I. Chapter 10: The winds of the past

I lay in bed, in the guest room, and could not sleep, I raised my head from the pillow and looked at Colin, he slept soundly, well... at least he. I put my head back on the pillow, closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep, at some point, I even managed to, I almost fell asleep when suddenly the door to the room opened.

I strained my ears, I heard someone approach me, I opened my eyes. Princess Luna was standing next to Colin's bed.

"Princess Luna, what are you doing here?"

"Oh! Rainbow Dash, you scared me"

"What are you doing here?" - I asked, again

"I... I wanted to look into the Colin memories Aand..." - Luna didn't finish

"And what?"

"I'm afraid... I'm afraid to sleep in my room" - Luna said, a bit stressed

"Alright, I know what you mean, Twilight told me about that. You still cannot calm down, am I right?"

"Y-yes, I-I'm scared, I'm really afraid to be alone anywhere, I'm afraid that... It is gonna get me or... It is gonna get him"

I felt sorry for Luna after what she had survived. She managed to escape after meeting with the demon, there was little missing, and he really could have killed her.

"This is one of the reasons I stayed here. I was supposed to go back to Ponyville, to help prepare a birthday party for Colin, but... I couldn't leave him alone in here. I wanted to defend him, if necessary."

"So... His birthday is tomorrow?" - Luna asked

"Yes, Pinkie saves it in a notebook. So... You want to look into his memories?"

"Yes, I would like to know his past, I'd like to know what's bothering him and help him if it's possible" - Luna said, then her horn shone

"Wait" - I said

"What?"

"Can I also look into his memories?" - I asked

"Are you sure about that? I don't know, what can wait for us there"

"Absolutely, I want to know what's going on, I want to help him too"

"All right, stand by me, close your eyes and focus" - Luna said

I did what Luna said, I stood in one place. I kept my eyes closed all the time, I felt a bit strange as if I was floating, and then... it was completely normal.

"Okay, open your eyes" - Luna said

I opened my eyes and saw a huge space, I looked around, there was some sort of... round holes, or... bubbles, I don't know how to specify them, there were pictures in them, some were very clear, some were a bit less, others are almost completely blurred.

"That's all, it's his memories?" - I asked

"Yes, but we will focus on the strongest memories, those who cannot be forgotten" - Luna said

"Which will we start with?"

"Maybe from this, it seems to be stable" - Luna said, coming up to the bubble

I looked at what was in front of me. Colin and some girl were on it.

"Hmm, interesting"

"What's so interesting?" - I asked

"This memory is... almost the oldest, and yet... it happened quite recently, where are the childhood memories? Only... much older"

"Yeah, it's a bit suspicious" - I said

"But... there is not much of this and... not one by one, it looks as if these memories just disappeared. Well, maybe just let's check it out"

When I came to the memory with Luna, the surroundings immediately changed, humans were everywhere, they were kids of Colin's age, some were even older. Everyone walked and talked to each other, on various topics, I realized that it was a school corridor.

"I've never seen so many humans at once" - I said looking around

Then I saw Colin sitting by the wall with some girl, they both laughed. Me and Luna decided to approach them.

"Ashley, I'm serious. I tell him, Mike! do not do it, don't jump from that tree, it'll end badly" - Colin said

"And what's happened next?" - Ashley asked

"He jumped and... unfortunately, now has a left leg in a cast"

"That's why he was not in school for so long, tell me... did you visit him in the hospital?"

"Yes, we sat down a little, we talked, you know... just like friends" - Colin said

"By the way, I wanted to ask you something"

"What is going on?"

"You know... lately you are some strange, you talk to me less often, you always go so... grim, sad, I also noticed that you have bruises, cuts, scratches"

"Ashley, I'm fine" - Colin said soothingly

"I'm worried about you, I like you very much, if something happens, tell me about it"

"Everything's okay, you don't have to worry so much, oh! I have something for you" - Colin said, reaching into his backpack, then pulled out a heart-shaped necklace from it.

"What is this?" - Ashley asked

"It's for you, I could not come to your birthday party, so I give it to you now, well... better late than never" - he said, putting the necklace on Ashley's neck

"Wow, that's for me?" - Ashley asked

"Weeell... Yes"

"You're cute"

Then suddenly the school bell rang, all the kids started to return to their classes.

"Okay, I have to go, bye"

Colin before he got up, kissed Ashley on the right cheek, then got up and started walking towards the class. The girl was sitting for a moment, a bit flushed, after a short while, she got up and went to her class.

"Well, well, Colin had a girlfriend" - I said, laughing under my breath

"Looks like it, he also had a friend, but... He was already very closed in himself" - Luna said, smiling - "Let's go to the next memory"

Then suddenly all around us, it started to be dark, everything began to disappear in the darkness.

"What's happening?" - I asked, worried

"Relax, we're moving to the next memory"

"I wonder that what this time"

When the darkness dispersed, we saw a school building from which kids came out, with backpacks. There were litter bins and benches, along with the sidewalk leading to the building's front door. On one of the benches sat Colin, who had a bruised left eye. He held a book. Next to him, was sat a boy, with brown hair and left leg in a cast, it was his friend, Mike. Both were sitting and talking, checking the book.

"So... You say that Slavic mythology, you have already studied?" - Mike asked

"Yes. I stopped on Greek mythology, I have only been left to study... The Twelve Labors of Hercules, Gods of Olympus, and when it comes to mythological creatures, well... I read all except Minotaur, Cerberus, Nemean lion, Manticore and Centaur, oh! And all the Norse Mythology" - Colin said

Mike snorted - "Masochist..." - He said, laughing

"What?"

"Do you really want to read this?" - Mike asked

"Well... yes, I like mythology, is... interesting"

"Do you have any favorite creature?"

"Hi guys, what are you doing?"

"Oh! Hello, Ashley. We're just reviewing this book" - Colin said

"What are you watching?" - Ashley asked

"Mythology, I wanted to ask Colin, what is his favorite mythological creature - Mike said

"Griffon, I'm right?" - Ashley asked

"How do you know this?" - Mike asked

"I told Ashley about Griffons, they are..."

"Wonderful, majestic, amazing, I know that" - Ashley said, a bit bored

"That's not what I mean, but... Yeah, that's true" - Colin said

"And what is your favorite creature, Mike?" - Ashley asked

"I wasn't interested in these subjects, but if I am, to be honest, it's the Dragon, because it's flying, it's can breathe fire, it's very big and strong. And your Ashley?"

"Me? I was curious Medusa, who was a daughter..."

"Forkos?" - Colin asked

"Yes"

"Well, Ashley. I'll tell you that you're very similar to this... Medusa" - Mike said jokingly, laughing

Ashley said nothing, showed the middle finger to Mike, who was still laughing, only then turned her attention to Colin's black eye.

"What happened to you?" - Ashley asked

"It's nothing, I fell over" - Colin said

"Yeah, he fell over... On the Chris" - Mike said

"Wait... Do you mean that teenager from reformatory?" - Ashley asked

"Yes, it was him, apparently he was convicted, for shoplifting and mutilating the seller"

"Wow... Well, how did it actually happen?"

"Colin walked through the corridor, he suddenly began to retreat, said that a shadow was approaching him and he nudged Chris"

"Can we not talk about that?" - Colin asked, getting up from the bench

"Wow, calm down, man. Don't be so angry" - Mike said

"Uh... I... I'm sorry, I just don't like this subject" - Colin said

"I understand, I will not mention it"

"Thanks, Mike. I have to go now, bye" - Colin said, putting the book in his backpack and walking away

"Bye, bro" - Mike said

The next memories presented many situations that took place at school. Chris, an older, blond-haired boy, teased both Colin and Ashley. I was positively surprised by how Colin fiercely defended Ashley against school rascals, taking many hits, on the face, but he did not give up, he defended her until the very end. The worst was with the memories that took place at home, Colin and his mother, a woman with auburn hair and dark blue eyes, were persecuted by Colin's father, practically every day, these were terrible images, but... I would never have expected it, what was to come.

Colin was sitting in his room. On the outside started to get dark, he was sitting in the room, his head down and listening to what was going on downstairs.

"Colin..." - A strange voice said

"Who said that?" - Colin asked

"How long does it last? You don't have enough?" - Mysterious voice asked

"Yes, I'm sick of it, I want it all to end, I don't want to live like this" - Colin said, then tears came from his eyes - "Who are you actually?"

"I am your friend, I want to help you"

"How?"

"Come to me, you will be happier with me" - said the mysterious voice

"Where are you?" - Colin asked

"Heeere..."

Colin went to the window, someone stood outside, it was a dark silhouette, it was very indistinct. Me and Luna, we knew what it was, it was the demon, sensed his suffering and began to persecute him.

"I see you" - Demon said

"I see you too"

"Come to me... you will be happier with me, trust me..."

Suddenly the sounds coming from below fell silent, just like that. Colin left the window and slowly approached the door and then opened it. In the stairwell, it was very dark, no sound came from below.

"Mom, are you alright?" - Colin asked

Nothing, complete silence. Colin began to descend slowly, his footsteps echoing throughout the house. When the stairs were over, Colin went to the exit door.

"Colin, sweetie..." - Colin's mother said

"What happened, mom?" - Colin asked, turning away

When Colin turned away, his eyes opened in shock. When Luna saw it, she sat down and covered face with hooves. I was shocked and did not know what to say. On the ground, in a puddle of blood, lay Colin's father, with a cut-throat, Colin's mother standing above him, her skin was white like snow, black veins were visible through the skin. The woman was holding a very sharp knife that was smeared with blood, just like she was.

"M-mom, what have you done?" - Colin asked, terrified

"It's nothing, sweetie"

"B-but... You killed him" - Colin said, then tears flowed from his eyes

"I did it to protect you, I had to do It... It... made me do it"

"But... What? What made you do it?"

Colin's mother began to sob softly, knelt on the floor and grabbed her head. Colin wanted to come up to her, but she stopped him.

"Son... Listen to me very carefully now. Run away from here, do you understand? Runaway and do not turn around, I want to save you at least"

"But... what do you want to do?" - Colin asked

"I do what needs to be done, I love you, and now I am begging you, run away... I'm begging you, It will get you, I just want to protect you" - Colin's mother said, still crying

"B-but ..."

"Get out of here! Do you understand?! Get out! Now!" - She shouted

Colin immediately ran out the door, started to run, he was farther away from home, but at one point he stopped and turned away. Through the open door, you could see everything, his mother began to slowly get up. She picked up the knife, then slowly brings it closer to her throat.

"No!" - Colin shouted

At that moment, his mother... she slit throat, the disgusting sound, of cutting meat was in the air, and a red liquid spilled out from the neck of a woman who fell to the floor.

"M-mom..." - Colin said, with a trembling voice

Then Colin knelt on the ground and immediately began to cry hysterically, crossing his arms.

"Is alright, kid. I'm with you" - I approached Colin, I wanted to hug him, but instead, I penetrated through him, I forgot that I was in his head, and what I saw was only a projection.

"You cannot do it" - Luna said

"I know, okay?" - I said a bit angrily, also shedding tears, Luna stepped back a little, looking at one point

"Hiya Colin" - A strange voice started

I looked forward and saw a demon standing a few yards from Colin.

"I-it's you..." - Colin said

"Come to me, you will be happy with me"

Terrified, Colin immediately rose and began to retreat.

"What happened?" - Demon asked, showing his teeth and slowly approaching the boy

"I'm afraid of you, go away... please" - Colin said, stepping back

"I sense your fear..." - Demon said, grinning, his eyes shining with lighter red

Then Colin panicked and ran to the forest, which was nearby.

"Let it be so" - Demon said, started pursuing him

"We cannot lose sight of them, let's fly behind them" - Luna said, rising into the air

"Alright" - I said, also breaking away from the ground

We were flying through the forest. Colin was running as fast as he could, a demon running behind him, roaring furiously. In the end, the beast caught him up. That what I saw, shocked me. The monster was tugged, bite and scratched Colin. I looked away, I didn't want to see it, but unfortunately I heard Colin screaming and groaning in pain, I looked again, something happened what surprised me, Colin somehow managed to get out of the jaws of the beast. At that moment I saw him standing in front of the demon, holding a thick branch in both hands. The Demon wanted to attack him again, but he was hit. The beast fell to the ground, then Colin hit the beast's head with all his strength, then began to run again.

Colin started running again, at some point, he stumbled and started rolling from the small hill, then he ran into a small river, got up on his feet, tried to catch his breath, he just looked horrible, exactly the same way I remembered when I once I met him first. Suddenly the beast's roar broke through the forest, Colin started to escape again. He ran through the thick bushes and then ran to the edge of the cliff. At that moment, the boy stopped, he wanted to turn back, but he did not even turn back, the monster jumped from behind the bushes, hit him with sharp claws in his back. Colin began to fall down and then hit the ground very hard. I heard the sound of bursting bones, when I heard this I shuddered. Around us again began to get dark, however... we did not move to the next memory.

"Rainbow Dash..." - Luna said

"What happened? Why don't we go to the next memory?" - I asked

"You look depressed, I'm worried about you"

"You don't have to worry about anything, it's okay" - I said

"The thing is, you don't have to watch it, if you don't want to, I can make you come back to..."

"No" - I said, interrupting Luna

"Are you sure?" - Asked Luna

"This is my friend, I want to help him too. Nothing will discourage me, I can do it" - I said with a confident voice

"Alright, if that's what you want" - Luna said

The darkness disappeared, then Ponyville appeared to my eyes. I looked back and saw Colin, who is trying to get up, staggered a little, but eventually got up, took a few steps, and leaned against the tree. He was stood and leaning for a moment, then he started again, he moved toward Ponyville, stopped halfway, and looked up at the top where Canterlot was built, then walked on.

When Colin crossed the small bridge under which the river flowed, he entered Ponyville. Luna and I were standing next to him. Colin looked at the residents of Ponyville, he looked really surprised, after a while he moved forward again when suddenly someone screamed.

"AAAAAAAGH! MONSTER! MONSTER!"

At that moment, Colin turned back. Luna and I did the same. We saw little Apple Bloom, she looked scared, then the residents began to gather around Colin, he just stood confused.

"What the hell is that?!" - Stallion asked

"You don't see it? This is a monster!" - Shouted, some mare

"Get out of here!" - One of the residents said, throwing a stone at Colin

Colin started to run again, pushed his way through the crowd, and then there was total chaos in Ponyville. Residents chased him, ran away from him, shouted, threw stones at him and rotten fruits, Luna was terribly disgusted with it, I was disgusted too. Then I suddenly saw myself, when I run into Colin. First, I started to descend, then I turned back, looking at that, what was happening and then I hit him with hooves in the back of his head. Colin fell to the ground, tears fell from his eyes, when I saw it, also from my eyes a few tears streamed. I was angry and sad at the same time, after that what I had seen earlier, I felt even more sorry for this poor child, and I felt even more distaste for the residents of Ponyville.

"No! Leave me be! Stay away!" - Colin screamed, running away again, he was terrified, I saw all this, I felt his pain then

Colin ran away and at one point, he ran into Twilight, scattering all her books, then he got up immediately and started running again, I saw myself chasing him. Colin ran straight to Fluttershy's house when he saw her, he turned back to the meadow, still trying to escape, then he stumbled. He tried to get up but... he couldn't... he was completely exhausted. I saw myself and Fluttershy, running up to him, he was still desperately trying to get up, but it did not work, the moment I heard his sobs, tears streamed from my eyes again. He thought it was over, he thought he will die, that's why he just gave up, he didn't want to fight anymore, but when I saw Fluttershy, stroking him on the head, I smiled for a moment.

Then we started moving again to the next memory, this time it was something that surprised me slightly. Colin lay in the hospital bed, after a while he rose, on the outside was already dark. Then I heard footsteps behind the door, Colin immediately lay down and pretended to be asleep. Then the doctor came in and... Me. I remember this like it was today. I swapped a few words with the doctor and I said goodbye to Colin, then I thought he was unconscious. Considering what had happened to him, I knew the reason he pretended to be asleep. The residents attacked him, and he was just scared.

When I left the room, I thought it was the end when Colin got up, the whole room started to get dark. I thought I was moving with Luna to the next memory, but... something was wrong. The demon started to approach to Colin's bed. He began to moan and writhe in pain.

Thanks to these memories, I got to know Colin much better. I already knew why he was so introverted, he wanted to forget about what had happened in the past. but I still wondered where his memories, when he was much younger? It looked as if these memories were taken away. I saw a visit to the hospital and... Colin nightmares, I don't know, what was the worst, one happened in the hospital, I remember Colin shouting "AAAAAAAAAGH! LEAVE ME!" "DON'T KILL ME, PLEASE! I DON'T WANNA DIE!". It was really scary, I thought it could not be worse anymore, I was wrong again.

Me and Luna, we were in a memory, where Colin met a mare named, Lyra Heartstrings. I saw her in her previous memories, as she followed Colin, as it turned out later, Lyra was just fascinated by the genre of humans, honestly, that made me laugh a bit, how Colin stroked Lyra, or when Lyra was fascinated when Colin talked about humans.

"Well then. Let's think about that what we know" - Luna said

"Colin's mother. Her veins were black, were visible under the skin, which was completely white, what could have happened to her?" - I asked

"Colin's mother was probably controlled by the demon. First, he ordered her to kill herself, so she told Colin to leave, she knew it was unavoidable, so she probably did not want him to watch this. Then the demon began to torment Colin and at the end, Colin got here. This demon poisoned her, you've seen and heard. She said that she wants to protect him, and... That's what made her do it, she said: It, will get you, I just want to protect you..."

"That, what surprised me the most, was when she started shouting at him, she wanted to protect him, but... but... It's all sick, why him? Why exactly him?"

"I don't know, but... It's good that he's here" - Luna said

"I'm not sure if it's good, the residents..."

"Residents have been informed that Colin is not dangerous. Have not you noticed before that the residents were completely differently focused on him?" - Luna said, interrupting me

"Okay, but what about Blueblood?"

"Don't worry about it. Celestia told me that, he wanted to apologize Colin and that, he found another book about mythology"

"And what exactly was in this book?" - I asked, intrigued

"Well... in this book, there was also a description of a human, but... different, completely different"

"Different? So what is it?"

"You would have to read it yourself, but I can tell you that human is a creature like us, that is... he is neither a ruthless nor an aggressive monster, he is intellectually developed in the same way as Ponies or Griffons, but what is important, he has feelings" - Luna said, smiling and looking at Colin, sitting with Lyra

Luna's expression from smiling, he began to change into an increasingly worried, Colin held a book in his hands, looked a bit surprised and scared at the same time.

"Wait for a second, something is wrong here" - I said, going over to Colin - "Oh shit, he knew about that?" - I asked surprised

"What happened?" - Luna Asked, coming up to me

At that moment, Colin turned to the next page. That what he saw there, shocked both him and me. On the next page, there was a sketch showing a human, who was biting into the throat of a dead pony, which was already torn. Shocked Colin dropped the book and covered his mouth with his hand, alarmed Lyra, picked up the book.

"L-Lyra..."

"Huh? Where did this come from?!" - Lyra asked, shocked as Colin

"Lyra... What is this?! Did you draw it?" - Colin asked, terrified

"N-no, really. It wasn't here before, I don't know where it came from!" - Lyra said

"That's why the Ponyville residents wanted to kill me" - Colin said

"Kill? But... Hey... It's okay. Calm down" - Lyra asked in surprise

"I... Am I a monster?" - He asked, trembling voice

"No, you are not a monster. Please calm down and let's talk calmly, HEY! Wait, please!"

Colin started to escape, when he ran out of the park, he came across the residents of Ponyville.

"Uhm... You all right?" - One of the residents asked

Colin started to run again until he came across me.

"Colin, what happened? Someone is chasing you?" - Asked Rainbow from the memories

"Rainbow... I'm fine, let me pass, please" - Colin said nervously

"But... what happened? Tell me"

"Nothing has happened, it's okay, really"

"That is not. I can see it"

"Please, leave me alone!" - Colin said, getting up again

"Wait! Tell me what happened"

Colin didn't want to talk to me. I would understand him. Twilight told us about this damn book. Maybe he was just afraid. He was afraid I might hate him.

The next memory was another Colin nightmare, it was probably the most horrible thing I've ever seen. Colin was in Ponyville, he looked exactly the same as when I met him, he was in wounds and blood.

Colin on the market met Lyra, who was terrified when she saw him. She called him a monster and then it began. In the middle of the market, lay Fluttershy with her throat torn to pieces. Me, Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Applejack Rarity, was sitting around her. we were all bandaged, wept over Fluttershy corpse.

"W-what happened here?" - Colin asked, coming up to us

"Huh?... What?" - Rainbow from memories asked, raising her head up - "HE'S BACK!"

"Rainbow, what the hell is..."

Colin didn't finish his sentence. I was hit him straight in the chest. He lay on the ground trying to catch his breath, but .. he could not, but the breath came back quickly.

"What the hell?! Rainbow, why did you do that?" - Colin asked

"Are you still asking?! Don't you see what you did?!" - Asked Rainbow from the memories, she was furious

"Wait a minute, but... what happened?" - Colin asked, getting up

"What happened?! You killed Fluttershy! That's happened!" - Twilight screamed

"Wait, what? I-I would never kill anyone!"

"Oh, really? Are you so sure?" - Rainbow asked furiously

"Yes, I wouldn't hurt anyone, I'm not a monster!"

"It looks like, you are" - Twilight said

"What happened here?!" - Colin asked, close to crying

"You don't know? You walked with Fluttershy through the market. After a while you stopped, Fluttershy came over to you and then..." - Twilight didn't finish, because she started to cry

"What? What happened then?"

"Then you, with all your strength, hit her in the face, she was laying... and... "You lifted her up and then, you bit her and you have torn her throat" - Rainbow said

"What?!"

"That, what you heard. Then you went into a fury and started attacking everypony! We wanted to stop you, but you attacked us too" - Rainbow Dash said, revealing the bandage around the neck. I saw an imaginary bite trail - "You see that?! You wouldn't hurt anyone, huh?!"

"R-Rainbow... it wasn't me. I wouldn't do this to you, I swear!" - Colin said, then he cried

Then Rainbow Dash, from memories, hit Colin with all her strength.

"No! Leave him alone, idiots!" - I shouted, forgetting again that it was only a projection

Colin started to run away, but during the escape, he fell over, he tried to get up. Then Me from the memories hit him again in the face. Then Twilight and the rest surrounded Colin.

"And what are you going to do now?" - Rainbow asked

"Please, I would never do it... Mercy!" - Colin said, crying

"Ah, yes?" - Twilight asked, and Rainbow kicked him in the stomach - "You have no mercy for anyone, It's time to say goodbye"

At that moment, Colin was turned over on the stomach. We started to approach him, then I looked away, I could hear the sound of cut meat, but the worst was Colin's screams. First, he screamed, then he begged, and at the end... just moaned... After that what I heard, I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth, and later I cried like a little girl, I also heard Luna's soft crying. When I opened my eyes, I saw Colin in Fluttershy's kitchen, he stood there, holding the knife, which slowly brings closer to his hand.

"That's enough! I don't want to watch it! Please" - I said, crying

I don,t know what happened, I just sat and cried.

"Rainbow Dash, open your eyes. It's me" - I opened my eyes and saw Luna in front of me - "Are you okay?"

"No" - I said crying

"Don't cry, please. It's okay"

"It's okay?... You think it's okay, huh?! Nothing it's okay, do you understand?!"

"Rainbow..."

"It's not fair. He didn't deserve for such a fate. All the time he thought he was a monster. All the time he thought he could hurt us, he almost killed himself, do you understand?" - I said, turning back, head bowed

"Maybe it'll be better if I see the rest of his memories alone. Rainbow, I'm sorry you had to watch this" - Luna said, putting the hoof on my shoulder

"You don't have to apologize me. I could guess what I could see, I didn't think about that, I'm sorry..." - I said

"You'd better go to sleep. I think you need it" - Luna said

"Yeah... definitely, you're right"

I went to bed and somehow, I managed to sleep, but after a while, I woke up. I had a nightmare related to this sick memory which I saw.

"I'm sorry, kid, I... I didn't want it... I would never hurt you either" - I said, close to crying

Then I looked at the bed, where Colin slept. That what I saw, surprised me, but at the same time made me smiled a bit. Colin lay in Luna's arms, who hugged him gently and tenderly, simultaneously embrace him with wings. There was a smile on her face, she wanted to be close to him, she wanted to protect him as his mother wanted.

I turned my eyes away for a moment, which focused on my pillow. I punch it lightly so that it would take on a normal shape, and then put it down. When I looked again at Colin's bed, I saw something that made me completely surprised. On Colin's bed sat a ghost, it was his mother, who stroked her son's forehead. I tried to say anything, but I couldn't. I was completely freezing.

Then the ghost turned her head to me. She showed me the silence on her lips with the finger, smiled and came up to me.

"Thank you Rainbow Dash. Thank you for that you and your friends, are with him" - Ghost said

"Uhmm... You're welcome..." - I said, smiling

At that moment, the ghost took a few steps toward the door and disappeared, as if... melted in the air. For the last time, I looked at sleeping Luna and Colin. I laid my head on the pillow, closed my eyes and fell asleep.

End of Chapter 10...
