"Why are you telling me tha' you never wanted to marry me?" Olivia pleaded

I faced the gruesome face that was Olivia's.

"I 'ave only known you for a short while. I've known Samantha since we were barely ten. Another thing, your mum and dad forced me to propose to you! I never wanted to marry you! I wanted to marry Samantha when we were young! But after you were murdered, it took me five years to just get over the fact tha' I was a widower on my wedding day!" I screamed at her

She just stood there. Eyes thoughtless. Mouth dropped. "I-I-I'm so s'rry Daniel." She tried to throw herself on me. I caught her by her shoulders.

"Olivia, I can never forgive you fo' wha' you did."

I could see anger was building up in her eyes. She grabbed a knife that was on the table and tried to stab me with it. I grabbed her wrist and turned it around. I tried to plunge it into her. It phased right through her ghostly image.

"Oh, so tha's 'ow you want to play, eh Daniel?" She plunged the knife into my side and ran away. The pain was unbareable. I pulled the blade out of me. It was covered in blood. I was losing so much blood that I was slipping into unconsciousness. Right before I passed out, Jasmine came into the room. She saw me and Samantha coated in fresh blood. I saw her run away. I saw blurry figures come back a moment later. And that's all I remembered from that point.

Two weeks later, I woke up in the hospital wing in my house. There was a thick bandage around my stomach and waist. People were running around frantically as if someone had died. Then I heard a gasp and someone said, "Ev'ryone! Look! 'e's awake!" I was soon surrounded by tons of people. Mum sat beside me.

"Daniel, sweetheart, are you alrigh'?" she asked

"I think so, I'm jus' really sore." She hugged me tightly and tears were flowing down from her eyes. "Ah, ah, Mum, pain."

"Oh, s'rry darling." I smiled and she smiled back.

"We though' you were going t' be a goner." Dad said

"But you're a real figh'er, Daniel." Elizabeth told me

"Wha' about Samantha?"

The room was quiet.

"Daniel, Samantha died." Jasmine said quietly

"Not again." I buried my head in my hands

"Some things are jus' meant to be." Mum said softly as she rubbed my back

Mum was right. Maybe I just wasn't meant to be married.

"Well, we should be going. You stay an' res'." Mum said to me

Everyone left. I lay there staring at the ceiling, thinking. Why does this always happen? There's got to be some explanation.

A few days later, I was allowed to leave the hospital wing. The bandage was still on me. The gash was pretty deep. I'm having a really tough time nowadays. But I have tons of friends and family who care about me. But every now and then, I see Samantha's ghost roaming the corridors of my mansion and hers. It's quite frightening. I miss her dearly, though. I just wish that she was still alive.

Then one day, I was in the parlor reading when someone knocked at the door. I opened it and this young girl was standing there.

"Daniel Fenton?" she asked

"Yes? And who migh' you be?"

"I'm Olivia Bradshaw. My mum knew your's."

"Olivia Bradshaw?"

"Yes."

"Oh my, Miss Bradshaw, come in, come in."

I knew it was the Olivia who killed Samantha but I didn't want to be rude.

"So, wha' brings you 'ere?" I ask her

"Well, I always wanted to meet my fiance."

"Fiance? Olivia, you mus' be mistaken. My fiance died years ago."

"Mum never told me tha' the betrothal was broken."

"It wasn't. She died on our wedding day."

"I'm so s'rry, Daniel."

"It's alrigh'. It wasn't your fault."

"I better go. It was nice meeting you anyway."

"Likewise." We exchanged smiles as she headed out the door.

I had to do something about this. Olivia was going to marry me again and this whole thing would start all over again. I can't take that much pain!

Soon, I found a exorcist who could help me. He said that to get rid of Olivia's spirit, I'd have to kill her human form. Then everything would go back to normal. But then I'd be killing an innocent girl. This would be one of the hardest decisions of my life.
