I was thinking about Vlad, you know, what happened to him after the asteroid? What if he lived? How does he feel after the world progressed without him? Well, this is what came out, not my best work, but well, its something.

Not everyone has a happy ending.

Emptiness, darkness, hollowness… blackness. Those are the only things that surround me. I guess I can't complain; I lived a good life, but if only I wouldn't have wasted it… I know that I've done a lot of bad things, and if I say that I am sorry for all of them, it wouldn't be true, because truly, I am not.

What I can say is that I am ashamed of my actions. Being here in space for so long has made me realize how lucky I was to be surrounded by so many people, even if most of them didn't care about me, just my politic position. I used to be a happy man, lonely, but overall happy. I had it all, except for my love.

She never loved me, and ended up marring an oaf, a stupid, incompetent, good for nothing excuse of a human. I still blame him for my misfortune, but if he makes her happy, I guess I have no other choice but to live by it… that is, if I was alive.

Alive… I haven't been completely alive since college, and now, after the Desasteroid, I am completely gone, a mere spirit in space with nowhere to go in particular. I've gone around the planets, even went further to find more, but everything now just seems so… meaningless.

I have no idea why I must still be around; I would be happy if I could just disappear, but no. I can not go to Earth, I can not go to the ghost zone; I am trapped. I've gone around Earth in occasions, when my depression gets the best out of me, but I must return after a while. I would not want Daniel to find me and cause more trouble, for now.

I believe I have caused enough as it is.

It's been a few years since I've been here, doing nothing. Last time I went to Earth I saw many great things, most of them accomplished because I was not there. My mortal enemy's best friend is the new mayor of Amity Park, and even though he was underage when he begun, he had helped the whole world from the disaster that I had caused and made the town better. Even now, years after he got the position, he continues to do a wonderful job.

All of the wars have stopped ever since the Desasteroid, which means that it's a safer place to live everywhere. People value their life more, and care for others. Even the ghosts have stopped attacking, well, I have seen Skulker fighting with Daniel a couple of times, but he just calls it exercise.

Which now leads me to talk about him. His life took a change for the better ever since I was stuck up here. Now, I'm not saying that I was his only enemy, but I was the most powerful influence on his hometown and family.

Now he has a family of his own, with a loving wife and two children. I must admit it didn't take me by surprise, because as everyone knew –except for the couple, of course- those two would end up together.

His mother, my sweet Maddie, is as proud as ever. I am happy for her, and although she wants to spend the rest of her days with that idiot, I shall still love her. Apparently, ever since that accident so many years ago, I got more obsessed over her than ever. It is now that I realize that it wasn't love, not at first, but then, over the years, I fell for her.

Now I'm paying the consequences of course, as I should. I look down at the town I almost killed, and I can't help but smile. Everyone has gotten better; they live happy, secure and free.

I realize that if I would have ruled the world, I wouldn't have gotten far. They would all be depressed, furious and would rage against me. None of my powers can surpass free will, not even now that I've become stronger.

But I must say, just because I am having an episode, I'm depressed and feel weak, doesn't mean that I won't be back. Just because everyone is happy, doesn't mean that I will allow it to be for long; I shall return, and that day, I shall rule.

I will get my happy ending.
