Chapter 1: The Storm

Chapter Text

1818:

Victor Frankenstein dragged the heavy sled across the ice behind him as he was following his creation that he wished he never made, never created, never built, and never had any thoughts or ideas about. For Victor had created a monster.

Victor could just make out the movements of his monster as he kept on walking through the snow, sleet, ice and wild winds.

Victor saw a lighting flash and the creature was gone, out of sight and for once out of Victor's mind.

London, 2014:

Jessie James opened the door of her lemon yellow Bedroom and fell straight onto her bed. She buried her face into her pillow. Today was one of the worst days of her life and she didn't want to relive a moment of it ever again.

Jessie took her face from her pillow and watched as the sky turned from sky blue to sunset orange to dark black with white gleaming shining stars.

Jessie's eyes were beginning to drop from tiredness, when suddenly she saw a flash of lighting. She kept her eyes open just in case there was another one but there wasn't. Her eyes then turned to the bushes that were rustling.

Jessie got up and grabbed her torch and went to investigate.

She walked outside in the cool night air. She held out the torch so she could see where she was walking. Jessie walked up to the bush that she saw was rustling. She held her torch in front of her to try to see if something was there.

She couldn't see anything and decided that it was her imagination playing some wild tricks on her. Jessie stood up and was about to walk away when she felt a hand grab her foot.

She was about to scream but the hand let go and a man came out. She saw that he wore clothes that were a mouldy brown with tares and he had scars all over the parts of the body that were visible to her. The man looked up at her; Jessie saw that he had nothing on his feet.

"Please do not fear me, for I am a man even if I do not look it." The man bowed.

Jessie saw that he had no hair but a scar running down his back. The man stood up straight. "Would you mind telling me who you are and where I am?" He asked.

"My name is Jessie James but you may call me Jess and you're in my Garden, in London, in 2014." She answered.
