Day 1

Jade wasn't sure how to react to this situation. She didn't know HOW it had happened. Yesterday, she was perfectly fine, frolicking with Beq and hunting with her grandpa.

But today, she woke up dead.

She didn't know it at first, until she tried to look at herself in the mirror and realized she was transparent. But after the shock had worn away, she realized that she really had no idea what to do. But there were more important things to worry about at that point anyway. For example, how was grandpa going to react? And what about poor Beq? She floated around her bathroom, puzzled as to what she should be doing. After thinking for a few minutes, she decided to check to see if grandpa had come into wake her up like he did every morning. As she hovered over to her room, she grew depressed as she realized she would never get to hear her grandpa's voice and his contagious laugh as he tried to wake her up. She eventually made her way into her room, seeing her dead body was kind of weird to her, so she tried not looking at it.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Jade swallowed.

I'm sorry grandpa. I'm so sorry I didn't say I love you before I died.

Her grandpa burst into the room with his bright, cheerful smile. Tears stung at the corner of Jade's eyes as she watched the scene unfold.

"Jade! It's time to get up! You're going to learn how to use a rifle today! Won't that be fun?"

No response. Her grandpa was puzzled.

"Wow, you've been begging to do this since you were about four years old, and suddenly you've decided to sleep in?" her grandpa asked, almost hurt by the situation, which made it even harder for Jade not to cry. However, her grandpa's bright smile re-appeared back on his face as he spoke again.

"Ah I see what you're doing! You're going to jump up and try to scare me, aren't you? Well I'll get you before you can get me!" her grandpa said as he lunged forward, laughing and shaking Jade's lifeless body. He was hoping she would giggle and wake up like she usually did. But there was still no response.

"Jade? Are you feeling okay?" he asked. At this point, Jade couldn't take it anymore. She floated down and hugged her grandpa as tears flowed down her ghastly cheeks.

I love you grandpa.

Jade had given him one last hug before flying out and wiping tears from her face. She didn't see him break down crying as he realized the horrible truth of what happened to his precious granddaughter. She didn't see Beq whimpering at the sight of her body. And she certainly didn't see her grandpa, with tears in his old eyes, burying his pride and joy in the meadows, which was her favorite spot to play. The funeral had been quiet, aside from the wind blowing the tall grass swiftly from side to side. Jade didn't know it, but this was actually the beginning of a violent storm. A storm that would soon have great relevance in her undead life.

Wandering around the different areas of the ocean was beginning to get tiring. She had unlimited access to everything now, and had no interest in finding anything. Instead, she had many questions racing through her mind that she wanted to find out soon.

What am I even still doing here? I still don't know how I died! And why haven't I moved on yet? Something isn't right. she thought as she floated over many more miles of the vast ocean.


Ugh, why aren't I capable of writing longer chapters? :/
