What a naive little girl I was back then. Life never mattered as much as I thought.

Sigh, why must I explain this you ask? Well, Author needs to share my story for some reason. Oh well, it's not like it will hurt me in any shape or form so why not?

My name is Yūrei but you all probably know that. I'm a dead spirit not in heaven, hell or any resting place of the sort. I have some strange powers but before I do tell, let's go back to my life.

I can't even remember my original name. The name 'yūrei' was given to me and it didn't sound too bad so I called myself that from that day forward.

I was nine year old, apparently very outgoing and loud but a stickler for rules. I had many friends but my CLOSEST ones were Kathy, Marilynn and Ella. We all loved playing and talking with each other.

It was Ella's birthday so we all walked out to the park. We were all nine, Ella now ten so we decided to walk to the park before our parents but that clearly was a mistake.

I had dropped my present I was going to give Ella. A pink heart charm with a smaller white heart in the middle and two magenta ribbons attached to it. Ella, Marilynn and Kathy ran across the street without me. I followed them but when I did, the light was already red. I didn't even realize until just then; that a car has just hit me. I didn't even scream or cry, I just took the hit because I was so unprepared. Before closing my eyes for what might have been eternity, I saw my friends who never noticed I was gone. I was now dead.

Then, I woke up in a pitch black room. I was confused, I was hit by a car for Pete's sake! I look at my clothing. Woah, why is my hair longer and white?! What's with the weird dress, boots and accessories?! On my dress was the pink birthday charm but the white heart had become black. I panicked, residing in the black room that I eventually accepted as home.

Nothing happened, no one was in sight. I laid on the ground. All I could do was think and ask myself questions. Why am I here? What should I do? Is this where I'll stay forever?

One day when I was feeling bored, a hole in the black room ripped open. Bright light poured from the hole. My escape! I ran to the hole, coming out to find another world??????

I saw myself, but she acted and looked much different than me. She was wearing a black hoodie and ripped jeans, bullying a kid with others laughing. I didn't want to see this! I would never do something like this!

Focusing again, I ripped open another hole. I go through that one, now seeing ME as a bullied kid. I was intrigued by my new powers, exploring the dimensions I never knew existed until now. I saw horrendous things but eventually, it became amazing to watch. Like a television show, I wanted there to be action, suspense, betrayals, uplifting moments, etc! I tampered with the worlds a bit and it made things so much fun!

Only until I found one dimension. It was a girl, most likely a teenager, drawing in a book. I leaned over and it was a drawing of me! The girl turned around and smiled.

"I know you're there." She said.

This was the first time someone actually acknowledged me. I'm a ghost so all the tampering I did was caused by an 'unknown person'.

"How'd you know I was here?"

"I know my OCs, Yūrei. You have the power to go through dimensions and see the fourth wall, aka me."

Yūrei. I like that, it has a nice ring to it.

"Oc? Original character? What do you mean?"

She opened her mouth to explain but I cut her off.

"Actually, wait until tomorrow. I'm too tired for this."

"Haha, I should've known you'd say something like that." The female chuckled.

I looked out the window, it was nighttime and the time was 8:30pm. I relaxed until I heard a yell.

"STOP GOING INTO YOUR FATHER'S ROOM, ITS FLITHY!"

"No, he cleaned it yesterday!" A child voice replied.

"GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM OR DO YOU WANT ME TO GET THE STICK?!"

I heard a scurried noise and a door slam. The girl locks her door.

"Shouldn't you go help your brother or something?" I normally don't say these types of things but since she can see me, it's a different story.

"I can't help in any way. It's sad but true, that demon won't stop." She said with a bitter tone.

"Suit yourself. But just letting you know that this ain't good for your health." I shrug.

"I haven't even introduced myself. My name is Jennifer, your creator."

My eyes widened. "My creator?! You don't look like any type of God."

Jennifer smiled. " I thought you wanted me to explain tomorrow. You're a character I created, an original character. I made your backstory, appearance, personality, everything that makes you you."

"Pfft, I hope you don't expect me to do everything you say cuz that ain't happening." I crossed my arms. I don't want anyone dampening my fun, even if it's 'my creator'.

"Nah, but I suggest you take my advice from now on. I won't force you but let's say I'll give you more FUN opportunities than what you have now."

I raised my brow. "Oh really, how so? I already have the power to go through dimensions so how can that be any more fun?"

"Right now, you only have the ability to mess with a dimension as long as it has a version of you. What I offer you is the power to travel to ANY universe even if it doesn't have a version of you as long as I say ok."

I laughed so hard, clutching my stomach. "You really think I want you to monitor everywhere I go?"

Jennifer looked me straight in the eye. "I can add or subtract anything from you as I see fit. However, I prefer this version and I don't intend on changing much. Maybe adding some things like NEW POWERS???"

"Like what?"

"I'll give you the power to hack into someone's brain, controlling them. You give them an instruction and they do it. The only exception is that if there's over a 45% chance they'll die from the command, it won't work. In exchange for both powers, I want a friendly relationship between us. Deal?" Jennifer raised her hand, waiting for me to shake it.

Well, at least it isn't something like serving her until she dies. "Fine, but I'll be traveling a lot so better buckle up." I shake her hand once and immediately let go. I could surprising touch things, must be a mini power she added.

"Bye, I'll be visiting sometime." I say, ripping open a hole in space time. "See you another day."

I sometimes watched her dimension, seeing her kind of messed up home-life, schools life and friend group. Looks like Ella, Marilynn and Kathy were based off this dimension's Ever, Disney and Mood. I've also a big fan of the anime world now since Jennifer (I now call Author) writes fanfics and draws fanart for. This is my existence now.
