Side story from the dad I worked on this before I started posting the chapters but because im so far behind and tomorrow I will be working on the chapters for bonds of love and darker side of light so expect chapters from them on wensday but here is the dad from the Darker Side of Light when he was younger


I yawned softly "Hey quiet down I want to sleep." I sighed and looked at him "You're dead you've slept for how long?" He stayed quiet as I continued to work on my homework. A bit of time has passed as he comes over looking down at my work. "You misspelled that word there." I looked at it and he was right. I removed it as he spelled the word for me. "Thanks..." He went back to my bed and looked up to the ceiling as he began to sink down. I turned on the screen looking at the white static snowstorm. I continued to work as the door opened with him walking in with a glass of water. "Thanks..." He vanished and I drank the water. "Do you really need to work on that this late?" I looked up at the air knowing he was somewhere in the room. "You know I working during the day so that I can keep living here, and work on that after work." It stayed silent. I decided to shut the lights off. "Good night my dead friend." "Good night my living friend."

I opened my eyes as the teacher walked closer looking at me. "Didn't do the assignment?" I shook my head handing it over to him. "See me after class." I saw him again sitting there as if he was alive. No one can see him only I can see him. A knock came from the door as a guy came in. "Hello sir I emailed you about my situation..." He spoke with the professor in private. He walked over and looked at me and then it seemed as if he looked straight into the dead's eyes. After a bit he walked foreword and sat behind me. I looked at the dead and showed him a note I jotted down quickly. He looked at the guy behind me and nodded vanishing from sight.

Class was dismissed early so I walked over to the professor "I was wondering if everything was fine with you. You are doing very well in my class, but I am a bit worried for you." I felt a presence still here. I turned my head and the new guy was still here. "I just work after class till night, and then I do an independent research project which takes up sleep." His eyes was surprised and opened his mouth "I'm sorry professor, but I have to go. I will see you next class." The guy shortly followed me after I left the class. "Do you know there is a dead with you? If you want I can get rid of it." I looked at him and laughed a bit. "I don't know what you are talking about." I raced to work worried I won't make it on time. I felt the presence still behind me. He was following me...

I got off work as the dead appeared next to me. "Who is that guy?" I looked back and he was still there. "I don't know, but be very careful I think he can see you." The dead vanished whispering "I'll see you home then."

I made it home as the presence was closer now. I turned and saw him right behind me. I looked at him and he looked at me. "I need to kill him..." I looked at him and placed my keys back in my pocket. "Who?" "The dead person here." We didn't move as the shine of the moon appeared. His hair began to change color from hazel to blonde to silver. He is a will-o-whisp taking the souls of those living in this world. I pushed him back and ran inside. The dead appeared in front of me "What's going on?!" "He's here to get rid of you." I ran down to the basement as the dead followed. I heard a large bang from the front door. He's in...

I ran to the machine and looked at the dead as the dead looked at me. "But you haven't tested it out yet." "i know just get ready to slip into the empty tube when it is close." I ran and hid behind the controls as the dead waited in the tube. The will-o-whisp came and charged foreword running into the tube. I flipped the switched shutting him in. The dead appeared in the other tube. I put on my goggles and smiles. "And thus the dead shall live once again!" The whisp began banging away at the glass wall. Fuck he might break it. They vanished.

The dead...no the living is with me now "Hey you know this flesh will rot away soon?" I looked at him seeing the skin slowly peeling off. "Well it's not perfect yet and you know we rushed it. It was more of a miracle when we did it remember?" "That's true well are we going to risk it once again, but I might die when this body dies." I looked at him "Well it's not like we know if you will or won't die so you have to wait ok?" I walked down to the basement and began to test it on animals. I just realized that if I put this out there I can be famous or called a criminal. Maybe I should make other things too! I looked at him "Do you remember your name yet?" "It's Alexander."

It's been two years and the machine is fully functional. I got an engineer degree and working in a lab creating things that seem supernatural to the world. "Steven let's do it all ready!" Alex was down in the tubes waiting for me to flip the switch. The machine now doesn't need a living being to restore the body. I flipped the switch and watched his body's skin coming back on his body, "Perfect Steven!" I ran down the stairs and walked over to him. He walked out and looked like my age. "You look 30 Alex!" He smiled and got closer placing his lips on me. "I know just like you." "A-Alex!" He placed his fingers on me and kissed me sliding his tongue into my mouth. I closed my eyes placing my hands on his sides as he pulled me closer. Mmm I never imagined doing this with Alex especially seeing I'm getting married. "Alex!" I pushed him back a bit "I'm getting married soon we shouldn't be doing this." He got closer to my ear "Oh come on Steven I'm basically a virgin in this body. Come and take it." I got nervous as he pulled me.

We arrived at the place I got him to live in while we got his skin fixed. He sat me down on the bed removing his clothes kissing my neck. Why aren't I stopping this? He bit down softly enough not to leave marks at least I hope. He removed my clothes as he played with my body. I felt at bliss with his lips on my body. I bit down on the pillow as he entered me "Just scream as much as you want." I didn't know why, but I did. I screamed with pleasure and pain.

A year has passed since I married Lilly she is about to have a child. I sighed and watch Alex coming over patting me on my back. "Hey your first baby. How are you feeling?" I smiled a bit "Stressed out more than a person knowing they are going to die." He laughed a bit. "I doubt it." A nurse came over and called me over. I followed her as Alex followed behind staying at the door. "Our baby Steven." Her tears rolled down her face smiling. She handed me over as he gripped my shirt. I rocked him slowly back and forth. "You are a wonderful child." She looked at me and smiled "What should his name be?" I opened my mouth as Alex cut me off "Why don't you call him Angel?" "Angel..." The baby smiled and giggled at the name. She smiled "It seems like he likes the name." "Then your name is Angel then." A nurse came in and asked what his name is "Angel Lorance Aqua." She smiled "After your father huh?" I smiled Lorance is my father's name. Some people seem surprised when they find out our last name is Aqua. I looked at Angel Lorance Aqua. "You will do so much good for this world."
