"Thank you Zack" said Zee as he arrived at his yard.

"Same, oh yeah don't forget tonight yeah, call me." Zack told Zee to wave his hand while pedaling his bike.

"Surprise...!!!" amelia's grandmother Blue and Joseph greet Zee with a confetti shot at Zee.

"Gosh, I forgot it's my birthday" Zee said.

"Happy birthday dear granddaughter." Amelia's grandmother hugged Zee. Joseph spread out his arms, Zee immediately scattered his body into Joseph's chest. "Happy birthday to Zee" Joseph said.

"Do you want me to hug Zee?" ask Blue

"Of course Blue, here hug me." Zee grabs Blue to hug her and flies Blue in circles. "It's Zee I'm dizzy." Blue protests and scatters a ball of feathers from her mouth.

"So this cake is for me, huh?" ask Zee

"Of course, oh yeah, this is a gift for you." Amelia's grandmother gave Zee a black box.

"What is this grandma?"

"Open up."

Zee opened the box and was surprised to be mixed and happy.

"This is right, the necklace that my mother used to wear was grim." said Zee held back her tears but could not, Zee misses both parents terribly.

"Your mother said, once you're seventeen you can wear it." Amelia's grandmother put the necklace around Zee's neck. A silver necklace with a green-eyed pendant coiled around her neck.

"I like Grandma I like her a lot" Zee said.

"This is a gift for you." Joseph handed the black paper bag to Zee's hand.

"Waaaah this is the latest hodie jacket right uncle, how did you get it?"

"That's easy." said Joseph arrogantly.

"Thank you uncle I like." Zee's eyes sparkled with happiness at the time.

"Where's your gift Blue?" ask Zee.

"Ummm tonight I'll reward him for your leveling ritual" Blue said.

"Hmmm I almost forgot about the ceremony tonight, can I afford ya grandma?" Zee looked at her grandmother.

"You have to be sure, since this is your destiny, it's time for Zee, after all you still have four lives, right?"

"Ah grandma still I don't want to waste it." said Zee.

"Alright, let's eat first." take Grandma Amelia.

Zee's phone rang that night Zack called her. "I'm sorry, Zack, I can't leave tonight" Zee said from her phone.

"Well then there's another day, I can still take you to watch?" ask Zack from there.

Zack closed his phone, but he was getting ready with a shirt and jeans and combing his hair with additional gel to make it neat. Zack laid his body back on his soft bed.

As Zee prepares to head for Halley Hill, where her grandmother will perform the ritual for Zee, Joseph accompanies Zee to the hill.

"What if I die uncle?" ask Zee.

"You can still live, take it easy."

"That means my life is reduced again, I'm not like you who live long." Zee bent his face.

"Have you ever heard of an immortal witch?"

"Not yet, what do you mean I can become an immortal witch?" zee asked enthusiastically.

"It's possible, ask your grandmother." Joseph grabbed Zee's shoulder.

"Thank you uncle, thank you for always being by my side" Zee said.

Grandma Amelia and Blue are waiting at Halley's hill. A silver cauldron was already on the fireplace. Grandma stuffed the roots of wildflowers, trillium and Chewing John on the silver cauldron. Blue took the baby king cobra and gave it to her grandmother.

"Zee you want a gift from me, right?"

"What's that?" ask Zee expectantly while looking to the right and to the left looking for his card box.

"Your gift is inside me."

"You mean Blue?" Zee doesn't understand what Blue is saying.

"This ritual wouldn't have worked without Zee's black cat bones." said Amelia's grandmother.

"Grandma mean, Blue will give me the bones?"

"This is the best gift I can give you, do it Joseph" Blue said.

Joseph approached Blue giving him a numbing injection on his right hand.

Crick... Joseph broke Blue's right hand. Tearing off his skin and taking one of his bones.

"Is Blue going to be okay, Uncle?" ask Zee worriedly.

"He'll be fine, your grandmother made a healing potion for him just that he'll be walking limping." said Joseph sewing Blue's wound after taking one bone from Blue.

Joseph handed the bone to Amelia's grandmother. The ritual began to puff green smoke from the picket out of the silver cauldron. Exactly at twelve o'clock the silent night only heard the sound of a creepy owl with the rustling of leaves blown by the wind.

Suddenly, Zee's face began to turn blue.

"Gee, look at Zee, the spider's venom" Joseph said, panicking that Zee was lying on the ground.

"Ah no, why should it be now." Grandma Amelia started to panic.

The thick green smoke had entered Zee's body making him convulsing - convulsing. His mouth let out a blue foam that continued to flow, Zee's eyes glared withstanding the pain.

"A. a. I. I. I can't afford pa.. man."
