A/N: In 1818, on January 1st, Mary Shelley wrote a novel that would define Gothic horror forever. In 1931, on November 21st , Universal made a film adaptation of that same novel, and has gone on to become a cult classic. Now, that horrifying vision comes back to the modern era, and is being introduced into the monster world for the very first time to send chills down the spines of thousands of people. This is 'American Horror Story: Frankenstein'. And judging by the cover, you know who will be resurrected Frankenstein style in this story. So, enjoy!

American Horror Story: Frankenstein
(You can stop playing the music now)
It was in the middle of the night, 2:12 in the morning to be exact. Mike was pacing with a angry look on his face around the fireplace as the flames burnt inside the furnace itself. The other Oozma Kappa brothers were watching their frat brother's anger fueled pacing around the fireplace.
"Where is he? It's past his curfew" Mike muttered, pretty loud actually. In fact, some of the brothers of the frat heard him.
"Take it easy, coach, it's not like your his mother" Terri Perry said. Mike looked to the first head of the two headed twins.
"If I were his mother, he'd be so grounded right now" Mike said as he stopped pacing and sat down on the mantel, letting the flames warm up his back.
"It's a party, college students go to them all the time. Cut the boy some slack. It's all part of growing up" Squishy's mother said as she placed down a plate of chocolate chip cookies on the coffee table. Mike took a cookie and bit into it.
"I wouldn't say that, Ms. Squibbles. I grew up without going to any high school parties and look at me now, a responsible young adult in one of the most respected colleges in the entire monster universe" Mike said with his mouth full. When the cyclops swallowed his cookie bit, Don spoke up.
"Gee, Mike, why are you so concerned that Sulley hasn't come back from his party yet?" the older monster asked. Mike's look of anger turned into one of sorrow.
"Because I... I said something to him that I regretted only seconds after he left out that door" Mike said as he looked down at his feet and his vision began to get blurry with hot fresh tears. Those hateful words he said to his newly gained friend whom was once his ex-rival echoed in his ears.
(Flashback Audio)
Sulley: Mike, it's just a party.
Mike: It's on ROR territory, Sulley. You were one of the victims of that prank they did to us at the last party. We were felt like Carrie White without the telekinesis and setting the whole place on fire, it was awful.
Sulley: I'm going because I wanna make peace between both our frats. This bullying has gone too far.
Mike: And how come you don't know this is some sort of trap they set up just to humiliate one of us again?
Sulley: Oh my God. Mike, sometimes I wish you weren't so strict.
Mike: Well, you know what I wish? I wish you were out of my sight forever! Gone, not even here with me in this very room!
Sulley: (Sounding hurt and sad) Mike... (Sniffle) Y-you don't mean that.
Mike: Yes I do! No go to that stupid party! See if I care!
(Flashback Audio Over)
Art approached his friend and placed a hand on his shoulder and spoke softly.
"Fighting is a normal thing for friends when they don't reach an agreement. Trust me, we all make stupid mistakes. You just realized yours and when Sulley comes back, you can tell him that for yourself" Art said. Mike wiped away his tears to realize Art was right.
"Thanks, I'll be sure to tell him that" Mike said. Soon, everyone saw red and blue lights blinking outside the house though the windows.
"I know those lights anywhere. Those are police lights!" Art shouted and hid behind the couch. Mike just groaned and got up from the mantel. The doorbell rang and Mike walked over to answer it. He opened the door to see a police officer monster who looked a lot like a black squid with pink stripes on his body and three eyes under his police hat.
"Is this the Oozma Kappa fraternity house?" asked the officer. Mike spoke up nervously.
"Yes. Is there a problem officer?" asked Mike.
"Indeed there is, do you have a monster in your group by the name of James P. Sullivan?" asked the officer. All the frat brothers' eyes went wide and walked up to the door slowly, their hearts were racing.
"Yeah, he went out to a party at another fraternity's house earlier, he hasn't come back yet. Why?" asked Mike.
"Well, we saw him walking on the sidewalk crying and he had his hands on his stomach. We saw he had a dozen busies on his stomach and he was badly injured and we had called an ambulance take him to the hospital" the officer explained. They were all devastated to hear this, especially Mike, who was now letting tears out of his one eye.
"Do you know how this happened?" asked Terry.
"We believe he was mugged not too long ago" answered the officer. He noticed Mike crying and then he placed a tentacle on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry that this happened. We only wish we could have been earlier to see it and save him" said the officer with sympathy.
"Where is he now?" asked Ms. Squibbles who was so concerned right now she was shivering and her eyes were twitching.
"He's at the hospital right now. He's requested to see you all" said the police monster.
"We gotta get there right now" Mike said shaking.
About fifteen minutes later because of traffic, they were finally at the hospital. The brothers went over to the administration desk.
"We're here to see..." Mike began, but was cut off by a passing nurse.
"James P. Sullivan?" asked the nurse. They all looked to her and nodded.
"Follow me, boys" said the nurse. They began walking over towards Sulley's room.
"How's he holding up?" asked Squishy.
"Those wounds caused some very bad internal damage to the inside of his body, not to mention he's in very poor condition. We ran a few tests before you arrived and the doctors said he's not gonna make it" the nurse said quietly. Mike was the most devastated to hear this news. Once they arrived at room A-04, the nurse opened up the door. Sulley lied in the hospital bed with his eyes closed, he was hooked up to a heart rate monitor and he was breathing slowly.
"Sulley" shouted Mike as he ran over to his friend and held his hand. The others wanted to go inside, but Art stopped them.
"It's better for Mike to see him first. He got into that fight with him, now it's up to him to make amends" Art said. Everyone backed up a bit after hearing Art's words. Sulley woke up and looked at his friend.
"M-mike" he weakly muttered.
"Sulley, how are you feeling?" asked the cyclops as he held his paw.
"Like crap" said Sulley.
"Sulley, listen, I need you to tell me who did this to you" Mike urged his friend. Sulley then began gazing up at the ceiling.
"I should have listened to you, Mike. I shouldn't have gone to that party" Sulley said quietly. Mike grew furious.
"Are you saying Johnny did this?" asked Mike. Sulley just nodded
"Sulley, I want you to know I'm going to file this report to the police. Johnny is not going to get away with something as cruel as despicable as this" swore Mike. Sulley's face then grew to become a sad face.
"It shouldn't matter to you. You said you wanted me out of your life, right? I overheard the doctors saying I'm gonna die. You got your wish, I'm out of everyone's hair forever" said Sulley as he closed his eyes and then stopped breathing.
"Sulley, I didn't mean any of that. I was a fool, I didn't mean any of it" Mike said. He then felt Sulley's paw fall out of his hand and the heart rate monitor began making a very long beep sound.
"Sulley! Sulley! No!" Mike began screaming and shaking his friend. The OK brothers who were watching the whole thing lowered their heads in sorrow and then shut the doors. Mike then began crying on his dead friend's chest. He regretted ever getting into that fight with him, now he's not even able to apologize after what he said to him.
Outside the hospital window, there was one monster who was wearing a dark black robe with the hood over their head and a raven on her shoulder were standing looking through another window and they saw everything that took place in Sulley's hospital room and saw Mike crying on the corpse.
"This crime that these monsters have committed should not go unpunished" said male teenaged sounding voice of the crow on the one monster's shoulder.
"Indeed it was. It should be time we gave life back to him since it was stolen" said the hooded monster, it was female. She took her hood off to reveal an orange furred anthropomorphic leopard with dark blue eyes.
"Are you sure? Is this what the order would want?" asked the crow.
"Like a great author once said... 'When life robs you, you sometimes have to rob it back' that is what I intend to do" said the female monster. She placed her hood back on her head and left the hospital room and shut the lights off, then she shut the door without muttering a single word.
A/N: And so that concludes chapter 1 of 'American Horror Story: Frankenstein'. I'm sorry if this was a very sad and morbid chapter. But as you can tell from the title, happiness is sure to come in the next (Possibly) or third chapter of this story. What inspired this? The trailer for 'I, Frankenstein' that I saw when going to see 'Ender's Game'. Like I said, more to come in the next chapter. Please review, thanks!
