As she gazed upon the great hall, she tried counting how many types of monsters. She’d counted 35 already- unfortunately she couldn’t see the magic indoor pool in the middle of the ballroom, so her count was sure to be severely inaccurate.8964 copyright protection322PENANATPN65lkfCh 維尼
It was the night of the Halloween Ball- also affectionately called the Dance in The Hallows by many of the members. It was a night that many of the demons and monsters could stay on the over-world for a long amount of time. So, instead of torturing the over-worlders – which was honestly quite fun- some bright spark came up with the idea that all monsters should make peace and have celebrations on this day every year. That bright spark was her great great grandfather.8964 copyright protection322PENANAwn3jUJTWEg 維尼
Normally, she’d be invited in- being a vampire, she couldn’t exactly get in by herself- but after what happened last year, they refused to let her in. God, last year was a disaster. A shiver ran down her spine as she remembered it.8964 copyright protection322PENANAuH4Wgq7TbA 維尼
So this is why she was stuck up on the room, watching the filled hall and glaring at the great doors that were swung open which provided entry to the garden. Unfortunately, no one was currently in the garden- everyone just wanted to be in the great hall.8964 copyright protection322PENANAyagttmCsCg 維尼
36… oh, a 37th! As she continued to scan the types of monsters that enter the hall, she notices someone going outside. Smiling wickedly, she makes her way to the ground, and sneaks up behind the monster.8964 copyright protection322PENANA1oraX7vnlp 維尼
5 feet away, and she can already tell what monster this is. The ghostly transparent white body says it all.8964 copyright protection322PENANAtQYWP4uBVl 維尼
She hears the ghost sigh- a sigh that sounds of a hard couple millennia of going through purgatory.8964 copyright protection322PENANAQU5bYTfGuq 維尼
“Who are you?” The ethereal voice catches her off guard, and the ghost turns.8964 copyright protection322PENANArBBNLaeWuU 維尼
“Uh… Uh,” she searches for words, but can’t find any.8964 copyright protection322PENANAhZAMhyvgTI 維尼
He studies her for a second. “Wait, aren’t you the one who, last year...?”8964 copyright protection322PENANA6llUjXUwDM 維尼
If she weren’t low on blood at that moment, she probably would have blushed in embarrassment. She nodded furiously, not trusting her voice.8964 copyright protection322PENANAY6sWoSUP9m 維尼
There was an awkward pause between the pair. “Uh, when did you die?” She asked, but after a second, she realised her mistake. “If you don’t, of course?”8964 copyright protection322PENANAHrqSaGNJYO 維尼
“No, no, it’s fine.” The white wisps grew stronger around the transparent boy. “I died sometime during the 1700’s. I can’t remember when. I was 14.”8964 copyright protection322PENANAV9RijGqERK 維尼
“Jeeze, you’re old. So what’s your regret?”8964 copyright protection322PENANAMRKzx5UVQz 維尼
“Regret?”8964 copyright protection322PENANAGBkiVpyFEC 維尼
“You know,” She waved her hands about ambiguously. “When an over-worlder dies, and they have a regret, they become a ghost.”8964 copyright protection322PENANAQJNtBvCuf3 維尼
He pauses for a second of thought. “I dunno. I always wanted to be able to read and write, so maybe that’s it.”8964 copyright protection322PENANAkz8dWH81Kw 維尼
“Sounds plausible,” She comments.8964 copyright protection322PENANAvfHGNFgc9h 維尼
“Well, when’d you get turned?”8964 copyright protection322PENANANJbYMcRY3U 維尼
“Fifteen,” She gives a proud smirk. “Customary turning age since the 19th century.”8964 copyright protection322PENANAVhF6tCtNVd 維尼
“Great,” He looks up to the position of the moon. It is halfway through the sky. “We should go back to the party. It’ll be light before you know it,”8964 copyright protection322PENANAQVDM2gRFbC 維尼
“Uh, about that…” She sweats. “I can’t.”8964 copyright protection322PENANAfkCLs6Xhqs 維尼
“Why?”8964 copyright protection322PENANAzVp9DvJERP 維尼
“I need to be invited in.”8964 copyright protection322PENANAvmLI4i5HOF 維尼
It takes him a second to click, but it finally registers. “I’ll invite you in, then.”8964 copyright protection322PENANA5N4zB8jFQs 維尼
“You will?! Thank you so much!”8964 copyright protection322PENANAmzzDarQCVD 維尼
“Just… Promise not to do the thing you did last year.”8964 copyright protection322PENANATuVKNjP5uT 維尼
She gives him a bashful look. “I won’t promise.”8964 copyright protection322PENANAxL3g1IBbm2 維尼
The rest of the night passes, feeling faster than it should- she eats, they dance and talk the night away. And before they realise it, the sun is already rising.326Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZEcSaCsMy
“Well, it seems that that’s the over-world telling me that I should vacate the premises.” She jokes8964 copyright protection322PENANAuGXPGWnucd 維尼
The white wisps around the ghost recede quick. He knew this would come, but he wasn’t expecting it to be this painful. “You’ll… you’ll come back won’t you?” he murmurs, otherworldly voice shaking.326Please respect copyright.PENANA9MjdM3coGp
“Hmm?”8964 copyright protection322PENANAA6P0XG02ao 維尼
“Please visit me again!” He shouts. When he realises how loud he was, he covers his transparent mouth, and his wisps recede even more. “Please, you’re the only person I’ve talked to since my death…”8964 copyright protection322PENANAEzWHrXfS9y 維尼
She is completely surprised by this. But this shock is replaced with joy, and a large grin overtakes her face. “How could I not! You, after all, are the first monster I’ve talked to since my turning, excluding my family!”8964 copyright protection322PENANAfA1L7EOPEz 維尼
The ethereal wisps explode in size, all in a transparent shade of rose-pink.8964 copyright protection322PENANAn79McbPLWj 維尼
