The S.R.G: Phantom Girl

Cake and Laughter

Time seemed to fly by, and every time I blink, the darkness of night disappears, and there's only sunlight. I'm guessing it had been about a year since I first arrived here, and I still don't know anything from about when I was able to feel. If I was ever able to feel. The tiny baby I had been assigned to hadn't aged a single day, and I was left in pure concerned wonder. The paintings of the halls seemed to take on new forms of wonder. I still had never been outside, and nor had Celectia. It was a like we were forbidden from seeing a whole world of beautiful wonder. I sometimes would get the feeling of joy when she looked at me, and I would make funny faces at her.

Now was one of those times, where she was staring at me and I was making faces at her while she laughed, only edging me on. I smiled back and giggled with her, and the maid watched her with a small smile as she cleaned up the toys that were strewn around the room.

"What are you laughing at, little one?" The voice was of a very familiar familial figure, that I had come to enjoy the presence of. Celectia practically jumped up and down, smiling in excitement as I lost her attention. I enjoyed watching her and her mother play. However, when I tried to join one time, by rolling her a ball that had been by itself in the corner, I scared mother- her mother. I felt the confusion of Celectia, and she began to whine as she looked at me and rolled me the ball. Her mother watched in slight fear, and I rolled it back making her stare at me and Celectia. She cast some sort of spell, and she looked directly at me, I swear, and she cried out in fear.

That was the first and last time I tried to have fun with them as they played. However, by ourselves, I played with her by rolling her favorite ball to her. It looked like the moon. I smiled happily as she looked at me, making faces as I did back, smiling at her. Her mother glanced back at me, and I thought for a moment she could see me, but... She looked more like she saw straight through me.

Something felt wrong, as wrong as wrong could feel. I froze and stared at her, making my face twist into a look of caution. I stuck closer to Celectia and her Mother, and looked around as I settled on her Mothers back, making her wings open in concern. I looked into the same hallway we always passed, but it was darker. Darker than usual. Her Mother stopped and looked down the hall. I opened my mouth, and made a sound of wanting to keep going, but when Celectia made the sound of fear, her Mother kept going down the hall, cautiously. I felt a sense of purpose fill me as I floated up and in front of them, glaring around.

Up from the ground appeared a red eyed goo monster, making Celectia start crying loudly as her Mother looked on with her eyebrows furrowed. I felt the need to fight, and I got into a battle position. I felt a burst of energy, and I felt my hand grip something that had materialized from seemingly thin air, and I looked fearful as I stood with this strange weapon in my hand. It charged at me, and the only thing I could do was clumsily swipe at it with the sword, and luckily, I sliced it in half. There was a flash of light, and a moment where the world seemed more colorful for me.

I, for a brief moment, was absolutely positive her Mother had seen me, and I was sure she understood that I wasn't here to harm her or her baby. Maybe she would ignore me. Maybe she would keep Celectia closer- something I hoped for. Maybe the same room. Maybe even the same hall. Maybe right next door, because I remembered something from my world. There was a monsters under the bed faze, and I was not willing to deal with that by myself.

I looked around, and found that there was a newfound scent of flowers. I smiled a little and the weapon that had appeared suddenly was gone. I found myself being dragged quickly, down the hall way to exit the corridor and heading towards the feeding room. I gained a feeling of joy suddenly, and felt the emptiness I had felt many times before. I found the door opening, and in we walked, but it was dark inside. I felt suddenly frightened, and so did Celectia, but the light flicked on and there was a lot of noise. My ears were ringing, and I did as Celectia had, and covered my eyes. I curled up in mid air as I floated. I regained my hearing to hear Celectia giggling a little at me. I looked at her and then at what she was giggling at. She was smiling at a big, gigantic, gargantuan cake. I felt my heart stop. If I remembered anything from my life, it was that I loved cake.

Disappointing, because I would rather remember what I was and who my parents were. But no time to dwell on the dark huh? I smiled as I saw the symbols on the cake, unable to read the writing. I looked confused as I sat watched it, but... There was a moment of contemplation. It was obviously writing. I guess I'll learn at the same rate as Celectia does. I smiled excitedly as Celectia was given a piece of the sweet frosting covered piece of heaven, and she took a hoof full. She stopped and froze, looking at me, and she slid it over to me, and cooed softly in question. I covered my mouth, and looked at her. She smiled at me and whined until she got a second piece. I hesitated to reach for the one she had offered me, but I took it anyways, making her Mother's eyes narrow as I picked it up and took a bite, feeling it disappear into my void of a body. I could taste it. it was so good! There was buttermilk frosting on it and everything! I almost teared up. it had been so long since I ate anything for myself. Her Mother watched in shock as the cake disappeared before her eyes, and I smiled at her, licking my hand until the frosting was gone.

From this moment on, she knew I was here. And I was OK with that, as long as she doesn't hate me.

This is both adorable and confusing at the same time

Well, it's supposed to be kind of confusing. It's about a girl who has to forget her memories, and has generally no idea what's happening.

Yeah but I meant that the random monsters was confusing. I mean we see it, it's clearly a threat, but it's only there for one paragraph before we move on to celestia's birthday

It's meant to only be a passing thing. it's like that on purpose, because everything seems to move so quickly in the spirit realm. I'm trying to stay as "in character" for her as possible, because her life right now is like a dream. As Celectia gets older, so will the attention to detail. This is what I'm excited for, but for now, if Celectia is to young to really notice the details of something, the less descriptive something can be. It's an interesting style of writing, but it does get hard. I apologize if you don't like it, I plan on having Celestia grow quickly so that she can have more intense battles.
