Chapter Two: Nina's Death and Memories


Hello welcome to chapter two


(8:30 AM)Nina Gutman's alarm went off, she got up said good morning to her parents (because she was a 17-year-old teen) and had some breakfast and headed to the basement to work out for about an hour which she did every weekday, and it had paid off she was in good shape standing at 5'8'' with deep blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Today was gonna be a good today. 1 it was her second year anniversary with her girlfriend Jane Randy. 2 she had an interview at a big company that she had a good feeling about. (9:45) She didn't have to get ready until around 10:00 because her interview wasn't until 11:30 so she decided to look at some old photos in her computer she went to a specific folder of photos labeled 'Childhood photos with friends' Nina had always had taken pictures of happy moments you would think she was a photographer but she wasn't she was a 3d modeler and sculptor. Opening the folder she set the list to go from oldest to newest and it was her and the same boy and it was her best friend Jason Hetrom who she hadn't talked to or seen in two years she hoped he was doing great like her (Haa yea... no Jay's doing horribly Nina) Well she had to get ready for the job interview and after that head to the bank and get some money out of her account for her anniversary date.

(11:45)The interview was a success and now she just had to walk down to the bank because people at the ATMs were being robbed around town so she just wanted to be safe, then head home and do something until her date. The streets were not too busy today even though it's around noon. She spotted an older lady that needed help crossing the street she obviously helped her cross "Thank very much young lady that was so nice of you" "Oh there's no need to thank me, ma'am, it was the right thing to do!" they then went their separate ways. She finally got to the bank around 12:30 it was pretty empty but there was a small line to the teller after about 3 minutes a man in a blue suit came into the bank wearing a mask and had an assault rifle "GET ON THE GROUND AND DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID, I JUST WANT THE MONEY NOT YOUR LIFE'S!" (Today was not gonna be a good day) The man in the blue suit said "TELLER YOU HIT THE ALARM I WILL SHOOT THIS KID, NOW OPEN THE VAULT!" *BLAAAARR* Nina went into shock "DID THIS IDOT JUST PULL THE ALARM, I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" The world around her seemed to freeze for a second then she felt a sharp pain in her head after she felt almost weightless.

(Nina's P.O.V) I opened my eyes everything looked like it had a greyscale. "What the hell, what happened" I looked around seeing the man who threatened to shoot me had jumped in his car and left so I was gonna be ok. Why does the teller have such a shocked look on her face it looks like she just saw someone die, Wait did I die looking down OMG that's my body with a lot of blood coming out of my head and I am having an out of body experience and why am I not freaking the fuck out right now. "Hello, I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting" I quickly stand and turn to see a purple 'tower' of mist "And must have many questions so I will answer the most common ones I get. You have died and I am basically a 'Grim Reaper' to bring lesser souls to the after-life and sometimes reincarnate more powerful souls like yours. My name is not something you need to know. You died how you died. No, you can't go back and say goodbye to your friends and family. Now, do you have any other questions?" Wow that was a lot of info for 5 seconds "No not really I'm not one to ask too many questions" I said. "Ok then if you follow me I will bring you to my brother who is the one who handles reincarnation". I got up and followed not having another choice.


After walking to the purple mist the world disappeared and everything was blindingly white but I can see two figures in the distance well one figure and a tower of black mist as we got closer the black mist 'spoke' "good sister, you're here with the other soul for reincarnation but before that," he turned to me and the other figure "I must talk to my sister so you two have a conversation while we talk" that`s when I turned to face the figure and he turned to face me.

(3rd person P.O.V) Jay and Nina turned to face each other expecting to see someone they didn`t know but they both ended up speechless seeing their best friend, Jay was the first one to speak up "Umm ok this is weird we died at the same damn time which is already a miracle but for us both to have souls great enough to be reincarnated that's just ... I don't even know." Nina looked up and down Jay "Yea and you look like you got in shape after I moved." He noded "That's the only thing that was good about my life, my family fucking hated me and sabotaged my job interview's, in fact, my stepfather was the one who killed me, he didn't even have the guts to take me one on one, no he had to do a hit and run. Nor did he give me the luxury of dying instantly no, he hit me going about 40 launching me into a parked car breaking my spine and I bled to death." Nina didn't believe what she just heard, the nicest person she had met was killed by his own family without even any honer "Wow my death wasn't even that bad sure I was shot at point blank but I didn't feel any pain" "Yeah but don't beat yourself over it, I deserved it-" "NO You didn't Jay You are the most selfless person I have ever seen and you said in 8th grade that 'No one deserves death not even that most evil person' SO You stop beating yourself over it!"Nina yelled at Jay "Y- Your right I didn't it's just my way to deal with things and it's unhealthy, I'm sorry." He smiled a real smile not faked, That put a smirk on her face "There's the Jay I knew you need to smile more it looks great on you, you're other faces can be scary in more ways than one"

"Ok let's go get reincarnated and live life in a new way!" Nina said with a smile on her face that Jay thought was extremely pretty. "Hey, are you guys ready to send us?" Jay asked the black mist turned and responded " Yes I believe I am. please, both of you step in front of me, facing away." They walked over to the pillars of mist and stood in front of the black mist facing away waiting to be reborn " Before I send you two into the next life I will tell you a few things. You will go through your memories before you are reincarnated. You will have the same mother, being born twins. For about a few months you will not have control over your body for your body's instincts will be more powerful, so don't try to fight it." Jay and Nina felt like a cloud was developing around their heads and felt like they were falling.


(Jay's P.O.V) Whoa that was a feeling I don't want to feel again it was like I was falling very fast but there wasn't any wind slowing me down. Just get it out of your head Jay and the feeling will go away, wait, isn't this my house it looks different looks... newer. The thing that is catching my eye is the tv, is that "FunWorld: Gabe's Oddysee" that was the first game I played and wait, is that me as a 4-year-old and my dad it's nice seeing him even if this is a memory it's good just to see him. I look so happy to be near him, I guess that makes sense he wanted me to have a better life than him, he was always there for me and my mother hated it so she divorced him and of course won because everyone believes the woman of the relationship, she accused my father of abusing her and my sisters and teaching me very sexiest things to do to girls I came across. It pissed me off more than anything and she loved it every ounce of my hate had fueled her so I learned to ignore it, she hated that and I loved seeing her in anger, loved getting payback, It's true when they say 'Karma's a Bitch' because really it is. That's enough Jay, just be happy you can see your dad happy again!

What the... The scene changed, it looks like a school-no, my old elementary school what's this memory. I3t was where I met Nina, we were the best of friends she was the one person that understood me and helped me pick myself up but I don't know why she stuck around me, I never helped her, I owe her so much but looking at this makes me happy it was when my life was simple and not a hell hole and even when it was she was there and stood by me until she had to move out of state. That's when it was actually hell and that's when my positive outlook turned negative. I hope that we never get separated like that again it was awful.

(Nina's P.O.V) Ok, that was a feeling that doesn't seem natural, So this is one of my memories. Whoa, it's the first art class I had, this is a good one, oh my god it's when we did snowmen drawings. Another memory 9th-grade art class This is where we had to model something that inspired us. I did a video game console, not only did it inspire me but it also was a gift to my best friend as his birthday was coming up.

A memory from my old bedroom, it was the one when Jay and I stayed up for a gaming marathon it also was the last day we saw each other. I hope we can stay by each other in the next life we are best friends.
