Hi readers ! Sorry to keep you all waiting. This chapter will be in Jonah Pov (Yay!) Yes this is the chapter where Jonah gives Ara her birthday present. I had some reviews saying that my story reminded them of twilight, and its ironic that while I was writing this, I was reminded of the story. I just want to say that this story will not end like the twilight saga. Any who, along with the story!

Jon Pov
Today was the day. October 14th. Ara was sleeping as usual even though she needed to get up for school. I sighed. I had my plans of how to
give her wish, and it was her only wish. I rolled my eyes at her with a smile on my face. I made the room colder so that Ara would wake up. She
groanedand rolled over, she opened one eye and saw my black figure in the corner. "Jonah, 5 more minutes,its my birthday. Please?" she
begged. For a moment, I almost gave in. Her golden eyes were stunning as they held my blue ones with the most adorable look. I shook my
head " Its time to get up love, I can hear your parents thinking about waking you up with the happy birthday song"I said. Her eyes widen when
I mentioned the happy birthday song. She mentioned it last night in her dreams that she hated that song when I started to hum it to her. She
immediately got up and ran to get her clothes for today. Before she left I gave her a happy birthday kiss, as she left I couldn't help but to smile
as I saw the blush on her cheeks I watched as she walked down the drive way to her car, she gave a quick glance to the window that I was
looking from. She smiled and waved good-bye to me and drove off. I sighed and I went to go see Mr. Aikman. It wasn't hard to find him; he
always dwelled in the attic. When I appeared in front of him, he looked at me in a shocked manner and walked around me. "What do you want
Jonah?" he asked in a weary voice. "I need a favor sir" I said to him. He looked up at me and his eyes were furious. "Why should I help you
maggot? Because of you I lost everything." he told me. I sighed " What if I offered you something in return?" I asked. His eyes turned curious.
"….. I'm listening.". "I know where Mrs. Elizabeth is." I said. For a moment his eyes turned a deepbrown instead of their usual black. He walked
up to me and looked me strait in the eye. " I am listening intently." He said.
…
"Okay so let me get this strait, my wife is still in the alleyway where she died?" Aikman asked still unsure, even though he asked me this
question 10 times. "Yes sir" I huffed I was getting impatient. "Humph interesting.. Now what was it that you needed my help with?" he
inquired. I took a deep breath " I want to become mortal." I said in a firm voice. "Ahhh Jonah, is this for the young Ms.O'Connor ?" he asked. I
nodded my head staring intently at the ground. "Jonah don't you think it would be easier for her to become immortal?" He said. I looked up and
stared coldly at him. "Ok, now where to begin in the process" he started. "Where are your remains?" He asked, I frowned. "I can't really be
sure, my ashes were released sir." I said. "So your remains are in the air." Aikman said making sure he understood. I nodded; fearing his
answer. He sighed, "Ok this maybe more of a challenge. I want you to stand right here." he instructed. I stood at the spot he had pointed to as
he muttered "Corpus Unum murtes ". I waited and nothing happened. I sighed defeated. " Don't fret Jonah I am just trying to see if you even
have chance of becoming mortal again" he said while concentrating. I stood there nervously, just waiting for the bad news to hit me like a ton of
bricks. Then Aikman smiled a rare smile. "My boy, you are very lucky indeed. You have a chance however I must warn you. You better not be
lying to me about Elizabeth; I can bring death upon you more painful then your original passing," he warned. "I'm positive, I went to make sure
myself." I assured. He breathed a sigh of relief "Second of all. You will only live until you are 45, so you can take it or leave it." I pondered this,
"Anything else? Will I be blind?" I asked suspiciously. He shook his head "You will still have your power to see the dead but you will not be able
to read the livings minds anymore." I nodded "Sir I'll take it, please." I begged. " OK first of all, Your going to need new clothes, so I suggest you
get some as soon as possible." he instructed. I went to Ara's parents room and found a pair of faded blue jeans, an old ACDC shirt, black shoes
and a pair of black boxers. I shrugged, Ara's mom was going to give them away anyways. I appeared back in the attics clothes in hand. Aikman
nodded, "Very good now this may feel strange but here it goes." He closed his eyes and muttered "Mortales Corpus Unum murtes". I closed my
eyes and I felt a gushing on energy pass through my veins along with the sense of like I was being wrapped up. I open my eyes to find my
hand being formed again. I stared in utter shock as my body went through the mortalizing process
…
The last thing to change was my heart. I waited patiently for it to beat once more. THUMP-THUMP I smiled as the sound of my heart was so
alien to my ears. I changed into the clothes and looked at my reflection in the mirror. I ran my hand through my hair still doubting this was all
real. I was seriously afraid that I would wake up and this would have been a strange dream. I turned to see Aikman staring proudly at me. He
offered me his hand and I did something I would of never thought of doing. I shook his hand and whispered "Thank you sir". He nodded and
said "Thank you Jonah, I hope Elizabeth will remember me". "Good luck sir and the best wishes to you both" I said with a smile. We both
retracted our hands and Aikman said "You too Jonah". That was the last thing he said before he left me.
…
I decided to get out of the house for a while before Ara came home. I ran into the walls 3 times before it sunk in that I couldn't magically appear
anymore. When I walked out of the house, I felt the sun hit my skin for the first time in 80 years. I smiled as the cool fall breeze ran against my
new body. I walked around, looking at the changes that had happened in this small town since I had died. I walked and realized I had just
passed Thomas' house. I looked up to see the boy looking down at me with his face still horrible burned. I smiled and waved as I walked by. I
heard his door opened and I heard him yell "Hey you!" I turned around and saw him running over to me. I rolled my eyes and hoped I wouldn't
have to fight this scum of the earth. I still held a grudge against him for touching Ara inappropriately .. When he approached me he asked "Hey
kid, what's your name?". I smiled "Jonah, you?". Thomas froze in fear and his voice cracked "Have we meet?". I shook my head and said " Pretty
impressive for an incubus huh?". Thomas growled and said " Your back! Jesus I hope you know that you are officially the stalker of Connecticut."
I just replied "You're the one that followed me out here so please leave me alone. And by the way, if I am such a stalker, why do you still harass
Ara?". I turned and walked away as Thomas cursed up a storm behind me.
…
The first thing I did was I went to the cemetery. I looked until I found the grave of Mrs. Elizabeth Aikman. I looked down and I whispered " I
hope you know that Ramsey is looking for you." I felt a breeze by my side and I looked to see Mrs. Elizabeth in all her glory. She had her brown
hair tightly in a bun and she wore a light purple dress. Her eyes were a soft gray and her oval face contained a short round nose with full lips to
match. She looked at me and said "My dear Ramsey is looking for me?" I nodded and said "He should be at the alleyway now.". Elizabeth
hugged me tightly, making my whole body go cold as she whispered "Thank you Master Jonah, thank you!" . The last thing I ever saw of Mrs.
Elizabeth was that she was floating to the gates whispering " My dear Ramsey has finally returned." . I walked out of the cemetery feeling
lighter and with a backward glance I saw a little girl with blonde hair wave goodbye to me as she ran off to play, disappearing into the
headstones.
The next thing I did was I ran to library. I extremely curious to see what had happened so I looked in the old town records. I saw my name and
my basic information. I was finally aware that I needed to get and identity. I was 18 and I was eligible to get one. I sat down at the computers
awkwardly and looked at the strange design in confusion. I had seen Ara use one before and I hoped it would be just as easy. I clicked on the
internet icon and looked up google. I was pleased to see that I had made it this far with out any problems. I searched "Making an Identity" and
I was surprised to see all of the results I had received. I sighed and cramped my fingers. This would take a while.
After three hours of sitting at the computer from hell, I had finally made myself an identity. I was now Jonah Marcus Adams, I was born on
January 3rd , 1991 in Hartford,Connecticut and I had no family . I printed out the form and took the paper to the registration office. I
was greeted by a middle aged woman who took the form from my hands and told me to stand on the X. She instructed me to smile and she took
my picture. Twenty minutes later the woman handed me a plastic rectangle that said my name, birthday etc. I walked out of the library to see a
group of girls giggling and talking to some guy. Obviously he was trying to impress them by telling them he was captain of the football team and
that he had a chance to play for the New York Giants. I was surprised to see Ara in the group of giggling girls. She was standing beside a short
petite girl with long black hair and golden highlights who was whispering in Ara's ear. What ever she said Ara laughed quietly at and nodded her
head in agreement. "Lets go before we become this blob's target at school." the short girl said. Ara nodded her head and she said " Do you
want to come to my place or yours." The girl shrugged, "It doesn't matter. Whatever is fine with you." Ara rolled her eyes and was about to say
something when she saw me coming down the stairs. Her eyes were wide in shock as I smiled and walked away.

I just stood there as a saw a guy very similar looking to Jonah walk down the stairs of the library. He smiled at me an kept walking on the
sidewalk. "Ara, are you ok? It looks like you just saw a ghost" Ashley said. I shook my head and just said ' I think I should go home; I don't
really feel so good." We walked to the parking lot, gave each other a quick hug and drove off in different directions. In my car I had trouble
paying attention to the road. My thoughts were making my head spin and I felt nauseous. When I got home, there was nobody but me. I ran
inside and got a glass of water. As I was drinking it, I felt a presence behind me. I smiled and turned around to find nobody there. " Jonah?" I
called out. I received no answer. I went to my room and sat on my bed. I looked around waiting for him to magically appear. I heard footsteps
up stairs. I sighed, knowing it was probably one of the parental figures coming home. However then I realized; I didn't hear the door open. I
knew Jonah never made a sound when he was walking. I curled up into a ball and the footsteps were growing louder as they approached my
room. I was shaking in fear as the footsteps came down the stairs. I wanted to run away but my body was frozen in shock. I closed my eyes
fearing the worst when the footsteps stopped at the end of the stairs. They moved across the room towards my bed; towards me. I was
surprised that I didn't hear a gun being pulled or the roar of a chainsaw coming to life. I peeked one of my eyes open and a shiver of cold ran
down my spine. There was no one there. I let out a squeak of fear as I closed my eye tight. I quickly got up and ran towards the stairs. My eyes
were still closed so I slammed into the wall. I fell back to the floor with a groan. I heard someone chuckle " That wasn't probably the smartest
thing to do, now was it?". I stood up and turned around. I gasped, there on my bed was Jonah himself. I laughed when I saw the bow on his
head. I walked toward him but stopped. I looked around wearily and asked "Is this a dream?". He shook his head and walked up to me. "If this
was a dream could I do this?" he said as he bent his head down towards mine. Then I felt his warm lips touch mine, I pulled away shocked. I felt
his face and felt tears coming to my eyes. I felt so stupid when I finally realized he was alive. Not my beloved ghost, but an alive human being.
He cocked his eyebrows and he asked '"Is there something wrong?". I pulled his face closer and kissed him like we had never kissed before. He
apparently felt the same way by the way his lips moved with mine as I pressed my hand to his chest. It was then I felt his heart beating quickly.
He lifted me up and twirled me around without breaking the kiss. When we broke apart gasping for air, we left our foreheads touching. "I can't
believe it." I whispered. He smiled and whispered back "Happy Birthday."
And reveiw!!!
