Hey Guys,
This is my first ever fanfic and its about how Ember died...so yeah, enjoy!
If you could value your life, what would it cost? Well with no family, no friends and only one possession to my name, I valued mine at about $1. In the end, that was scarily true.
My name is Ember. I was 23 when I died. In my short life time I was homeless, barely living day to day, surviving solely on my guitar and the money people through into my hat. But sometimes they missed, and that's how I died. A man, not much older than myself, stared into my eyes as he walked up to place the dollar in my hat. He was quite tall with light blonde hair that was neatly cropped, and well dressed. He looked wealthy, very wealthy. As I watched him approach, he had a malicious glint in his eye. When I looked past him I saw a group of people laughing
"They must be his friends" I thought "but why are they laughing?"
I looked around, I didn't see anything funny happening? I turned back to the man, he was almost upon me now. I looked up into his light blue eyes.
"Hello!" he said cheerily "what's your name!"
"Hi, I'm Ember..." a little worried by this persons cheeriness
"Ember! What an unusual name! Anyways your quite good at that guitar playing you know? I bet I could even get my dad to sign you onto a record label!"
"Really?" I couldn't believe this! Some stranger comes up to me and offers me a record deal! Maybe my life was finally looking up!
"No. Not really. Like I would offer that to some complete stranger, a hobo nonetheless. I'm much too good to waste my time and money on people like you. But here, have a dollar, buy a burger on the way home."
I opened my mouth to protest, to yell and scream until I made the man's ears bleed for what he'd just said to me when suddenly I couldn't breathe. I felt something lodged in my throat. I looked up at the man, my eyes begging for help, but all I saw on his face was shock. As I slowly died, I held onto my guitar. My one friend. People were screaming around me, I heard someone dial an ambulance. But it was too late, I knew it. I looked back at the man who caused this, his friends were coming up to drag him back to the side of the park, into the cover of the trees. My eyes never left his as he was pulled away. Then, everything went black as my heart stopped beating.
Thanx for reading. Reviews would be greatly appreciated...and i'll write more if anyone likes it (and if i figure out how to add chapters..) anyways..thanx again!
