Another new poem! Yay! Since only one or two of you reviewed telling me what random character point-of-view you wanted to see, I chose Hailey. She gives Rachel some information that may have positive and negative affects not only on Rachel's afterlife, but on the lives of her living loved ones as well. I hope you enjoy it. This poem is entitled 'Coping'.
One thing Hailey noticed about Rachel
Was that she wasn't coping with her death.
Most victims to murder
Were upset the first day,
And then moved on.
They pretended nothing happened,
And went about with their afterlives,
Waiting for the doors to heaven to open.
At least, that's how Hailey had reacted.
But Rachel was different;
She spent all of her time at the pool,
Watching the loved ones she left behind.
When Hailey asked her what she wanted,
Her answer was always the same:
To go back.
Of course, Hailey could never give her what she wanted,
And her gaze would always return to the pool.
Hailey guessed Rachel was different,
Because unlike her situation,
Rachel actually had people to watch over.
Hailey didn't have anyone after her mom died.
Maybe it was wrong of her to tell Rachel,
But watching her suffer everyday made Hailey upset, too.
So on the day that would have been New Year's Eve,
Hailey approached Rachel.
"You know, there is a way to break through." Hailey said.
Rachel turned around, frowning in confusion.
The image in the pool disappeared as Rachel's attention was drawn to Hailey.
"Break through what?" She asked softly.
"Break through the barrier between Earth and the Otherworld." Hailey answered,
Flipping her hair. Rachel's eyes sparked with interest;
It was the first spark Hailey had seen in her eyes.
"How?" Rachel asked simply.
"Harness enough energy. Imagine your back on Earth, and find the holes in the barrier."
Hailey paused. "If you harness enough energy, you won't appear in your First Form."
"First Form?" Rachel echoed, tipping her head to the side.
"The last form you were seen in before your spirit left Earth." Hailey explained.
"If you don't have enough energy, though, you'll appear in the last form you were in."
"I don't want Finn seeing me like that." Rachel panicked.
"You have limited time on Earth, anyways." Hailey said, rolling her eyes.
"Hold up your hand and pretend you're holding a ball." Hailey instructed.
Rachel did as followed, eyes growing round as a giant ball of light filled her palm.
Even Hailey was surprised.
Never before had such a new spirit been able to harness as much energy
As Rachel possessed.
"You're good to go." Hailey whispered. "You have enough energy."
"I won't go in my First Form?" Rachel checked. Hailey paused.
"Not at first." She glanced at Rachel's ball of energy.
"With that much, I'd say you can be there for at least ten Earth minutes
Without shifting to your First Form."
"Thank you, Hailey." Rachel whispered. "I'm going to break through tonight,
At Kurt's New Year's party."
"Good luck." Hailey said, smiling. She had never seen Rachel in such high spirits.
Maybe telling her had been wrong, in the sense of the law,
But it sure helped the girl learn to cope.
And that was a good thing.
Because there was no going back.
