Chapter 2

"Where am I? Why can't I move my arms and legs? Where's Sam? Why do I feel like I'm floating?" Kyrie opens her eyes, or last least she thinks she does. There is no change from one to the other. Everything is black around her. Suddenly she sees Sam floating way off, but then she blinks and Sam's gone again. Kyrie tries to yell out but no noise comes out. Suddenly she is overcome with a lethargic feeling, so closing her eyes she knows no more.

Sam, not far away from Kyrie, is going through the same thoughts and feelings. Wondering, just as Kyrie did, where her friend is, she tries to look for her, having the same turnout as Kyrie. Not being able to figure out where she is, what has happened, (much less what happened to her car??), she soon succumbs to the lethargy as well.

Blinding white light shatters the peace. Slight pain rattles through the body as numb limbs are given back feeling. Sam keeps her eyes closed for what seems like hours, but in reality is mere minutes. Finally she gets the nerve up to pry open an eyelid. The bright light makes her shut her eye again. A few minutes later, she is determined to find out where her friend is so she opens her eyes once again. This time the brightness is transformed into the bright blue sky overhead. The sun, so hot, the horizon shimmers with it's brilliance. Sam slowly lifts her head and looks around her. She soon spots Kyrie sitting up a few feet away rubbing her head.

It takes a few minutes to form words but Sam soon calls out to Kyrie, which makes her head jerk up and look toward Sam.

"Jeez, Sam, you scared me. It seems like forever since I heard anyone speak. Where are we? Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, just a little sore is all. I have no idea where we are, but it's a beautiful place."

"Yeah, I'll give you that."

Both friends finally manage to get to their feet and walk over to each other. They then proceed to take in their surroundings. Birds chirping. Wind making the trees whisper. the sound of a far-off waterfall. Then they really take a look at each other, accessing the damage done to one another.
