Jess's POV

"Leslie? LESLIE?" I cried out as soon as my foot hit the Terabithian dirt. The dirt that I haven't touched in so many years. I felt the magic surge through me as I walked through the ancient forest Leslie and I used to play in.

"Leslie! LESLIE!" I cried out again.

"Jess…how nice of you to come visit me." A girl's voice rang out from within the forest.

"Leslie?" I asked hopefully.

A giggle. "Yes, stupid. It's me, Leslie. What, did you think your sister was lying?" asked Leslie.

"Umm, well…"

"Jess…you've lost your imagination."

"B-But I'm in College now." I replied.

"Yes, but everyone needs their imagination, including College boys." Leslie said.

"I-I know, but…Where are you?" I asked.

"Here!" Leslie said, and soon, a silvery, white wisp of smoke appears, slowly solidifying into my childhood friend.

"Leslie!" I cry and run up to hug her, crying. Unfortunately, my hands fly straight through her.

"Jess, I'm a spirit. A Terabithian spirit. When I went through the rope, the Dark Master cut it. Then, he placed a powerful dark curse on me, attempting to turn me into one of his servants. Unfortunately for him, my will to live was so strong, that the curse rebounded upon him, and killed him. I am, however, now a lonely spirit, wandering Terabithia for eternity.

A few years ago, a stumbled upon a book that had various counter-curses in it. I found the perfect counter-curse yesterday, but it will take 4 years to perform. When it is successful, I will become 24 years old, the same age as you in 3 years time. We will have a lot to catch up on!" Leslie said before she disappeared.

"Leslie!" I cried out into the forest. No response.

Leslie's POV

Finally, I have completed the counter-curse. But something is wrong. Something is really wrong. The book describes a calm, vibrating feeling. I'm feeling a noisy, shaky feeling that's not really peaceful. I close my eyes…

"Congratulations, you have a new daughter!"

"I don't want her, I'm putting her up for adoption…"

"Teenage Pregnancy."

What are they talking about? If only I could open my eyes…Ow! Someone slapped me. Against my brain's orders, I began to cry.

-------

The four years time is almost up, and I plan on visiting Terabithia again. ½ a year ago, I adopted a little girl that reminded me so much of Leslie. I had called her Leslie.

"Jess!" My mom cried as I walked into the house. "I'm a grandmother now!"

"Good afternoon, boy." Dad said.

"Hi! Where's Joyce Ann?" I asked.

"She's off on some date. Quite a hottie too!" Mom said.

"Cool." I said absentmindedly. "Well, I'll be off. I'll be back soon."

"Jess? Where are you going?" Mom asked. I had already run off.

I slowly walk across the bridge, but for some odd reason, I feel the baby vibrating. Babies are probably supposed to do that.

I place my foot on the Terabithian soil.

"Leslie! Leslie?" I cried out.

"Here." The voice was no longer god-like. In fact. The voice seemed to be coming from…the baby?

"Something went wrong with the counter-curse, Jess. I have now been reincarnated into a baby girl. I will grow up into what I looked like before, but will not remember any of the events unless I am in Terabithia. However, I'm glad that out of all people, you're the one raising me. Thank you, Jess." The baby said.

"Leslie?"

"Jess… take good care of me, please."

Well, that's the second chapter! Please review!!!
