But I do own Olivia, Hemlock, Lawrenz & the Charon family.

It was a sunny day out side. A white pale skinned boy with pale green eyes was looking out the window of his bedroom, wishing to see what is like outside the haunted looking mansion he lives in.

Olivia was sleeping with Hemlock in a wide royal bed. Young William Lancer wishes to sneak out of his house and explore the world outside to see what it's like.

Then suddenly he heard a knock on the door. It was his butler, Lawrenz,

"Oh,", William said turning his head looking at the butler, "Mr. Lawrenz, sir, it's you. "

"Good morning, young master William.", Greeted Lawrenz to William as he entered the room, "Would you like me to get you something for breakfast?"

William sighed then suggested "Just a plane white toast if you won't mind.".

Lawrenz was looking into William's face, seeing depression in his eyes. "Master William?", Said Lawrenz bending his knees down to look at his face, "Is something the matter?". Then Lawrenz placed his right hand on Williams left shoulder.

"It's just...", William started, "It's just that...I...I wish to go outside the house. I've been trapped here ever since birth and I've never seen how it's out side this dingy mansion. And I'm afraid if I get out of the house, because I promised dear mother that I'd stay here and read the books she had given me to read. Don't get me wrong I love reading but I want to refresh for a bit...I don't want to break mother's heart. " Then tears started to stream out of his eyes. Lawrenz grabbed a handkerchief to wipe William's tears.

Then Lawrenz had a great idea. "Master?", Said Lawrenz with a smile on his face "You promised the Mistress that you'd stay inside the house and never go out to the human world, right? "

Wil stopped crying then looked at him "Right..."

"So let me make you some breakfast then we both go to the attic. What do you say? "

"Sure, Okay."

Then Lawrenz picked up William And went down to the kitchen. After William had finished his breakfast, they both went up to the attic.

"It sure is dusty in here!" Wil said as he was walking behind Lawrenz.

Lawrenz picked up a medallion from his pocket which was shaped like a red eye with spikes all around it. "Get ready, young master Wil. You shall see another world before your very eyes." Lawrenz said then held up the medallion up then it opened a portal.

It looked like mixes of green swirling around like a hipno-disk. "Lawrenz?", asked William chills coming up his spine, "What's that place?"

"Just come with me and you'll see for your self." Lawrenz said then took the boy by his hand.

They entered the strange portal. They were floating in a weird and spooky slimy green place with floating doors all around.

"Welcome, young master," Said Lawrenz introducing this world to him ", to the Ghost Zone."

"The Ghost Zone?", William said with a familiar tone, "Hey, I've read about this place. This is where all the undead spirits come hear after escaping the Lake of Souls which traps all the spirits there. Wow...This is so amazing!"

After floating for about five minutes, William began to ask Lawrenz "Where exactly are you taking me?"

Lawrenz looked at him then said "I'm taking to a place where you could make new friends. All ghosts here talk about the Charons and about a cute little half-vampire boy named William." Then Lawrenz gave Wil a smirk then they landed on a place which looks like some sort of play ground. Wil was shy and didn't want to go. Instead he stood behind Lawrenz's leg.

Undead looking children were looking at the strange black haired boy then started to whisper with each other spreading it all over the play ground.

"It must be him the half-vampire boy."

"Maybe he drinks ghost blood too."

"Don't be a stupid brain. Blood makes him barf."

"Maybe he'll eat our souls."

"He looks cute."

Wil became more nervous. Then he spotted a boy with a green T-shirt and black shorts. He had glowing green eyes with green hair, freckles And two buck teeth sticking out of his mouth , he also had a left peg-leg and a sling-shot which used to be his left hand.

William let go of Lawrenz's leg and saw the boy trying to aim for an eye ball with wings resting on the tree. "I'll go see that boy over there." William said pointing at the boy he wants to meet.

"A boy?" Lawrenz asked with confusion "I don't see anyone there, young master Wil."

"He's the one next to the tree over there.", Wil began to frustrate," With that-that eyeball thing with wings."

"Um," Lawrenz was still confused, "go meet him, then. I'll be sitting over there of you need me." Then Lawrenz thought to him self "I don't see anyone where young master William was pointing at."

"Stupid bird,", said the green haired boy with anger, "hold still!!!"

"Hello. Um, you're aiming for that bird thing?" William said standing next to the with a sling-shot for a hand.

"Well, DUH!!!", said the boy with a mocking tone," What does it look like??"

"May I suggest you stand like this..." William adjusted the boy's position "And place your arm like this...", then adjusted the pose of his arm, "Then you shoot like this!" Then aimed directly at the eyeball ,like creature, then it lost some of it feathers and flew away crookedly.

"Hey!", the boy smiled with surprise, "You did it! Um...thanks…."

"William. But you could call me Wil." Then took the boy's right hand and shook it.

"I can't remember my first name. But you could call me by my last name. It's Youngblood."

"A pleasure to meet you, Youngblood! Wanna shoot more stuff? "

"Heck, yeah!"

Youngblood and William played for a while. Then they got a little tired and rested under a dead tree.

"Youngblood?", William began to wonder, "How exactly did you die? If you don't mind me asking."

"Well,", Youngblood began to remember a bit, "I don't remember really. All I could remember was playing Jungle Man then lost my left hand falling down the tree into the neighbors dog. And another time I was playing with my trike pretending to be a dare devil and I rode too fast down the hill and lost my leg. And…how did I die…? Oh, yeah! You won't believe this but I was building my own ship pretending to be a pirate. It was a small raft and then some other kids saw me riding it in the middle of the lake and threw small rocks at me then…"

"I'm sorry. I truly am.". said Wil placing his hand on Youngblood's shoulder," Your parents didn't look after you?"

"No. I glad to get away from them anyway." Youngblood said getting up then helped Wil up.

"In addition for being my first friend ever. I'm going to give you the best gift a boy could ever want. Follow me!! " said William with excitement. Then he grew bat wings out of his back and flew high away, searching for the right tomb stones to raise the dead from their graves.

"Wil?", Youngblood began to wonder, "What exactly are you looking for?"

Wil kept silent for a moment. Then suddenly, he spotted a broken pirate ship and tomb stones near by. "This must be it!" William pointed at the ships direction.

"What?", Youngblood asked, "What were you're looking for??"

"The pirate ship!! It's a pirate ship!!" Wil laughed then landed near the tomb stones then snapped his finger raising the dead from their graves. The ghost who just woke up from their graves were dressed like as if they were pirates who died centuries ago.

And another tomb stone shaped like a bird's house William snapped his fingers again , then out came a skeleton of a parrot.

The undead pirates came in front of Wil and saluted him realizing, even though pirates weren't very bright, that he summoned them to serve their master.

Youngblood was frozen and was shocked to see William's strange power.

"Maties,". William began to speak in a pirates tone, "I'd like ya to meet yer new cap'in," He pointed at Youngblood then said, "his name's captain Youngblood. And I expect ye scurvy dogs to obey his orders. Understood?"

Youngblood pointed at him self and a small voice came out of his mouth saying "Me?".

"Aye-aye, sir!" all the pirates said at once and grabbed clothes and dressed Youngblood as their new captain. The parrot landed on Youngblood's right shoulder then squawked and said "Ahoy, cap'in Youngblood."

"This is so cool! Thanks, William." Then he punched him on the arm and suggested, "How would you like to be my first mate?"

"Me? That'll be wicked!" Wil said with excitement.

One of the pirates gave Wil a bandana, a wooden sword and a fake earring.

"You'll be know as Wet Willy. Welcome aboard…" Youngblood stopped not remembering how to speak like a pirate.

"Matie! squawk" the parrot helped him finish his sentence.

Wil laughed at both of them and his pirate name Wet Willy.

Youngblood and Wil played pirates in the ship till it was time to go.

Lawrenz looked at the huge pirate ship and William was riding it "Hey!! Mr. Lawrenz, I'm here!!" Wil called out to his butler.

"It's time to go, young master Wil. Your mother might be wondering where you are." Wil came down then waved goodbye to his new friend, Youngblood, and he waved back then sailed away.

Lawrenz and Wil hurried back to the attic and made it back just in time.

"William?", A feminine voice cried out, "Into The Shadows!! William, where are you?" Wil took his pirate costume off.

"I'm in the attic with Lawrenz, mother!" Wil replied to Olivia. She climbed up to the attic then ran to William and held him tightly in her arms. "My baby, I'm so glad you're alright." Olivia said in a worried tone then kissed Wil on his cheek a few times "What were you doing up here?"

"My apologies, Mistress, ", Lawrenz began to explain, "Master Wil and I were just searching for old photographs back when his father was younger. And the one's from your high school years and some of the wedding pictures, isn't the right, master William?"

"Yeah, we did." Agreed Wil with Lawrenz's fake tale.

Olivia giggled then said "It's time for your flute lessons, come on." .

As Olivia and Wil were heading for the stairs, Wil looked at Lawrenz then smiled at him showing his gratitude and Lawrenz smiled at him back. It was like the best day of his three year old life.
