AN: I am so sorry about only posting one chapter I don't remember how to do everything yet it's been a while since I've written a fanfic so please bear with me.

Redemption

GaryPOV

I was floating, floating into the blinding white light that was my new forever. I had redeemed myself, I hoped. I had helped Gillian find her soulmate, and that girl…Pat…Paula? Whatever her name was, I told Gillian where to find her, and now her family had closure. Everyone else had their forever, now it was time for mine.

Suddenly in the midst of all the wonderful warm light I dropped down, down into the black depth below me that was now my forever. Apparently I hadn't been redeemed.

Out of nowhere I was jerked back into the cemetery where I was buried, looking at my grave.

What the…?

I was completely clueless as to what was happening, Is death always this confusing?

"Ha-ha, no; but in your case we're willing to make an exception."

I looked up to see a shimmering figure sitting on the top of my tombstone.

"Are you an angel?" I asked, "Because I want a refund! I've done everything that I could've done to make it up to you guys up there but you guys are too stuck up!" The sky, that was already dark, boomed and lightning zapped the ground not even two feet from me.

"I would be careful what you say if I were you." The shimmery figure said. I couldn't tell if it was a guy or a girl because I couldn't see a clear figure, just a big shiny ball of light. But by the sound of the voice I guessed that it was a girl.

"I am a girl," She said. "My name is Amethyst."

"I can't even see you!" The light faded and all that was left was a girl about 19 or 20. She had raven black hair down to the small of her back with one golden streak along the left side of her head. She was petite without of the curves of say…someone with them! She had a stick-like figure!

"I can hear you!" the ground shook, she looked at the sky "Why do we have to save this one of all witches? The most sexist…" she looked at me with disgust then cocked her head toward the wind, as if she were…listening to it. Freak.

If looks could kill I'd be…well I'm already dead but I'm sure it wouldn't be good.

"Oh yea, because she's his soulmate…" she answered the wind, and looked back at me. "You better be glad that you mean what you do to the princess! Because if it was up to me your ass would go right back to where you belong, the dark void!"

Dark void?

"Ugh! The boy's an idiot too, goddess help him!"

"Amy! Get back to what you were sent here to do!" A woman appeared out of the wind.

"Do all of you…whatever you are, do that; because it's kind of creeping me out," I said backing away.

Amethyst…or Amy according to the weird woman that just appeared, literally, out of thin air walked towards me pointing her finger. "You were going to be sent to the Void,"

"Again with the Void, what is "the Void?"

"Your people call it hell," I gulped and my heart was going a million miles per minute. I thought I had redeemed myself!

"Well you didn't! Not to my surprise." Amy crossed her arms with a look of boredom on her face.

"Aren't you going to tell him what he has to do to redeem himself Amy?" Amy turned around and glared at the lady.

"Fine Ivy, have it your way!" she turned back to me, "You have to help Circle Daybreak defeat the approaching apocalypse, succeed and you have another life to live to correct your wrongs, fail and you go to hell; simple as that."

Ivy looked at her, "And?"

"And, if you find our princess while you're here then you get the choice of immortality."

Immortality! "Deal."

"Good."

"But how am I supposed to help anyone while I'm the way I am now?"

Ivy stepped forward, "You will become human," I opened my mouth to spew some witty comment about how you can't bring people back from the dead but she silenced me with a finger. "We can make you human for 1 year, and 1 year only. And in that one year you will succeed, or you will fail; the choice is yours. You will have the powers of a ghost while you're human as well."

A ghost?

"Yes idiot a ghost!" Amy finally snapped. "You will be able to float, hover, take over people's bodies, disappear, teleport, and move objects with your mind! Ya know, ghost like stuff!"

Ivy's gaze was steely, "Amy remove yourself!" She glared but disappeared. Ivy looked back at me, "You would do best not to provoke her, I won't always be here to save you."

"Hey, she started it; she was the one reading my mind and what not!"

"Nonetheless, you would do well to stay out of her way."

"Don't have to tell me twice," I murmured.

"Well, let's get on with it shall we?" She put her hand on my chest and a searing heat started racing through me. I didn't even know ghosts could feel heat. "This is going to hurt," she said. "A lot." The heat spread from my head to my toes in a blaze. I was in so much pain, my vision was getting blurry. I felt a little bit of light pressure on my body and then my senses shut down and I passed out.

GillianPOV

I sat in the room listening to the silence echo around the walls. David had gone earlier that month looking for the fourth wild power with Thierry, Morgead, Ash, Quinn, Rashel, and Keller. I missed him, after you found them it's hard to be away from your soulmate for any extended amount of time, and David had been gone for weeks.

"Miss me?" I felt David's strong arms wrap around me, apparently I had been so wrapped up in my thoughts that I hadn't heard him come in.

"More than you could ever know." I twisted in his arms as he bent his head to mine to capture my lips in a kiss. Seconds before our lips touched we heard a crash.

"Gillian! David! We've got trouble!" I heard James screaming from outside our door. "Whatever reunion you guys got going on in there is gonna have to wait!"

I wasted no time in jumping out of David's arms and running out the door and down the stairs.

When I got to the bottom the sight I saw before me shocked me into paralysis.

"Gary?"

You're reviews would be most helpful, and if you could put in a word as in how to make sure that the chapters are posted that would be great too.
