forever to finish it but it'll be done in two days. I Promise! Okay, anyways,
on with the story.
Chapter 9- The Inheritance
The words were completely strange and yet very familiar somehow. That was even stranger because it was in some foreign language. I must have spaced out because the next thing I remembered we were at the hotel. I went in and sat on my bed with the script and my laptop to find out what it meant but as I starting to read over the words again I was in a trance. When I came around I felt very strange. I looked around and I was in a white room. There was a bright flash and a figure stepped out of the light. "Alyssa." The familiar voice called out.
"Mom?" Then I saw her for the first time in 10 years. "Mom, I've missed you so much." I said running into her arms. "Yes, Alyssa, I know. I've watched you grow up and I'm very proud of the young woman you've become." "Mom, I scared and alone. Carey's gone. It was all my fault. I let him die. I knew it was happening and I shrugged it off as a dream." "Most people do Ally, it wasn't your fault. It wasn't his time to leave and now only you have the power to bring him back." "Mom, what are you talking about?" At that moment my mother let go of me and walked over to a table against the wall and picked up a small locket. "I've been holding onto this until you were old enough to understand and now I think you know." "Mom? What? How? Why?" I stuttered as she placed the locket in my hand. "You'll know what to do. And remember I'm always with you. In here." She said as she pointed to my heart. Then she took me in her arms one more time. "Goodbye, my darling daughter." She slowly faded away.
My eyes flittered open and I found myself in the hotel room I was sharing with Annie. She was up and getting ready for the funeral. I looked around. "Was the whole meeting with my mother a dream?" I wondered to myself. Then I looked down to my hand and saw the locket in my hand. I opened the locket and there was a picture of my mother playing with me when I was a small child. I smiled and then reluctantly got up to get ready for the one event that was going to make this whole nightmare real. The funeral.
AT THE FUNERAL
One by the family went and said their last goodbyes to Carey. I was last. I walked up slowly and placed my single red rose in his hands and I softly spoke to him. "I'm sorry, Carey. I'm so sorry. It's all my fault that you're gone. I guess I'm paying for it now. I wish there was some way I could back in time and save you. I'll always love you Carey. I'm giving you this so you'll never forget me." As I said this I put the locket around his neck and kissed him one last time. Then there was another bright flash and everything stood still. Time was frozen.
