(KI wanted to say the chapter an update was deleted cuz idk how that got their I meant to publish some thing else so I hope it makes more sense now…)
"This is insane!" Marne growled as we stood in the middle of a small shop. It was a black Magic store selling herbs and books.
"Why! No one can catch us" I giggled and grabbed a book off the shelf. The store was dark and quite. The shelves were dusty and melted black candles sat on shelves. I rubbed my hand on the old leather of the book. "What do you think about this one?"
"I think you should put it down." A new voice said from the door way. I turned to see an old man looking at Marne and I.
"Mar can he see us?"
"I think so" She whispered back. I held the book against my chest.
"You can see us?"
"Of course I can"
"But no one else can"
"No" The man smiled at us and sat on a stool.
"Do you own this shop?" Marne asked twirling a crows feather in her hand.
"Yes"
"Can you help me, and her?"
"With what"
"I'm dying as we speak a man put a curse or used an evil poison on me and now this is where I am but…Marne here…."
"I'm dead she killed me" I giggled at Marne and bumped her.
"So what do you need my help with?" The man asked. His grey thinning hair fell around his face and his black cloak swished around as he stood again.
"I cant die"
"Why?"
"I…."
"Is It a boy?"
"Not just a boy a King" I held my head high.
"I see" He nodded his head and began grabbing things off the shelf and placing them in a bag with a piece of paper.
"Want one thing in return"
"What would that be?"
"You need to work here but you cant tell any one"
"Deal"
"Ok just follow the directions and NO one can see you. And if you do any thing wrong it won't work or it will back fire"
"Ok" Marne took the bag and we teleported to the castle. That's right we can teleport and its so fun! When we got to the castle Marne stopped me.
"Want you to see some thing before we go"
"Sure" I smiled and followed her to the small pond in the garden. It was in the center of the maze. With little statues around it and blue water that was lit up. Ghosts were everywhere any one who had died was their dancing under the moon light. Each had a small light to them golden and beautiful. It was a slow song. The hovered over the water smiling and fire flies flew around.
"Wow"
"Yeah" Marne nodded. We sat on the grass that glowed green and just listened and swayed to the music.
"Are you ready?" Marne asked.
"I've been ready" We walked back to the castle and to my room where Edmund was sleeping in a chair.
"He really loves you"
"I guess"
"What are we going to do?" I smiled and whispered in his ear.
"Ed, go to your room and sleep I'll be fine" He suddenly awoke and looked around and then to my body on the bed. He kissed my hand and left.
"That actually worked?" Marne giggled and got the bag and began stetting things up. "Well you need to do this alone, good luck"
"Thanks" She hugged me then disappeared. I pulled out the paper.
Step one: Light the black purifying stick and wave it around the room.
Step two: Light the green candle and place it on the floor waving the dagger over it three times. Then get blood using the knife from each body and pace it in the gold cup.
I took my real hand and cut it letting ten drops fall into the cup then I cut my own hand which I didn't know was possible since I was ghost. And let the blood drip into the cup.
Step three: Take the black herbs and mash them into the cup with the blood.
Step four: Take five red berries and mash and mix them in too.
Step five: pour the black candle wax into the cup.
Step six: drink the mixture.
I looked down at the bubbling mixture in front of me. It smelt and looked complete disgusting.
"Please work" I plugged my nose and drank the whole thing gagging as I did so. My dying body began shaking violently and the ghost me I couldn't breath.
"Marne!" I screamed as she appeared.
"What!"
"H..EL..P"
"I cant!" She said as I fell to the floor and was joined with my body.
I woke up screaming in pain I was on fire or at least it felt like it. I sat up in my bed Marne stood in the corner smiling happily.
"FIRE!" I yelled, as Edmund ran in. Tripping over the ingredients on the floor and spotting me.
"RICKYY!"
"ED!" I was no longer burning I was fine besides the fact that I could still see Marne.
"Your alive" He drew me into a hug.
"Yeah"
"hey Ed?" I said into the silence of the room.
"Hmmm"
"I love you" I pulled him into a kiss that of which started out slow but soon became very passionate. His hands tangled in my hair and my arms wrapped around his neck. He sat on the bed next to me not breaking the kiss. Before Peter and Susan and everyone walked in.
"What's all the co- Whoa!" peter gasped as we pulled away panting.
"Ricky's awake" Edmund grinned.
"Yeah I am" I grabbed his hand.
"What's all this?" Caspian asked looking at the black magic stuff on the floor.
"I…I don't know?" I shrugged hoping I was believable. Marne giggled from the corner and made me smile. She looked over at Lucy who suddenly shuddered.
"I feel like I'm being watched" She shuddered. My eyes grew wide.
"Weird" Peter eyes me suspiciously and smiled.
"I'm happy your back"
"So am I" Edmund agreed raising his eye brows.
"Ed" I giggled bumping him.
"Well lets go to breakfast" Susan smiled leading everyone out.
"Be there in a minute" I called to Ed who nodded and left me in my room.
"Marne why can I still see you?"
"I don't know" I was worried now.
"I feel like that was to easy, theirs a catch I know their has to be one"
"Look go eat and well talk tonight"
"Ok thanks Mar" I hugged her and she disappeared. I pulled a light blue dress on and ran to the breakfast table where everyone smiled at me.
"Know what's strange" Susan asked.
"Hmmm?"
"You were going to die and now your fine like nothing happened."
"Yeah" I nodded looking down at my plate. A boy walked in he must have only been nine with big brown eyes and blond hair. His face was dirty and he carried a little teddy bear. "Who's that?" I pointed my fork in his direction.
"Who's who Ricky?"
"That boy"
"What boy?" I looked at them in confusion. He had to be a ghost I shook my head I thought I could only still see Marne.
"What boy Ricky?" Edmund placed his hand on my knee.
"Thiers no boy I must be seeing things" I laughed it off and the boy was suddenly holding a knife and pointed it at me. He made the your dead motion and disappeared. "Well this is just great" I mumbled.
"Want to go for a walk?"
"Sure" I nodded at Ed and we left to the forest.
"So Ricky"
"So Edmund"
"Are we like…"
"A couple?"
"Yeah"
"Well yeah"
"Good" He smiled and took my hand. The boy appeared again but this time he had Raouge with him and a lady with white hair and pale skin the air got suddenly cold. I squinted at them. "Ricky I was so scared for you when you were sick"
"I know"
"You do?"
"Let's just say I could hear you"
"OH" He blushed and looked back at me. "You know we burned your pirate ship?"
"Good"
The three ghosts began writing in the sand. 'Revenge'. I shook my head as the woman approached Ed and placed her dagger at his neck and cut it. Of course he didn't feel It and nothing was actually their but I could see it so I screamed And lunged at her. Which resulted in me falling to the floor.
"What are you doing?"
"Practicing my flying" I giggled, "We should head back now"
"Yeah"
"Hey Ed?"
"Yes"
"What do you know of a lady with white hair and pale skin?" His eyes glazed over before he blinked a few times and looked at me again.
"I know she's dead and is a horrible person. Why do you ask of her?"
"A…dream that's all"
"Well she's pure evil."
"Ohhh" The rest of the day I didn't see any ghosts thankfully and I just socialized with Susan as she fitted me with a new dress.
"So you and Edmund?"
"Yeah" I sighed a happy sigh and Su giggled.
"I thought you hated each other a few days ago"
"So did I but all of our hate turned to love"
"Cute" Susan smiled as I looked in the mirror. In bloody writing read 'Edmund must die' and I could see an image of the white lady killing him with a look of pure happiness on her face.
"NO!" I screamed and slammed my fist into the mirror.
"What you dont like the dress?" Susan gasped looking at my fist that was now bleeding as little shards of glass fell to the floor.
"No I love it"
"What has gotten in to you?" She held my fist. I looked at her jerked my hand away and glared at her storming out of the room.
"Nothing in particular"
