Time passed and soon, three years was up. By now, Taiya knew
everything about the tamers, and their families. She was presently 13, like all
the other tamers (excluding Ryo, because he was 9 months older than
everyone else), and had learned more than most people learn in their lives.
Presently, her uncle was taking her back to her home, to be treated
there. Taiya was put on a wheelchair, and rolled all the way outside. Right
before her uncle opened the door, it started to rain quite heavily. But because
he had no umbrella, he continued on his way.
Once the rain touched Taiya's face, a new image appeared in front of
her. She saw that she was in a hallway leading to three doors, and the angel
who saved her.
" Who are you, where am I, and what are you doing here?" she screamed at
him.
"I thought you knew who I was, I mean you have seen my face everyday for
the past 3 years," he answered grinningly.
"Well I don't, so why don't you tell me? That sounds much better than
playing your little guessing games," she answered back sarcastically.
"I am Gabriel, the keeper of gates. I hold the keys to whichever path you
chose."
"Why am I being asked now of all times? Why didn't you ask me yesterday?
Or 3 years ago?"
"You needed to be touched by at least 3 drops of rain to be given a choice."
"Well, now that I am here, what are my choices?" she asked, looking at the
doors.
"You have exactly 3 choices. The first is eternal life in the state you are now
in. The second is to save you from pain so you will go and live in paradise
with me. The third is to wake up from your coma, live your life regularly,
and die of old age. And remember," he said with dark eyes, " That what ever
you choose, there will be consequences."
Taiya thought about her 3 choices for a bit. She could go with eternal
life, but what would be the point? She could go to paradise, but then what
would have been her purpose in life? And she could wake up, and make her
own decisions. So, the best of all was choice was number 3.
"I want to wake up from this, this nightmare."
"Fine. It has been done. And Rain, I am truly sorry," Gabriel answered her,
as he slowly disappeared, and the third door opened with a blinding flash.
Taiya woke up with a headache, and an ache in all her muscles. Well
she then realized why. She had been asleep for 3 years without moving,
eating, or going to the bathroom. She was supposed to be dead! And here
she was, awake and well, without a scratch. And what were the
consequences to this, this chance to live a normal life?
"Taiya, your awake!" cried her uncle, as he saw her sit up in her bed.
"Yes dear uncle. But I see you have been crying. Why is that?"
Her uncle sat himself down at the end of her bed, and wiped his eyes
with one of his sleeves. You could always tell when he had been crying. His
cheeks turned a bright red that matched his hair. His violet eyes, that
matched her own, became very watery. And he only cried when family died.
And only one family member was left.
