are you sure self pity is a luxury you can afford, Jack?

// AUTHORS NOTE //
Welcome all. Or, well, welcome back.
Gosh, it's been forever.
I've missed you all and I hope you can forgive my lack of updates. This fic has gone through a HUGE revamp (no pun intended), and so all chapters have been rewritten, the plot line revised, my oc's roles altered, and my love for Evergreen and her story reignited. Be prepared for me to actually finish this fic, and be prepared for your brains to blown from the awesomeness.
If you're jumping from my other book & profile, the story continues on Chapter (to be published). You don't have to revote or reread chapters (though, if you'd like to I wouldn't stop you 😉).
Kidding, kidding, but, for the record, the writing has improved a lot, and it's been over a year since the last update on the other book, and the plot has been tweaked a bit, so I would recommend at least skimming over the contents of this one just to jog the memory. (Again, forever sorry about my lack of updates :(
SIDE NOTE, The only copies of this book are on this account and tobzka and not that it's happened, but just in case, if you see any other versions please report! I exceed my normal amount of applied effort when I write these fanfics, and Id hate for my effort to go to waste.
(I literally have exams rn and I'm writing this instead of studying, which I desperately need to. These exams determine my life. And it's 1:37A.M. I'm not kidding.)
I love you all. Don't forget; drink some water, get some sleep, and look after yourselves. Love you 🖤🖤🖤

// PLOT //
Evergreen Rose died when she was just seventeen years old.
It was not a kind death, for, due to circumstance, the world had never been forgiving to the young witch. Her death was cruel. Bloody. Painful. Her last breaths of air she struggled for and as she died she thought of nothing but her brother, whom she was leaving behind in the world full of monsters.
At least, that's what she thought was going to happen. Instead, she wakes up, the world encompassed in a hazy blue - as a ghost - unfeeling, and cold.
She wakes as ghost that breaks the very laws nature set for itself. A ghost that procures jealousy from a great many witches due to her vast, unexplored power, power that the Original Witch soon steals for her own gain. A ghost, with the ability to walk through the veil.
An immortal witch.
Though everything is still cold. Her body echoes her undead soul, and every thing has lost life. Colours are dull. Foods taste bland. Emotions are numb. The Other Side leaks into the real world, like blood from a gaping wound, and ghosts are hidden in every corner. Her soul is almost torn apart with the magic that struggles to keep her alive, and death, sooner than she realises, begins hunting her again.
Not even she will predict that the lost sheep from a broken family will be the one thing to make her feel most alive.
