I felt something. My eyes were closed. But I fel it. I tried to open my eyes. But I could not do it. How was this possible? I tried to move. Nothing. I could do nothing. I tried to think. I couldn't remember what happened. Suddenly I somehow felt a way I could get out of here. I grasped my energy and came out of my body. What? Came out of my body? What was happening? And now….Now I could see everything.
I saw…myself. Or rather my body. My dead body. I realised I was dead.I gasped, but no one seemed to have heard me. And there were a lot of people. I tried to remember what happened. And I remembered my children, who were happened to be crying all around me. I felt guilty. How could I leave them? How could I break their hearts? What have I done?
And then I saw a girl beside Ahren. Camille. And i remembered everything. They got married. It was so hard to believe it, even though now i could see their rings. I bent down my head. And i heard a voice. It said my name. America. I turned to looks, because I couldn't believe he was here. But t was him.
''Dad?'' I missed him so much. And…i started crying. Somehow. Even though I was…I was..a ghost. He walked to me and hugged me. Oh how I missed him, so so much. ''I love you so much and I missed you.'' i said. He let go of me and cleaned my tears from my pale face.
''I missed you too, America. And I am very proud of you.'' He smiled. We both turned to look at the crowd around my corpse. ''They love you so much.''
I bent down my head. ''Loved me, you mean. Dad, I am dead, right?'' I turned to look him in the eyes, so my statement would be approved.
''You're right for one thing, Kitten. You are. But they love you. They still love you. You were such a wondeful queen and as long as you are in their hearts, they will love you.''
I knew people liked me. But when I was in the selection I couldn't have thought that I would be queen. And a queen like that. I looked at myself down below. I was pale, and my hair were beautifully done. And…it was so hard to leave them. And looking at Maxon was so painful. And Eadlyn, she was so strong. She will be an amazing queen. I wasn't mad at Ahren and I hoped they weren't too. After all, I was happy for him.
And then I thought of something. ''So what now?''
But my dad hadn't asnwered because someone entered the room, if I can say so. Queen Amberly was dead. So here she was. And she was smiling. And I understood it. She was proud of me.
''Thank you.'' The ghost of Amberly said.'' For everything you done.''
''For everything Maxon done.'' I said. He was the king. Of course, I've done things too, but still.
''No. You thought of removing the castes. It was your idea. And you were such a wonderful queen, America.''
''I'm sorry you died.'' And I was truly sorry that Amberly died. We would have been so happy together.
''What happened, happened. There is nothing to change. And Clarkson believes that in some ways you have done a great job as a queen. He just doesn't really like to meet you.''
My mouth fell. And then I smirked. Clarkson, the king Clakrson finally approved, not that I wanted it, but it was still satisfying.
And then I saw the girl, who I wanted to see for my whole life. I longed to see her. My friend.
''Celeste!'' I screeched and she ran to me and hugged me. Back in the early selection days if someone would have told me that i would hug Celeste Newsome I would think that's crazy.
Though it was so sad to leave my family, it was a pleasure to come back to my dad and Celeste.
Maybe it was home. I took my dad's and Celeste's hand and we walked to the unknown. Leaving the mourning.
I would meet Maxon someday again. And I knew there would be many years to wait.
But I could wait for him.
Even for a thousand years.
