Something Evil's Lurking in the Dark

@ Dandy Darling;

Emily smiled when she saw the two ducks, floating as though they'd never quarreled in the first place. Yes, it looked like a little lover's spat indeed. When she met eyes with Oliver, she couldn't help but widen her smile. His own was contagious, and it made her happy to see that he was relaxed, joyful even, especially at her hand. She'd told him over dinner she intended to change his attitude, and she'd meant it. "I know, but things get in the way, or I get busy, or I simply don't make the time." She sighed as she leaned her head back down, resting in the crook of his neck. "One day I'll make the time," she promised, because she knew her time was limited. It made her sad, to think he had all the time in the world and she didn't. She would have to get older, and he wouldn't. She wondered if he chose this, or if someone had chosen for him, but she didn't want to ask, so she simply reached for his hand, giving it a squeeze. She wanted to enjoy this one day, here in the garden, because there will come a time when she wouldn't be able to anymore.

Brayden let out a grunt, pleased with how undone he had made her. He lived to please her, always to please her, and he felt satisfied with her shortness of breath and the way she practically lost her grip on him, lost in a sea of pleasure. "Ready," he repeated, sliding his fingers out of her to grasp the waistband of her panties, sliding them down and tossing them aside with the rest of their clothes. He lifted his hips, pulling his own boxers down, adding them, too, to the ever-growing collection of clothing on the floor. He adjusted them, holding her hips right to his as she positioned herself above him. He grasped her hands, intertwining them before he held the onto the bed, groans of her name spilling from his mouth as he filled her, intensifying the pleasure in his stomach. Callie was his, and she always would be. He wouldn't give that up for anything in the world.

@ Miley Cyrus;

"Then, I will take off the time when you take off the time. We could explore the world together, and I could show you my favorite parts of it." He offered, hoping to lighten up her spirits. It was true that humans only had a fraction of time to spend on this planet unlike those of his kind. Oliver could take as much time to explore the world and watch it evolve before his eyes. Humans did not have the pleasure of doing this. Although on the other side of the coin, becoming a vampire was a curse as he had to watch family, friends, and loved ones die before his eyes. They aged at an incredible rate while he remained at a youthful age of twenty-three. It had been hard when the black plague had hit, especially. That had been his first hundred years as a vampire, and he had attempted to recreate his old life, which only ended in a tragedy. "Please, do make the time, and let me know when that time is." He requested with a smile on his face. After basking in the sunlight for a few more moments, Oliver glanced over at Emily. "Are you hungry? Do you want to go to get something to eat?" He did not even know how much time had passed inside of this haven.

--

In that brief moment where they were removing their last articles of clothing, Callie relished in the moment where nothing mattered other than the fact that they were together. Her hands placed firmly against his chest while he slid down her panties, feeling his fingers skimming over her skin. Grabbing onto the waistband of his boxers, she removed them as he lifted his hips and added them to the pile just off the side of their bed. Callie paused to properly position herself as his fingers intertwined with hers. Slowly, she sank her hips down onto him and could feel him completely filling her. She paused for a moment to adjust to his size then proceeded to start moving. Callie gripped his hands as her voice started to fill the room, dropping her head to give Brayden a soft kiss. Brayden was her entire universe. She had moved halfway across the country just to be with him, leaving her family and friends behind. She could even see herself spending the rest of her life with him.

@ Dandy Darling;

Emily was pleasantly surprised at his words, her green eyes lighting up as she looked at him. "You promise?" She asked, smiling as she sat up, thinking it over in her mind. He had to have seen some incredible places in his lifetime and she was amazed that he was willing to share them with her. There was so much of the world she hadn't seen, but he could show her a whole new world. She was still so young and inexperienced, she felt like he knew much more than she did and he'd be able to show her things she'd never even dreamed of. His question had taken her by surprise, since she hadn't paid any attention to how much time had passed since they'd gotten together. Evidently a lot of time had passed, since at his inquiry she did realize she was hungry. "Yeah, let's go," she decided, getting up to walk to the pond, bending over and picking up a rock before skipping it across the water, watching as it sank. The two ducks were still floating around each other and it made her smile. She turned to look at Oliver, who'd remained seated for a moment, thumbing at the flower behind her ear. "Are you ready?"

--

Brayden gritted his teeth as he felt her, really felt her, all around him as she lowed herself onto him slowly. It was a feeling he'd never forget. He thrusted his hips up, gradually speeding up as he met her careful movements, holding her closer so their chests pressed against each other, giving her soft lips multiple soft kisses as their breathing got a little heavier, breaths mixed together as he looked into her beautiful eyes. She was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen in his life and from the moment he first met her, he knew he had to have her. That was still very much true now because she was the only thing he really wanted. As long as he had her, there was no place else he'd rather be, no one else he'd rather be with. "I love you," he murmured to her, squeezing her hands, dedicating the moment to his memory. He needed her, he needed her with every fiber of his being and he refused to let her go. Not now, not ever.

@ Miley Cyrus;

Seeing her eyes light up at the idea of exploring the world together, Oliver could never refuse it, especially since he had offered in the first place. "Yes, I do promise. You let me know when you plan on taking off." He slowly removed his hand back down to his side as she sat up. There were so many places in the world that they could explore. Maybe he could even discover new adventures for himself. As they left, Oliver decided to skip a rock for himself and watched it disappear down the pond. It might have skipped three to four times before sinking to the bottom. "Yes, after you." He smiled while walking outside of the gates to the botanical gardens. They walked back out onto the street to be met with the noise of the city. Oliver almost wished that they had stayed inside of the peaceful sanctuary. "You may pick the place since I picked the previous one." He stated while they were forced to start moving by the other walkers.

--

Callie's pleasure only magnified when he started to thrust from beneath her, filling her even further. Her chest brushed softly against his with every moment, and her breathing became heavier as tension began build in her stomach. Locking eyes with him, her cheeks were flushed, hot. She became mesmerized by his crystal clear, blue eyes. His eyes had captured her from the start, seeing him at a party. The whole entire time, her eyes had always been on a look out for him, noticing him out of the corner of eye. Now, Brayden was hers. Many bumps in the road had occurred since then, but they were together. She would not trade anything else in the world for that. A soft smile formed on her lips, leaning down to brush her nose against his. "I love you, too." She reciprocated back then pulled away slightly after a gentle kiss. He was her first love, and no one could ever replace that.

@ Dandy Darling;

It was strange for her, walking out of the botanical gardens and into the real world again. All the noises of the city came crashing down upon her, the steady traffic and hustle and bustle of the people there. It was strange, as if they'd come out of another world. Emily took his hand, not wanting to be far apart from him with all the people around them, thinking for a moment before she nodded. "I know just the place." She led him up the sidewalk and down another street before they entered a cafe, the scent of freshly brewed coffee greeting them at the door. "I come here sometimes," she explained, sliding into a booth by the door. "They make really good sandwiches. It's made fresh every morning, so it's pretty good." She'd discovered the cafe after a long day and it kind of stuck with her ever since. She plucked a couple of stray petals off of her dress and laid them out on the table between them, a reminder of their fun afternoon.

--

Brayden's hands fell to her hips, guiding her up and down on top of him, his head tilted back as he enjoyed the pleasure that came with it. One of his hands moved up, cupping her breast in his palm and squeezing it. He locked eyes with her, thinking how gorgeous she looked, coming undone above him. Everything about her, every move she made, made his body react in the most positive of ways. Ever since they first met he gravitated towards her, having known immediately that there was something different about her. She was a special girl and he didn't know how he ever could've saw anything in any girlfriends before her. He held her as close as possible, feeling the heat radiating between him, as the pleasure grew greater. She always knew how to drive him crazy and he loved it, he loved her, and every part of her. Sure, things could get crazy sometimes, but it wasn't love if it wasn't crazy.

@ Miley Cyrus;

Oliver interlaced their fingers together, figuring that it would be easier to not lose each other. Nodding his head, he followed her down one of the side streets that many people seemed to pass. As they walked further down, the noise of the city started to fade in the distance. Just a few feet down, he smelled the scent of freshly brewed coffee in the air and already had an idea of where he was being brought. It was a quaint little cafe that was practically a hole in the wall. It was obvious that everyone inside of the shop knew each other from the way they greeted Emily. The cashier started to whisper to the Barista, wondering who he was. One guessed boyfriend while the other guessed distant cousin. "It's unfortunate. I do miss the taste of human food." He told her while they sat down at one of the tables. Seeing the petals scattered, he gave a small chuckle. There would be no way he could forget their journey through the botanical gardens.

--

The heat continued to intensify inside of her as they moved in sync. Arching her back slightly, her chest pressed right up against his broad, strong one. She moved her hands to tightly grip his shoulder, careful not to dig her nails. Callie did not want him to have another thing to heal. Feeling her climax starting to approach, she picked up the pace of her hips, relishing in the moment. Soon, they would have to return back to reality. She wished that they would stay inside of their own little paradise for a little longer, with no worries to think about. Just her and Brayden without an vicious ghost lingering around them. A few moments later she was pushed over the edge and released, her mind blanking for a moment. Callie collapsed on top of him too catch her breath, still panting from her recent release. "I love you." She repeated with a smile on her face, kissing him gently once more.

@ Dandy Darling;

Emily's cheeks flushed a little as the employees whom she'd come to know seemed to show interest in whom she'd brought in with her that day. They were just friends, but she supposed to a random bystander they didn't look like it. At his words, she felt sympathetic, remembering that he didn't eat human food. She supposed she'd be dining alone again, then, just as she had the other night. "I completely forgot about that. Well, at least you don't have to worry about getting fat," she pointed out, trying to look on the bright side of things. She couldn't imagine never tasting a cheesecake again or waking up early and putting coffee to brew. Although, she supposed, over time you'd simply adapt to something like that. When the waitress came to take their order, Emily ordered a water and a simple Italian sandwich. She might've been human, but her appetite remained small.

--

Brayden continued to moan her name as Callie pressed her chest against his, feeling the curvature of her back as she arched it, her hands gripping his broad shoulders. He held her slender hips tightly, continuing to guide her body against his, feeling heat stirring inside of him. His grip on her tightened for a moment as their hips moved quickly into each other's, breathing erratically as they reached their climax, feeling her body start to shake before he arched into her one last time, spilling his seed inside of her. As she collapsed on top of him, he held her tight, kissing her sweaty forehead. "And I love you, don't ever forget that," he told her, smiling back at her as they shared another gentle kisses. In that moment, he didn't care what horrors the next day would bring, all he could think about was here and now with her.

@ Miley Cyrus;

"Yes, I do suppose that not gaining weight is a positive. My kind remain exactly the same when the change happens. This is what I have looked like for the past.. hundreds of years." He shared as he thought back to when he underwent the change. It was possibly the most excruciating pain in his life, but Oliver did not have a choice at the time. "My favorite food used to be a bread and cheese. Back in the day, there was little variety to the food. Bread and cheese was affordable, and it tasted wonderful. Now, you practically have all different cultures of food right in the city. That is something I am quite jealous of." Oliver wondered what the taste of a hamburger was like or even the taste of a burrito. "I tried eating human food once after the change.. My body did not react well to it, especially my taste buds." He shook his head since he had been disposing of the sandwich all day.

--

Callie paused for a moment while her heart rate slowed, placing a kiss against over his own beating heart. Underneath her lips, she could feel that it was still pounding, making her smile. "I wouldn't forget it for the world." She responded back, leaning her head back down onto his chest, letting out a sigh of relaxation. Her fingertips traced small patterns against his collarbone as they settled into the quiet silence. For once, Callie enjoyed the peacefulness that existed in their little bubble. Tomorrow, there would be another thing for them to face, but, for now, she closed her eyes. She could hear the sound of his heartbeat against her ear, slowly lulling her to sleep.

@ Dandy Darling;

Emily was surprised and a little impressed by his admission. She could see him, in a much different time period, as a human. There must be so many foods he's never even gotten to try, she thought. It didn't sound very pleasant, but she supposed that's what you traded when you chose immortality. "My favorite food is probably..ravioli. I like getting the cheesy kind from restaurants. Although when I was a kid, a bread and cheese was something I enjoyed a lot," she shared, thinking about how she would eat it for breakfast and sometimes for lunch. There was something about the simple food that made her smile. It quickly dissipated as his next admittance, though. "Oh, that sounds terrible," she sympathized, thinking it was probably food poisoning in the worst form. "I'm still making you a cake for your birthday, though."

--

Brayden couldn't help but smile as he looked at her. He'd never felt this way about any girl in his life and that was something that he held dear to himself. Callie was special, there was no doubt about that. He wrapped his arm around around her once she leaned her head back down onto his chest, relaxing as her fingertips traced small patterns against his collarbone. He closed his eyes, resting his head back against the pillows. He felt worn out and this time it was for a good reason. He grabbed the blanket, pulling it over the two of them, smiling when he heard the sound of her small snores. Taking his cue from her, he closed his eyes again, tilting his head off to the side, and promptly fell asleep.

@ Miley Cyrus;

"Oh, yes, a ravioli. Those look quite delicious. What do they taste like?" He questioned, slightly remember what Human food tasted like. After years of drinking blood, Oliver's memories of Human food started to dull. There was not much that he could remember about the taste of cheese, but the taste of stale bread always remained. Sometimes he missed the taste of human food, the way that the taste buds could pick apart the slightest tangyness or spice. Oliver chuckled at her next comment since he had been horrible, flashing back to the memory. "I appreciate it, but I do hope that you can eat an entire cake then. You can have a piece for me as well." He smiled since it would be a shame to throw away all her hard work. At first, he had just asked to make a ploy to cover up his true nature, but Oliver could actually be honest with her now.

--

Callie hoped for a peaceful slumber one without any terrors to wake her in the middle of the night. It would be a perfect way to conclude the rest of her day, but, alas, the ghost had other plans for her. They were inside of a blank space, staring at each other. Then, the ghost started to circle around her body as if admiring how well she had taken care of it. "Mmm, I can't wait to get inside of there. Your boyfriend's body was stronger, of course, but yours is.. exquisite." Callie shivered as the woman reached out to twirl her brown locks around her finger. "D-Don't touch me." She moved away from the ghost's touch, which only prompted a giggle in return. It angered Callie that she found amusement in this. "You will be mine, Callie." Was the last thing said before Callie awoke from the nightmare with a gasp. Panicking for a moment, she glanced around the room until her eyes fell upon Brayden beneath her. She sighed, wiping away some of the sweat that had formed on her brow.

@ Dandy Darling;

"Well, it's made out of cheese, and then it has another kind of cheese in the middle, so people who don't like a lot of cheese hate it." She laughed, picturing in her mind her favorite food. 'You can't have a birthday without a cake," Emily insisted, "although, I won't force you to eat it, I'm not that cruel." She stuck her tongue out at him, laughing as she thought about what kind of cake she'd make. Definitely a small one, but besides that she wasn't quite sure yet. "I like cake, but I'm more of a fan of cupcakes cause I like to lick the frosting off the top. Besides that then they're basically muffins." She paused when the waitress brought her sandwich, waiting for her to leave before she continued. "When I worked at the bakery, I used to take all the leftover ones home and I had a pretty steady collection of assorted cupcakes going on, on my counter."

--

Brayden saw images in his mind, lots of fire, people shouting, the blurred images of people running. He couldn't get a clear view on what exactly it was he was looking at, but it seemed to be a huge fire. He could feel the warmth of it, the heat of the fire on his skin. He heard someone laughing before his eyes opened and he realized he was at home, safe. For now, anyways. He noticed Callie was slightly perched up and she looked a little troubled so he sat up beside her, wrapping his arms around her and holding her close. "What's wrong babe?" He murmured, giving her neck a soft kiss as he held her in his arms. He could feel her slightly shaking against him and knew something had to have happened. "Are you having bad dreams again?"

@ Miley Cyrus;

Hearing her description of it, Oliver nodded his head slowly until it became faster as he had a clearer picture. "Ah, I see. That sounds like an interesting item to taste." It was a shame he could not remember the taste of cheese for Emily seemed to enjoy it. "Yes, that would be true if you were a Human. Unfortunately, I cannot eat your cake, but I am sure that it would look appetizing to any Human." Oliver chuckled while she stuck her tongue out, knowing that she was not that cruel. "I have seen people make towers out of cupcakes. That would substitute well as a cake." He offered as a supplement to suit her tastes. Pausing, he waited until the waitress disappeared to continue on with the conversation. "I am sure that must have been a delight, seeing all the cupcakes piling up. What would you do to the ones you could not eat?"

--

Callie looked down to meet Brayden's gaze and attempted to offer a smile of reassurance. "Sorry, did I wake you up?" She asked, afraid that she interrupted his sleep. Sleep was something not easy to come by the past few days. Callie gave a soft sigh at his lips against the side of her neck, attempting to relax into his arms. "Y-Yeah, it was a really bad dream. It was like... I was some sort of trophy that she was looking at. She kept repeating that I would be hers. It was awful." Her voice was shaking as she explained the whole entire ordeal. Wrapping her arms around him, Callie looked up into his beautiful eyes and found the warmth that she had been searching for. "I'll be okay." She reassured him since she only needed a moment to pull herself together.

@ Dandy Darling;

"Maybe. Maybe I'll bake some cupcakes instead. At least you can admire how pretty they look." Emily laughed, pausing to take a couple bites from her sandwich before she continued. "With the ones I couldn't eat, I'd just arrange them or redecorate them to turn them into displays. At least then we'd make the most out of them." Emily nodded, thinking about the many different cupcake themes she'd tried before. "I hate that I can't make any for you, I know you'd enjoy them if you could." Her lips pursed into a pout. Food was one thing she couldn't share with him, and until now she hadn't realized how much a part of daily life it was. She thought of something and slightly perked up, tilting her head at him. "Your birthday is in a few weeks, have you decided yet what it is that you want to do?"

--

"No, no, I'm fine," he assured her, although her movement had helped to shake him from his strange dream. "I figured as much. I think it's because there was a fire or something.." He paused to explain his own dream, recalling fire and people running. "Her body, I saw it in the basement. It was an old charred up skeleton. I think she burned alive in the fire. That's probably why she wants to possess yours, since you've got such a nice body." There was a hint of a coy smile on his face as he held her tighter, giving her lips a peck. Then, his demeanor turned more serious. "We have to figure out a way to get rid of her, once and for all. Before she tries to get rid of us."

@ Miley Cyrus;

"Yes, and there would be less of them to eat as opposed to a cake." He also pointed out, liking the cupcake idea more. Oliver appreciated that everything would be reused and recycled for another project now-a-days. Back in the day, everything was wasted, such as tossing food into the trash or lighting papers on fire. Now, society used recycling and used what used to be labeled as trash for another use. "I am sure that I would enjoy them as well." He offered a smile to cheer up her spirits since he was disappointed as well. Even though he was upset that he could no longer eat food, Oliver learned to live with what he had. "No, I have not had the chance to think about it, but maybe you could brainstorm with me. After all, you will be there to celebrate with me."

--

As he went on to continue his dream, Callie started to believe that she must have received the lesser evil. The idea of dying inside of a burning building all alone terrified her. "That would also explain why the building was so rundown and decayed when we went inside." It perked her spirits that they were slowly piecing the puzzle together. Hopefully, it would be fast enough. Callie paused to roll her eyes for a moment at the latter comment, but, of course, she did appreciate the boost to her ego. "The ghost did mention how she enjoyed the strength of your body." She added on, giving a small poke to his stomach. Nodding her head, she knew that this would have to be done soon. "I feel like she's always a step ahead of us."

@ Dandy Darling;

"Alright, cupcake it is then." Emily smiled, satisfied that at least that aspect of his birthday was taken care of. She already knew what flavor she was going to use, and she knew he'd enjoy what she had in store for him, even if he couldn't eat it himself. Emily took a couple more bites of her sandwich, putting it down when he finished talking and tapped at her chin thoughtfully. "Well, we should come up with something together, since we're celebrating. You sure there's not anything that you'd like for us to do together? Maybe we'll try something new, or go somewhere we've never been before." She rested her hand under her chin, her mind whirling with the possibilities.

--

"You're right. The other bodies...well, it was too horrible for me to really look at, you know, but.." He tried to remember, to take himself back in his mind. It was the only time that he'd ever want to go back to that horrible place. "I think she was in there alone. The other bodies that were there looked like they were from a different time. Like, other people who'd decided to go exploring in there." He shuddered, thinking about how close they'd been when they'd gone exploring the first time. "I don't know what happened, but I think she was the one that started the fire. She was laughing while she burned." The hairs on the back of his neck stood up and he shook his head. He chuckled as Callie spoke, looking down at himself before looking back at her, wiggling his eyebrows. "Chicks from every time period love my bod. I haven't gone to the gym all week though, I'm slacking..." Of course, there hadn't actually been time for that, but he ignored it. "She might be for now but she won't be for long. We'll figure this out, babe, together."

@ Miley Cyrus;

Oliver's goal was to experiences new things with Emily. If he already knew the surprise or the thrill, it would not be the same. He sorted through all of his memories and started to check off certain activities off his list. There had been mountain climbing, going to the beach, jumping out of a plane, etc. Since Oliver had ample time on his hands, he had experienced most of the joys of life. "I would love for us to do something that day as a first experience. That way, it would be something new for the both of us. I do not mind what that activity may be though, because I am sure it will be fun either way." Oliver stated while his thoughts were elsewhere. "I have never visited the Bahamas before." He offered unsure if she would be willing to make the journey.

--

Callie nodded her head slightly, knowing what he meant. There was no need for him to elaborate on the decaying bodies in the fire. "Oh, god. That's horrible." She mumbled at the tragic fate of other travelers. The ghost would not stop until her revenge was complete. Then, the whole entire cycle would start again when other unknowing travelers came along once more. Feeling his body shudder, she squeezed him gently in her arms. "We were lucky. We made it out of there alive, and that's all we can be grateful for. Well, until we completely wreck this ghost's ass." She soothed him and placed a kiss against his collarbone softly. "Why does that not surprise me?" Callie shook her head slightly since their ghost would be a pyromaniac. "The fire extinguisher is underneath the sink in the kitchen." She reminded him just to be prepared. "Even if other 'chicks' do love your body, it still belongs to me. And I am pretty sure you just had an amazing workout." Callie countered while she flashed a devilish grin. Taking a more serious note, she knew that they would work through this. "Yeah, we will."

@ Dandy Darling;

Emily tried to come up with several things in her mind, but she knew Oliver probably had experience with most of them, unlike she who barely had any experience with anything. Her short life was very mundane, and only the recent events that had transpired were new experiences for her. This was the most excitement she'd ever really had. "I haven't either. Do you want to? We can make it our very first new experience together." Her eyes lit up at the suggestion, thinking it over in her head. It sounded amazing. She could picture the two of them on the beach, white sand between their toes. It did sound kind of scary, being so far away from home, but she wouldn't mind the experience as long as he was there with her to enjoy it.

--

Brayden nodded in agreement, thinking about the poor travelers who'd met their demise at the hands of this evil ghost. He hoped they could get rid of her once and for all, not just for their sake, but so she could never harm another person again. He smiled, though, when her lips touched his collarbone. He rubbed his nose gently against hers as she spoke, chuckling to himself. "Perhaps she really is a witch," he mused, thinking about her being burned alive. He grinned when Callie spoke, leaning in and kissing her. "My body is always yours, babe. I'm glad you keep me in shape, babe, I don't know what I'd do without you." His grin matched hers before he got more serious, nodded in agreement. "Where should we start? I mean, we know where her body is, we know she wants a new one. We know she died in a fire that she probably started. So the real question is, how do we kill her? How do you kill a ghost?" He was stumped. He'd never gotten that far in thought. He couldn't fathom how they'd be able to kill her, but he knew that there had to be some way. Whatever way that was, they'd find it.

@ Miley Cyrus;

He was excited to hear that she had never experienced the wonderful islands of the Bahamas. "Yes, I believe it will be a good experience for the both us. A place where we can just relax, away from the city. It will be like the botanical gardens, except on the beach." Oliver could already see the excitement sparkling in her eyes as well. "If money is a problem, I have a enough in my savings to take care of the both of us, especially from over the years." He reassured her since he wanted to take her to the Bahamas with him. It seemed like a wonderful place from the pictures that people posted on the internet. "We could always go somewhere else, if that does not agree with you though." Oliver did not want her to feel obligated to have to go somewhere outside of the country.

--

"Then, we would really need to burn her at a stake." She wondered how that would even be possible. Anything to keep this ghost from harming other innocent people though. A soft smile crossed her features when he leaned forward to kiss her, feeling the tingle on her lips. "Actually, I'm not really sure what I'd do without you either." She laughed in returned then grew silent at the next question. That was the golden question that neither could answer. "Do you think that we could visit one of those experts?" Callie asked, remembering a few famous names continuously appearing throughout the articles. Apparently, they were experts in the supernatural studies. One of them just happened to be two towns over as well. "I am sure that, if anything, they would know what to do. I just don't want to go around and accidentally make a mistake. Then, she gets some new magical power or something." Callie was sure that the ghost had too many abilities as it was already. There were too many possibly ways to approach that problem, but neither were sure which was the correct one to take.

As Oliver continued to speak, Emily felt the excitement inside of her growing and practically threatening to spill out. She could hardly believe that he wanted her to take part in an amazing adventure like this with him. "Well, if you're sure this is what you want to do for your birthday then I'm all for it. I've never been before and I'm absolutely certain that we'll both love it." She smiled, reaching across the table to give his hand a squeeze as she looked up at him. "I'd be honored to go to the Bahamas with you."

--

"Maybe burning her body again like a witch and actually giving her a proper burial will put her ghost to rest," Brayden suggested. He'd never actually heard about that working, but he'd seen it in a couple different movies and it worked on most of them. "I'd be so lost without you," he insisted, leaning his head down to kiss her fingers repeatedly. At her next suggeston, he immediately perked up, wondering why he hadn't thought of it. "That sounds like an incredible idea. Perhaps a professional will know how to get rid of her once and for all. At least then we can get on with our lives."

@ Dandy Darling;

@ Miley Cyrus;

Oliver would make sure that they would create memories together on this trip, even though the mere experience would be enough. "I am delighted that you feel this way. You can leave all the planning to me, so you merely have to pack your bags when the time comes." He took out his notepad from his chest pocket to scribble down a note. Oliver decided that he would figure out the vacation as soon as possible, considering his birthday was a mere few weeks away. "I will let you know the details as soon as I plan the trip."
