My mind is wide open
Every one suffered with the passing of Leslie. But no one suffered more than Jess, even though he didn't show it. For he locked himself from the world countless times, secretly sobbing till he fell asleep. Some people started to get worried, Mrs. Edmunds notices that he isn't having fun like he used to, and May Belle sometimes stayed awake for a little while longer to listen to her brother's sobs. It slowly tore her apart as well, seeing as there's no way that she could bring back Leslie even with her new powers of being the princess.
Terabithia seemed gloomy, since their King barely comes to visit. Mostly, to keep Leslie's world alive her imagination alive, the words of her father almost made him think that he was Leslie's world. He would leave using the bridge, head down staring blankly at the planks of wood. When he was gone, May Belle would secretly sneak into Terabithia, to mend the creatures' hearts.
For days he thought he was going mad, for he started hearing voices. The voices were not of his own conscience, but it was Leslie's voice. It usually comes by whenever he thinks about her. Part of him is comforted by her voice, and the other part thinks that he's gone mental.
Her words flowed like a river,
"Jess! Close your eyes, but keep your mind wide open, thanks Jess, the Terabithians hear you, we rule Terabithia and nothing crushes us!" Jess woke up startled, he felt hot for he was sweating. The voices kept going on and on, and in his dreams memories flashes one by one.
Till one day, Jess had enough of it. The voices, the dreams, the pain everything! So he ran down the path towards Terabithia. Swung on the rope, and arrived at the tree house. He climbed it all the way to the top, feeling a sense of melancholy he called out to the world. "WHY! Why Les… I tried okay… but I'm starting to lose it for good… just please… please come back" A gust of wind blew against him for a slight moment, but nothing happened. With much of his feelings already out in the open, he climbed down only to be greeted by a strange creature.
For it was a creature of light, it was blocked to Jess' view because of the light imitating from its core. Jess had to use his hand to block part of the light from his eyes, "Hello my King, for I am a messenger a gift I will soon bring" It spoke in a soothing but calm voice.
"What gift? For who?" For he did not understand the messenger, it grew a safe distance from Jess to speak once more. "It is for you my King, the gift is for you, it will take you back, when you can renew" Jess couldn't see the creature, or any exit away from it. So he thought about it, Renew, Renew, after a while he accepts knowing what purpose it had supposedly implied.
The creature instructed Jess to run as fast as he can, to the river. So with a single nod, down Jess went but before he ran he took a deep breath. And ran towards the river as if his life depended on it, the voices began to surround him, the closer he got to the river the more things got weird. Now he say fragments of his memories with Leslie, but one stand out the most it was the last memory he saw. It was the memory of her shyly waving goodbye with P.T. licking his own nose. After that everything went dark.
