Chapter 7: Death Keeps Knocking on My Door

*Nighttime, Back at The Cemetery-Josette Laughlin's Grave*

Alaric is at Josette's grave and puts two pictures down near her plaque. A picture of Lizzie and Josie and their wedding day portrait. Dorian comments to him sternly, "Ric, why don't you go home? I'll take care of all of this?" He looks up at him and shakes his head, stands and says sternly, "The only place I'm going is to find whatever monster did this and kill it!" Dorian nods in understanding and then the monster laughs, shows up and says confident with a smile, "It wouldn't do you any good!" Alaric says confused, "Who the hell are you?" The guy responds and says, "Your pathetic attempts of humor has done nothing to mask your fear and tremble then in the presence of The Necromancer!" He laughs, hysterically. Alaric responds and says still confused, "Who?" The guy responds and says with a smile, "The Necromancer: Creator of Life and Death. He who holds fates' threats and holds the keys to the Underworld!" Alaric looks over to Dorian and remarks with a smile, "It's not ringing any bells, you?" Dorian nods and admits, "The Necromancers are from video games, they like low levels of witch cannon fire." The guy laughs again and continues, "I am no mere witch, but there's only one of me, I assure you. You know what I can do, so let's get to down to busy bout the knife?!" Alaric responds and says sternly and retorts pissed off, "Oh if your responsible for what went down today, you'll be wishing for a slow death!" The guy responds and says sternly, "I told you death can not hold me!" Alaric nods and grabs a shovel and says sternly, "Buddy... He hits him in the face knocking him out on the ground and continues with a smile, "We'll see bout that!"

*A Few Hours Later- Back Inside, The Saltzman Boarding School: For the Young and Gifted*

A girl with long black hair, is wandering the streets from out of the cemetery and goes to the Saltzman Boarding School. Back at the school in the Sarah Salvatore Memorial Library, Faye, Tatia, Riker, Rafael and the other students are writing letters to honor their deceased loved ones. Faye comments from a far and speaks, "Once a year for Remembrance Day, were asked to write letters to our lost loved ones. We sign our names, fold them up, and scatter them outside the cemetery... Faye is seating on the staircase sketching a picture of the Necromancer bored and continues speaking and admits, "I usually don't see the point in it. Why write to the dead? I'd rather not think bout it at all except lately, death keeps knocking on my door!" The girl walks inside the building, wearing, the same causal clothes that she died in and Rafael sees her and says in shock, "Cassie?!" She nods and says in shock and confused, "Raff?" Faye looks shocked and says surprised, "Cassie, isn't that?" He nods and says with a smile, "My girlfriend!" He hugs Cassie.

*The Werewolf Transitional Cellar- A Interrogation*

The Necromancer has grey hair. and wearing, a black suit. He's chained, down, in a chair, in, the middle, of the room and Alaric throws a machete at him in a fit of rage and it hits the top of the Necromancers' head, but it doesn't hurt him and he comments bored to Alaric, "Was that really necessary?!" Alaric nods and retorts sternly and not in the mood for games, "I told you I need answers!" He responds and retorts with a smile, "Why would I help you? You locked me in chains, this indignity will not go unblemished!" Alaric smiles and retorts tired now, "We've been at this for four days! Answer my questions or I will start peeling your face off as grapes and shower you with battery acid?!" He grabs the machete by its handle and removes it from his head and points it at Alaric and comments with a smile, "You and your rather grotesque efforts are for your fill and only tickle me for a further!" He hands him the weapon and Alaric snatches it and walks away from him and over to a table of objects and lays it down and then grabs a blow torch. Alaric turns to him and retorts with a smile and comments to the weapon, "Alright, let's see how this feels!" He turns it on and fire comes out and the Necromancer isn't fazed by it and glares at him. Faye walks in and says sternly interrupting them, "Dr. Saltzman!" Alaric sighs and turns it off and the Necromancer smiles and comments to Faye, "There you are lovely girl? I was wondering if you'd come visit me again?" She glares at him revolted as he continues and comments bout Rafael with a smile, "How is your friend, I saw you with earlier trying to steal your explicit cucumber?" She responds and retorts, "As we speak, he's having an emotional breakdown with his dead girlfriend! I assume we have you to thank?" Alaric looks shocked and the Necromancer nods, comments and remarks with a smile, "Poor dear, her spirit was clinging to him like a vine in winter? It took barely any effort, just a little wrinkle on the nose and poof young love reborn!" She says nothing as he continues pissed off, "You're lucky that's all I did... Alaric opens the gate and locks it as he continues and remarks, "The way you treated a man of my stature, you should be ashamed?!" Alaric starts for the door and then says to the Necromancer tired and yells annoyed, "Literally nobody knows who you are?!" He responds and retorts sternly, "That's impossible!" Alaric walks over to Faye and informs her, "I'll go check on Raff!" She nods and says, "K!" He leaves and the Necromancer comments to Faye with a smile, "If you want to end this misery, bring me the damn knife and I'll simply be on my way?!" She opens her mouth, to say something, but Alaric yells sternly, "Faye!" She leaves and follows after him.
