Y/N'S Pov:

"Are you sure its safe!? Didn't like 7 people get murdered there?" Y/FN says worried for your safety,  and slightly  paranoid.

"it will be fine Y/FN, great aunty Edith said that as long as I don't disturb these so called "ghosts" ill be fine. Besides, I doubt I'd get killed anyway, and I'm only going for a week, to help with inspiration for my new novel" I reply fumbling the keys into the old, rusty lock.

"Ok, but if I don't get a call from you tomorrow I'm calling the cops, and don't say something like 'oh what if my phone died or something' because it wouldn't alright!, you'd be dea-"

"Ok, ok I get it, ill call you tomorrow don't worry, I've got to go. ill be fine" I say cutting her off before hanging up.

I walk into the old, deteriorating Allerdale Hall, the old home of the Sharpe's', and the crime scene of countless murders, which happens to be inhabited by the ghosts of the victim's, well at least that's what the rumors' are anyway. I doubt the ghosts are real, great Aunty Edith was probably hallucinating because they were poisoning her, but there is one to two people, or ghosts I expect to see there. Well either way, I have to live here for a week, so might as well get comfy.

Y/N walks carefully up the staircase, unsure if it will hold her weight. She looks in the rooms, shaking her head with each one, until she finds the master bedroom, Thomas's old room. She decided this was cozy enough and dropped her bags, pulled out her book, quill and ink, and began writing, although pencils and typewriters were more commonly used, she preferred the sleek black lines of the ink, to the grainy markings of the pencil, or the fumbley piece of equipment. there is something soothing about dunking my quill into the ink pot, and expressing my thoughts and ideas onto a piece of parchment for others to read and hopefully enjoy...

Thomas's Pov
'Who is this woman, why is she in my house, let alone my bedroom. I don't recognize her, but she reminds me of someone, Edith, Maybe she's in relation? Why is she here'. I Start to walk towards her when I accidentally bump into a vase, it smashing on the floor. She turns around in shock, And freezes, can she see me? No one has seen me other than Edith, Lucille and the Damned since my death. I haven't seen Edith in many years, I hope she is ok, she probably married that Dr. Alan whatever his last name was, he seemed nice. As long as he made her happy, I'm at peace.

Y/N Pov

*Smash*, I turn around quickly after I hear something smash behind me, i expected to see nothing, the cause being the wind. But I did not expect to see A ghost, but not just any ghost, the ghost of Sir Thomas Sharpe Himself. I Freeze, for a ghost he is very handsome, I can see why Great Aunty Edith fell for him all those years ago. Cheekbones and a jawline so sharp they could cut diamonds, Baby blue eyes clearer than an Alaskan Lake, black slightly curly hair that I wish I could bury my hands into. I have yet to hear his voice but I'm sure it will sound sexy. At first I didn't realize I was looking at a ghost, he looks perfectly healthy and alive, when referring to ghosts people usualy mean wispy, almost transparent, non solid beings, with little to no color to them, but this, this was different. A different type of ghost perhaps. He starts to move closer, but instead of moving backwards in fear, I advance towards him, matching his pace. 

Thomas's Pov

Why isn't she afraid of me? Maybe Edith told her about me? when Edith saw me, after Lucille, well...killed me, and Edith her. I was a ghost, white form, barely solid, I was surprised when Edith brought her hand to my face that it didn't faze through me. Lucille Became a black ghost, while the damned still roam, moan, groan and haunt the various rooms and halls of the manor. She is an almost perfect resemblance to Edith. and it appears she was writing before I entered the room. just like Edith used to. She begins to walk towards me. that's strange, I expected her to back away from me. She brings her hand to my cheek, I rest my hand in it. I don't know when i became solid, taking back my human form, I can still faze out, mostly to escape my sisters rage, even in death she still hates me for falling inn love with someone other than her, and now the fact that I'm now, well human wouldn't be the way to put it, i am dead, just not the ghost that she is, more of a walker or zombie than ghost, but still able to appear and disappear like one, whilst she is still ghostly.  her hand is warm, a feeling I haven't felt in a while, both warmth and human touch. She says something that surprises me, i never thought she would say it. 

"Shh, its ok Thomas, your safe. You don't need to fear anymore. Great Aunty Edith told me a lot about you. At first she was still shook about how you tried to kill her. Then she realized it was all Lucille, she just manipulated you into turning a blind eye. She doesn't hate you Thomas, in fact she misses you.  There's two reasons why I came up here. One was to find inspiration for my novel, but the other was to find you. To help you to be at peace with yourself. I know this may seem crazy, but I think you might be able to have a second chance at life. A new name, new life. With your knowledge in entrepreneurship you could revolutionize not clay mining, but something way more valuable, Oil. Thomas I believe you have good in you, you have a chance to start over, redeem yourself, but only if you want to. Ill be there with you if that's what you require, you wont have to go about it alone. So what do you say Thomas? Ready to face the world again?"

"Yes"
