Never Gonna Be Alone/ I Am Not the One

                                    Land of the Dead-Victor’s P.O.V

“O my goodness, he’s still breathing.”

“How did he get down here?”

“Who cares on how got down here! Somebody get Emily!”

            I opened my eyes slowly and picked my head up a little. My vision was all wonky and it felt like my head was going to explode. I closed my eyes and shook my head to get a clearer vision. All it gave me was pain rocketing through my head. I clasped my head in my hands and moaned slightly. I heard a few people gasp and one of them began to pick me up. The last I saw was a bony hand coming towards me and then everything went black again.

*Flashback* Land of the living-Victor’s P.O.V

            I quietly opened the front door so I wouldn’t wake up my parents. The Emily butterfly waited patiently on one of the flower beds while I closed the door. I looked back at the butterfly and outstretched my hand. She gracefully flew into it.

“Alright Emily. Where do we go now?”

She took off into the night sky and flew through town, me following close behind. I knew by the trail that we were going that she was taking me to the edge of town, right near the church. I shuddered. What if the butterfly is taking me there? The last thing I want to be is caught by the Pastor. I glanced at the butterfly. She was going straight toward the church. Although I get why she would take me to the church, that’s where I last saw her, I really don’t wanna go.

I got caught off guard when she took a sharp right turn and headed to the bridge, right into the woods. Ok. Second place I expected her to take me to. I followed her across the bridge and down a familiar path in the woods. She stopped right at the old oak tree and rested against a dirt pile, flapping her wings in a slow, depressing rhythm. It clicked.

“This is where you died, isn’t it?” I whispered, placing a hand on the dirt pile.

            She flapped towards a grave stone and flew over it, beating her wings hard. I followed her and saw an endless hole where the body of this person was supposed to be. My eyes widened, already knowing how I’m going to get down to the Land of the Dead. I took one look at Emily who just shot straight down into the hole. I signed and closed my eyes, not even wanting to look back as I jumped into the hole of what looked like never ending darkness. It felt like years that I was falling through the hole when I finally heard familiar jazz music through my ears. Then I landed on some sort of hard floor. The music stopped and I heard people gasp. I couldn’t even open my eyes and began to black out as I heard someone shouting.  

“Hey everyone! New arrival! And it’s Victor!”
