1. prologue

Victor Van Dort watched Emily as her spirit hovered around him. She was there but she wasn't there. You could walk through her though you could feel her dress and veil. She seemed to have only her upper body. No legs. Her dress was the same length though it seemed to float around like she was under water. Her veil and hair did the same.

She flew around him in a circle, stopped at his right side and stared deep into his eyes. She then flew passed him and her veil brushed the back of his head lightly. She flew up with her eyes closed and twirled around in the air. She then flew back down to him and he looked up to her since her eyes were just an inch above his.

Her hair, veil, and dress floated upward as they stared into each others eyes. She closed her eyes again and let out a long breath of peace as she flew over to the trees. She gracefully would disappear behind one then reappear in front of a tree a couple of feet away like she was transporting herself.

The full moon beamed on Emily. It seemed to make everything so beautiful and peaceful. Victor then just noticed the beautiful gothic music that he was hearing. He was imagining the music though it seemed so real.

Emily flew upward twirling around as she ascended ten feet above him. When she stopped twirling Victor saw that she had her eyes closed again and had her hands clasped together.

With her eyes still closed, she spread out her arms and tilted her head toward the big bright full moon.

Then she slowly transformed into over a hundred bluish-purple butterflies. The butterflies flew in a group towards him and he turned around in a circle as they fluttered around him. Victor watched as they gracefully flew in front on the moon and flew back down low to the ground almost touching the sparkly white snow that covered the forest.

They circled around him again then began to turn back into Emily's ghost-like figure. The slight wind picked up and beautifully blew through Emily's hair and veil as she turned her head towards him.

She looked at him with lonely eyes as she started to disappear.

"Emily?" Victor said though she did not reply.

"Emily!" Victor started screaming over and over but it was too late. Emily was gone.
