Cry of Fear and VenturianTale P.I.E. Crossover *DISCONTINUED*

Part 31: Up Again

Ghost squeezed his eyes shut as Spooker fell.

"Spooks!" Colon cried, running to his friend.

Oh God, I killed him... he thought.

"Jimmy, you bastard!" he screamed out loud. Jimmy stayed oddly quiet.

Jimmy...? he thought, confused.

Silence.

He opened his eyes and moved his hands. He was still in control.

He sighed shakily and tried to calm down.

"Sir, look at me," Toast's voice said.

Ghost looked up at his British friend. Toast sighed with relief, then said, "Sir, we need an explanation."

"It-It's Jimmy..." Ghost whimpered, "He's in my head..."

"That's... vague," Simon observed.

Ghost glanced at Spooker. He was laying down, and Colon was sitting next to him.

"Is he okay?" he asked, trying to steady his voice.

Colon glanced up and answered, "He's alive, just not conscious."

Dammit! Jimmy snarled in his head.

"Get out!" Ghost shouted, "This is my body! You're just a parasite!"

That wasn't very nice, Ghostie, Jimmy observed.

"Neither is killing people!" Ghost growled in response. He noticed the others looking at him in concern.

Look, I'm not leaving, Jimmy cackled, And it's not like you could get me out, even if you tried!

Ghost sighed. Look just let me finish this mission in peace, he thought, Then when we get home, you can kill whoever you want. We can actually die here.

What does a killer's promise mean? Jimmy asked in a dark tone.

"I'm not the killer here!" Ghost snapped.

"Are you... okay?" Simon asked warily.

Ghost's mouth moved on it's own as Jimmy hissed, "This is none of your business! We're compromising!"

"Stop," Ghost growled.

You'd better keep that promise, buddy, Jimmy thought, You'll regret it if you don't!

Ghost sighed as Jimmy's presence faded from his mind.

"I'm okay," he whispered to himself.

"Sir...?" Toast asked softly.

"He's gone," Ghost said, "Can I be untied?"

Toast began to reach for the bindings on his wrists when Simon grabbed his arm.

"What the hell are you doing?!" he growled.

Toast frowned. "Look, kid, if he says that whatever was possessing him is gone, I'll believe it," Toast said, "I've always trusted his judgement in the past. Sure, sometimes it wasn't the best... B-But he's been a great leader and best friend, and what he says goes."

Simon huffed and let go. Toast untied him, and suddenly, Jimmy returned in full force.

You really thought I'd honor my end?! Jimmy cackled, You're so STUPID!

Ghost took a deep breath and closed his eyes, focusing on keeping control.

What?! What are you doing?! Jimmy shrieked.

You're not taking me anymore, Ghost thought calmly.

Jimmy screamed in rage, trying harder to take control.

Ghost could hear the voices of the others calling out for him. A firm hand on his arm made him open his eyes.

"Ghost," Toast said, concern in his voice.

Jimmy's presence began fading, and Ghost knew that he was losing his grip.

"Yeah, I'm okay," Ghost said with a smile as Jimmy left.

Toast smiled back, and they heard a quiet groan from behind them.

Ghost looked back to see Colon helping Spooker sit up.

"Did it work...?" Spooker asked Colon drowsily.

"Sure," Simon replied.

Spooker smiled goofily.

"Do you think you can walk?" Colon asked.

Spooker shrugged, then said, "Maybe in a few minutes."

Ghost thought for a minute, then smiled when he heard Jimmy grumbling angrily to himself.

I'm in control, Ghost thought smugly, Now you can't hurt anyone.

Just you wait... Jimmy growled.

Probably a lot of misspelling but I'll review it later-
