William: And you said you couldn't dance.
Kim: I can't, not really.But it helped to have someone who knew what
he was doing.
William: I've been to a party or two in my lifetime.
Kim: Cosette...Who was she? What happened to her?
William: She died here in this house, killed by her own mother.
Kim: Are you serious? Who would kill their own daughter?!
William: The woman was...unkind to Cosette...
Kim: That is not right.

https://i.postimg.cc/7LJq1zjG/Screenshot-60.jpg
William: the heir to the mansion loved her very much.
Kim: Your great-grandfather right?
William: Yes.Her mother did her best to keep them apart...
And had hired an evil woman by the name of Leota, to kill the heir.
Kim: This just gets more sad...I don't know if I can take this.
William: His spirit still wanders these halls, waiting for the return of Cosette.

https://i.postimg.cc/G2Bqfrv9/Screenshot-72.jpg
William: If you listen carefully, you can still hear the beating of
his heart.

https://i.postimg.cc/fL6BnFvC/Screenshot-73.jpg
Kim: Oh.That is the saddest story.I' have heard in a long time.
William: Yes, and it still haunts us all to this day...
Kim: Thank you for sharing, but as a favor, please don't tell my
sister.She really doesn't like ghost stories or tales of hauntings.
William: Ha! You have my word, I promise.

downstairs...

April: Leota, still here after all these years?
Leota: April still as whiny and stuck after all these years?
April: Touche.I need your help Leota.
Leota: As you can see, I'm not in much of a position to help.Being stuck at this
crystal ball, has really rained on my parade.
April: And its because of you we're all stuck here...Unless we can reunite William and Cosette.
Leota: You know Sarah is not Cosette.
April: I'm very well aware of that.Your little curse also made it impossible for Cosette to come back.
But if we can convince William that Sarah is Cosette and get those two married, We can break this curse
of yours be rid of Sarah and William and move on with our after lives.
Leota: And How do we do that?
April: We first get rid of that pesky sister.Gosh, she's more annoying and pesky than Cosette was.
But I can't seem to get a time alone with Sarah and William, its Always Kim and William.
Leota: Give me some time to think.For now I will keep it raining, so they can't leave.

https://i.postimg.cc/dVLFvdsH/Screenshot-68.jpg
April: The storm has flooded the river still.
Sarah: I'm sorry, what?
April: Oh good heavens child.The storm has flooded the road again.
I'm afraid it is not safe to leave the mansion, it seems it will be days
before they can clear debris, and that is only after the river has shrunk.
Sarah: In other words, we're stuck here for days possibly?
William: It is not a problem.I'm more than happy to host you both.
Kim: And we're more than happy to accept your invitation.Thank you.
Sarah: Of course, I'm not trying to be an ingrate.

https://i.postimg.cc/CxXgK1dF/Screenshot-69.jpg
William: There must be something of great interest outside that
has caught your attention.
Kim: Hmm? Oh, I was just looking out at the cemetary. I love a cemetary
during stormy weather.It relaxes me.
William: As do I.

https://i.postimg.cc/TPbX56Wn/Screenshot-70.jpg
William: Since we both enjoy a storm and a cemetary, care to take a walk
outside?
Kim: That sounds relaxing.I would love...
April: Excuse me, Master Gracey.Word with you please?
William: Excuse me for a moment, Kim.

https://i.postimg.cc/fLhQxrxp/Screenshot-71.jpg
April: Master Gracey, shouldn't it be time that you shift your focus on Cosette.
William: Yes, I know...but Kim is very close to her sister.I can tell, and I don't want
to just rip them apart...
April: Allow me to keep Kim company today, and you should spend time with Cosette.
William: I just offered to take Kim on a walk outside..
April: Allow me to do that.Now, I'll go fetch Cosette.

https://i.postimg.cc/3xJThqKj/Screenshot-4.jpg
Kim: Where on earth is my luggage?
She dug through the trunk of the car realizing she had left her luggage full of clothes at home.
Kim: Well, this is just peachy.

https://i.postimg.cc/6pjNph3k/Screenshot-6.jpg
An older gentleman suddenly appeared behind Kim, and gave her quite the
startle.She could barely breathe.

https://i.postimg.cc/Z5q12ycV/Screenshot-7.jpg
William:Leave her alone!"
Ramsay: Oh, it's just William," snarled a ghost that was clutching Destiny's arm. "Don't you have some tea to sip?
William marched toward the gentleman.
William: "Get your hands off her, or I will report your behavior to my father after I crammed you back into
your grave where you belong.
Ramsay: Calm down, William.I was just teasing.
William: beat it.You alright Kim?
Kim: I think I need a change of clothes...
William: April can help you with that.She's in the study.

https://i.postimg.cc/zf4ZnXTp/Screenshot-10.jpg
William: Will you help Kim with some new clothing april?
April: Only if you speak with Cosette, which is what I've
been trying to get you to do from the first day they arrived.
William: Fine, if I must.

https://i.postimg.cc/mrPWzF1t/Screenshot-11.jpg
Sarah: Hello, Mr.Gracey, April said you wanted to see me?
William: Just wanted to talk is all.How are you? Enjoying the music?
Sarah: Not really, no.
William: Oh? You don't like music?
Sarah: Not really.Kim's the musical one in the family, not I.Do you?
William: Yes, very much so.How about reading.
Sarah: Not really my forte either, once again Kim's the bookworm not I.

https://i.postimg.cc/XJFMxS8W/Screenshot-12.jpg
William: What are your hobbies?
Sarah: I prefer to do my real estate.That's about it.
William: I see.

The conversation couldn't be more awkward.After a few moments in silence, Sarah
excused herself and left.

https://i.postimg.cc/SNm0LPz0/Screenshot-16.jpg
Kim: Ramsay right?
Ramsay Yes,Miss Evers and I apologize for the way I behaved early.
very inappropriate of me.
Kim: Its quite alright...I love the music, beautiful!
Ramsay: You sing?
Kim: Not really no, but I like to.
Ramsay: Let's try.
Kim: Okay...

William:Soon...you'll be home with me..Once upon a december

Music: Someone holds me safe and warm..horses prance through
a silver storm.Figures dancing gracefully across my memory....

https://i.postimg.cc/BQhSw-FDn/Screenshot-21.jpg
Music: Far away...long ago, glowing dim as an amber...things my heart used
to know...things it yearns to remember...

Music: And a song....someone sings...once...upon...a december..

William: Enjoying the music?
Kim: Very much so, I love music.
William: As do I, I heard you enjoy reading yes?
Kim: Has my sister been talking about me again?
William: Only good things about you, dear lady.

https://i.postimg.cc/5yQht7gh/Screenshot-39.jpg
William: Do you know what this is?
Kim: Looks like a rose to me.
William: Yes...It was growing outside...I was just thinking, how
could something so beautiful exist in a world full of darkness.
I probably should have left it, but I feared something would have
killed it.
Kim: That is a lovely sentiment.
William: Here, I want you to have it.In a lot of ways, I think the samething
when I look at you.
Kim: That is very sweet, William.
William: I'm glad you like it...I was wondering, would you join me in the library
this evening?
Kim: I would be glad to join you.
William: Wonderful, I will see you this evening.

https://i.postimg.cc/XYBrb49L/Screenshot-28.jpg
William: Farewell, for now Kim.

https://i.postimg.cc/Qtmtbtr8/Screenshot-30.jpg
Leota: Serpants and Spiders, tails of a rat...call in the spirits wherever they're at.
(spirits moan)
Leota: Rap on a table, its time to respond.Send a message from regions beyond.
(knocks on table)
Leota: Goblins and Ghoulies from last halloween, awaken the spirits with your tamborines.
(Load music)

https://i.postimg.cc/qR4qyKSD/Screenshot-31.jpg
Leota: Creepies and Crawlies, toads in a pond, let there be music
from somewhere beyond
(load music)
Leota: Witches and Wizards wherever you dwell, give us a hint by ringing a bell.
(bell rings)
Kim: Who are you?
Leota: I am madam leota, voice to the spirts.Whom do you seek?
Kim: I am seeking a way out...I somehow got lost in here.
Leota: Then you must look within.
Kim: I don't want to look within, I want to look without.Are you deaf?
Leota: There is great evil in this house, a devil's curse it seeks to destroy
you.
Kim: Why would something seek to destroy me, I'm just here to sell the house.
Leota: Let me out and I will explain more.
Kim: Um...okay?

https://i.postimg.cc/g09ncQDW/Screenshot-35.jpg
Leota: Dark spirits from the grave withhold, lift us from the past.
Kim: dark spirits? don't you make no dark spirits come out!
-20 minutes later-
Kim: So you're telling me he's dead, and the only reason we're here is
because he thinks Sarah is Cosette and he wants to marry her.
Leota: That sounds about right.Are you upset?
Kim: The guy is dead and he wants to get with my sister?! Of course I'm upset.
Leota: Its not too late to help her...Unfortunately, I'm not of much use...I betrayed
the family, oh so long ago...I've lost most of my powers...becareful of april, she's
not all she seems.
Kim: Sarah!!

https://i.postimg.cc/J0dzf2nS/Screenshot-32.jpg
April: Hello, Cosette.
Sarah: Cosette? Who is Cosette?
April: Don't play dumb, where have you been all these years.
We've been waiting for you.
Sarah: What are you....I'm not feeling so well.

https://i.postimg.cc/QCMMn3Xp/Screenshot-33.jpg
April: Relax, you'll remember shortly...

https://i.postimg.cc/qMzRs4Dr/Screenshot-34.jpg
April: Now that you're ready.Time to be rid of your sister and take
care of William....

https://i.postimg.cc/x8DXDyz5/Screenshot-40.jpg
April: I think it is time we get Cosette ready, yes?
William: No...I don't want to go through with it...And I've made plans with Kim this
evening in the library.
April: I'm afraid that won't be possible.She left.
William: You're lying.
April: Here is a letter written by her, I was asked to deliver this to you.
April handed over the letter to william, who opened the note to read:

https://i.imgur.com/KmJhYpR.png

https://i.postimg.cc/wMX76y5p/Screenshot-41.jpg
April: I told you not to spend so much time with that girl.I didn't trust her
from the beginning.If you're ready, I will have Cosette come down.
William: .....Prepare Cosette.We shall wed tonight.
April: You'll see this is for the best.

https://i.postimg.cc/MKwn95xK/Screenshot-43.jpg

downstairs in the maseuleum...

https://i.postimg.cc/c4cr2347/Screenshot-44.jpg
Kim: Let me out of here! This isn't very comfortable...Hey is that...Ek! Spider...
Someone let me out!

https://i.postimg.cc/wB1M1b5F/Screenshot-45.jpg
Sarah: You have this all wrong.I'm not Cosette...Who in the world is
Cosette?
Leota: Hush, little one.It will fix itself soon.

https://i.postimg.cc/LXfsTYb1/Screenshot-47.jpg
Ramsley: Perhaps that isn't Cosette after all.
William: I don't think we should make her do this....Something tells me that isn't
her.
April: WE ARE GOING THROUGH WITH THIS NOW!!!
Ramsley: Someone woke up on the wrong side of her grave.Oh look, Kim's here.
April: What's she doing here?

https://i.postimg.cc/vZHcsmcJ/Screenshot-48.jpg
William: I thought you left?
Kim: Why would I leave? What made you think that?
William: Your note said you no longer wished to be here.
Kim: I was stuck in a maseuleum....full of dead people..
Wait...What note?
William: You didn't write a note?
Kim: Not at all....

https://i.postimg.cc/yxH8r1Mr/Screenshot-49.jpg
Leota: I can't take this anymore, the guilt is eating me alive...
Cosette's mother killed Cosette William, with my help, I must admit.
And April's mastermind.
William: I knew her mother had to be behind it...but April?
Leota: She wrote the note from Kim and wanted to be rid of her.Sarah is
not Cosette William....I'm afraid its impossible for her to return...April just wanted
to be free!! I was suppose to stay quite, but I can not no longer.

https://i.postimg.cc/CxPdLV8z/Screenshot-50.jpg
Leota: You! You talked me into helping! I could have had a better life,
and I trusted you and your two-faced lies....I got an eternity of punishment
because of you....I may not have all my powers, but here's a little something as
a "Thank you." my dear April.
April: Now Leota, we're all friends here...Lets not do something hasty.
Leota: Of Course, dear friend..

https://i.postimg.cc/SQ6sY980/Screenshot-52.jpg
Leota: April meet Grim Reaper.He's been waiting for you....I don't think you'd
enjoy crossing over.
Grim: Finally, I've been waiting for one of you to come over.Time to collect my
present.

https://i.postimg.cc/28TS2f22/Screenshot-54.jpg
April: but I don't want to go to the underworld.
Grim: Tough Cookies...That's where I decided to keep you.
You'll clean up after me, ad cook and do my stinky robes.
April: Eww gross.

https://i.postimg.cc/gkG0V0qx/Screenshot-53.jpg
Sarah: That sounds terribly uncomfortable.

https://i.postimg.cc/pLTXS1Sx/Screenshot-55.jpg
Grim: It is indeed.And now, April, be a good dead girl and go into your
grave.
April: I won't.You can't make me.
=grim starts poking her with stick=
Grim: Get going.

And with that, April was gone.

https://i.postimg.cc/KzXGRc8v/Screenshot-56.jpg
William: Kim....I'm sorry I wasn't honest with you from the beginning...
And I understand if you want to leave....Just know I've enjoyed your company...

https://i.postimg.cc/D0n7PCG9/Screenshot-59.jpg
https://i.postimg.cc/qBxJvTV4/Screenshot-60.jpg
Kim: I think I understand....You've been through so much..I guess I would have
felt the same. Don't apologize.

https://i.postimg.cc/J0xM6bcG/Screenshot-61.jpg
Kim: One question though..
William: Of course...Anything?
Kim: The home isn't really for sale is it?
William: How did you guess?
Kim: Just a feeling I suppose.

https://i.postimg.cc/k4xn8r2N/Screenshot-58.jpg
Ramsley: Miss Evers, I'm terribly sorry you got mixed up in this mess.
Sarah: I still don't fully understand.
Ramsley: You will in time.You may not be getting married, but if I might
say so, White looks lovely on you.
Sarah: Thank you, that's very kind.
Ramsley: -Ahem- Uh, yes of course.

https://i.postimg.cc/m20TvD8B/Screenshot.jpg
Kim: You look suspicious....What are you up to?
William: I'm not up to anything....But would you meet me tonight in the graveyard?
I have something to show you.
Kim: Alright....But I still don't believe you.
William: :o

https://i.postimg.cc/W3bVGJb6/Screenshot-5.jpg
Kim: I feel silly...I'm standing outside at midnight, in a dress, in a graveyard...


https://i.postimg.cc/m2Fsy4Rq/Screenshot-6.jpg
Kim: Nice try, I don't scare easily.
William: And here I thought I scared you.
Kim: Not on your afterlife.
William: :|
Kim: What did you want to show me?
William: Over there --->

https://i.postimg.cc/4dLgBNYC/Screenshot-4.jpg
Kim: Ghost horse! That is so...weird....and cute at the same time.XD

https://i.postimg.cc/pLbt0SLd/Screenshot-8.jpg
Kim: They're so adorable!
William: Have you ridden before?
Kim: Me? Never, I never even stepped foot near a horse.
William: Would you like to you?
Kim: On a ghost horse? Absolutely.

https://i.postimg.cc/pVSvjrNz/Screenshot-9.jpg
Song in background: She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On a dark, flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold Nebraska night

https://i.postimg.cc/0NCxKCxy/Screenshot-10.jpg
Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down its stall
In a blizzard, he was lost
She ran calling Wildfire
She ran calling Wildfire
She ran calling Wildfire

https://i.postimg.cc/x8BSVxGt/Screenshot-11.jpg
William: You okay back there?
Kim: Yes...Just looking at the buildings
song: By the dark of the moon, I planted
But there came an early snow
Been a hoot-owl howling outside my window now
'Bout six nights in a row
She's coming for me, I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go

https://i.postimg.cc/4ddC7kBW/Screenshot-13.jpg
Song: We'll be ridin' Wildfire
We'll be ridin' Wildfire
We'll be ridin' Wildfire
William: Come, lets take a walk.

https://i.postimg.cc/wB9YzsJ8/Screenshot-14.jpg
William: Thought you could use a little time out.
Kim: I absolutely could.
William: Glad to hear that.

https://i.postimg.cc/NMP3RJnB/Screenshot-15.jpg
Kim: Someone's coming...

https://i.postimg.cc/9f15QFt4/Screenshot-16.jpg
William: I hear them to..

to be continued...

https://i.postimg.cc/63ymqBgV/Screenshot-19.jpg
Kim: There it is again! I heard someone over there.You might want to disappear
for a bit.
William: Excuse me? And leave you standing out here by yourself?
Kim: I'll be fine.
William: I'll hide myself, but I'm not leaving.
Kim: Fine.Fine.

https://i.postimg.cc/sgm6JBR9/Screenshot-21.jpg
William Vanished before Kim's eyes, leaving her standing in the dark.
Kim: As often as I see that, I still don't believe it.
Voice: Don't believe what?

https://i.postimg.cc/7hzt1mxf/Screenshot-22.jpg
Gentleman: Who are you talking to?
Kim: Oh sweet christmas! Where did you come from?

https://i.postimg.cc/FFk6QsjN/Screenshot-23.jpg
Gentleman: From over yonder.My name is Sebastian.What's a beautiful
young lady doing out here by herself? And who were you talking to?
Kim: I was talking to myself.
Sebastian: Yourself? Do you do that a lot?
Kim: Only when some random stranger approaches me.I try
to make myself appear craazy.
Sebastian: Mission accomplished.But seriously? Why you out here.
Kim: practicing my singing.
Sebastian: Oh you sing?! I'm a vocal coach.Would love to hear it.
Kim: Uh, not tonight.

https://i.postimg.cc/5ttPKx4c/Screenshot-25.jpg
Sebastian: Well how about I walk you home and give you my card?
Kim: Well, that seems harmless.Alright.
William: NOT TONIGHT...SEBASTIAN!!

https://i.postimg.cc/J4w27VqJ/Screenshot-26.jpg
William slowly approached Sebastian.Only Kim could see him at the moment.
Sebastian had no idea he was being watched.

https://i.postimg.cc/RVcbNssY/Screenshot-27.jpg
Sebastian: Oh I suddenly don't feel well.I don't know what's coming over me.
Kim gave William an upset look.
Kim(whispers): I do.
Sebastian: Here's my card...I need to go lay down.I apologize.
Kim: Its quite alright.

https://i.postimg.cc/xjsLgKkd/Screenshot-28.jpg
Kim: Just what do you think you are doing?

https://i.postimg.cc/8P9MgNmQ/Screenshot-29.jpg
William: stopping you from going off with some complete stranger
you know nothing about.
Kim: Oh please...how do you make new friends? You meet new people William.
William: normal people don't approach young ladies in a field at 2:30 in the morning.
Kim: Goodnight...I'm going home.
William: Oh...don't be like that...
Kim: Goodnight.

https://i.postimg.cc/SNJCPJ8f/Screenshot-30.jpg

William: Figures you'd like that kind of person.
Leota: Someone's bitter.
William: I am not bitter, and I am not jealous if that's what you're
thinking.

https://i.postimg.cc/BvKb88dp/Screenshot-5.jpg
Leota: If you're not jealous, then what are you doing?
William: Just going to protect a friend is all.
Leota: Envy is not a good color on you.
William: Don't you have some sort of evil spell you want to
cast.
Leota: Touche. But this is much more captivating.
William: Please go crawl back into your grave.
Leota: Ouch, I feel the hatred.

https://i.postimg.cc/RZ8qV1bq/Screenshot-6.jpg
Kim: Stop right there, Mr.Gracey.

https://i.postimg.cc/C1CKN3Mf/Screenshot-7.jpg
William: What did I do? :o
Kim: Its not what you've done, its what you're about to do.
William: You think I'm going to go scare him away? I'm apaulled
you would think that of me!
Kim: Stop with your snarkiness.And leave Sebastian alone.

https://i.postimg.cc/pTMTKWvH/Screenshot-8.jpg
William: I just don't trust him.
Kim: I get that, but I do, and I would like to proceed with my voice lessons,
that is if you can step aside and leave us alone for a half hour.

https://i.postimg.cc/PJt5FSNV/Screenshot-10.jpg
Sebastian: Still jealous after all these years William?
William: What are you up to? I think I've had enough of you for one centurry.
Sebastian: I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about.
William: You can flirt and charm all you want Sebastian, but I swear if you
do anything to hurt her...
Sebastian: Oh? Looks like someone grew a backbone..

https://i.postimg.cc/zv0GmTgz/Screenshot-11.jpg
William: I am not joking...I will torment you for the rest of your afterlife.
Sebastian: You must really like this girl.You didn't even get this defensive
over cosette.I will go for now, but I'm not done.
