I lie on my bed scrolling through the news until something catches my attention. I stop scrolling for a minute to look at the article. As I read through the article I start tearing up.BUS CRASHES.A bus crashes on main and third street. The bus was driving the boys of the Kappa Lambda Gamma. The bus was driving too fast while taking a sharp turn onto third street causing the bus to flip over and crash into multiple other vehicles.Many witnesses say that they believe the driver was drunk or drinking while driving from the way he was driving and how he acted. Doctor’s later confirm that the driver was intoxicated. Many are killed lots in critical condition with a few leaving with scrapes and bumps. One of the victims who sadly passed away in the most triadic way was Kyle Spencer was found under pieces of scraps and debris. Kyle Spencer was pronounced dead on the spot from the condition he was in from the injuries he sustained in the crash.There will be a service held for Kyle this October on the 16 this Sunday. We put Kyle's family and the families of the other victims in our thoughts and prayers while they go through this tough time.“What's wrong with you?”“Kyle’s dead. He was in a bus crash.”“Oh you poor thing. What are you gonna do now?”“What do you mean what am I gonna do now? I just met the guy last week.”“You’re crying over the fact that the man died, you can’t tell me you didn’t love him.”“He died Madison. It’s a sad thing that I'm allowed to cry over.”“Whatever just come with me.”“Where?”“You’ll see.” Madison said as she smirked at me as she started walking out of our bedroom doorway. I quickly got out of bed following her to her car.After about thirty minutes we pulled up to a random building that looked like no one had been in it for 5 years.“Where are we?” I asked as I got out of the car following Madison up the tiny stairwell to the door.“I told you, you would see.” she said as she took a tiny pouch out of her bag pulling two slimly cut pieces of metal out of it. “I was supposed to play a cat burglar in this movie once but the funding fell through. But not before I learned how to do this.” she said as she stuck the pieces of metal into the lock wiggling them around a bit until there was a clicking noise. She pulled the pieces out of the lock opening the door.“What are we doing here Madison?” I said as we walked in the door.“We're going to fix your little boyfriend up.” Madison said as she pulled an old brownish looking piece of paper out of her bag handing it to me.“What is this? It's not even English, it's in Latin.” I say looking at the paper.“It's a resurrection spell. We’re bringing your boyfriend back from the dead” She says taking the paper back.We walk into a freezer room where there are a bunch of silver metal tables with body parts scattered across each of them.“Oh shit, I guess the crash was even worse than we thought.” Madison says walking around looking at the different bags with body parts on and in them. She walks over to one of the bags opening it. “No don’t” I look away the moment I see whose heads in the bag.“Hes still kinda cute.”“Madison!” I say still not looking in her direction.“Guess they’re trying to figure out where everything goes.” Madison says looking around the room. “Can we please just go.” I say trying not to let my voice crack but the moment the words come out of my mouth I know I can't stop it.“Zoe, look around this room, what do you see?” Madison says as she looks at hitting her arms off of the sides of her legs.“A tragedy.” I say still not looking away from the wall.“I see potential. Look nice legs over here, a great set of guns. I wonder if he's a show-er or a grower.” Madison says, looking at the different body parts around the room.“What's your point Madison I say finally looking at her.“We take the best boy parts, we attach them to Kyle’s head and we build you the perfect boyfriend.” Madison says walking over to me.“Is this a joke to you?” I say to her looking her right in the eyes.“No, it's a challenge. And all we have to do is follow this recipe.” Madison says, taking out the piece of paper again and handing it to me then walking over to the table of parts at the back of the room.“Find me a saw.”We walk into a room with a silver metal table just like the ones in the freezer only bigger with a cart of body parts. We place the body parts in the right places and Madison begins to sow them back together while I light a candle at the top of the tables where there are little random drawings in red.“I need a bowl and some hair from his head.” Madison says as she takes a pair of tiny scissors from her supplies, beginning to cut some of Kyle's hair from his head as I look around for a bowl also turning off the lights. When I find one I place it next to Kyle’s head for Madison. She takes something out of a test tube placing it in the bowl along with his hair as I pour salt around his body. Madison lights what she has in the bowl with a match then covers it with a towel when it's lit.She holds the bowl up in between us telling me to breathe in the smoke. When she takes the towel off of the bowl we both inhale the smoke. We both stop for a moment before screaming out while holding our heads in our hands.When that's done Madison asks for my hand as I hand it over to her she takes a knife and cuts a line down the palm of my hand.“Blood is our sacrament.” She then takes the blood from palm and draws a circle with a stair in the middle of it on Kyle's chest while chanting “Calpriziana, offina alta nestra, fuero menut. Azazel, we submit to you body and soul the lord of the underworld we offer you our obedience and everlasting devotion until death sanctifies this unholy union.”“Did we just marry the devil cause I don't know if I’m down for that.” I say right as Madison pulls her hand away from Kyle’s chest as thought it had burned her.“Beroald, Beroald, Balbin, Gab, Gabor, Agaba.” Madison starts chanting before I join her.“Beroald, Beroald, Balbin, Gab, Gabor, Agaba. Beroald, Beroald, Balbin, Gab, Gabor, Agaba. Beroald, Beroald, Balbin, Gab, Gabor, Agaba.”“Return to the mortal coil! Arise!” Madison says moving her hands over Kyle’s chest.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
When Kyle doesn't awaken or move Madison looks back at the Latin written words on the piece of paper.
“It says you have to kiss him.” She says looking my way.
“What!” I say looking from Madison to Kyle.
“Do you want your little boyfriend back or not? If you do, I advise you just kiss him.” Madison says, setting the paper back on the table where it was before looking at me. I look at her then back at Kyle, I lean down closing my eyes as I place my warm lips on his cold ones giving him a small peck of a kiss. The moment I take my lips off of Kyles his eyes open wide and he sits right up. He looks from me to Madison then tries to get off of the table he had just been lying on.
“Hey, hey shhhh lay back down its ok I okay I got you.” I say grabbing onto him trying to get him to stay on the table.
“Well you got your boyfriend back, have fun.” Madison says starting to walk away.
“Hey where are you going? I need help and he doesn't have any clothes on.” I say still trying to keep Kyle on the table.
“Well I don’t have clothes so we're just gonna have to get him in the car and go from there.” Madison says as walking back over to the table, grabbing the spell sheet and putting it back into her bag.
“Where are we gonna bring him?” I ask getting Kyle off the table.
“The academy obvisally.” Madison says help me. We get Kyle in the back seat of the car and I sit with him as Madison gets in the front to drive.Once we get back to the academy we sneak Kyle inside and into a spare room where no one is staying.
“Someones gonna find him sooner or later.” I say as we get Kyle into some clothes and into the bed.
“Well he’ll be fine in here for now so calm down.” Madison says as we walk out of the room.
“What are you girls doing?” Cordelia asks as she walks up the stairs.
“We were just talking about asking to get our own rooms since there are so many empty ones and as growing women we need our space and privacy.” Madison says as she looks over at me and winks.
“That is a great idea, I'll think about it but dinners ready so let's eat before we get too much into that.” Cordelia says as she walks away to probably tell Queenie and Nan that dinner is ready as we start walking down the stairs.
“Nice save and that's actually a smart idea.”
“It’s no problem and ya cause you and your little boyfriend are gonna need your own room.
“Eww stop.” I say as we get to the dining room table. After dinner I walked up the stairs on my way to the room me and Madison left Kyle in. Once I get there I find Kyle still laying in the bed, he perks up as he hears me opening the door.
“Hi.” I say as he gets up and walks over to me. He grabs my hand pulling me over to the bed pulling me into it with him.
“Do you want me to stay with you tonight?” I ask as I begin to curl up with Kyle, he shakes his head at me while he pulls me more into himself. It's in this moment that I realise this is how I'm going to be spending the rest of my life, curled up in bed with a boy that I brought back from the dead.
