The Difference Between Life and Death

Dreaming With My Eyes Open

While Cameron was flipping through the diaries he couldn't help but wonder why he would want to hurt these girls. Maybe to make the family suffer but why only the eldest daughter what about the other children. Could it be that he doesn't want them to their family's money or the money they would receive when they became of age. Their lives would change forever when they came of age shortly after Cameron started to notice the pattern; they were all royal, all had large families, all were about to come of age, finally they all knew the same strange man.

He decided to go back and ask the families about this strange man that all three girls knew but they only mentioned a young man who was a friend of their tutor who would come in and help him teach the girls each day and would stay a little while after the tutor left then he would leave and come back the next day and do the same thing they described him as being very charming he had slick black hair and green eyes and was around 6'3 and was of an athletic build with good manners.

He was very kind and gentle towards people. They never thought of him as being suspicious when he stayed after with the girl he was helping for the time they had together that day before he went to the next house so Cameron got an idea to get the families together and talk to them at the same time and try to put this case together from the information they have and hope that they can tell them something about each girl and see if they have any sort of connection and if they knew anything about this stranger or who he is.

They had decided to meet at 6:00 that night and have a talk over tea and introduce the victim's families to one another and then talk about their daughters and how they lived their lives but Cameron could tell something wasn't right because they acted as though they were hiding something from them which made him uneasy it was like they knew who the killer was and they didn't want to say anything about this strange man that hurt their daughters and try to catch him unless they wanted them dead so they could keep the money but in the end Cameron solved the case and helped them move on.

Now Cameron is currently walking around waiting on his partner Matthew to finish his cake sometimes he wonders if he is just getting younger as the years go by but it has been a few months since the last case and it has been very relaxing but being sixteen and dead already sucks and he feels alone because all the people he knew before he died get to grow up and live their lives and then grow old and die but he wasn't that lucky he was murdered by someone who was supposed to love but ended leaving his mom alone.

He was staring off when Matthew informed him that they had a new case involving a boy about his age that has been going around with a very powerful man and they are causing a lot of trouble in the towns around London doing nothing but bad without a care or worry on their minds and if they don't stop the local police are going to interfere so they just called the main office to get someone down there fast to take care of the problem before anyone gets hurt and they have to take matters into their own hands which would make matters worse Cameron read the file that had all this information  but they have no clue who they are or what they are doing in London or what they wanted all they know is that they have to take care of these 2 pest and get on with their day.

Once they arrived it didn't take long to get them and take them back to the office but by then it was late and he wanted nothing more than to go home and go to sleep but he had nowhere to go so he went home with Matthew and slept in the extra bedroom and started staying with him. The whole undead thing was staring to get to him he had no one in his new world and found it hard to trust people anyway and he doesn't want to trust someone and then get hurt for it in the end so he shuts everyone out and stays to himself.

His “gift” that he was born with and is still learning how to control is getting better in time not knowing what to do about it and being young makes it harder on him he doesn't want to live alone anymore he hates his new found life and the thought of living forever because that means he has to watch the people he cares about die off one by one and he wishes that he could just leave but he knows in his heart that he can't he needs to help those in need.

Once they cross over into the underworld they need guidance to where they need to go to be in peace but some of the cases are more difficult than others are because they are harder than normal ones are. As the days go by he thinks about his childhood it was so fun but he never really knew what to do and that's when he started dreaming with his eyes open.
