The start of something new
Annie's story
Chapter 1: Started with a BANG
It ended with a BANG and started with a door. A surge of courage pulsed through me when I told Alex Hal wasn't a living thing. As I looked down at the small bundle in my arms I knew it was the right thing to do. Mitchell's, George's and Nina's faces swam in my head all smiling as I grab the switch that would end it all. I remembered all their courage, Mitchell's last plea was courage. George's death was courage dyeing to save Eve. Nina's courage to carry Eve, not knowing what was growing inside of her, all their courage surged through me as I pushed to devil red button. I felt proud when I saw the smile wipe of his face, how dare he use a child as a weapon. Before I knew it I felt Eve being ripped from my arms, and flames dance before me. My door appeared before me, the same door that I'd battled against for 5 years, the door that appeared when all I wanted to do was stay with George, Mitchell, Nina then Eve. The same door appeared to be my salvation. I knew in my heart it was my time to enter the world beyond, and this time stay there. I called Eve's name in a panic the flames were dancing everywhere, I would not leave this world without Eve. From behind my door I heard her cry; with relief I rushed towards her and scooped her up into my arms. I heard a distant bang as the only way back to the world that I cherished for so many years, closed. I looked around my corridor was the same as the ones I'd visited before, I dunno what I was expecting, something a little nicer I guess. I did just save the world from the original vampire's. Now I think about it, I guess that was my unfinished business that I'd been looking for many years ago, and the opportunities I had were just red herrings, if I had gone through the door that appeared once I found out Owen had killed me, I would of never fallen truly in love and I wouldn't have had such amazing friends in George, Mitchell and Nina. Before my eyes, future Eve appeared, the smile on her face was so warm.
"You did it Annie, you saved the world"
"I'm sorry Eve; I didn't want it to happen like that"
"All that matters is the world that a grew up in never existed"
"I love you Eve"
"I love you to mum" as she said this, another door appeared. this one was white with a golden handle
"Go, their waiting for you"
"Come with me, I want them to meet you"
"I can't Annie. I never grow upm this me never existed, the only me so far is the one you're holding, who knows who I'll turn in to living here!"
I became worried then, what would a child turn into growing up in a world where people have lived and ended up here. As I thought this Eve started to turn into mist, future Eve was disappearing into a memory. All that I could see was her smile and she disappeared into thin air.
I turned and touch the door handle, "You ready Eve?" I took a deep breath and opened the door into a new life.
