Chapter 1
Have you ever wondered what Heaven was like?
It was a dark stormy night. A tree had fallen onto the road and two friends were driving headlong towards it. With a flash of lightening, Fiona's eyes widened. Time slowed down to a standstill. Not more than 5 feet in the front of the car the huge tree lay across the road. Before she even had time to scream, everything went silent.
"Oh my god, she's bleeding! Wake up Fiona, wake up". Tania shook her friend and tried to rouse her from the unconscious state. Tania immediately called the ambulance and when the paramedics came, they loaded Fiona onto a stretcher and carried her, sirens whirling to Phoenix Hospital in Phoenix, USA.
"What happened?" one of the paramedics asked Tania. "The tree.it fallen and we.we.crashed into it" she replied. "It's all my fault, if only I had seen it earlier. If only I had Fiona wouldn't be hurt. It's alright Miss, your friend will be fine", the ambulance officer said soothingly. The conversation stopped. Tania was thinking of her friend's condition and the ambulance officer tending to Fiona.
Fiona heard Tania but she couldn't seem to open her eyes. She felt like she was floating. "Wait" she thought. "I can't feel my legs. Where are my legs?" She tried to fight the blackness that was overcoming her. She felt like she was sinking. She had no energy left. She finally gave up fighting and let the darkness overcome her.
Meanwhile, the ambulance had reached the hospital. The doctors tended to Fiona's wounds. They saw that her legs had been damaged badly. They had no choice but to amputate it. The nurses placed Fiona in a hospital room and contacted her foster-parents. When they arrived, she was still unconscious. Her vitals were steady but she was in a coma. "When will she wake up doctor?" her foster-mother asked. "I'm sorry, there is no guarantee that she will wake up. All we can do is wait and see" he replied before walking away.
Fiona awoke in the midst of a blinding white light. She found that she was lying on meadow of grass. When she looked around, there was nothing but the meadow stretching for miles around her. 'Where am I? How did I come to this place? Why am I here?" all these questions ran through her mind at once. Fiona was scared. She wanted to go home. She didn't want to be alone here by herself.
She saw a rainbow in the sky and it seemed like it was beckoning to her to follow it. She decided to do so and she walked for days following the rainbow, which had never faded along the way. She finally reached the end. There was a clearing there, with little cottages. She saw smoke coming out from one of the houses and decided to see if the person there could help her. She walked over, raised her hand to the wooden door and knocked.
