I do not own 13 Ghosts. I only own Lily.

This is going to be the sequel to Lily's life in the glass house. I hope you like it, and I would love reviews. Thank you

Story start

It had been a week since Ryan was staying at Lily's house with her family. Lily was never happier, but she still felt a small tinge of being an outcast. Kathy was treating her better, but lately she had been acting very strange towards Lily. Weird glances were being thrown towards Lily every time she was in the same room as Kathy. Bobby and Arthur were oblivious to all of this, but Ryan could tell that Kathy still had something against Lily. Lily sighed as she entered her house after a long day of classes. The house was very quiet until her teddy bear, also known as Ryan the Jackal, came flying towards her. Lily smiled and hugged Ryan in her strong yet small grip. "I missed you teddy bear," Lily said as she smiled up at him. Ryan laughed and said, "You've only been away from me for a couple of hours."

Lily pouted and let go of Ryan. "So it doesn't matter how long ago it was I can still miss you," Lily said as she started walking to her room. Ryan chuckled and followed after her. "Lily hang on," Ryan said as he wrapped his arms around Lily's waist from behind. Lily stopped walking and looked up at Ryan. "Is there something wrong?" Ryan asked softly. Lily pondered whether she should talk to Ryan or not about her worries of Kathy's treatment towards her, but before she could say anything Kathy came walking into the house. "Hello Lily I need to talk to you," Kathy said with a sweet smile that Lily could tell was fake. Lily had become an expert at telling when Kathy smiled in a fake manner, because she had seen that type of smile all of her life from Kathy.

Ryan didn't want to let go of Lily as he glared at Kathy, but Lily squirmed out of his grasp. "What is it Kathy?" Lily asked as she followed Kathy into the kitchen. Kathy had grabbed something from one of the kitchen drawers, but Lily didn't see what the object was. Lily never used the kitchen so she didn't have the drawers memorized. Kathy started laughing and said, "I said that I would try to accept you, but it has been very hard for me to do that. I wish I could be so loving and caring towards you, but when we were in that glass house you never helped me. You could have saved me, but you went off to talk to these killer ghosts instead of helping your family." At this point Kathy's laughter was insane. Lily could clearly see the hidden object and it was one of her Uncle's cooking knives.

Lily gulped and slowly backed away. "What are you doing Kathy? You know that those are dangerous," Lily said as she kept looking at Kathy's eyes and then back to the knife. "She's lost it," Ryan said as he glared at Kathy. Lily smiled and silently agreed. "What are you smiling about?" Kathy yelled in rage. Lily quit smiling and said, "The Jackal thinks you have lost what little mind you had." Ryan started laughing maniacally and he smiled cruelly at Kathy. Kathy could not see the Jackal, but she could definitely hear his evil laughter. "I don't think he likes you very much," Lily said with a yawn and lazy smile. Kathy dropped her knife and backed into the kitchen counter. "Freak why is that demon here?" Kathy yelled at Lily. Kathy was frantically searching around her, but she didn't have any glasses that could see ghosts and she didn't possess the power to see them.

Lily glared and grabbed the collar of Kathy's shirt. "Shut up Kathy. I don't care what you call me, but Ryan is not a demon. If you ever call him a demon, then I will show you how much of a freak I can truly be," Lily said darkly and she pushed Kathy away from her. Lily stepped away from Kathy and gave a smile to Ryan. Ryan was happy that Lily had defended him, but it was still surprising how kind this girl could be to him. The front door of the house opened and Uncle Arthur's voice could be heard. Kathy quickly grabbed the knife and cut herself with it. Kathy screamed in pain and yelled, "Help Uncle Arthur, Lily has gone crazy." Kathy quickly slid the knife over to beside Lily's feet.

Uncle Arthur ran into the kitchen and was in shock at the scene in front of him. His daughter was sitting on the kitchen floor and holding her now bleeding arm. Lily was looking at Kathy like she was stupid, and she wasn't even holding the knife. The knife was at Lily's feet though, and Arthur was confused. "Lily go to your room now," Uncle Arthur yelled and Lily tried to defend herself. After a few failures at trying to defend herself because of someone's annoying wailing, Lily stormed out of the kitchen and went to her bedroom. Ryan floated into the room and Lily slammed the door. "That stupid bitch," Lily thought as she threw her pillow at the wall.

Ryan felt horrible for Lily, and he seriously wanted to rip out Kathy's throat. "Teddy bear I know you want to kill her, but I don't want any one to try and make you leave," Lily said as she hugged Ryan after she saw his angry expression. Ryan sighed and hugged Lily back tightly. "Can I at least rip out her vocal chords?" Ryan asked cutely and Lily giggled. "Maybe later Teddy bear," Lily said with a dazzling smile. Ryan felt like the luckiest dead guy in the world right now. "Are you worried about who your Uncle will believe?" Ryan asked as he saw Lily's concentrated look. Lily nodded and walked to her bed and sat down. Ryan sat down in front of her and saw small tears at the ends of her eyes. "I don't want to go back to an asylum for no reason," Lily admitted with a small tear running down her cheek.

Pure anger filled Ryan's veins as that word escaped Lily's lips. Ryan would never let anyone send her back to an asylum, and anyone that tried would be killed in the process. Ryan wrapped his arms around Lily and whispered, "I'll kill anyone that tries." Lily gripped the sleeves of his shirt and looked up at him. Her eyes were sparkling from the unshed tears and she lightly pressed her lips to his. Ryan was surprised at first but he soon gently kissed back. This was the first time that Lily had ever shown her affections more than a hug. Lily shyly pulled away and smiled when she a warm smile from Ryan. "Are you feeling any better now?" Ryan whispered and his cold breath blew across Lily's lips. Lily nodded and rested her head on his chest.

Arthur was talking to his daughter about what had happened. "Dad she tried to kill me. Lily said that she hated me and that she never wanted to see my ugly face again. She said was going to slice me up and bury me. Dad she's a freak and she's unstable. She needs to be put back in an asylum where she belongs," Kathy said and her voice rose with every word that came from her mouth. Arthur sighed and held his head in his hands as his frustration grew. "Lily wouldn't do this. Even when Kathy was horrible to her Lily would never harm her, and now I'm suppose to believe that when Kathy is a little nice that Lily goes psycho. I can't believe this is true. I'm sorry Kathy, but Lily didn't do this," Arthur thought.

"Kathy I'm taking you to the hospital and we are telling them that you had an accident. Your cousin Lily didn't do this and don't you dare say she did. I'm sick of you trying to make her life miserable," Arthur said in a commanding tone. Kathy was about to protest but the look in her father's eyes told her to keep her mouth shut. Arthur stood up and walked to Lily's bedroom door. Arthur heard Lily talking to someone, but he knew that no one else was in the house. "A ghost," Arthur thought and shivered from bad memories that had quickly sprung back into his mind. He drew a shaky breath and said, "Lily I believe you didn't do this and I'm sorry for the way Kathy is acting. I'll be back later because I'm going to take Kathy to the hospital. Will you please fix Bobby some supper when he arrives home?"

Lily opened her bedroom door and hugged her Uncle. "Thank you and don't worry about Bobby's supper, because it shall be a feast for a king," Lily said laughing and her Uncle laughed too. Sadness was in Lily's eyes but only Ryan could see it, because he knew all too well what true sadness was. Uncle Arthur left and Lily turned to Ryan with a smile. "Do you want to help me cook for my adorable little cousin?" Lily asked cutely. Ryan gave her a weird look, and shook his head. "Why not?" Lily asked frustrated. "I can't cook," Ryan said simply as he floated past her into the hallway. "Well I'm going to teach your little ghost butt how," Lily said and she dragged Ryan into the kitchen.
