Prologue

I stared at the marble gravestone in front of me. The crack of thunder invaded the darkening, cloudy nightfall sky.

"How ironic…the weather describing how I feel…" I thought to myself as the church behind me chimed it's soothing, serene tone. Another tear escaped from my already swollen bloodshot dead eyes. I wipe it away immediately with one of my icy, white hand. The chilled night air stung me to the bone. Shivering, I wrap my arms around me as the frozen rain started to seep from the charcoal gray clouds. As if that would help…it's not like I can feel the rain anymore…I guess it's just the memory of the rain that still gets to me. I gave a final glace at that one gravestone. I knelt before it and traced the engraved lettering with my translucent finger, going right thought the stone. I groaned. I was still processing the thought that this was MY gravestone now…. A hand patted me on the shoulder, startling me. I let out a quiet gasp and whirled around, staring at the face of the owner that only gave a smile in return.

"Come now, boy….You mustn't have self-pity. Your family needs you right now…. You remember the rendezvous tonight, right?" said a gruff, baritone voice. The man raised an eyebrow. I nodded.

"Of course I do, Arthur. How could I forget." I said fiercely. He smiled and ruffled my hair lightly.

"Calm down, boy. I knew you wouldn't forget. I'm just making sure, ya know." he chuckled quietly. I slight smirk grew on my face.

"Where's Rose?" I asked quietly returning my gaze back towards my gravestone. Arthur's smile melted a little bit as his face grew more serious.

"Don't worry…she's watching over the kid. You know your mother, won't take her eyes off it." he said in his gruff voice.

"Good…" I whispered softly. I stole one final glance at the gravestone and started to head towards town.

"Wait…they need to come to you first! You can't just go by yourself." Arthur shouted behind me. I gave him a vicious glare.

"I'm already dead! How could anything bad happen to me now? Besides…I can't wait." I grumbled as I continued to walk to my destination. The Arthur vaporized from where he was and appeared in front of me.

"You have all the time in the world! Believe me you can wait. Wasn't you who always said, 'Patience is a virtue'?" He badgered. I grimaced.

"That was before I realized how short life is. I was an idiot. Now move!" I hissed as I walked right through him. He growled in frustration.

"What have I told you about walking through me, boy!", he bellowed in anger. He appeared in front of me once again. He jabbed my chest with his finger, "Look I know you have no patience right now but you need to get some! And since I'M your fricken' mentor, unfortunately, you need to get it FAST! Understand, boy?"

"FINE!" ,I yelled in his face, crossing my arms, "They better not take to long, though!"
Arthur's furrowed eyebrows disappeared as he started laughing for some weird reason.

"You haven't changed much now have you, boy?" he shook his head while he continued laughing. I rolled my eyes him and began my wait for the people who said would solve all my problems. Not to long later I started to hear footsteps echoing up the hill. I turned to see a rain soaked Wizard and Witch walking towards us.

"Hello…Thanks for waiting…" Wizard spoke in his usual undertone voice. A drenched Witch stomped her foot.

"Hope we didn't take long. Someone HAD to make it rain…" Witch hissed under her breath. Wizard sighed.

"We need the rain if …we want the spell to work...I told you…"He mumbled a bit annoyed. The Witch rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah whatever…let's get this over with." she complained.

"I swear… if I could I would slap her, she's so annoying… ",I thought violently. Wizard rubbed his temples as if fighting off a headache and turned towards Arthur.

"Are you sure…you don't want this…you could have a chance…as well?" Wizard asked. Arthur nodded.

"Yes…he needs this more than me…" he replied. He gave me a quick smile and nodded appraisingly. Wizard then turned towards my direction.

"Are you…ready?" he questioned. I smiled broadly.

"Since the day I died!" I joked. Ok I admit that was a lame joke but it seemed to make Wizard smile. Witch started tapping her foot impatiently.

"Helloooo! Any day now! I'm getting dripping wet here!…stupid rain." she whined. I started to scowl but then I reminded myself that I wanted to get this over with as soon as possible as well. Wizard then reached into his pocket and pulled out a necklace with a blue stone gem ornament that I have never seen before. It had an border engraving around it written in a strange, ancient language. The gem looked like it was a mix of rare metal and sapphire, but something about it had a mysterious aura about it as it seemed to glow lightly. Curiosity about the mysterious gem burned within me and ached to learn more about it.

"You must wear this…or you become a spirit…once more…Remember….NEVER take it off nor…let anyone touch it…Understand?" he warned as he placed the necklace around my neck. Somehow the stone seemed to rest on me as if I was a solid life figure and not a lucent spirit. I stared at it with even more interest in my eyes and then looked up and nodded showing that I understood. Then, Wizard backed up and stood by Witch's side.

"Ok….let's begin…" Wizard muttered. Witch smiled and then they both started chanting some kind of intelligible language. The lightening streaked the sky and slowly started to focus on the area where we stood. The Witch and Wizard raised both of their arms up and the lighting flashed into their hands, forming some sort of energy orb full of electric currents. They slowly relaxed their hands back down, still with the energy orb intact as it floated eerily above their hands. Thunder boomed loudly as they threw the orb right at me. I almost flinched but then I saw the ornament around my neck glowing fiercely, drawing in the orb's currents. As it inhaled the electricity and then it seemed to go right through the stone and started spreading through my body. The pain was horrifying. I tried to hold in my screaming until the it went away. I felt like fire was rushing through my veins and electricity was replacing my blood. A few seconds passed and Witch and Wizard stopped their chanting. The pain went away as I collapsed on the wet grass, feeling the rain going through my hair and soaking my clothes. I shivered and started to get up but my hands slipped on the water and I fell back on the ground. The Witch giggled.

"You need to get use to that, Frankenstein. It's been a while since you've been a human being…" she teased. I finally achieved to stand up and examined my body. MY body. I extended my hands and twiddled my fingers. I placed two fingers over my pulse to make sure this was real. Feeling the beat and rhythm of my zombie heart once again pumping I started grin, ear to ear. Wizard chuckled lightly while studying my reaction to my resurrection. I looked up from own hands towards him as he placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Welcome back….Gill…"
