Living While Dead
chapter 3: a walk to the city
Aeron asked his mother if she could drop him off at the mall, she agreed, and me and Aeron got into the car. the drive was fast and we got to the mall in less than5 minutes. this mall wasnt there when i was alive, it was called Klaas' Department Store. we got out of the car, than his mother drove away. we walked down the street instead of going into the mall, i didnt ask why though. we walked a few blocks past a few pawn shops and antique stores whenwe came upon a sign that

We entered to find an old, gypsy looking woman looking at Aeron. "Why have you brought a ghost into my shop Aeron?" she asked.
"grandma, we need to help her, she missed out on life,and wishes to return to living." he said. i took a better look at the woman, then Aeron. he looked exactlylike her. white hair, silver eyes, unique, and beautiful.
"i cannot help. it is impossible." Madame Mim said.
"IT IS! and if you wont do it, i will . now where is that spell book?"he climbed up a ladder and started to inspect a large shelf on the wall. Mim turned to me, and said, "ill let him do it, he wants to help you. he has only you as a friend here. he cares for you very much. he is special and can do this, do not let him down. take good care of him." she left the room quickly. Aeron climbed down the ladder, holding a book in his hand. he walked over to a cupboard and opened a door in the back of it. he pulled out a bottle with a dark mud looking liquid sloshing around in it. He grabbed a few other bottles and stormed out of the shop. I followed quickly, trying to keep up with him. He went to the mall and bought a small item and put all of the stuff from the physic’s store into it. He called his mother and we left. He went into his room and slammed the door. I sat outside of his door, not wanting to invade his privacy. He opened the door slightly and let me in. his room was messier than usual, things set on the floor so that he would have most tables to work on. He had the spellbook on his dresser next to the picture he found for me. He had bottles next to the book with nasty liquids in them. His eyes were glued to one certain bottle. He picked it up, then handed it to me and said, “drink it.”
“you must be joking. It looks disgusting!” I said.
“do you want to be alive or not?!” he yelled “this should keep you human for about a week, so ill make more later if you want me to. My mom signed us up to take in a foreign exchange student from England. So you’ll have a cover for a while. Now drink.” He held the bottle to my lips.
I nodded, then swallowed down the nasty tasting liquid and nearly threw up! Then I realized, I was holding the bottle, with a pale hand! I was alive! I could see my gray ghostly body changing to a pink, skin colored body! I had on the dress I wore on the day I died on, stained with blood, but I didn’t care, I leaped over to Aeron and gave him the biggest hug I could. Weak from not really walking for so long, I fainted. I felt Aeron pick me up and set me on his bed. He sat at the end of the bed and waited for me to wake up.
I woke up at about 3 in the morning. Aeron was asleep on the floor. Remembering that I was human again because of him, I took a blanket, covered him up, kissed his cheek, then fell back to sleep. He woke me up 3 hours later and told me I had to knock at the door and pretend I was the exchange student saying that my plane came in early. I nodded, then slipped out the window and walked to the front door . I knocked once, then again. Than Aeron’s mom opened the door in her pajamas, with a confused look on her face.
“hello, im Amelia, the exchange student.”
“I was expecting you, but not this early!” she replied.
“well my flight had to be made earlier so that the fog wouldn’t get in the way..”
“well I understand that, but why didn’t you bring anything with you? And why are your clothes blood stained?!” she exclaimed.
“um..well, my mother, um.. uses red paint and splatters the clothes she designs, its her signature, and I lost my clothes in the baggage claim… I think they went to Paris..”
“oh..i see.. well let me introduce you to everyone…my name is Alice by the way.” She opened the door for me, and we walked in.
its kinda longer and some things are spelled wrong but i hope that wont be a problem! =]
enjoy it kids!
