1. So Dead, So Lifeless

Chapter 1: So Dead… So Lifeless

London, England 1865

All I could think as I saw him laying there, so still… so lifeless, was Why did this have to happen to him? Why did it have to happen to me?! I was just about to tell him how I truly felt about him, not as a brother or as a friend, but something much more, and now it's too late to say anything. I walked up to him and grabbed his hand. It was so cold, so pale. His face, so dead and pallid. This wasn't the man that I had grown to love. I just wish that I could have him back.

Before I continue on I think I should introduce myself and the situation that I'm currently in. At the moment I'm currently living one of the worst days of my life, the funeral of my best friend and the man I love, Jack Skellington. He had just died of pneumonia and I was at his side when he passed. I was about to tell him how I felt when I felt the hand that was enclosed in mine go limp. Who am I though you may ask? My name's Antoinette Wallish, best friend of Jack and the daughter of wealthy ship owner Edward Wallish and his wife Elizabeth. I honestly thought that I would tell Jack how I felt and we could be together….forever. I guess that that's not the plan, that we weren't meant to be.

That was over a year ago and I can remember it like it was yesterday. I finally stopped that horrible memory from playing and returned home. My parents tried to convince me that I shouldn't have to wear black because I had no relationship with him but he was my best friend and so I was convinced that I would do this in his memory. After spending a good hour in my room just crying my eyes out I finally convinced my parents to let me talk a walk. I was going to the place where I could think best, the park in the middle of town. I could always go there when I was younger, either when I was having a bad day or just wanted to think about what had happened. Today was a little bit of both.

I started walking towards the park and was almost halfway there. I just had to cross the street and not get hit by any of the horses. I had a bad run in with horses before and I don't really recall most of it, I took a pretty bad hit to the head. I started to walk across when I heard a shout of "WATCH OUT!" I was then hit with an extreme force and hit my head on the concrete. I heard a quick *snap!* and then everything went black and numb.
