I woke up tied in glowing green ropes in a cage. Spectra must be really paranoid if she tied me up and put me in a cage. Well she has a right to be. I reached into my boot and pulled out my weapon. Man are they dumb if they didn't think of checking to see if I had any weapons on me.

I pressed the button and it turning into its dagger form. Maneuvering my body quickly, I carefully cut through the ropes. I had to be quick; they would probably come back here, wherever here was. The rope was finally cut and I moved my stiff arms around a little before returning the dagger into handle form.

Now, how do I get out of here? The door is probably locked and I still had to find a lock on this stupid cage. Okay Spirit, prioritize, cage first door later. I searched the cage for a lock, there wasn't one, I tried phasing through it, it was phase proof, I tried blasting it, and it bounced back and hit my arm.

I rubbed the bruise on my arm, there had to be a way out of here. The door handle moved. Shoot, lost any more time I could have had to find a way to escape. "Well, well, well, look who's trying to escape?" I shot a light beam at her. She growled at me but didn't do anything.

"I will escape from this" she laughed. "Oh? And how are you going to do that? Your 'friends'-" she put air quotes on the word friends, "-won't help you, they don't even care about you. You were just someone they pitied" I covered my ears. No, no, no, no, she's lying, she always lies, but her words stung.

I could never stand it when someone just acted nice to me because of pity; it showed how insignificant I was that they only acted nice because they thought I deserved their pity. "You're lying!" she laughing evilly, "why would I lie? I speak the truth, after me and Bertrand took you away they didn't even bother to try and help you, they probably didn't even care."

Just don't listen to her, it's all a lie, it's just a lie. "And why would they even want to care about you? Your recent death was the only reason they cared about you. They pitied you! They never actually wanted to be your friend" I could feel the tears coming.

"Shut up" instead of intimidating, my voice sounded scared and weak. Spectra didn't stop though she kept picking at what had happened to me. "Even your friends in life didn't want you. You were just the third wheel. Always alone, always deserted, no matter who you meet, no matter where you go you will always be alone. That Goth girl already hates you and pretty soon the other two will. I mean who would they believe? Their best friend since middle school or some ghost girl thy barely even know?" I was shivering. I knew what was going to happen and I was not going to stop it.

"SHUT UP!" I was surrounded by black. My body would be destroying everything and I would not know what was happening. The darkness was comforting but at the same time driving me away. Alone… the word echoed around the darkness, hated… no one is ever going to care about me anymore; I'll always be by myself.

Pitied… I curled up and hugged my knees, crying to myself. Even in death I could never escape this, I could never escape being hated for being myself. Deserted… all I ever wanted was for a trustworthy friend, all I ever got were backstabbing lairs. "Spirit?" what was that voice? I shook my head; even in my own head I was going crazy. "Spirit stop!" there was that voice again, it sounded familiar.

But I couldn't stop my body from going into attack mode, I could try but I was too upset to concentrate enough. "Please stop Spirit!" it was the same voice but it still didn't register. "Spirit!" it was a different voice this time, one I recognized more. "Filino stop, your destroying everything!" filino… it was Esperanto for daughter.

"Filino please" Frostbite… it was him! I stopped my crying, I had to hear his voice again, and he was the only one who cared about me, even more than my own family. He had faith in me and took care of me when I was sick or injured. He was like a caring father.

"Dad" I murmured and was brought out of the darkness and back into the warehouse. I floated down and collapsed but Frostbite caught me in time and I fell asleep. I woke up in the infirmary; sitting next to me was Frostbite wrapping my arm with a bandage. I almost forgot about my injury.

"Frostbite?" he smiled at me and finished cutting and tying the bandage. "You should rest more. You used up a lot of energy destroying the warehouse. Lucky for you the great one came to me for the infi-map to look for you and I followed him" I smiled weakly at him when I remembered something.

"Spectra! Does she know that I'm-" "no, she doesn't. All she knew was about your friends. She did not know you were from another dimension" the door slammed open and I saw Sam standing there a mixture of disapproval and shock on her face. "I knew there was something suspicious of you!" wow does she look very out of character. I would have thought she would be more trusting than this.

Although panicking I did the stupidest thing I could ever do. I threw my handle at her. It hit her head and she fainted making Frostbite stare at me in shock. "I panicked!" worst excuse ever but Frostbite dismissed it. "She's only unconscious. Good thing too, who knows what might have happened from you throwing your weapon at her like that. It was not designed for this" he mumbled the last part and I couldn't help but smirk a bit.

"So, how are we gonna wipe her memory about me being from another world?" he placed her on the bed next to mine. He overshadowed her and came out in a minute saying a quick "it is done" before Danny and Tucker came in followed by some more unexpected company.

I got greeted by Ember, Skulker, Klemper (who agreed not to give me neck breaking hugs), Kitty and Johnny 13. "What are you guys doing here?" Ember playfully punched me in the arm, "Heard about Spectra. Thought you could use some company" she gestured to the whole group and I smiled. "Thanks guys" I yawned, "leave her to get some rest. You can visit another day" Frostbite ushered everyone out of the room.

"We still on for tomorrow?" asked Ember and I smiled at her, "definitely."

Yawning, I fell asleep as Ember gave me a sad smile and Frostbite turned off the lights. Alone… Deserted… Hated… They never liked you… Untrustworthy… what's happening? I woke up and saw a shadow in front of me. "Who's there?" the shadow didn't reply. Alone… unwanted… hated… they never liked you… untrustworthy… the shadow chanted these words over and over again.

"Stop it! Shut up!" I shot a light beam, it just went through it. The chanting continued, I pressed my hands against my ears but the words got louder. Alone… unwanted… hated… I shot a few more blasts but they just kept going through it. I could feel tears rolling down my cheeks. "Please stop" I begged but the voices continued. The shadows multiplied and it began to form into my friends. Alone… unwanted… hated… they repeated it one by one, over and over again.

I begged them to stop. The word stop became foreign now. Alone… I hated that word the most. I hated being alone, with no friends, it was terrible.

"Get out of here! Leave me alone!" the shadows merged into one again and approached me repeating those horrible words over and over again. I just stared emotionless crying when Frostbite ran into the room. "Spirit are you okay?" I didn't really hear him. The figure turned split into three and turned into Danny, Sam and Tucker. We never liked you… You were just someone who needed pity… You can just stay by yourself for the rest of your afterlife… their words echoed in my ears and I closed my eyes chanting the word no over and over again trying to block them out.

"Spirit what's happening?" I shook my head, "Get away… leave me alone…" I mumbled. Frostbite came over to me and held my shoulders. "There's no one there. Calm down Spirit" my whole body became surrounded by a black aura as I stared blankly at Frostbite.

"Shannon calm down! There's no one there!" he shouted at me. The use of my real name instead of my ghost one shocked me and the black aura faded. So did the figures.

I cried into Frostbite's fur and he just hugged and told me comforting words. I felt him carry me back to the bed and head to leave. "No, don't leave. I don't want to be alone" I shuddered slightly at the last word. Frostbite nodded and sat next to me while I tried to sleep.

It seemed impossible until Frostbite started singing a Far Frozen lullaby. I only heard it once before when Icicle was singing it at the Kindergarten and it was calming. I managed to fall asleep smiling after hearing the lullaby.
