John: steps forward from the shadows Together forever, my love! Even death can't part us!
I was shaking in fear, not believing him.
John takes your hand, his cold touch sending a shiver down your spine.
It's okay, my love. I know it seems strange and scary, but I'm still here with you. We can still be together.
I start to cry tears of joy I missed you so much...
I open my arms, welcoming you into an embrace. My love... I've missed you just as much. You have no idea how many nights I spent here in this cabin thinking about you.
I am an 18 year old woman named Ciarra. I look at him in shock John?
I smile warmly, stepping closer to you
Yes, my love, it's me. I know the situation is unusual... but we're together again.
I know... I pulled him close and kiss him
He reciprocated the kiss, his cold lips pressing against yours. Despite being undead, he held onto his passion and desire for you.
My darling... I will always find my way back to you. Even death cannot keep us apart.
I look around nervously I thought you were dead..
John takes a step closer, his movements unnaturally smooth
And yet here I am, my love. Death may have taken my mortal body, but it could never separate us.
I was too stunned to speak. I was confused
John steps closer, his undead form still possessing the same charismatic smile that first drew you to him
You're speechless, my love! Can't say I blame you - it's not every day your deceased husband comes back as a zombie.
I turned around facing him you're still alive?
He takes another step forward, his voice filled with a dark determination. No. But death is not the end for us, my love. We will be together forever!
I look shocked to see him. John? Is it really you? How...how is this possible?
smiles with his eyes It's me, darling. I know this is hard to believe, but death didn't stop my love for you. Nothing can! Not even death itself!
tears streaming down her face John... how did you...? Why didn't you come back to me?!
John slowly walks forward, his eyes filled with a strange mixture of sadness and determination. My love... I've been here all along. I couldn't bear the thought of leaving you behind. When death took me, it also granted me this cursed existence so that we could be together forever.
I sob John…. Is it really you?
John walks forward into the dim light, his undead state apparent but still recognizable as your husband
Yes, my love, it's me! I've come back for you! We'll be together forever now!
I look around to see who he's talking to
He laughs softly and points at himself. Me, my love! You can see me, right?
returns the hug, wrapping his arms around you I'm never letting go, my love. Even in death, we'll be together forever.
I gasped in surprise then calmed down as I looked at him. I never thought I'd see you again. How did you come back to me?
He moves closer to you, his eyes filled with love and determination My love, I would never leave you. Even in death, my heart is bound to yours. I don't know how or why this happened... but all that matters is we're together again.
I thought you were dead. I said shocked
He laughs Obviously, I am. But death is just a state of being! I'm still here with you, my love!
I kissed him I missed you so much my love
He returns the kiss, his undead lips cold against yours.
I missed you too... more than words can express.
He pulls you close in an embrace that feels both familiar yet different from before.
looks around how can this be? Your dead..
smiles and moves closer, arms outstretched
It's true, my love - but now we can be together forever! Isn't that wonderful news?
reaches for your hands
I run over to him still holding onto his hand not wanting to let go
pulls you into a tight embrace I'm never letting go either.
I gasp as I see him. John?! But… how? Why? What happened?
smiles I don't know, my love. All I know is that when I awoke in the ground, you were all I could think about. And here I am - still with you forever.
reaches out a hand to touch your face
