THE HALF-GHOST OF NOTRE DAME PROLOGUE

We start our story in Paris, during the afternoon all the citizens can hear the large bells ringing from the church known as Notre Dame. In the middle of the town, a yeti type of ghost that had robes with the colour of blue and one arm completely made of ice was performing a show using his ghostly ice to create images for his stories and performing right beside him was a ghost wearing a purple cloak, holding a time staff and with a scar on his right eye. Their names were Frostbite and Clockwork.

Frostbite

Morning in Paris the city awakes

To the bells of Notre Dame

The fisherman fishes, the baker man bakes

To the bells of Notre Dame

Clockwork

To the big bells as loud as the thunder

To the little bells soft as a psalm

And some say the soul of the cities

The toll of the bells

The bells of Notre Dame

A few children gathered around to watch the two ghost tell stories both funny and sad. At the end of their performance as they begin to pack up their carriage, the bells once again begin to chime telling all of Paris that it is now the middle of the day.

"Ah the bells are sounding beautiful as always, am I right Clockwork?" asked Frostbite with awe in his voice.

"Indeed you are my friend, however they don't ring by themselves" answered Clockwork while looking at Notre Dame.

"I know, who you suppose is the mysterious bell ringer?" asked Frostbite with a curious look on his face.

"I believe I might know who, allow me to tell you a story my good ghost" answered Clockwork as he sat down on the front of the carriage.

"A story?" asked Frostbite as he sat down beside his friend.

"Do you remember a ghost by the name of Jack Fenton?" asked Clockwork.

"Yes I do, he left Paris 14 years ago" answered Frostbite.

"That is correct. Well he fell in love with a female human named Madeline, they married and had a child together. It was then that they decided to return to Paris and come to the Court of Ghosts, however they never made it to their destination" Clockwork said sadly.

14 YEARS AGO

A man is rowing a boat along the river of Paris, inside the boat is two ghosts one of them a large wolf ghost wearing a worn out green prison uniform and the other a large human ghost wearing an orange jumpsuit, sitting beside him was a female human carrying a bundle in her arms.

Clockwork

Dark was the night when our tale was begun

On the docks near Notre Dame

The baby began to cry, Maddie then tried to calm her child down.

"It's okay little one, mummy's here. Oh Jack I'm scared" Maddie said as she rocked her baby back and forth.

"Don't worry Maddie, I'm right here beside you and remember if anything goes wrong I want you to run to Notre Dame and stay there for the night, then in the morning head straight for the Court of Ghosts. Clockwork will help you" Jack said as he held Maddie towards himself.

Clockwork

Three frightened ghosts slid silently under

The docks near Notre Dame

The man stopped the boat and tied it off. Maddie, Jack and Wulf climbed out of the boat and was about to leave until an ectoblast was fired near their feet. Guards surrounded them with guns pointed at them in close range. Then from out the shadows, wearing a black business suit and a hair tied in a ponytail.

Clockwork

But a trap had neem laid for the ghosts

And they gazed up in fear and alarm

At a figure whose clutches

Were iron as much as the bells

"Judge Vlad Masters!" Jack gasped as he recognised the man in front of him.

The bells of Notre Dame.

Vlad looked at them in disgust and anger, but then his face faltered when he recognised the woman huddling close to Jack.

"Maddie, is that you?" Vlad asked as he jumped off his hover board.

Maddie looked at him both with sadness and fear, for she too had recognised the man in front of him. She knew Vlad from a few years ago, he had tried everything in his power to marry her but she would always say no. Eventually she met Jack and married him, the couple then fled Paris to travel around from town to town.

"So it's true, you did marry a ghost. How disgusting!" Vlad exclaimed.

Jack was then pulled away from Maddie and handcuffed with spectral cuffs which were designed to diminish a ghost of their powers for capture. Maddie began to cry as Jack and Wulf were led away in chains, she quickly ran up at kissed Jack on the lips for she knew in her heart that she would probably never see him again.

Clockwork

Judge Vlad Masters longed

To purge the world

Of vice and sin

And he saw corruption

Everywhere

Except within

"Take those ghost scum to the palace of justice" ordered Vlad to the soldiers.

"You there, what are you hiding?" asked one of the soldiers as he grabbed Maddie before she could sneak away.

Vlad looked at the bundle in her arms and assumed that they were stolen goods, he then looked at her in disgust.

"So not only did you marry outside your own kind, but also turned to a life of thievery just like all ghost of this world. Take the bundle from her" ordered Vlad, but before the soldier could grab it Maddie kicked the guard in the shin and began to run away from the scene.

Vlad hopped on his hover board and began to pursue Maddie, he had managed to catch up with her for brief moment before she slipped through a tight alleyway towards Notre Dame. Maddie ran up to the church and began pounding on the door, praying that the archdeacon was still awake.

"Sanctuary! Please give us sanctuary!" yelled Maddie as she continued to bang on the door.

She turned around and saw that Vlad had finally caught up with her, she tried to make a break for it but Vlad had hovered in front of her blocking her path. She tried to run again, however Vlad had grabbed the bundle with Maddie trying to pull it back to her, without thinking Vlad grabbed his ecto-blaster and fired it at Maddie's chest; Maddie was blown back and her head hit the stairs and within seconds Maddie stopped breathing. Vlad then heard the sound of crying coming from the bundle he now held in his hands.

"A baby?" Vlad thought curiously as he pulled the bundle back and revealed to be a baby with black hair and blue eyes, suddenly there was a flash of light and a set of rings appeared around the boy. The rings then separated and trailed up the boy to reveal that his hair had changed to white and his eyes changed to green.

"A HALFA!" Vlad exclaimed as he put the bundle back around the baby's head.

Vlad then pulled out his ecto-blaster once more and prepared to fire it at the baby's head. Vlad believed that this child had been cursed and did not belong in this world, with his mind made up he slowly began to pull the trigger…

"STOP!" Cried the Archdeacon by the name of Edward Lancer, he then knelt down to pick up Maddie's body.

"This child is an abomination! I'm putting it out of its misery" Vlad said as he put his ecto-blaster down and walked towards Mr Lancer.

Mr Lancer

See there the innocent blood you have spilt

On the steps of Notre Dame

"I am guiltless. She ran, I pursued" Vlad said showing no emotion in his voice.

Mr Lancer

Now you would add this child's blood to your guilt

On the steps of Notre Dame

"My conscience is clear" Vlad said in annoyance.

Mr Lancer

You can lie to yourself and your minions

You can claim that you haven't a qualm

But you never can run

Nor hide what you've done from the eyes

The very eyes of Notre Dame

As Vlad looked at the church, he suddenly felt fear for he could swear that some of the statues were looking at him with cold stares.

Clockwork

And for one time in his life

Of power and control

Masters felt a twinge of fear

For his immortal soul

"What must I do?" Vlad asked with worry in his voice.

"Care for the child and raise him as your own" Mr Lancer said as he passed Maddie's body to a few of the priests to bury her. Vlad looked at the baby in disgust but then stopped.

"Very well, but let him live here in your church" Vlad said as he kept looking at the baby.

"Live here? Where?" asked Mr Lancer in confusion.

Vlad

Anywhere

Just so he's kept locked away

Where no one else can see

The bell tower perhaps

And who knows, our Lord works in mysterious ways

Even this foul creature may

Yet prove one day to be

Of use to me

PRESENT DAY

"So Masters gave the child a name, a name that means 'God Is My Judge', Daniel" said Clockwork as he once again looked at the bell tower.

Clockwork

Now here is a riddle to guess if you can

Sing the bells of Notre Dame

Frostbite

Who is the monster and who is the man?

Clockwork, Frostbite and Chorus

Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells

Bells, bells, bells, bells

Bells of Notre Dame
