A small wind catches me in its grasp, and I start to follow it as it brings me deeper and deeper into the light. My eyes are closed, my mouth is shut, and my hands are glued to my side.

Don't go.

I feel it itching against my skin, as if it's a bug living deep within my bones, and I can't seem to scratch it out. But I continue to follow it, every step seeming as if it's lasting a life time, and I try to find my way around.

Please, don't go.

I can't open my eyes, but I seem to be able to trust the wind to lead me around, as if it's an old friend coming back to greet me. I can see through my eyelids that a light is coming closer to me, growing brighter and brighter in every step, but…what is it?

You said you wouldn't leave, you said…

The wind brushes against my feet, as if lifting me up from the ground, and my breathing starts to dim down, as if I'm under water in a vast ocean. I know I'm better then this, I know I deserve better, but I start to realize my sins, like everyone else in my village, and the threat across our land becomes distinct in my mind.

You promised.

Sin, the threat that has lived among us for many years, is coming back…I can feel it. The wind starts to thrust harder, as if trying to wash away the though of Sin…but it can't.

Why are you doing this?

I know I'm stronger then the wind, stronger then the light ahead of me…but am I really? Am I really capable enough to see what is happening to me? To see that maybe, just maybe, this light in front of me is the symbol of Sin?

You're better then this…don't go.

I try to stop the wind from pushing me closer, but I can't stop it. I know physically that the wind pushing me might be stronger…but mentally…I try to open my eyes, I try to breathe through my lips, I try to feel what's around me, but it's all closed in together. I don't even feel like myself anymore.

Why?

And then, as if it were him calling down to me, I feel the power of my friends and family come into my soul, and my mind takes over my body, the strongest thing in my life, and I feel myself thrust out to stop the wind. It's trying to win over me, but it can't. I feel more powerful then I have in my entire life, and for a few seconds it tries to push my closer to the light…but it can't.

Why? Tell me why?

I gave it a small tug, a wide smirk across my face, and I plant myself in the ground so the wind can't bring me any further. I can sense the light right there beside me, but it can't grasp me in its reach. I'm too strong for it…I know I am. And with a few steps backward, and a reach from behind, I feel someone tug on my shoulder and I'm being brought back into reality.

I loved you…

Next chapter she comes back to reality and she meets up with her friends. This is when the real adventure begins. More explaining in the next chapter. I'll only post it up if I get a review telling me to Ja ne.
