I'd like to thank Crimson Fallen Angel for editing this for me.

Lynette's Perspective
A loud horn honked causing me too shifted my gaze in the direction of the sound out of curiosity to see where it had come from. To my surprise, there was a vehicle right by ours about to ram into our car! The distance may have only been a few inches or so! Blinding lights burned my eyes as my heart began to skip beats and my stomach dropped. The loud sound of two vehicles colliding filled my ears before I was aware of the impact. The glass on the passenger side, which I was sitting in, shattered sending shards in every direction. I felt every single bump on the road as well as glass sliced through my skin, and warm, wet liquid gushed out from fresh cut.
Screeching from sudden slamming on breaks sounded across the street. Our car spun off the road before coming to a sudden halt. The seatbelt tightened during the time of the stop and when my inertia tried to send me forward, the seatbelt stopped me, but I heard a sickening snap like when someone pops their joints, but much, much more defined. I felt a strong surge of pain in my neck that made me feel nauseous, but after that I felt nothing. It was as if my whole body had numb and I couldn't move. I couldn't even move my head to see if were pined down by a piece of the car, but I had a terrible feeling that something worse than this was coming...
The wreck, which could have only been a few seconds, felt like it was an endless ride onto the path to destruction.
For several minutes after the wreck, there was nothing but complete and utter silence, not even the crickets chirped around us.
I hoped that everyone in the wreck was ok. After all, it had been silent far too long and the silence around me filled me with terror. I feared the worst. Thankfully, after a few more minutes, I heard Mom move around, then scream from alarm. The next thing I knew I heard her door close and a back door open. After that, I listened to her speak on her phone in panic. All I heard was Mother's voice quivering and upset sounding voice shouting, "Help! I need help!" she cried, "I was in a car accident, one of my daughters isn't moving! She isn't moving!! Oh my gosh... The other is awake but she's covered in cuts!! O-ok..." Mom was on her cell phone. I didn't hear what was said on the other side of the line, but from mom's tone and expression, things weren't looking good.
"Are you ok, sweetie?" Mom asked me.
"Is… something wrong? Is sis ok?" I ask, my voice quite a bit softer than I thought it would be. If I was injured, which it seemed like sis and I were from the phone call, I felt nothing. I wasn't even warm or cold. I was frightened for my sister even more than myself though… Mom said she was unconscious, but sis wasn't the type to faint from shock, or surprise... She was always so strong. I hoped that she was ok…
"Do you feel any pain, any at all?" Mom asked, through my vision that was now blurring, I could see tears trickling down her face
."No… But is…is something wrong with… Sis…?" I asked, having difficulty getting my voice out, my vision fading, soon turning black. I couldn't hear mom's voice anymore, and I couldn't even see her face...
Not long after that, I entered a dream world. Sis was with me there, wherever we were, but there were no distinct features aside from the two of us. Not even a specific color. No ground, no trees or sky…It was bright, but not blinding and it felt very warm there… Not against my skin, but inside. It was as though my heart was filled with joy, peace and love. I didn't believe I'd ever felt that good.
In the dream, Sis and I were not the only ones there. There was a third person not visible there, but we heard his voice. His voice was that which sounded like a kind, elderly man who enjoyed joking around. For all I knew, he could have been the most serious person ever born, but judging was wrong, so I didn't think of him either way.
"You were not meant for that world," The voice surrounded us. It didn't seem to be in any specific are, it echoed, all around us.
What did he mean by 'not meant for that world?' Sis and I were born there and we had friends and family that loved us… Why wouldn't we belong on earth? It was such a nice place. The beauty of nature, but the sorrow of what it takes as well as what man kind had always taken did cancel that out... There was also cruelty, but to balance it, there was kindness. Earth had always been equal… It had its inequalities as well, but I couldn't help but love the world.
When the dream ended, my eyes flew open and I became conscious. My eyes burned from the light and clamped shut before I could see anything aside from the light. To my surprise, Whatever was beneath me as I laid down was soft and felt like grass. To my discomfort, the was also something under my leg I felt something like a rock… I couldn't have been outside after such an accident, could I? If I was, the air felt a lot easer to breathe.
What if it was all some realistic dream or something? But why would I be outside like this and without any cuts or injuries? There isn't any reason at all I could think of for being out here. What if I was dreaming even now? What if I wasn't? What if everything that had happened wasn't a dream and this is what happens after people die? If I had died, was I in heaven?
If Amelia was there, I had to find her and quick! Although I had hoped she didn't die, I had a feeling she was near. Plus, I wouldn't know what to do if I happened meet with someone I didn't know… I was never really able to speak to people I didn't know and she had no problem talking to strangers. Maybe Amelia would know what was going on as well. There as also the possibility that if she was here she'd need help in some way as well.
I finally opened my eyes again, but this time a lot slower to give my eyes time to adjust to the light. I was in a meadow of some sort. Trees surrounded me and animals danced in harmony: birds flying from tree to tree, squirrels gathered fallen acorns and butterflies fluttered around flowers gathering nectar. Was this place truly real? The plants and animals looked healthier, the air seemed cleaner, even the sky looked clearer!
But even with all the good I felt, I had no time to enjoy the scenery. I had to find Amelia, I had to find my sister.
