Another disclaimer-thingy –sigh- : If this is already you're idea, I say 'sorry!'
Look and you will see
Just a little oneshot about Leslie when she dies to when May Belle is crowned the new queen of Terabithia
Leslie woke up one morning, thinking she'd meet Jess in their made up world, 'Terabithia'. She quickly got dressed and ran to the woods. P.T. followed eagerly at her heels.
When Leslie got there, Jess was nowhere in sight.
"He's just probably off doing some chore or playing with that Barbie he got May Belle." Leslie muttered to herself, assuring that he was going to be there.
She grabbed at the rope, and swung herself over—or at least trying to. The rope split with a clean craaack! And she was left hurling down into the stream that had formed in the past few days.
When she hit the water and icy wave flew throughout her body and she felt her head hit a rock. Immediately it was all over.
Leslie saw white—no. It was lighter than white; but somehow, darker than black at the same time. Leslie felt excruciating pain in the back of her head and then she saw dark and the only thing she heard was the stream flowing through P.T.'s wails.
Leslie was dead.
The rope that had once felt so assuring, so comforting—it had killed her.
What would Jess say when he found out? She was sure that he would deny it and then blame himself. 'typical Jess,' she thought.
Then, she opened her eyes and what she saw shocked her. Leslie saw in front of her eyes, the REAL Terabithia, the animals talking, Giants slowly walking away from her in fear of her steel blade.
Then, what she saw in front of her was what shocked her most. She saw Jess walking around with another girl……………Miss Edmunds! So that was where he was! Jealousy crept over her in big waves, and then she thought better of it. Certainly, as much as Jess liked her, he couldn't—he wouldn't—love Miss Edmunds! That was just silly; she would be someone's girlfriend before Jess could say 'Terabithia'.
There seemed to have no boundaries of time, for Leslie saw the expression of disbelief and pain on Jess's face when Brenda said that she was dead.
Remember me with only happiness, Leslie screamed, or forget me totally!
Days passed in the peaceful land of Terabithia, with nothing disturbing their queen.
Jess was still there. Oh Jess! Leslie's day brightened at the sight of his face. He's always been that perfect king I'd wanted, Leslie thought.
OoOoOo
Jess was making a burial wreath for the fallen queen of Terabithia. But she wasn't dead; she was living in the real Terabithia.
OoOoOo
Leslie watched blinking back tears as Jess crowned the new queen of Terabithia, May Belle. Her face was pinky with delight.
Jess looked up somewhere by where Leslie was standing. I'm right here, she thought, just look, look and you will see. Look and you will find me! But Jess looked down and he didn't look back.
Leslie still was screaming, Look over here!! I'm right here! She slumped down on her knees, crying. Jess, just look here; I'm what you're looking for! I'm looking for you, just like you're looking for me! But Jess never did see her. And Leslie stayed there until Jess met her in Terabithia and they ruled for years to follow.
