ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN 4: THE NEXT GENERATION
Chapter 1
My name is Sevanna Rori Natasha Barkin. Or Sevanna R.N. Barkin for short. I look like both my parents, but my mom mainly. I have the shape of my mom, an Irish Setter. I have long hair like my mom's, but it's curly and has darker streaks. It's normally put up in a ponytail in the back with a pink bow. I also have green eyes like my mom as well as my dad's dimples and spot along his back. I live with my aunt Stacy and uncle Harvey in Los Angeles, next to my grandma's house. My mom died in child birth, having my baby brother two years ago and my dad died in a car crash that night. To me, it seemed coincedental, but I didn't want to give much thought as to why he died the same night. But strange things happen to me though. I have these visions about my parents. I don't know whether to believe they happened or not, but they seemed to be past events. I would love answers... and a good life.
2018.
I was in my room with the door shut. Everything electrical was turned off and my curtains were up so that the sun could shine in. Whenever the sun shined in my room, it would be a pretty sunset orange color. It was quiet for me. I lie in my room on my belly, wearing a black shirt with grey thorns and purple roses on it, a black cloth skirt and topaz ear rings. It was my favorite type of ear rings as well as my mom's. I looked at my mom and dad's picture and tears began to run down my cheeks. I flipped it over and the words 'Charlie Barkin & Sasha LaFleur-Barkin, 1998' written in black cursive ink. I got up, went over to my vanity and put the picture on an empty clip. A lot of pictures of my family were on the vanity. My big brother, DJ; his wife, Babygirl; my baby brother and a bunch of others. But there were more of my parents than anything else. I went over to a movie shelf and pulled a clear plastic VHS case off the shelf and opened it up to see the label. It read: 'Sevanna's Second Christmas' in capital black ink. I turned the TV on, then put the tape in the VCR and turned it on. I lie back on my bed and watched it.
(On the tape.)
"What's that, Sevanna?" asked Sasha, after Sevanna had unwrapped a present.
"A princess dress!" said Sevanna, happily. "Can I put it on?"
"You don't wanna open your other presents?" asked Charlie.
"There's more!" Sevanna asked happily.
"Yeah!" said Charlie in a playful tone.
"Give me more!" Sevanna said, excitedly.
Sevanna's P.O.V.
In the present, there was a knock on my door. I turned the TV and VCR off.
"Come in!" I said in a sad voice.
It was aunt Stacy.
"Sevanna, I'm sorry." said Stacy. "I know what it's like." she said, rubbing my back as she hugged me.
"It's not fair." I cried. "Why did something like that happen?"
"I know it hurts." said Stacy. "Sometimes things happen and we can't explain it or predict it."
"Why does this have to happen to me? And them?" I asked.
"Imagine losing your sister." said Stacy and let go of me. "You know, you remind me of her. You're very pretty like she was and you get your personality from her."
"Aunt Stacy, I think I'm going to try to get some sleep now, okay?" I said.
"Okay." said Stacy. "When you're ready, why don't you come and have dinner?"
"Alright." I said.
"I hope you start to feel better." said Stacy, holding the door open. "I hate to see you tore up like this."
"Okay." I said.
Stacy shut the door and went into the kitchen while I closed the curtains, lie down on my bed and fell asleep.
