I can still remember the day it all went down, just like it was yesterday. But it was a year ago, today. I swear he's haunting me, waiting for me to let my guard down. Wait, I guess I should explain what I'm talking about.

You see, last year, Plasmius and I got into this major fight, and I won. Unfortunately, there was no explanation to my parents without revealing my secret, and you can't get away with saying "I don't know" to a murder that you witnessed. Well, really, that you committed, but we'll get to that in a minute.

Long lost words whisper slowly to me.

Still can't find what keeps me here,

When all this time I've been so hollow inside.

I know you're still there.

What happened was, I used this really powerful weapon that I have that he doesn't: the Ghostly Wail. But I think it was a little stronger than I expected. I didn't really expect for Vlad to go flying out of the window… on the fifth floor…

I can still hear him talking to me. I swear he's hovering over me, invisible. I know he's a ghost; I still see Skulker heading towards his mansion all the time. He's just… hiding. I really don't know how to explain it.

Watching me, wanting me.

I can feel you pull me down.

Fearing you, loving you.

I won't let you pull me down.

Back to my parents. I kinda had to tell them that I was half ghost in order to explain to them what had really happened. They didn't believe my pathetic story that he'd had a heart attack… It was lame, but I wasn't in a very cheery mood.

They accepted me, and that was good, but then everything went downhill. That's why I still think Vlad is still here, haunting me. The police showed up at my doorstep. How they knew it was me I still don't know. But it's okay, I only have fifteen more years left in this damn jail cell.

Hunting you, I can smell you – alive,

Your heart pounding in my head.

And my dad was stupid enough to brag that I could just phase through the wall and escape… Stupid ghost shield…

My mom has tried so hard to bail me out, she knows it was an accident, but the authorities (Guys in White) have their ghost boy, and they're not letting me go for a while.

Watching me, wanting me.

I can feel you pull me down.

Saving me, raping me.

Watching me.

Sometimes I wish Vlad were still here, so he could bail me out. Two reasons: one, I know he would, he wants me on his side, and me being in a jail cell doesn't really help too much, and two, I don't think anyone would turn their back on the money that Vlad could offer…

Watching me, wanting me.

I can feel you pull me down.

Fearing you, loving you.

I feel really stupid, writing in this notebook that they gave me. But it keeps me from plotting ways to escape, though there is no possible way. I'm under surveillance twenty-four seven.

I can feel him staring at me. His red eyes piercing into my mind, trying to find out what's going on in my head. Well, I have something to tell him. I don't have much to think about except going home when I'm thirty…

I won't let you pull me down.
