Chapter Four

We kept following Gerard. Suddenly he stopped. We were facing a large mountain. It went up so high that nobody could see the top.

"What are we doing?" I asked Abi.

"You'll see," she said.

We continued to watch Gerard. He glanced back at Frank again and took a step forward, into the mountain.

"What! How did he do that?"

"Did you forget? We're dead!"

"Oh," I said, embarrassed of my stupidity.

On the other side of the mountain was another universe. We were in a grassy field with tons of tents around us.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"This is our camp." Replied Abi, " This is where we sleep, and eat and everything."

"Do we still have to eat and sleep? I mean, we're dead."

"We don't have to. But if you don't, you get tired and hungry. You won't die, but you'll be pretty miserable."

"Oh, okay."

Abi started walking across the camp and I followed her. Frank was standing next to Gerard and as we passed by them Frank started staring at me again. I just ignored him and followed Abi.

We kept walking until Abi stopped in front of a tent at the very edge of the camp.

"This is my tent." She said.

"Do you know where I'm going to sleep?" I asked.

"Um, I don't know. You'll have to ask Gerard."

"Ok, I will."

I left her tent and walked over to Gerard. He was sitting on a chair drawing something in a sketchbook.

"Hey Gerard." I said.

"Hi,"

"Um, where am I going to sleep?"

"Um," he said looking around.

He looked over at Abi's tent. He stared at it for a second before another tent appeared right next to it.

"Over there," He said pointing at the tent that just appeared there.

"Um, ok" I said. I was still in shock.

"See ya," said Gerard.

"Yeah," I said.

I knew then that my life in the Black Parade was going to be very interesting. I was right.
