This chapter's going to be a good one. I took on a request from the reveiws. I am putting more of the annoying but funny skull in. I too agree I have been leaving out the lonely ghost #Loner life(AKA: my life). So here is your chapter with more annoying skull. Enjoy! Bye!
Lucys POV
Oli broke out of his statue like position. He ran up to me, grabbed my shoulder, and shook me back and forth. "Are you insane?! Your mother gave you that dagger! That was a family air loom you lost!", Oli looked at me furious. I broke out of Olis' grasp and stepped back.
"I know, that's why I'm going back to Mr. Hartleys' buissness to look for it!", I ran twords the door when I was stopped, Oli grabbed my wrist.
"There's no point in going now. That place is probably closed, and not only that you fainted today. You need to sleep you've overworked yourself. Go upstairs, wash up, then sleep.", Oli looked at me sternly and pointed at the stairs. I was actually really tired. I was too tired to argue, I walked up the stairs and went to the bathroom. I took my shower then put on pajamas that Holly lent me. I then flopped on my bed and looked to the left to see the skull on my dresser. The skulls face started to become more clearer. It gave me a devilish grin and I frowned knowing what was coming.
"Soooooo, Lockwood? You guys were getting all spicy up here earlier.", The skull gave a snicker.
"You saw us?! You damn skull, mind your own buissness!", I growled at the skull.
"It's kind of hard not to watch when you guys are getting all lovey dovey in front of me. It's not my fault I can't move because I'm stuck in a jar. Not only that I get to see all the juicy stuff without anyone noticing. Like you and Holly, you guys fight, why dont you just kill her? You would have Lockwood all to yourself. While you're at it kill the fat one too, he keeps putting me in the oven."
"I'm not killing anyone. I don't need anyone haunting me, you are already annoying enough. Anyway no blabbing about this because Oli can understand you.", I picked the jar up and started walking downstairs.
"Hey were are you taking me tomboy"
"Downstairs in the living room because I can't sleep with you talking.", I angirly set the jar on the table in the living room and George, Oli, and Holly flinched in their seats. I went back upstairs to sleep.
Oli POV
I watched Lucy stomp up the stairs. Did that skull do something? I was about to continue the conversation when the thing spoke.
"Hey kid, do you want to know what happened when pretty boy brought Lucy upstairs?", The skull gave an evil grin. I looked at it confused. George and Lockwood looked at me. Holly went to go get a fresh pot of tea. "They kissed. You're engaged right, what will you do about it?"
I looked at Lockwood. He looked back at me confused. "So, Lockwood, is it true what the skull said?", Lockwood raised and eyebrow interested.
"And just what did the skull say?", Lockwood took a sip of tea.
"That you and Lucy kissed", Lockwood spit out his tea. He started to cough a little then wiped up his mess with a napkin. " So, it is true!", Lockwood sat in front of me looking at George for support. "Sooooo, how did you do it? I can't even give her a hug without her drawing her rapier."
"No, no, no, kid, you got it all wrong. She kissed pretty boy!", The skull corrected me then dissapeared.
I looked at the jar then at Lockwood. "The skull just said she kissed you!", Lockwood flinched. "How did you get her to do it?"
"I didn't get her to do it, she just did it. It certainly caught me by suprise.", Lockwood looked at George who was making kissy faces. "Cut it out George."
"I have nothing more to say than... Lockwood, you are now my rival in love! I would totally kill you right now but if I did that Lucy would kill me instead.", I pointed at Lockwood who had a straight face.
"Let me tell you one thing. I already lost her once and I won't lose her again.", Lockwood gave me a grin. "Well, I'm tired, so I am going to go to bed.", Lockwood walked to his room. Soon after we all went to bed. I left and went back to the hotel.
Lucys POV(Next Morning)
I shot up in bed after having the same nightmere I did yesterday. I looked around my room, I saw my clothes from yesterday washed folded on the edge of my bed. I got out of bed and changed into my clothes. I walked downstairs and saw Lockwood in his chair reading the paper and George sitting in his chair looking at the skull in the jar. I walked into the kitchen without the two of them being able to notice. I took a pen and paper and wrote a note and set it on the kitchen counter hoping George would see it when coming to eat. The note said " I went to go and find my dagger. -Lucy" Suddenly I heard foosteps going down to the basement. I peeked in the living room and Lockwood was gone. I saw that George was examining the skull in the jar, still. He was to intrigued to notice me sneaking past to the front door to leave. I walked out the door and walked to Mr. Hartleys' building to find my dagger. I thought I would walk just in case I dropped it on the way back to Lockwoods'. I walked past a cute cafe and saw that Kipps was walking out of it with Mr. Hartley. That was my chance to ask if Mr. Hartley if he had seen my dagger. I ran up to Mr. Hrtley and stood in front of him. He stopped and looked at me suprised.
"Ms. Carlyle, what brings you here?", Mr. Hartley gave me a grin.
"Well I was actually walking to your buissness building because I think I dropped my special dagger when doing the case. Have you seen it? It is a pure silver dagger with a lether wrapped handle, and it also has Carlyle written in a gold color on the handle.", I caught my breath and smiled. Suddenly Mr. Hartley pulled something out of his pocket. It was my dagger! "Ah, you found it, thank you!", I gave a huge smile and Mr. Hartley handed it to me. I put it back in my holister on my belt.
"Yes, when I was walking to my office, the bloody thing was stuck in the wall."
"Well thank you, I best be going now.", I started to walk off.
"Loopy wait!", Kipps yelled but I kept walking. "Lucy!", I then stopped and turned around.
"Yeah?"
"You need to come with us, we need you to fill out paper work for Fittes.", Kipps crossed his arms.
"I'll do it later, but right now I need to go back to George and Lockwood.", I ran off as fast as I could. I looked behind me and saw that Kipps was chasing me. "Stop chasing me!", I ran faster but Kipps was still on my tail. I was almost to Lockwood & Co. I sprinted to as fast as I could and lost Kipps in my tracks. I suddenly stopped to find myself in front of our door panting. I walked inside and saw George still examining the jar. I heard a loud knock on the door and jumped. I slowly opened the door when I saw Kipps breathing heavily. I ran down to the basement and he followed me. George jumped out of his seat and looked back at the jar. I was running down the stairs when I could hear Kipps getting closer. "I told you to stop!", I got down the stairs and saw Lockwood. I quickly hid behind Lockwood, he turned his head back and looked at me weirdly. Kipps arrived at the end of the stairs and looked at me hiding behind Lockwood. I got a sudden chill up my spine, then I realized what I was doing, I was hiding from Kipps! What was I doing? I'm not scared of him, I quickly jumped in front of Kipps and grabbed a dagger. Lockwood started to draw his rapier when Kipps pulled me by the arm fast and picked me up. He threw me over his shoulder. "Put me down, I said I'll do it later!"
"I'm taking Loopy here so she can fill out paperwork. I guess I'll be taking her-", I elbowed Kipps in the back of his head and he dropped me. I landed on my butt and looked at Kipps who was glaring at me. "You little!", Kipps charged at me when a rapier landed in front of my face making Kipps keep his distance.
"I wouldn't do that Kipps. Wouldn't want Ms. Fittes getting mad at you for harming an excellent agent.", Lockwood gave a smirk and held out his hand to help me get up. I took his hand and he pulled me up into his arms. "She'll meet you tomorrow at 9:00 A.M. sharp in the cafe near here to fill out your paperwork.", Lockwood gave Kipps a smile.
"Fine, but she better be there, this is serious work.", Kipps stomped out of the basement with a bump on his head. I gave a chuckle and Lockwood looked at me in his arms. He blushed and quickly pulled away.
"Well I guess I have a date with Kipps at 9:00 tomorrow.", I sighed and saw Lockwood who was all red.
"A date! W- well I wouldn't call it a date.", Lockwood rubbed the back of his neck. I gave another chuckle.
"I was joking, but, It makes me happy that you care about that. Would you like to come along, since your so concerened and all?", I looked at Lockwood who got even more red than before. Lockwood suddenly came up and gave me a hug.
"Lucy, I umm, well you see... I Li-", George suddenly yelled from upstairs.
"Lockwood, come here!" Lockwood quickly let go of me and ran upstairs.
"What was that all about?" I looked at floating Joe and shrugged my shoulders. I walked upstairs and saw george and Lockwood looking at a medium sized package in the living room. I walked up behind Lockwood and looked over his shoulder reading what was on the package. "Oh, it's for me?", Lockwood didn't notice me because he jumped to the side and fell over when I spoke. I turned and looked at Lockwood with a smile. "You're so jumpy today, are you okay?", Lockwood shot up and looked at his feet. George looked at me and laughed. I looked at the package and picked it up. I ripped open the package to see a note inside. I opened the note and read it out loud. "Dear Sis, I know that your birthday is coming up in a couple of days. Soooo, mom and I made you a dress that we thought would look good on you and only you. This is the first ever birthday we won't be spending with you. We have on the other hand had Oli prepare a ball with the help of Fittes. It will be a ball for all, you must dress formal, so please enjoy yourself. This ball will not be focusing on you though, because we know how much you hate the attention, but you will be singing moms special song! Happy BirthDay! -Love Big Sis and Mom", I looked back at the note once more. Lockwood and George looked at me oddly. "I'm not singing in front of people. The ball I can do, the dress yes, but the I'm not singing!"
"Besides the singing part it sounds rather fun. Lucy why don't you try on the dress.", George picked up the box and handed to me with the dress in it. He pushed me twords the stairs. "Go on, we'll be waiting.", I reluctantly walked up to my room and put the box on my bed.
I took the dress out carefully and looked at it. I carefully put the dress on and looked at myself in the mirror. The dress was a little poofy but still suttle. It was a black dress about a foot above my knees but it was longer than my fingertips when laying at my side. It had a dark red, rose patterend corset and a large piece of dark red cotton that overlapped the dress on the sides and was long in the back. Also because my sister is so thoughtful she put in a pair of arm covers. You know, the ones that you can slide onto your arms and they only go a little bit above your elbows, but they are long the rest of the way down your arm. I put on some knee socks and walked down stairs. I arrived at the bottom of the stairs and saw George and Lockwood sitting in their seats. George was tapping the skull jar with a pen and Lockwood was reading the paper. I walked closer and stood in front of George and Lockwood. They both looked at me without saying a word.
"Does it look weird?", I looked at the two of them nervously.
"No, actually, you look cute.", Lockwood looked at me and blushed. Everyone stayed silent until the door opened and Oli ran in.
"Lucy, did you get the dress?", Oli looked at me up and down then smiled. "Oh great you did. The ball is tonight, it starts at 8:00, and it's 7:00." Oli looked at Lockwood and George. "Are you two going or not?"
"Um, yes?", Lockwood and George asked.
"Then go get dressed.", Oli pushed Lockwood and George upstairs. I stood there in the living room in shock.
