Many years passed since my death was captured in Halloween town. I still look exactly like Emily. My arm is now showing the bone and so is my leg. A piece of my dress is missing from my rib area and I am missing an eye. My lips are a dark, dead gray and my hair is a dead blue and gray. Although, many of the people say I look horrible, (which is a complement) I still miss being alive. I missed feeling the rain on my shoulders. I missed the breath I took every day the sun rose. I missed the warmth I had in the sun, the cold I felt in the snow, or the feeling of having a hug from someone you love. All this was running through my head while at Raven's wedding party. We were at the club we built after Halloween and Raven was dancing with Jordon. She had a long and flowing, gray wedding dress that wrapped tightly around her. I smiled and looked around. I saw Jack and Sally holding hands, getting ready to dance. Soon, Raven and Jordon's dance was over and Jack walked out with Sally's hand. A romantic song played from the radio and the band played a little tune to set the mood. I smiled again and kept thinking of what it was like to live again. I wish I could have sighed with sorrow, but I couldn't breath, which made my depression worse. Jack and Sally danced gracefully and kissed. My smile faded and I looked down. A tear swelled in my eye and fell. I wiped my eye with my veil and saw my skeleton hand. The veil slipped away from my hand and my eye stared down at it. I wanted to live so badly again. I didn't except the fact that I was murdered, and I wanted a second chance. The song ended and Luna came out with little 10-year-old Victor and they danced. Soon every one came to the dance floor, except me. Jack and Sally came over to me with smiles. "Brittney, why are you here when you should be dancing?" Jack said joyfully.
"I think the grim reaper has something for you." giggled Sally. I looked over at the Grim Reaper and saw him over at the stage. He was looking at me and waved. I didn't know if he was smiling, because his face was covered by a shadow. "I think he already gave me something, death." I laughed. Jack and Sally laughed. "Look, I'm going to be heading out." I said with a smile in denial. "But why? The party has only started." Jack said confusingly.
"I just… need to take a walk." I walked away with my head hung low. My dress dragged behind me and my veil hung down as though it were depressed as well. Jack held his finger to his mouth, as if he were trying to figure out what my problem was.
I made my way to the grave yard and sat next to a tombstone. My legs were folded behind me and I slumped over the stone and began to cry. I missed being alive so much, and I would do anything for life. I felt so dead inside. I was slowly rotting away and I didn't even to get a chance at life. There were so many things I wanted, but I could never have them. Then, I heard a faint little bark from the distance. A small ghost dog floated up to me and smiled. "Hey Zero, are you being a good dog?" I said wiping my tears. Zero barked and spun around, but his smile soon faded. He whimpered and floated above my lap, nuzzling my chin. "It's nothing boy, just a little sad, that's all." He looked down for a second and thought of a plan. He then sprung up and started circling me frantically and barking. I giggled because he was playing with my veil. "Hehe, okay, down boy." I giggled. A smile showed and I pet the little ghost dog's head. I may have smiled, but I was still thinking of why I was sad. My smile went away after Zero left. The moon looked big and the spiral hill gave me memories. I got up from the tombstone and walked up the hill. The wind blew past me, yet I couldn't feel it. I looked down and saw the scratch marks of the pitch-fork that stabbed me. So many memories ran through my head. My head still hung low, then lifted to see the orange and yellow moon shine down on my pale-blue skin. Anger lurked deep in me as I thought of my murder. I narrowed my eyes as more of the same memory came back. I closed my eyes and grabbed my veil off my head and threw it on the ground. My skeleton foot stepped close to the edge and the spiral hill started to un-roll itself into a steep bridge to the ground. My dress trailed behind me and I stepped off, walking towards the woods. I planned on walking far away from my dream home, which had become a nightmare. For about two hours I walked in the woods. I knew that if I went in the same direction I was going, I would end up at the seven holiday's trees. I wanted to go to the forbidden lake that lied miles away from Halloween town. Legend has it that one wish is made for one person, and that a witch lived there. But if you made a wish, it would come with a terrible price to pay. I didn't believe the story. A few more hours passed, then I saw what looked like a giant, sparkling mirror. It was the lake.
