9 AM | Home | Edward
"yawwwnn"
Ahh yeah; Saturday morning. Good thing too cause it was a long first week back.. :/
I start my day like every other, I get out of bed brush my tee-
Knock knock knock!!
Thaaat was my window..
"EDWARD!!!" Zip yells from outside.
"HOLD ON!!" I respond.
I make my way over to my bedroom window behind which is... Zip..
"What the hell??" I ask.
"You weren't answering the door.." Zip says.
"That doesn't mean immediately escalate to window!"
"Dragons fly bro get over it.."
"That's meaningless to me. What's up anyways??"
"What do you mean what's up!!" She returns, angrily.
"Uhm.. I mean... Happy birthday?"
"YOU IDIOT!! Me and Oliver killed that new girl and I don't think she's coming back!!"
"Oh.. Yeah... I kinda forgot about her.."
"..."
"Sorry? It was like Monday I hardly remember her.." I apologize.
"I guess you didn't see what Alice did to her, but even still!"
"Do you want to hangout and get your mind off of it?"
"No? I want you to use your mad science to do something about it!"
Ouch.. That hurt..
"I promise you it really doesn't work like that. Wait, why do you care that much anyways?" I say.
"Well it's kinda abnormal for people to not like reappear.. And plus Engel is sooo sad about it, which is bumming everybody else out too..." She explains.
"Well that's unfortunate, but really its impossib-" I pause mid sentence.
"What is it?"
"Okay.. I might have seen a book in the library one time but I think it was from like 1802.."
"Sounds legit to me. Will you at least give it a shot?" Zip says, curiously.
"I'll... See what I can do..."
"Hell yeah, Edward!!" Zip smile's and gives me a quick hug. "So what do we do first?"
"Nothing.. It's day time and I can't revive her without y'know.. her. We can still hangout for a bit though?"
"Well I would but I'm kinda busy this morning.. Text me about it tonight!" Zip says, before leaving.
Why do I even try with her.. </3
"Yeah just ignore that last part it's fine.." I mumble quietly before closing my door and going back to my room.
I really hope I didn't just bite off waaay more than I can chew.. I mean as long as the new girl is still in one piece I can probably figure something out.. I've read about people being 'reanimated' before but I've only ever seen one book that wasn't completely nonsense. Plus it's not like not being objectively incorrect in the first 25 pages means it's legit.. Well even if it doesn't work this might be a good opportunity to get closer to Zip heh.. I need to go collect some different stuff though..
I spend all day setting up all my science equipment in the basement and reading books of old, I even get a gurney from local the hospital. I also make sure to set up some electrical stuff.. When the sun goes down I sneak out through the garage and make my way to the school; Zip told me the body was behind the school, apparently they didn't even bother paying someone to remove it...
"Okay I'm making my way around back right now!" I whisper into my portable radio.
"..."
"Uhm Zip are you there?"
"Are you done talking? You never said over. Over." I hear in reply, definitely Zip.
"Oh whatever.. Over." I respond.
"What's going on? Why are yall using the radios?" Oliver asks.
"Were bringing the new girl back to life. Over." Zip explains.
"Crrclick" Oliver turns off his radio.
"Some help he was.." I say.
"Yeah I told you he wouldn't really care. Over." Zip says.
"Hold on I think I see- WHAT THE FUCK.."
"What's wrong?" Zip asks.
"SHE'S IN TWO PECIES??"
"Oh yeah I guess I didn't mention that.."
"Zip, I really don't think I can even look at her, much less revive her.."
"Whaat?! Can't you like... 'Reanimate' her? Like a zombie?"
"..."
"Yeah so it is possible!" She says.
"Why do you care so much again?"
"I feel bad for Engel?"
"There's no way that's all of it.."
"sigh. Okay.. sortaaa used to know her and I didn't think she wasn't gonna come back.."
"It was probably because of Alice's color magic.. Wait if you knew her then why did you and Oliver pick on her all day?"
"I was uhm.. Accreting my dominance?"
"Yeah whatever that means.." I say, disinterestedly
"..."
"CAN YOU BRING HER BACK? PLEASEEE?" Zip's voice is made super annoying over the radio.
"I guess I've already come this far... I can't use the radio and carry a body bag so I'll text you later. Bye."
"You mean over and out?"
"Bye. Over and out!" I say, turning off my radio with a satisfying click sound.
The sight is gnarly and the smell abhorrent, but if it makes Zip happy I guess I have no choice..
- Five Hours later - 2:20 AM
"Uhgg I hate doing stiches.." I say, closing up the last stitch.
I look over at my audio recording device on the table, verifying its still recording. Knowing exactly what I did is important to my scientific process..
"Okay I've just completed the stiches at 2:22 AM. Wow it's pretty late actually.." I announce.
I'm trying to stay really focused, but I feel like an evil scientist and I'm having perhaps too much fun trying to make an undead monster..
"Uhm.. okay.. boiling flask to 180F.. 12oz bleach into 60oz 'life solution.'" I narrate.
"Now I'm adding the platinum/mercury mixture. Activating the stirring magnet.."
"Waiting 2 minutes for stirring to complete."
...
"Mwahhhahahahahahaaa!" I can't help myself..
...
"Now I'm filling the syringe.. And I've administered the solution at time.. 2:25." I continue.
"Okayy.. Now all that's left is to pull my cartoonish lever.. 3.. 2.. 1..-"
Suddenly everything turns white and my eyes are burning.
"AHHH!!" I yell.
I get up after a second and try to look around.
"An extreme arc flash happened instantly upon flipping the switch. I must have set up the electrical components incorrectly. Aaand my recording device is destroyed.." I say.
Awesome. And the 'subject' is still dead; resounding success. I'm just going to bed, I'll have to tell Zip about it in the morning.. I mean It's not like it would have worked anyways but I'll just retry it tomorrow..
I turn the lights off and head to my room, tossing my cartoonish evil gloves aside before switching into pajamas. I climb into bed and fall asleep almost instantly.
ZZZzzz ZZZzzz ZZZzz- CRASH!!
I jolt awake at the sound a crash coming from the basement.
Uhgg! I need to stop leaving my glassware on the edge of the table.. I'll clean it up in the morn- My thoughts are interrupted..
Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerttch...
I don't think mice can drag metal tables around..
I grab the nearest heavy object which happens to be a large beaker on my nightstand, and tentatively make my way downstairs. When I reach the basement stairs I see that the light is on down there. I cautiously step down the stairs until I see the source of the commotion...
"Oh my science..." I mutter.
"Guh?" She responds.
"IT'S ALIVE!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!" I declare instinctually.
