My name is Neptune Oh and as you already know I'm another main character. I am a Banshee, wow! That wow was sarcastic just so you know. I was born on December 28th, 1997. I was always shy and quiet growing up. I didn't do well with talking to other people, especially other kids. 

  I was born in Beijing but when I was 13 we moved to New York City. I was now a weird and foreign kid. I hated it, for about 2 years I had horrible migraines. My parents never wanted to take me to the hospital either. Until one day I started to get dizzy while walking down the hallway.

  "Are you okay?", a teacher asked me. "Hai-I means yes", I said with a smile. "Okay, if you need help just go to the nurse's office", she said walking away. I got into the classroom and was sweating. It was difficult to focus and my head was throbbing. Something wet started to come out of my nose and it felt like I was crying.

  I touched my eyes with one hand and my nose with the other. They were both bleeding, that's all I remember before everything went black. Turns out I had an aneurysm in the middle of class. I bled from my eyes, ears, and nose. Instead of helping me, students took pictures and posted them on social media. 

  They called an ambulance but it was too late, I was already gone. When I woke up I was sitting on a large plot of dirt. I looked around and saw I was in a cemetery. I turned around and saw my headstone. I didn't even cry, I wasn't upset. "Yasuraka ni nemuru, Neptune Oh", it read. "December 28th, 1997 to August 31st, 2013". I saw a book on the ground and picked it up. I fixed my hanfu and sat down to read it. 

  "Easy guide to being dead on Earth". "Okay, at least I have instructions", I thought. I couldn't stay in a place for too long, I couldn't harm humans, and I couldn't use my powers for dumb reasons. Depending on your species would be what your powers are. I went into a clothing shop and looked in the mirror. "To go into the phantom form say out loud 'phantom form' to yourself". I whispered, "Phantom form".

  Nothing happened for a minute but in a flash I was balled up on the floor in a fetal squatting position, hugging my knees. My skin was pale and my skin was white and slimy. I looked terrifying. I screamed at my appearance but it came out as a wail. I was a Banshee. I stood up and closed the book, the grim reaper appeared in front of me.

  "You will need help getting through this gruesome purgatory. Pick a weapon to help you fight". There were two handguns, a sword, a bat, and a machete. I chose the two handguns. "Excellent choice, it fits you very well", he said. "Will I ever need to reload it"? "No, it has infinite bullets". "Cool", I said, clearing my throat.

  He left and I walked out of the store. I knew who I needed to find out about phantoms. There was a rumor that the famous gymnast Veronica Leash had faked her death, based on sightings of her every once in a while. But I believed that she was another phantom roaming earth, so I set out to find her. It took me 8 years.

  (Veronica's POV)

  "Run Maria", the girl with the Afro shouted grabbing her. They ran so fast they broke nearby mirrors. I went into an invisible phantom form and followed after them. They stopped at a small house on the outskirts of New York City. I stayed invisible and went in after them. "That was close, that girl doesn't have any life in her", the sugar skull girl said,

  "Well if it wasn't for you Maria, we would have never got in that situation", the girl with the Afro shouted. The skeleton's girl's name was Maria. "What does that mean Demise", Maria shouted. The afro girl's name was Demise, cool. I made myself seen and Demise froze. Maria noticed and turned around and froze too. Demise grabbed something out of the corner, a scythe! 

  She ran up to me and swung it at me. I back flipped out of the way and pulled out my bow and arrow. She waved her scythe and knocked it out of the way. Maria pulled out a guitar that spread rose petals around, making me pass out. When I woke up I was on their couch and they were standing over me. Demise had her scythe over her shoulder and Maria was holding her guitar. 

  "Who are you and what do you want?", they asked. They took off my sunglasses. Demise's face lit up and she was in disbelief. "Are you Veronica Leash", she shouted. "Yes, I am". "I thought you died, you haven't aged a bit". "I can solve both of those theories, I did die". "Are you a phantom"? "Nope, I'm a wraith". She cleared her throat and put back on her serious voice. "Well what do you want, why did you follow us"? "I needed to meet another phantom to escape purgatory, I'm not supposed to be here".

  "And you thought you could get the answers from us", Maria asked. "You guys are phantoms, don't you know how to escape"? "If we had the answers don't you think we would have already gotten out". "Dammit", I exclaimed. "Well you're gonna have to leave Veronica, there's nothing for you here", Demise said. "We could work together until we learn how to escape", I told her.

  She walked up to me and pushed her finger onto my forehead. "I don't need any more trouble, I can figure this out on my own". "It should only be me and Maria, got it", she shouted. She turned around and started to walk away, her scythe still on her shoulder. "Don't you think it would be better with one more person?" Maria asked her.

  She let out a deep sigh before turning back around. "Fine, I guess you can stay".
