I'm back from the dead bitches. I own almost nothing. So a little back story on why I haven't updated for a year. so 2 years ago, I got into a car crash that severely injured me, and I've spent the last year recovering and getting caught up on projects I've gotten behind on. sounds so interesting doesn't it. I'm gonna try and keep this up to date now for you 2 people who will read this. Also, I have some other stories over on FictionPress under the name of Richebeutler if y'all are interested.

-Humphry POV-

"Ugh" I say as I turn over.

"Oh thank God you're awake!" Kate says as she hugs me way too tight. "How are you feeling?"

"Like shit. I hurt all over and feel like a freight train hit me, not to mention you're crushing me."

"Oh, I'm so sorry baby" Kate says as she lets go.

"What the hell happened? last thing I remember is banging you then going to bed. Then I woke up in the middle of the night and walked down to the creek... then it all goes black."

"Don't worry about that right now. It's best that you just rest and regain your strength."

"Damnit Kate. At lest give me a hint."

"You got attacked at the river, that's all I know." she says cowering away.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you baby. Come here."

Kate comes over and I lightly hug her and comfort her.

"I love you baby." I tell her.

She stops crying and suggests that I should get some sleep, so I lay down and fall asleep... and wake up a couple seconds later in the Underworld. I groan. I've been here plenty of times to know my way around. I start walking towards the gate. After a bit, Sarah comes walking up to me, looking kinda pissed. Once she gets close, she smacks the shit out of me.

"What the fuck was that for? You should know I'm injured."

"Not down here you aren't." she replies

"Well can you at least answer my question? What the fuck was the slap for?"

"The slap was for getting yourself almost killed. You're damn lucky I found you when I did." she replies. "I'm sorry for that. The souls have been haunting me for the week you've been out and have been pissing me off. I shouldn't have taken it out on you." she follows up with.

"Its ok. I understand." I reply. "So why am I down here?"

"Your dad wanted you to come down here for something. I don't know what though."

So we walk throught the gate and proceed to a big black building in the middle of everything called the Court of the Dead. Once we are inside, I see a big, jet black, and quite muscular wolf walk up to me. he pulls me into a tight embrace.

"Son... its been years since I last saw you. I've missed you so much." he says.

"Hi dad." I reply awkwardly

"Ah, I forgot that you probably don't recognize me. I'm your father. My name is Tom, but of course you can just call me Dad. I'm the ruler of the underworld."

"well its nice to finally meet my father." I reply. "So why did you call me down here?"

"Well, I wanted to tell you to report to your instructor, Troy, and tell him that you are the Gatekeeper and that Tom wants him to teach you how to become the reaper. He'll understand my boy. Now, go. you haven't got much time."

After that, the whole environment starts to fade to blackness and I wake up beside Kate.

Well, Someone tell me how good I am after being dead for a year.

I appreciate your reviews and hope to be able to keep writing.
