Second Chance

Chapter 1: Remembering

I don't remember much. I remember my friends. Vash, Meryl and Millie.  Millie I remember her well. I remember the church were I spoke my last words. I remember being surrounded by darkness. I remember dying. After that I remembered no more.

So when I woke to see a smiling face above me it was quite a shock.  It was a pretty face, almost angelic. Maybe I had ended up in heaven. I always though my sins where to great to come here. I saw the angelic women's mouth move.

"I see you are finally awake." She smiled at me again. I noticed that she seemed to have a glow about her. Her voice was gentle as was her touch as she helped me up. I felt no pain. I remember the pain from the wounds I had received, but I felt no pain now. I must be dead.

"I'm dead?" I asked her. She simply smiled and nodded her head yes. Looking around I could see nothing everything appeared to be just white. We were surrounded by nothing but white. Then she caught my attention again.

"You should not be here."

I was stunned. I guess I wasn't supposed to go to heaven after all. Maybe she was going to send me away. I didn't want to go, it was peaceful here.

I didn't know what to say so I just looked at her hoping for some answer to my unspoken question. Her smiled faltered a bit before she explained.

"It wasn't your time yet. You died too early." She smiled at my stunned expression. "You are also being given a second chance."

A second chance. Was I going back? I admit I wasn't ready to die when I did, going back would be great.

"We are sending you back." Her smiled again left her face as she suddenly became serious. "Most do not get a second chance, you should be grateful. But know this you must make the most of this chance, you will not be given another chance. So live your life well."

All I could mange was a nod of my head. I was too shocked to do anything else. I was going back. I was going to see my friends again. I was going to see her again. My heart was filled with great joy.

"It is time, you must leave now. I do not know how much time has passed on your world sorry to say. "

I wanted to say thanks you. I wanted to tell her that I will make the most of my second chance. But all I could mutter was. "What is your name?"

"My name is of no importance. Besides I have been here so long that I do not remember it. Names are not important here."

She slowly made her way towards me. The glow around her slowly growing brighter. Her Simple white gown flowing behind her. She leaned forward and planted a small kiss on my cheek.

Suddenly the light became very bright. I closed my eyes. I could feel myself falling, but I wasn't scared. I was falling slowly. It was peaceful.

I could feel myself slowly falling into a gentle sleep. The last thing I remember before I lost myself to sleep were her last words to me.

"Live it well, Nicholas D. Wolfwood. Live it well."
