Third Person POV

The casino lights were blinding. His headache became worse and worse with each time the light flashed and he took a drag from his cigarette to help calm his nerves. He nervously checks his wrist, as if a watch adorned it. However, only two gold bracelets with 7 different colored jewel shards lay upon it. He reaches down on his belt and grabs a ceramic jug. He pulls out the stopper and throws his head back, drinking the contents. Its then he sees her.

Age has blessed her, give her a beauty and sensuality unmatched. Her face is always in a slight melancholy, even when she smiles. She sees him and immediately makes a beeline for him. He gets up, his mouth set in a straight line. The surprise doesn't reach his eyes however. He walks off towards the crowd and dissaperes.

She isn't fooled. She knows him too well and her loneliness seems only to retreat in his presence. Out the back she goes, following the halls and staff rooms until she walks out the back exit. She finds herself in an allyway and the acrid smell of smoke and sharp liquor reveals the presence of another. "Why did you run?"

Another swig of the jug; then, "Why are you here?" The voice is filled with annoyance and tinged with sadness.

"You didn't awnser my question."

"Don't play that game with me. Awnser mine first and I'll awnser yours if I feel like it."

She huffs. "Fine. I...I..." Her shoulders slump, putting an intriging ripple through her red dress. "I don't know. I guess I just wanted to know you better."

He laughs. "What you see is what you get with me. Nothing more..."

"But there has to be? Where you came from, who your parents are, how you have these powers of yours...I want to know!"

Ghost took one more drag of the cigarette and flicks it to the ground, crushing it beneath his heel. He looks at his armband and grins grimly. "Heh, looks like I'm outta time. As for all that, let me give you some advice Amy. I'm no one. As far as appearnces go, I dont exist. Its not worth it. Dont keep pursuing me."

"Wait!" Amy rushed up and grabbed his arm. "Um...I wanted to invite you to dinner."

"I cant make it tonight."

"Some other time then?"

"Sure."

Amy gasped as suddenly her hand went right through his arm! "What...What's going on?"

Ghost smiled. "A manifestation of my powers." He continued to fade and finally, when his image dissapered from sight, his voice spoke up once more. "I'm not worth it. You're better than this."

Robotnik knows. He keeps his secrets and his comments, only helping him. Repentance is easy as long as you are forgiven in the eyes of the one it matters.
