My first memory is not a pretty one. I was young, five or six at most. My sister, Hylla and I were at sea, peacefully sailing, though where to I did not know. I remember playing in the water; leaning over the side of the ship, my little hands splashing water onto the deck, I had no idea what really was happening.
Suddenly, Hylla gasped. I looked up and for a second I saw a warship heading full steam towards our ship before Hylla pulled me away from the side and down below the deck.
I remember hearing the clashing of swords and screams of pain as the warship smashed into us. I remember feeling the whole ship shake as bombs hit their target, the scent of smoke burning my nose. I remember seeing my sister's hands quivering as she tied the straps to an orange vest that was securely wrapped around my body.
I think Hylla told me to close my eyes as she led me to the lifeboats, but I can't be sure because when I saw the bloody bodies strewn across the deck and the smoke curling up from fires from the bombs destroying my ship, I must have fainted. I don't remember anything else, just blackness.
When I opened my eyes, I thought I had died. Yep, died and gone to heaven. Palm trees swaying, the wind blowing through my dark hair, green grass tickling my skin as I rolled over to look at my sister, I remember thinking, Heaven is beautiful.
"Shh," Hylla whispered, "Sleep now Reyna, you're safe."
