In the eerie odd small town of Arrington, nothing is ever normal.
Violet Benton and The Benton Gang are 20-something young adults that lives in Arrington -- an Odd town with mysterious twisted complimented darkness and a reputation for being an odd...
Violet (VO) I didn't think it would come to this. Me or the guys. Tucker didn't deserve what happened to him. His death was caused by a figurine of himself. But deep down, the guys and I knew who was responsible for Tucker's temporary death. Cody and Gabe Asher. And yes, I said "temporary death" because Christine Avery still has her wizard magic.

THE LOUNGE CLUBHOUSE
After Tucker's funeral, me and the Benton Gang had regrouped with Christine Avery, who is distraught and teary-eyed at the loss of her boyfriend, Tucker.

We're sitting at a table with our smoothies, comforting Christine.
My head is gently leaning on Christine's right shoulder. Christine has been quiet since the funeral. I don't blame her. Neither of us do.
"I think you should eat something, Christine." Cherry suggested, breaking the silence with some small talk.
"Cherry's right, you should eat a sandwich or something." I agreed with Cherry.
"I'm not really hungry, but I appreciate the gesture." Christine said.
"We're not gonna eat if you eat something." I said to her.
"Okay, I'll get us some deli sandwiches." Christine said, getting up and slowly walks away.
Me and the Benton Gang exchange worried looks at each other.
"Do you think she's gonna go after Cody and Gabe?" Eric asked.
"Maybe." I said. "Tucker's body is at Dr. Miss. Feather's coroner's office in a body-bag. We needed to fake a funeral for Tucker, so, Cody and Gabe can think and believe that he's dead."
"Wait a minute, let's think about this, resurrecting Tucker from death. Won't that have a consequence?" Ava asked.
Me and the Benton Gang exchange worried looks at each other.
"Damn, this is so messed up." Matt said.
"Christine can resurrect Tucker from the deceased. But that's her choice to make." I said.
"Resurrecting Tucker back from the deceased. We have to make sure that it doesn't go awry." said Jonny.
"I'll talk to Christine." I said.
And Christine Avery walks back over to the table, gently sets down the platter of deli ham and cheese sandwiches.
"Thanks, Christine." I thanked her with a small smile.
"You're welcome." Christine Avery said, sitting back down at the table.
And we all eat on our deli ham and cheese sandwiches.
"Christine? I know you don't want to talk about it right now, but do you think, with your wizard magic, you can resurrect Tucker from the deceased?" I asked her.
"I almost forgot about that." Christine Avery said. "I think I can."
"But there's a catch. We don't know if resurrecting Tucker is gonna be a consequence." Sonya said.
"I know." Christine Avery said. "But I think I can do it."
"Okay." I said.

ARRINGTON CEMETERY
Later that day, Me and the Benton Gang went with Christine Avery at Tucker's grave.
Christine Avery slowly walks up to Tucker's tombstone and gently kneels down and gently soothes Tucker's name with her fingertips, crying softly to herself.
And then, Cody and Gabe Asher slowly walks up to us.
"What the hell are two doing here? Come to gloat?" I asked, becoming angry.
"We did not come here to gloat. We would not do such a thing." Gabe said.
"We came to give our condolences." Cody said.
"How thoughtful of you both." Jessy sarcastically said.
"My son and I understand your grievance." Cody said.
"Just leave. Both of you." I told both Cody and Gabe Asher.
Cody and Gabe walks away.
I slowly walks up to Christine Avery as she gets back up to her feet.
"It's up to you, Christine." I said to her.
"I can resurrect Tucker." Christine Avery said.
"Okay." I said.
*~*~*
THE LOUNGE CLUBHOUSE
Later that late afternoon, Tucker's wrapped up dead body lays on a table.
Me and the Benton Gang are with Christine Avery. She's holding a paper in her hand.
"Whenever you're ready, Christine." I said to her.
Christine looks at the paper with the incantation for the resurrected.
Suddenly, the lights starts flickering on and off, worrying us.
"Guys? This doesn't seem good." Aaron said.
The lights stops flickering and a green flame ignites Tucker's body.
"Oh my gosh." Cherry said, shocked.
The wrapped up cloth is gently torn open and Tucker slowly sits up straight on the table. The green flame disappears and Tucker takes a deep breath and inhales and exhales.
"Tucker?" I asked.
A resurrected Tucker looks at us, bewilderedly. "Was I dead?"
"We'll talk about it after you composure yourself." I said.
Tucker and Christine exchange looks at each other.
Christine Avery slowly walks up to her boyfriend. And the two exchanged relieved looks at each other.
"Tucker? Are you okay?" Christine asked.
"Yeah, I'm okay." Tucker reassured her.
Tucker and Christine Avery exchange small smiles at each other and they hug.
*~*~*
Afterwards, Tucker is sitting at a table, eating a deli ham and cheese sandwich along with a bottle of beer.
"Tucker? Do you remember anything?" I asked him.
"I was at my apartment and I saw a figurine of myself on the coffee table. I don't know how it got there. I checked it out and it started to bleed from its eyes, nose, ears and mouth. So did I." Tucker told us. "And I died."
"Hmm?" I said to myself, thinking to myself.
"What are you thinking, Vinny?" Maggie asked.
"If Cody and Gabe Asher made a figurine of Tucker from clay, then, they must have made figurines of us as well. And if either Cody or Gabe killed Tucker with their dark powers, they can do anything." I said.
We all exchange worried looks at each other.

At Cody Asher's apartment, in the living room, Cody is sitting in his armchair, looking at the figurines of Violet Benton and the Benton Gang, along with others.
