Summary: reader and Isaac know each other from meeting in the library. She’s a normie who study’s music, and she dies in a car crash, and Isaac wants to bring her back with his new invention he worked on.
Warning: mention of death, car crash
He met you for the first time in the local library of Jericho, you had a part-time job there and were a student at the university in the mornings, studying music, and you wanted to become a pianist and make your own music.
Isaac saw you almost every day, he could remember the first time he came to the library because the book he needed for a science paper wasn't available in the Nevermore library, he asked you about it, and you helped him find it.
Isaac told you that he was an Outcast student at Nevermore Academy, and you told him that you were a normie studying art. From that day on, he visited you more often in the library, showing you his sketches for his science, and you were totally fascinated by them. He was currently working on an invention that was supposed to bring the dead back to life. At first, you found it a bit strange and thot it was impossible, but you had heard that all of Isaac's inventions worked.
Today was a rainy day as you both sat together in the library again, and you watched him as he continued to draw on his machine; to you, it looked complicated.
"And how do you plan to put all this together?" "Looks difficult?" you asked.
Isaac just laughed, "For you, it looks difficult, but for me, it's a piece of cake, I've built more complicated things."
The smell of old books surrounded you, and the rain pattered softly against the library window.
"Well, if you say so." you reply.
Isaac continued sketching, and you put a few of the returned books back on the shelves where they belong.
"Isaac, don't you think it's unethical to build this machine?" you asked while putting the books back on the shelves.
Isaac looked at you seriously, his eyes shining with his obsession for his inventions.
"For you, it might be unethical, but for me, it's an opportunity, the chance to bring things back, starting with animals and maybe even humans later. Just think about what a huge advancement this could be for humanity, the families who lost their children or their parents, they could be happy again, do you understand, Y/n?" he said.
You stopped your work and put the book back.
"You are right, Isaac, I can now understand why you do it." you replied seriously.
"I knew you would understand, you're smart Y/n, even tho you don't have extraordinary powers like us outcasts." he said, looking at you with his brown eyes.
You glanced at the clock and saw that it was already just before the library closed.
"Isaac, I have to start tidying up." "It's almost closing time, you know I still have to check and put everything away." you said.
"Wait, let me help you, it will go faster with me." he said, standing up to use his telekinesis and putting the left-behind books from visitors onto the shelves, and closing the windows with a flick of his finger.
You watch Isaac, impressed.
"Wow, that's awesome." you say.
"Thanks, I just wanted to take a bit of work off your hands." he said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you very much, Isaac, I have to go now, see you on Friday at the café, okay?" you said.
You had a date with Isaac.
"Yeah, I'll be there, don't worry.” he said and winked at you.
You nodded and left, Isaac watched you for a moment longer than necessary. For the first time, he felt a connection to someone and not just to his inventions.
The days passed quite quickly, and before he knew it, it was Friday. As agreed, he came to the Weathervane Café in Jericho; it smelled of coffee and pastries and was cozy. Isaac was wearing a simple black shirt and black pants, his brown curls neatly combed, and he had brought a bouquet of flowers.
From a distance, he saw you waiting, you were wearing a beautiful black dress, your hair was down, and you were wearing a pearl necklace.
"Good day, Y/n, you look great," he said, holding out the flowers to you.
You were flattered and accepted them. it was a bouquet of black callas.
"You said you like special flowers, so I thot you would like these," said Isaac.
"Yes, you're right, these look very special, I will definitely dry them," you reply with a smile.
Isaac liked the smile on your lips.
"That was the least I could do for you," he said with a slight smile on his lips.
After that, you both ordered your food, you took cheesecake and a cappuccino, and he took a raspberry cake with an espresso. The date went perfectly, and you talked about all sorts of things. He told you that his machine was almost finished being built, and you mentioned that you would soon have your first first piano performance you had, where Isaac would naturally come. It was getting dark and it was just before closing time.
Isaac and you took your jackets and he paid, outside it was raining, and you could hear the patter of the rain on the street. You didn't want Isaac to take the bus and offered to drive him back to Nevermore, and after several minutes of persuasion, he finally agreed and got into the car.
The ride was smooth, occasionally interrupted only by the sound of the radio music, and the trees of the Jericho forests passed by you. Isaac watched you from the side, like one of his projects.
"Today was really nice y/n, we can do this again," he said.
"Thanks, and yes, we can, next time you just show me a nice place where we can go, okay?" you replied, looking at the road.
"Yes, I will." Isaac said.
But he didn't know that there wouldn't be a next time. Not yet.
After 5 minutes, you already spotted the old, rusty gate covered in ivy of Nevermore Academy.
"Wow, pretty creepy at night, huh?" you said, to which Isaac just nodded.
The actual grounds were even more enormous as you drove along the path.
"Okay, stop, please." said Isaac, whereupon you stopped your car.
He got out and walked to the driver's side, you opened the door and got out as well.
Without hesitation, Isaac kissed you, and you reciprocated. His lips were soft and warm against yours, and you loved every second and minute that passed. After several minutes, the kiss ended, and he leaned back from you.
"Until next time, Y/n, take care of yourself, okay?" he said, looking into your eyes with his brown ones.
You were still a bit perplexed by the kiss, but you quickly responded.
"Yes, I will, thank you for the flowers and the date today," you said with a smile and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Isaac was surprised but said nothing about it, just a "see you next time," and slowly walked to the main building, while you got back into the car and turned around. It was raining even more now, and you had slight problems driving. You had it under control, but the roads were slippery like oil on a tiled floor.
You drove on, listening to the music on the radio, you drove a bit faster but still had control, and you thot about Isaac, the date, the kiss, just everything, you were distracted and missed a car in front of you, on a steep and slippery curve, you swerved at the last second, but in all the excitement, you missed an oncoming car again, and before you could realize it, you crashed head-on into the oncoming vehicle, your car flipped several times, and fell thru a broken guardrail into the depths.
You were dead on the spot; nothing could be done for you.
The rescue teams arrived within 10 minutes, but it was futile; you were dead, the injuries were too severe. Your blood clung to the flowers you had received from Isaac just a few hours earlier.
The rescue workers recovered your body, and everything was documented by the police; your car was just a wreck.
The undertaker came and took your body to prepare it for the police and the later funeral.
The road remained closed for several hours.
Meanwhile, Isaac didn't know yet that you were dead. When he went to bed.
It was only the next day that he learned about the fatal accident of a person on the road to the Academy. He saw the newspaper and couldn't believe it, it couldn't be true, but the car looked like your car, the same one he had been in the nite before.
His panic rose, he didn't want to believe it, and he decided to drive to the city to the morgue to see if it was indeed a mistake.
During the drive, he passed the accident site it looked terrible, and he couldn't imagine how painful it must have been.
He reached the undertaker and sneaked through the main building into the morgue.
In the hall, it was cold, and you could smell and feel death. He took a look at the latest arrivals, and couldn't believe it, your name was on the list. Isaac couldn't believe it. He was like petrified, he had spent the hours before with you, and now you were dead, it was all his fault, if only he had taken the bus, none of this would have happened.
Isaac, who never cried, had tears streaming down his cheeks. He only thot about how you had kissed him before you died.
He unfastened the zipper of the body bag and saw your face, bloody and barely recognizable; he couldn't bear the sight of you, so he closed the bag again and had to disappear. It was simply too much for him.
He barricaded himself in his room and cried.
Gomez and Morticia had also had read about the accident in the newspaper, but they didn't initially know that it was his good normie friend who had died.
Even when Gomez was able to unlock his bedroom door, Isaac didn't speak.
So it went on for weeks, he was full of sorrow, and came to your funeral, and often visited your grave, brought you flowers. And spoke with you.
"I'm sorry." "I'm so very sorry," he said over and over again, crying.
He avoided the library since your death, and also the weathervane. He didn't want to be reminded of it, and started to throw himself back into his work he couldn't live without you, and decided to finish building his machine that was supposed to bring the dead back. He wanted to bring you back to life. And he would succeed, no matter the cost.
After he had finished building it, all that was left was the body, so he went to the cemetery at night and dug up your body, or what was left of it, with his telekinesis. Through the secret passages, he was able to bring you to the Iago Tower without anyone seeing him. What he did was not only illegal but also ethically immoral.
He carefully laid you on the metal table and began to piece you back together, the accident had left deep scars. He worked on you for several days, painted your nails, gave you some new hair, and clean clothes.
Now he just had to activate his machine.
The day had come, and he placed you under the machine.
Isaac put on his safety goggles and flipped the switch, electric energy and voltage surged, and it smelled like ozone. It didn't take long for the machine's emitter to activate, and the radiation was aimed at you. He observed everything closely, and after a few minutes, the machine was ready, now he just had to wait and hope it had worked.
Isaac took off his goggles, deactivated his machine, and walked over to you.
"Come back to me, please." he said, lightly stroking your cheeks.
Your eyes remained closed, and with each passing minute, Isaac lost hope, perhaps he had miscalculated or done something wrong.
He was just about to turn away when you opened your eyes and gasped for air.
Isaac was astonished his experiment had been successful, and you were back.
