EPILOGUE:

I was falling. I don't know what from or where to… all I knew is that I was being dragged down.

All I see around me is darkness. It scares me. I can't get away from it.

I can feel the darkness, it is a strange feeling, and I hate it.

I feel like I am being ripped apart, but at the same time it feels like I am being compacted into myself.

I have no sense of up or down. I am weightless… if it didn't hurt so much I might have been able to enjoy it.

I saw a light. It was a tiny pin prick or light in the darkness and all I wanted to do was to get to it.

A voice in my head told me not to look into the light… but I couldn't look anywhere else, it was almost hypnotic.

The light had grown to about the size of an eyeball in what seemed like hours of falling.

All I wanted to do was be out of this pain, surely my last goal would be to reach the light, and from there I would be relieved would I not?

All of a sudden the light grew. It kept growing and growing and growing, all the while the ripping sensation in my body intensified.

I tried to yell, but nothing came from my mouth.

I could see the light closer now. It looked like a picture, a portrait, of people standing, wearing strange dark clothing.

They looked very menacing.

I don't want to go into the light.

I don't want to face them. All I want is for this pain to go away.

Why won't it go away?

Suddenly everything began to twist and spin around me as the light drew nearer; the darkness became full of sickening colours and images. I could feel air rushing against my face, I knew it was a terrible feeling, but somehow it reminded me of something…

It reminded me of riding, a horse, yes! That's it, horse riding, that's what I was doing!

At least that is until I was shot.

I heard something… a voice

A woman's voice

It was beautiful and so familiar!

"I can't say goodbye to you…" I said, it sounded sad. I heard another voice, this one was male.

"…let's not say goodbye… I know I will see you again," It said. I know this voice! It is mine!

"I can't say goodbye to you, Richard,"

"…stay with me," she pleaded.

Richard?

That's when I stopped falling.

That's when the pain was eased.

That's when I could no longer sense anything.

Was I dead?

OK well this is officially it! I am both sad and happy :D Thank you all so much for following, favouriting and reviewing and simply reading this story, it makes me happy c: I LOVE YOU ALL! You give me the inspiration to write and write is what I shall do!

I am going to be writing a sequel to this story, I don't know when I will begin it or when I will upload it, as I am not 100% sure where I want to go with it (to be honest when I begun 'young hearts' I had almost no clue where I was going :L) but I do have ideas bouncing around in my head that need to be let out! So for all of you who are interested in the sequel (which I haven't thought of a name for yet :L) I will post something on this story to let you know when it's uploaded :)

Until then, bye c: and thank you!
