Chapter 1

"A Confession of a Fellow Shifter"

A/N hello Alanna here I just want to say that I'm changing He's Gone but Still Here. All new chapters, new plots and longer chapters ok here is the new and approved He's Gone but Still Here. Also I have a friend that is going to share my account. Her name is Michelle.

Disclaimer- I don't own any of Meg's characters like Paul, Suze, Jesse (who shows up in the story only a handful of times), Oliver Slaski, Jack and the Ackerman family. But I made up The Man, Hector Slater, Gabriella, Francesca, and other characters.

Hello one and all. You may not know me but I have a tale to tell that should go down in history. Well my story does go down in history but not the kind of history that you would know or believe of. It's a tale of love, action, drama and the supernatural.

You may think this is a work of fiction but it not. Many people, mainly the government, want you to believe this is a work of fiction and that's why this is my duty to tell you the truth and this story.

At this point I prefer to be anonymous for safety reasons. I'm not the only one who has tried to tell the truth but he went the wrong way and he was labeled a mental person and the shame pushed his son to change their name. This man is Oliver Slaski. All his life he looked for the answers of what he is.

Oliver starts my story off. The Slaski family has showed up in history many times over centuries. They were always millionaires and always lived the life of luxury. They were very spoiled but still the oldest son took over the family business not matter what. Oliver was going to take it over but the day before he was going to get the company he decided to search the world for answers of want he was.

The truth was in Egypt. He found in ancient Egypt they had sprit guilders or "Shifters" that made sure a sprit made it to the afterlife. They were like shamans for the Egyptians. These "Shifters" were paid a lot of money and well respected. When the Romans toke Egypt over the belief of "Shifters" was lost. The Romans didn't believe that the "Shifters" could see the sprits so the "Shifters" were taking of their power and were believed to be fake and ever since than the belief of sprits sort of faded into fiction and mythology.

When you think of ghost and sprits you think of sheet-like thing and only see them in stories, movies and Unsolved Mysteries but they're out there and they're everywhere. Oliver was one of these "Shifters" and he published books on his findings. His family was kicked out of society. His son was not taking seriously and changed his name to escape the shame. No matter how much Oliver wished his son didn't see the ghost and couldn't believe him. Soon after changing the family name his son, Rick, married and became a famous Seattle brain surgeon. His wife soon gave birth to a son, Paul.

Oliver had his wish come true in a way. Paul was a Shifter and Oliver taught Paul all he knew. He thought Paul wouldn't make some of the mistakes he made like believing that he was god and shifting too much. When Oliver wasn't there Paul used his powers for evil and made ghost his servants causing him to be in power by giving them a promise if they did do what he wanted they would pass on.

When Paul was 9 his parents had another son. The named him Jack. Jack turned out to be a mediator, which is like a Shifter but without the powers, and told everyone. His parents were afraid that he would turnout like Oliver so they put him in therapy. All their lives changed when the met a girl while they were having a family vacation.

This is not my story although I'm in the story it not mine. Who am I? Well let's just say this is a confession of a fellow Shifter.

A/N hey guys this chapter was longer than my other 1st chapter but still I can't reveal everything just now. All so if you read my first try at writing this I will show the prophecy in the next chapter also my next chapter will be longer. I'm also going to change my Susan Preston one.
