GHOSTMAN 2: DIVIDED DESTINY

CHAPTER 12: HELL / LET THERE BE LIGHT

I was still tied down on the snooker table, my breast were swollen, I had bites on my body and my neck, I hurt. “Whoever gets the next number can plant there cock into the whore.” the fat man said laughing. “I have no cock dick-brains.” The girl with braces said. “Well if you win stick something else in there, use your imagination!” “I will.” she walked off and returned with a snooker cue, she hit the fat man over head with it.” “Bitch hit me again and you will be the one on the snooker table!” “Sounds fun dick-brains.” I heard them talk, I heard what they were going to do to me, hell, this must be hell. I heard a roll of a dice, it seemed to echo in my mind, I knew what was coming, there was no use in struggling, it would do no good.

Dr Sango, Dr Roberts and Clone Three were all sat around a small table in one of the rooms at the train station, the room used to be a small shop until they had changed in and made in into an office of sorts. “So Clone Three, you understand the plan?” asked Dr Sango. “I understand, You launch me using a small train and some wings, I fly up to the next body that comes along using the jets on the wings, I place this tiny device onto the body and sit and wait, when connection is made I take the ride back to this bodies real body and use my ghost-force to hopefully bring this person back to life and then I take over this person and live again, a real life.” It seemed a long shot but I was willing to try anything, Nothing could go wrong and the worse thing that could happen would be that I died again and ended up stuck here again. “Good good Clone Three, so now all we need to do is keep a look out for another body and if we are fast enough operation return to life can make a start.” Dr Sango said as Dr Roberts nodded in agreement.

I was floating in a white tunnel, I could only see white, pure heavenly white. I thought about Jack, Peter and Paula my children who I now missed like mad, they would be upset, they would have no father now. Alpha would do her best I knew that. I forgot then, they would have no mother also, Mega had completely slipped my mind for a minute then. Mega my wife, my love but was she still my love, I didn't think she had been for several years, dying seemed to have made me see things for what they had turned in to, a loveless marriage, she was selfish and greedy, why had I not seen that I wondered.

There was a flash of sparkling white light, angels flew into the cave, they encircled Sarah and the thing, there were so many of them, they were at last making a stand, or was it suicide? “Sarah, when I say go you go.” One of the many angels whispered into Sarah's ear, she nodded although she had no idea what she was going to have to do. The angels circled for a while then they made a formation in the cave, an arrow, it was a beautiful thing. “They have a plan, I have a plan, all will be well young Sarah, all will be well.” the thing said smiling.

Helen, Rick, Lord Smeldish and Soldier kickin slowly fell into the strange portal, they had no idea they were. Captain Snugglebum was with the Queen, he was looking straight at her, she was tied up to a chair crying. Helen and the party fell from a portal and landed on a track of some kind, they were all half asleep. “I let Dr Sango escape, he promised me he would come back here and take the castle and give it to me if I let him escape, It does not matter now, the castle is mine anyway now.” Captain Snugglebum laughed out loud as he joyed in his success of taking over the castle single handedly. “They will come back and restore the castle to my rule Captain, you know that, I know that, you will not win.” He laughed at that and smacked the little girl who was the Queen across the face.

I was still in the white tunnel, my eyes were tired, I felt as though I was drifting, I felt as though I was about to fall asleep. My children flashed in to mind, I saw all the good times, the birth of Jack, Paula running down the stairs and out the door at the house like she had done most days, I saw my clever Peter who had always been up to some plan or working on an idea of some kind. I thought of Alpha, the women who had loved my wife but had always helped us out, always been there for me and Mega. My thoughts began to fade, my memories disappeared, all was quiet.

They all were laughing. “Not a surprise you winning this one was it dick-brains, you rigged the dice.” it was the girls voice. “I never rig the dice slut.” she gave a snorted laugh, “You always do we all know that.” She looked at the others, they were as blank as a white painted wall. I heard the fat man had won, it would be that disgusting creature that would come and take me, I shivered and closed my eyes. He walked over to me and laughed. “You want it fast or nice and slow?” he asked laughing, I tried spitting at him but missed. “I'll take that as hard then bitch.” The fat man climbed up on to the snooker table, he stood on my belly in the process. He was a tall man, he kicked me in the face as he lay on me, he then crossed his legs around my head so I couldn't move it. I felt him lick my pussy, his moustache tickling me, I felt sick. I heard voices, the others. “You want to join in our game?” I heard the girl say. “No do you want to join in my game?” A male voice said, it sounded like David, I tried to struggle, I tried as much as I could as a sudden gun shot echoed in the pub.

The angels flew fast at the women who was holding Ghostman tightly. They hit the invisible blockade but they had made an impact, the angels twisted themselves into a small circle, the circle grew wider slowly, bit by bit. “No No No.” Shouted the women as bolts of blue flame shot out at the angels. “Sarah go, go.” It was an echoing command, a strong loud high pitched voice, it was the voice of many angels combined into one, it was the one hope, it was time for Sarah. The young small girl took the command and ran at the angels, she neither thought about what she was doing or waited, she ran towards the centre of the circle that the angels had made, she leaped through the tiny gap and made it through to the women and to Ghostman. “Pull them apart Sarah, Separate them.” The angels voices said in unison. Sarah pulled at Ghoatman, it had no effect so she climbed up on his back and shouted in his ears. “She doesn't love you, she is evil, she doesn't love you.” He turned his head, he was looking confused and dazed. “Its true she does not love you, use your staff, use your staff.” she screamed at him. “Sarah, I thought you were dead.” he said slowly. “Stupid girl.” Sarah fell to the floor after taking a hit, the women hand had hit her hard. “I love you Ghostman.” The women said as she stroked his face and kissed him passionately.

Dr Sango entered the room, he looked happy. “We have spotted a body entering the sky a fair way off but now we must get prepared and ready.” “At last, at last, good luck Clone Three, I wish you luck and hopefully we will meet again in the real world.” Said Dr Roberts. “Yes I hope we meet again Dr, You too Dr Sango. I will began my preparation.” Clone Three said as he walked off to another room to get dressed and in position for what was to be his one attempt at escaping this hell of a place. “Have you connected the status updater to him Dr.” Asked Dr Roberts. “Oh yes of course, as soon as Clone Three has made it through to the real world we should hopefully receive indication of that.” “Good Good, are you positive this will work?” “I would not be doing it if I didn't think so Dr Roberts.” He smiled and walked away to get ready and in position.

Gun shot after Gunshot scream after scream. I heard shooting and shouting, the fat man had jumped off me as a bullet had smashed his head open and left a gaping wound, he fell to the floor dead. I preyed that I would not be next in line. Eventually all was silent apart from the steady footsteps that were approaching me. David walked up to me and untied me and lifted me down from the snooker table. “I am sorry I didn't get here sooner.” David said to me kindly. “I put my arms around David and hugged him so close. “Where are we David, what is this place, what happened at the party, I don't remember a thing.” “Why do you keep calling me David?” The man I thought was my husband David said, he looked confused. “Your my husband, my David.” I said softly. “Sorry love I ain’t your husband, I think your mistaken.” David said. “You look just like him.” I snapped, I had had enough of everything and just wanted to go home. “I know I was cloned, I never lived a real life, I only remember been butchered in some laboratory in some place.” The man I thought was David said. I stayed silent, I had no idea what to say or think. “Look miss I do remember this Doctor, they called him Dr Sango, He made three clones of some man, perhaps it was your husband they cloned me from?” I was shocked, I knew Dr Sango but I never new he had done cloning. “I knew Dr Sango, he died in a explosion at his laboratory some ten years ago.” The man laughed, “Its been about ten years that I have been stuck here, ten years.” The man stopped laughing, “There was a rumour going about that there was two of me but I shrugged that off as nonsense lady, that’s all I can tell you.” “Where are we?” I asked politely. “All they call this place is hell lady, all I can do is try and survive as best as I can and be good.” “What do you mean hell.” I asked, did he mean really in hell or just some crappy town, I had no idea. “You don't actually know it do you miss?” “No what?” I asked. “Your dead for real like, this is hell, no where to go, no way out, you live, you die makes no difference, you live in hell, you are hell, this is your life now.”

Ghostman thought of Sarah falling after his staff had failed to save her, he was sure she had died but now she was here and his love had just hit her, she was such a nice girl. “Ghostman you need to see her for what she really is, you told me your staff could give us light if we needed it, try it Ghostman, ask it for light.” It was Sarah's voice shouting from the floor where the women had struck her. Ghostman slowly grabbed his staff and flicked the switch, he could not be bothered to untie it from his waist. “I need light.” he said slowly, “I need light.” A sudden white light burst out from Ghostman's side, the whole cave filled up with such a bright light. The light shone down from the tiny crystals that were on the ceiling of the cave, the light spread from one rock to another that were on the floor of the cave, the whole cave was smothered in light. “My love, what have you done.” The women screamed. “What have you done.” she said as she grew taller, long dark whiskers grew from her face, her skin appeared all rough like a scaly dragons. She looked like a cat crossed with a dragon, she developed wings, her breath suddenly stank of smoke. Ghostman stared in disbelieve and so did the angels. The thing stood still as the light that shone from the floor and the ceiling covered him, it enveloped him and the full form of the thing was revealed. He was huge and rock-like, slowly the crystals from the ceiling fell and leapt onto him, the rocks from the floor did the same and bit by bit The Thing was suddenly some kind of rock man, his body covered in crystals and rocks of many colours, he was a walking rainbow. The women that was now a monster hisses loudly, her long red tongue slipped out and hit some of the angels who fell to the floor dying, the remaining angels whizzed off to the back of the cave. Ghostman tried to run away but the invisible barrier was once more fully intact. Ghostman took his staff out and shouted, “I need help, I need fun, I need light.” He shouted all the commands the Queen had given him. Music started playing, the sound was like a classical jazz, it moved, it was chaotic but it was cheerful and energetic. The light that shone from the staff was now even brighter, the staff shot away from his grasp and headed for the monster, it hit the it across the head, on the back, everywhere. The monster tried its best to smack the staff away but the staff was too quick. “Look out Sarah, Ghostman, I am coming, fast..” It was the thing who was now like a huge colourful rock. The music played louder and louder, the thing ran faster and faster and then smash, time slowed down as the invisible barrier was destroyed, fragments of a glass-like substance flew off and shattered on the floor. The monster breathed fire and some kind of white balls out, they just missed Ghostman but slammed into the onrushing rock-man with no effect. The Thing crashed into the monster, she fell to the floor, but soon flew up in the air and launched another attack of flames and balls, this time the thing felt them and pieces of rock fell off him. Ghostman's staff had stopped working again, he leapt on to the floor to pick it it and now held it like a warrior. “Ghostman, dance to the music, dance, it was in a prophecy many years ago, dance for me baby.” Sarah shouted as loud as she could, Ghostman heard the words, thought about dancing as the monsters tongue clipped his face, blood trickled down his cheek. The music played on as the rock man made attack after attack and the man they called Ghostman danced as his staff was struck at the monsters head in time with the rhythm.

CHAPTER 13: TOUCHDOWN / SILENT

The body had come into view, we were all set. I had my wings on, they were made of some incredibly light fabric that I had never seen before, they were silver. I had a small control pad that was attached to my arm which also had a switch that would release the special needle that I needed to get into the body to reverse its direction and send the ghost-form back to the real world. I was flat down on the front of a small black and gold train, the train track had been shaped upwards rather like a roller-coaster ride, the aim was to speed faster and faster and then to fly away and make my way using the small jets that were attached to the wings to manoeuvre to the body. I felt so exited, I felt some hope again but I also knew that failure could happen and my dreams of having a real life could be shattered if all was to fail. The train began moving slowly at first and then began to speed up. I looked left and right and the messy buildings and up at the blood red sky, I thought of all that had happened since I had come here, I though of the commission that Mega, David and them lot had ruined that could have seen me back alive over ten years ago now. I was now moving very, very fast the wind rushed by me, I could not hear anything now apart from the pounding of the engines on the train. How Dr Sango and Dr Roberts had got a train to work evaded my thinking, this was hell but they had done it somehow. The train was at full speed, I felt myself going up into the sky, I felt the train stop and with a jerk I was up in the air, I let my wings open and I was flying, I was a bird. I looked across towards the body that was leaving the real world to its ghostworld destination, that was my target. I pulled the strings that were on my wings and adjusted as best I could so I was heading the correct way, I knew I needed to save my jets for when I was nearer to the body.

Helen, rick and the others had woken up just at the right time, some kind of train had been heading there way. Helen had woke first and heard the noise and had woke the others very quickly and all had moved out of the way. Soldier Kickin though had been fast asleep and they had ended up pulling him away from the track. “You know who was on that train don't you?” Helen asked. “Yes it was Clone Three.” replied Rick. They watched as the train stopped and Clone Three flew up in to the sky with some kind of wings on him. “What the hell is going on I wonder?” Helen said puzzled. “I have no idea but you can bet Dr Sango has something to do with this can't you?” Rick said. “I bet, lets move and have a search around this area.” “lets check out the train station Love.” said Rick as he began to move already.

I stayed with this man that looked like David, I knew he would protect me. So I was dead now, gone from the real world, I found myself confused, so very confused. It appeared that I could not die here properly, I would always come back alive, but if I died I would still feel that pain of it like I had felt pain when I had been in that tall building, I remembered very little of what had happened there. This man I was with had no name, in my eyes he was David but I needed a name for him, he agreed, we thought about names as we strolled along through this hell place heading back to the place he called his home. At least I had someone who I could talk to, someone. “Do they have hot water here, I could so do with a bath.” I said smiling, he just laughed at me so I took that as a no.

The music from the staff played on, its sound was a jazz-like fast paced up and down jig that whirled and danced in the air. The thing launched another attack on the huge cat like dragon, He slammed into its big feat which made the monster wobble, he then punched at her legs and one of them gave way and it fell to the floor. Ghostman leaped up in the air and twirled as he span and smacked his staff across the monsters face, big claws shot out at him but missed as he danced around them. Ghostman turned around as a thunderous buzzing sound could be heard, swarms of angels were heading his way at speed, he danced slightly away as the angels made their arrow formation once more and sped towards the monster. “You will all die.” screamed the monster as a bright ray of red screamed out of her big blue eyes and onto the on-rushing angels arrow. A few of the angels burned, small flashes of flame could be seen as a they fell to the ground but the arrow was still in formation and heading straight for the monsters heart. They hit their target with a force you would not think possible, they penetrated through the monster and came out the other side of it, behind it. A roaring scream of pain covered the music up as pain racked through the monster. Ghostman did a small jig then and leaped for the hole the angels had made, he aimed with his staff and his staff went all the way through but leaving the ends of the staff sticking out at either side. The huge monster was wriggling in pain as Ghostman cried out, “I need more light, I need more fun.” There was a small bang as light enveloped the monster from the inside, light shone like rays out of its eyes, The music changed to metal and a strong screeching guitar could be heard over the moans and groans of a dying creature. Out of no where a guitar appeared, Ghostman touched it and began playing it, it worked to his surprise. “Roses are red violets are blue, ugly creature I don't love you.” Ghostman sang the words out loud before he plunged the guitar, shaft first straight through the creatures mouth and into its skull. Silence, silence, all was silent, no creature moaning, no music was playing, not a sound inside the cave. The creature lay motionless with a staff through its body and a guitar through its mouth. “Ghostman you did it.” said Sarah as she hugged him as best she could given her small height. “Well done sir, your a hero now.” It was the things voice, the rock man's but as Ghostman turned to thank him, no one was there until he looked down to Sarah's level. The thing had changed now into a dwarf, he looked elegant and charming, although he was now naked, his skin was as pure a babies. “What happened?” asked Ghostman. “What you see sir is the real me, I am a dwarf proud and happy to be one, although I am feeling a little chilly at the moment.” They all laughed at that.

I could see the body clearly now, it was flying in the air with not a thing to hold it up, I had visions of me climbing onto it and the body falling from the sky. I pressed the small jets that were on my control pad and slowly but surely I was heading straight for the body. I had my eyes focused on that one thing, getting on to the body. The body seemed tall but not a fat man, I really did not like the idea of returning to life as a fat man or as a women for that matter. I was approaching the bodies feet end, I would have to pretty much fall flat on to the body and lay on it as I dug the needle like device into it so that Dr Sango could activate it and send the body back to the real world. I remembered that I must let go of my wings when I was there. I felt strangely nervous now, I was within a metre of making touchdown. I neared the body slowly, inch by inch until I was sure I could climb onto it. I reached out with my foot and pressed down on the bodies foot, it appeared to be solid ground, I leapt onto it and fell on top of it, my feet on top of his feet and I found myself face to face with the man I was to take the life of. I unclipped my wings, I watched as they fell down the sky, becoming smaller and smaller. I pressed the switch that released the special needle and with my left hand I jabbed it deep inside the body, through the chest, through this man's clothes, nothing happened so I relaxed for a moment and then the body changed directions and started moving the way it had come from, this may work out yet, I smiled.

Helen, Rick and the small party were exploring the train station. They headed for the small buildings that were near the main track. “Look up there, that tower, some people are at the top.” said Lord Smeldish as his left hand pointed at the tower. The tower was metal with a huge ladder that led to a platform at the top “They must be watching whatever clone three is up too.” Helen said as she scanned the sky. “Clone three is flying towards a body, look its floating in the sky.” Helen said exited. “That will be a new body heading for to its ghostworld, Clone Three should not be up there with it.” said Rick. “What can he do up there?” asked Lord Smeldish. “No idea but whatever it is it should not be happening, their playing with things they have no idea about.” said Rick seriously. “Wonder who is up there?” Soldier Kickin said as he looked up towards the tower. “I bet that's are Dr Sango up there.” said Helen, “So what next, sit back and watch or take action and get our good Dr Sango and try and find a way back home?” Helen continued. “I say we watch and try and figure out what they are up too first.” Soldier Kickin said, Rick and Lord Smeldish agreed. A sudden cheer could be heard from up the tower, Helen looked out towards Clone three, the body he was sat on had began moving the opposite way from what it had been. “How the hell have they done that, they must have found a way to send bodies back the way they came, that body that Clone Three landed on is going back the way it come from.” Helen said, they all looked in disbelief. “Dangerous games in a dangerous ghostworld.” Rick said as he held Helens hand.

The angels danced around in circles, they looked happy as they sang a song. “We are free, we are free, we can dance and sing and play. We are free, we are free, Ghostman is are hero of the day. We are free, we are free, happy are we now, we are. We are free, we are free, Ghostman is our hero, he is, he is, we love you Ghostman.” The angels sang in unison, it was a beautiful sound that brought tears to his eyes. After they sang one of the tiny angels whispered in Ghostman's left ear, “As a reward for freeing us you may have one thing that you really want, anything!” Ghostman heard the words, “Anything at all?” he questioned. “Yes.” the angel said. “I want to be with my Otherme, that's what I want.” He said quietly. “It shall be done, say goodbye and you shall have this one thing, but remember that we will always do our best for you and you will always be welcome here.” the angel said as she flew away and joined the rest of her sisters and brothers.

Ghostman spent some time saying his goodbyes to Sarah and the thing, still surprised by the fact that the thing had no-name and was a small dwarf and was still naked. Sarah looked to be so happy, Ghostman didn't feel happy though, he missed his Otherme but soon he should be re-united with the man from who he was cloned.

CHAPTER 14: A THREESOME

I was upon this body, I was floating away from this place that was hell, I saw it all vanish from view, ahead lay a white shining, that's all it was a whiteness that seemed to shine brightly and to glow. I took a deeper and closer look at the man I was to be, I looked and could not believe, I saw a reflection of myself, it was me, it was as a guess David. I found this hard to take in, I was going back to the real world with the body of the man that I had been cloned from and I was going to take his life from him and be him. It seemed good and so bad as well, I would be married to that whore Mega, but I knew she was dead now, but I would at least pretty much be myself. Suddenly a breeze seemed to wobble us from side to side, I clung on to David as though my life depended on it, well of course it did. We headed closer to the whiteness, the air seemed to thin and more air seemed to shake us about. The journey seemed to get worse and worse and more and more rough and even rougher when I felt something on top of me, some presence I could not see. I tried turning my head but the wind was making it difficult.

Helen, Dr Sango, Dr Roberts, Rick, Lord Smeldish and Soldier Kickin watched from various places as Clone Three disappeared from view. The experiment masterminded by Dr Sango had worked so far, he now waited for the signal that would tell him that Clone Three had made it to the real world. For Helen and the party, they needed to plan their attempt at taking Dr Sango back home to the castle and back to his cell but they did not know that the Queen was tied up and that Captain Snugglebum had taken control of the castle. For Mega ghost-life was strange but manageable seen as she was with an almost newer and better version of her husband David. Yes she missed Paula, Peter and her own child Jack but she also knew he would be well looked after by Alpha. Mega missed the physical things in the real world, the make-up, the money, clothes, parties and sex although she had plans for that with the new David.

The angels made a circle big enough for Ghostman to walk through. “When you come through our circle Ghostman you will be gone from here and be with your Otherme.” He nodded to the angels, they all smiled back. “Well this is it Ghostman.” Sarah said as she hugged him one last time. “Good luck Ghostman.” The Thing said as he in turn hugged him. Ghostman looked across to the circle then back to Sarah. “I wish you two many magical moments and maybe one day I'll be back to see you all.” “We hope so Mr, you better.” Sarah said as you pointed towards the circle. “Go Ghostman, she gave him a kiss on the cheek. Ghostman turned and made for the circle, “Goodbye our Hero Ghostman, we love you Ghostman.” All the angels said as one as he walked through the circle and.

I was slowly getting my thoughts back to me, I felt as though I was floating still but it felt odd, something was not right. There was whiteness all around me again, I figured it was that white tunnel once more. I opened my eyes and tried to scream, a man that looked exactly like me was on top of me and looking straight at me. I tried to move my lips, my mouth but nothing worked, I could not move a thing. I felt afraid like I had never felt afraid before. Who was he, what was happening, hell was I dead, was this just what happened when you died or was I likely to wake up soon in the land of the living. My thoughts died away again.

Ghostman to his horror found himself on top of a body that was floating in some kind of white void. He was stood up but soon flattened himself as a strange wind nearly blew him off the two bodies. “What is this, those angels tricked me?” Ghostman said quietly. He held on to the body hard as he had no way of knowing what would happen if he fell off them. As he lay there looking down at the top of someone's head he pondered, he thought and then he stared. Was this body Otherme? He looked closer and then realised that he was on top of two bodies, two. They were moving he realised, the white void steadily changed into a long white tunnel, in the distance there was a dark spot. “All I wanted was to be with my Otherme.” Ghostman started crying on top of the two bodies.

I heard a voice I was sure, perhaps it was another person that had somehow managed to get on top of me and David, I tried moving my arms and legs but I found I could not move a muscle now. “All I wanted was to be with my Otherme.” I head a voice, it was like my own, I knew who that was, I knew, I did not want him to be coming with me, it must be that Ghostman. I heard crying, he was very upset, he was my brother in a way, a clone just like me. “Shut the fuck up Ghostman, get off here, this ride back to life is for me not you, now fuck off.” I managed to get the words out just, I hoped he could hear me. “What have you done with Otherme?” he must have heard me, “I have done nothing, he must have died in the real world, he is right under me as I am under you, now please just get off me and go.” I knew this was a hopeless situation. “Clone Three why are you on top of him and where are we going?”

Ghostman realised he was on top of Clone Three who was on top of David, on top of Otherme. When Dr Sango had cloned David, there were three clones, Ghostman was clone two and Clone three was of course clone three, clone one didn't exist anywhere as far as Dr Sango and the other clones knew. “Clone Three why are you on top of him and where are we going?” Ghostman asked still upset. “We are going back to the real world, Dr Sango found a way to send dead bodies back, I am hitching a ride, I will become David, now get off me please.” said clone three quite polity. “Dr Sango was in a cell at the castle.” “He must have escaped then Ghostman.” “The Queen will be mad.” Said Ghostman “Fuck your Queen, stupid bitch, silly little girl.” “I am staying Clone Three, I wont let you take over David, my Otherme.”

He told me that he wouldn't let me take over David, I wondered how he was likely to do that. I slowly felt myself fall into some kind of sleep, I could not speak now no matter how hard I tried, although I could see. The tunnel was long and pure white, there was a spot at the end of it, I presumed this was like the end of the ride. My thoughts vanished, my eyes shut.

Dr Sango looked at the mobile screen he had made, it was small and silver and green but it did the job, he waiting for the signal that would tell them if Clone Three had made it in to the real world. Every second seemed to last forever. “We got company Dr Sango.” Said Dr Roberts. Dr Snago looked down. “Great its them who kept me prisoner in that castle before.” “Did we bring weapons up here?” asked Dr Roberts. “Can you see any?” “No sir.” was the reply. “Well there is your answer then Dr Roberts.” A sudden bleep bleep noise came from the small screen. “There it is Dr, Clone Three has made it to the real world, good luck to him, a mighty successful experiment this has been.” Dr Sango looked very, very happy. “A great achievement sir, now what do we do about them?” asked Dr Roberts. “I say we enjoy killing them Dr. “How with no weapons?” “Not now, when we get the weapons stupid.” “Oh” said Dr Roberts.

CHAPTER 15: ALIVE

I felt so much pain, I felt like my face had been slashed open, I heard Jacks voice in my head, “Hello Daddy.”, I heard Alpha, “Okay David, see you when you come home.” I heard nothing, I saw nothing, I felt nothing. So much for having a party tonight I thought to myself, why did Mega drive stupidly, I tried to move my neck and legs but they were trapped somewhere, my eyes closed of their own accord, I was dying, I knew I was dying.

Ghostman felt the impact of entering David's dead body, immediately he tried to drive willpower and determination in to it, Ghostman felt pain, severe pain, David would live but Ghostman knew that he could not take control of David, and neither would he allow Clone Three to. Ghostman could feel the three of them, three forces inside David's body, three energies that were now working hard to make David live, to bring him back to life. David's own force was working along with his own and Clone Three's. Ever time Ghostman's force found that Clone Three was trying to take over David, to be David he would slam his own forces at Clone Threes and put out any attempt that he would make. Slowly but surely David was recovering from the wounds, the car crash was not to kill him.

I tried so hard to take control of David, but I felt Ghostman's presence here too, he was forcing my take-over attempts to fail. I urged my forces, my energies to help David recover and not die but I needed to be David and not just this force inside him that would have no say in anything in David's life. I fought for a while but Ghostman stopped me time and time again, I began to think of trying to kill David instead so I could return to hell but was that worth trying or would I return to hell still stuck in David. Eventually I gave in and tried to get my forces to focus on making David better and tried to get myself contented for the time been in the fact that I would not be David but I would be inside him, part of him, along with Ghostman, but I knew my time would come, I would not fail.

My eyes opened again, I was still in the car, I was trapped and scared but apart from that I felt great. I could see my wife in the drivers seat crumpled up and apparently dead, I had no way to move to help her, my legs must be either broken or chopped up or something or just stuck. I smiled, I was okay as long as some one calls 999 and gets me out of here. I waited for what felt like hours and then they came, the ambulances, the fire engine and the police. I had this sort of hatred for Mega as she had done this, the car was trashed, she was dead and Jack had lost his natural mother, but hey I was alive and Alpha was pretty much Jack's true mother by actions, love and words anyway. I thought of how Peter and Paula would react to this, I had no idea but most important I thought about how those rich stuck up people in the party would react, I bet they would say that I spoilt the party, I paid for it so it was my party to spoil. I looked at the shiny shards of the window that I had smashed when I had smacked into it, they looked in a way beautiful, I thought to perhaps do a painting one day called Glass-Shards from a Smashed up Car, I laughed a that as a voice said, “Sir don't worry we will get you out in no-time.” It must have been my rescue team. “Cool, nice one about time!” I said.

Mega and the man that looked like David were walking past the tall building where Mega had crashed when she had first arrived in to this place they call hell. “So that's your car up there?” asked the man that looked like David. “Sure is, that's my baby darling, that's my baby.” Mega said smiling. “Looks like your baby going somewhere.” They both stopped as they looked up at the tall building, Mega's car appeared to go in reverse out of the building and back the way it had come. The car was flying, and flying fast. “Oh my god.” was all Mega could say as her baby flew away and back to the real world. “Come on babe lets get home and have some fun.” Mega held the hand of the man that looked like David and together they walked back to a place they both now called home.

EPILOGUE: NEWS

Alpha was playing with Jack and David was sat on the sofa with a pencil and a piece of paper. “David, you made the news, come see.” She shouted to him. David jumped up and went to the television. “Now its the latest news headlines with Trevor Mcfaming.” Said the lady as the screen changed to the male newsreader. “Miracle as a Mr David Robertson walks away from a horrendous car crash near the Palace Inn with not a scratch on him. Doctors and car safety experts are mystified as to how Mr Robertson came away from the crash which killed his wife last night. “I can see no way of someone not having some injuries to show after a crash like that, even the car window on the passenger side was smashed to bits, the side Mr Robertson was sat.” One expert said. Fireman Bran had this to say, “We had to cut a way to him and free his legs, the side of the car had completely what we thought crushed his legs and yet when we pulled him out he was up and walking with not so much as a scratch on him.” The camera cut back to the newsreader, “There will be more of this story on our later news program at six.” The newsreader went on. “On to a story with not so good news, A mother and two men have been taken in to custody after a neighbour reported a disturbance in the home next door to him. A little girl who can not be named for legal reasons was found unconscious with bruises and signs of rape. The mother was found to have taken substantial illegal drugs and photographic equipment was found at the scene of this vile crime.”

David and Alpha lived together as friends, although they shared a bed together from time to time. Peter and Paula helped David and Alpha in the work at both the laboratories and David and Alpha had plans to close both and reopen a new laboratory. Jack grew older and turned into a very bright lad who thoroughly enjoyed life. David had no more headaches or visions or memory loss. David was often heard singing and also began to learn to dance, he was also an expert painter and set up his own gallery to showcase his talents. David was arrested on two occasions for assaulting a police officer after he had lost his temper in the local supermarket and at the yearly works party.

Helen, Dr Sango, Rick, Lord Smeldish, Dr Roberts and soldier Kickin together took the castle from Captain Snugglebum and restored the Queen to her throne. Dr Sango was allowed to remain at the castle on condition he worked there with Dr Roberts as the Queens chief scientists, he strangely had no worries about working for the Queen. The castle had newcomers arrive in the shape of a small girl called Sarah and a dwarf called The Thing soon to be renamed and tiny angels were often seen dancing and singing along the halls of the castle.

Ghostman – “And as I live with David battling Clone Three's advances to take control of him, I live happily, I see through David's eyes, I live with my Otherme, I am at last content.”
