〰️The Ghost with no Home〰️

Hello?

Ghosts are very interesting creatures,or could I say people. When a person dies their soul leaves their body leaving behind a dead corpse. Their soul then leaves to the after life obtaining final peace, and freedom. However, sometimes the soul decides to stay on earth and turn into a ghost.

They woke up in a forest, a mossy forest. Standing up and dusting them selves off they looked at their hands. Their hands were an abnormal pale colour and semi transparent. They tried to remember any thing from their past life like their name, friends, family, home, anything but all they could remember is getting stabbed to death in the same exact place where they woke up. Having no idea of what to do they wandered in to the depths of the dark forest.

Octavian slowly close the heavy oak door and walked dow n the cobblestone pathway leading into a dark forest. The forest was a mix spouse and pine trees, and after the recent rain the forest smelled like pine and water. He walked down the forest trail having absolutely no idea where to go. The old forest was foggy giving it a slightly blueish tone. Octavian walked across an old bridge looking down at the small water hitting the jagged rocks and descending into the dark abyss of the green forest. Octavian walked off the bridge walking further and further into the forest. In about thirty minutes the boy sat down on a mossy rock taking out a midnight black sketchbook and sketching a small, blue, three-eyed mushroom, which stood there an observed the world around it. Octavian was so considered on  drawing the little mushroom that he didn't notice someone coming up behind him. A small "hello?" broke Octavian out of his trance. He wiped around to see a semi transparent creature floating slightly above the mossy ground. The figure looked to be about 15 so the same age as the astonished person in front of it.

" Uhhh. Hello?" is all Octavian could say. There were almost no ghosts in this world especially not in a forest like this one. So seeing one was almost impossible.

" Are you alright ? " asked the ghost " I didn't mean to scare you "

" No-no I'm ok, it's just not everyday you see a lonely ghost"  Octavian looked at the ghost trying to take in their featured

" What's your name name, if you don't mind me asking ? " said the boy muffling the last part of his sentence. The ghost slightly tilted their head to the side looking straight into Octavian's green eyes. After a small pause they. finally answered.

" No I don't " the ghost looked back at the ground " Maybe you could give me one "

This is the first time Octavian actually took a good look at the creature in front of him. The ghost had messy black hair, and light grey eyes that so cold but so warm at the same time. They were wearing a back button-up shirt which contrasted perfectly with their pale white skin. The shirt had a rip on the right side, the kind you would get if you were impaled by a sharp object. The ghost's hands and palms were bandaged up and had a few blood stains at the knuckles. However the still ghost gave off a friendly but calm demeanour. Not knowingly Octavian started to compare the ghost to himself. They were both so similar but so different at the same time. Octavian himself had jet black hair that was styled in neat semi-curls that would sometimes get in view when he was reading or drawing. The black haired boy also had stunning green eyes that also had a mix of amber making them look like a forest on a warm autumn day. There was an other thing that would stick out of the boys appearance, he had two long pointy ears telling the observer that they were talking to a high elf, although his fashion sense would tell the observer otherwise  . The boy was wearing a collared shirt with a light brown jumper over the white shirt. Octavian was also wearing a dark brown long trench coat that swayed slightly at the midnight forest breeze.    (this whole analysis happened in a span of a few seconds so, Sherlock powers)

" Do you like the name Nox ?" Octavian looked at the ghost who was now standing on the mossy ground. The ghost mumbled the name under their breath as if trying out their new given name.

" I actually really like that name, thank you ". Nox smiled slightly looking at the long abandoned blue mushroom.

" I am glad to be of service " Octavian answered in an overly British accent. He already had a slight British accent but this little act made made the white haired ghost laugh at the other boy's antiques.

" You know what? You should come with me to my house, it can get a little lonely living alone in a giant mansion with no one to talk to." said the elf and started to walk towards the way where he came from.

" Why do you live alone?" Nox asked trailing behind the tall elf.

" My family died when I was ten. Before I used to live with a family friend in a small cottage at the edge of the forest. But when I turned 15 I received the heritage my parents left me which included the family mansion in which I live right now." Octavian finished his little story sadly smiling at the fond memory.

" I don't really remember what family is like, but you seem to be fond of yours and I am sure that that's a good thing" said Nox and continued to float after the jet-hair. The two walked in comfortable silence the rest of the way and down the cobblestone path leading straight to the heavy oak doors. Octavian opened the doors and let the ghost ghost in. Nox looked around in astonishment observing the gigantic lobby that was made out of dark wood giving it a dark and historic aesthetic.

"So make your self at home, I'll get you a room to sleep in" said Octavian and walked off.

"Thank you"
