Turning around slowly he saw a growling dog on the otherside of the fence, looking up, staring at him relentlisly (and it wasnt in a friendly manner). Hoo-boy, he thought. " Nice puppy." he said outloud. Edging away from the dog he turned around and jumped down as the animal leapt at him, jaws full of sharp teeth and a hunger for blood. The Phantom just got away, and all the doberman got was a mouthful of cape.
The Phantom now on the otherside of the fence examined the rip carefully and sighed. Now Im going to have to sew this, he thought ruefully remembering the pin pricks from last time. He looked away and realised that he was now in Dr Aki's garden and the mystery girl was staring straight at him, curious and also unafraid.
" Who are you?" she asked
*~*
Will The Phantom ever find out who this mystery girl is? Does the evil dog from hell ever make a re appearance? Do I really suck at the plot of this story? Find out next time if I ever decide to update. ^_^
