Luineraugwen: Hey everybody, I'm back.

Rinchan4992: No don't worry, not all people are that violent, It's just the way I wrote the chapter but I have heard of students bringing guns and the sorts to school and using them so I decided that's how Sora would die. I feel somewhat happy for me because we can't have people shoved into lockers because we don't have any. Our school makes us carry our books around and trust me, my bag weighs a ton. But we get fist- fights (which school doesn't) and sometimes someone's bag is lit on fire but that's about it. Thanks for being nice and for reviewing the last chapter, you're the only one who did. It's also nice to know that there are people who do have manners too.

Chapter 3

Sora opened her eyes slowly but a blinding light stopped her so she closed them tightly again. She felt like she was floating but she wasn't. Where was she? What happened? She opened her eyes again and although they hurt, she kept them open and waited for her eyes to adjust to the light. It was completely white and it seemed like it went on forever. Sora looked down at herself and found out that she was naked. Her heard whipped around to see if anyone was able to see her but there was no one. Only her and the open space around her.

"Hello" Sora called out and was surprised to hear and echo. Her voice reverberated off invisible walls and sounded around her. Suddenly a wide hole appeared before her and she jumped back in fear. Down below her, she saw a crowd of people circled around a single person, who by the looks of it, was lying on the ground. Sora immediately recognized the place. It was her school and the person lying on the ground was her.

"But how can that be?" Sora whispered to herself but it echoed faintly around her. If she was there, then how could she be here as well? It didn't make sense at all. Two ambulance men pushed their way through the crowd and knelt by her side before quickly starting CPR. Sora could feel a faint pushing motion on her chest but it was too small to be considered important. The girl gently placed a hand over where her heart was and was amazed that she could feel her heart beating. Sora panicked a bit and checked her pulse at her neck and wrist. Nothing. She was dead.

"There's no hope for me coming back gentlemen but thanks for trying anyway. It's time to give up now" Sora whispered softly as the men gave up as though on her instruction and shook their heads in defeat. She knew that if she her heart had stopped beating and she could realize it, then there was no coming back for her. Sora's life was over. The principal hurried over and he and the teachers shooed the other students away while two policemen handcuffed Bren and took him away. A stretcher was called in and Sora's lifeless body was placed on it, covered with a cloth and wheeled away into the back of the waiting ambulance.

Sora's tears began to fall onto the misty white floor beneath her and her knees decided that now was a good time to give out on her. The girl now sat curled up with her knees to her chest, crying her eyes out. She had left everything behind. Death hadn't been on her agenda for the day but some reason fate had intervened with her life. What did it have in store for her? Heaven or Hell. A small smile graced her lips as Sora remembered one of the sayings she liked to say sometimes.

"Heaven doesn't want me and Hell's afraid I'll take over. Will that be my fate? Forever forced to wander the Earth as a lost and cursed spirit? I have left many things unfinished and loose ends untied. What will become of me from now on?" Sora whispered to herself and heard it echoed around her.

"That is thine choice not fate's. Thou can either wander the Earth alone, forced to forever relive your last moments of death or thee can take a journey. A journey like no other that no one has braved in many years. What is thine choice?" a mysterious voice said out of nowhere. Sora's head whipped around to see what had broken the silence but no one was there.

"What kind of journey does thou speak of?" Sora said slipping into Old English.

"One thee shall enjoy greatly. If thy choice be the journey, thou new life shall be surrounded by tranquility and beauty but it shall come with a price. Hard work will ensure your happiness in thy new life. Does thou agree?" the voice answered. It was hard to pinpoint where the voice was coming from but because of the echo, it was impossible. Sora sighed.

"It seems that I have no further life in this world, perhaps this new journey will make me happy. Aye, I accept thy proposal. 'Tis a shame to leave the home and family I have grown to love. Alas I must for it is for the best. I am ready" the girl said standing up and holding her head high.

"Thou hast chosen well but thou is not quiet ready yet, thou art in need of clothes to wear " the voice said chuckling. "Wear this". A small puff of smoke appeared in the air before Sora and a pile of clothes dropped into her hands. Sora quickly put on the undergarments before looking closely at the skirt and shirt. The skirt was long that it reached the ground and it was red in color with quite a large spilt up the front and a smooth, oval like ruby stone clipped the material together. The shirt was also red, kimono style, cris-crossing over the front of her body, and stopping just a comfortable distance from her navel. It also had long, wide sleeves of white material. Both the sleeves of the shirt and the edge of the crossing material had golden-yellow lining. A pair of red shoes appeared before her and she put them on too.

"Thank you" Sora said bowing.

"Now thou are ready" the voice said and the mist covering the floor rose up and began to surround the teenager. Soon she was covered by the mist and it was so thick that she couldn't even see though it. There was a suddenly lurch and Sora felt solid ground beneath her feet.

"Enjoy thy new life, Sora" the voice said quietly before fading away, taking the mist with it. As the mist dispersed Sora slowly got a look at her surroundings. She was on the edge of a small town or something to the equivalent of one. She could see many stalls with signs and banners hanging from the roofs. Sora closed her eyes and breathed in deeply. The air was so sweet and fragrant, unlike anything from her home. She opened her eyes and began to walk down the streets, he black hair flowing in the gentle breeze. Sora had no idea where she was going so she let her feet guide her.

"I've been here before" Sora whispered as her surrounding became more familiar and she tried to remember where she'd seen them. It suddenly occurred to her that she was walking through one of the dreams she had a few weeks ago. Except this time she was awake and it wasn't covered in black storm clouds. She continued walking, gazing at the restaurants around her until she came to a flight of stairs. Sora had a hazy idea of what was at the top of those stairs. She remembered a bathhouse and a bridge. On their own, as though something was calling them, her feet began to move again and she walked up the stone stairs. Sora faintly heard the sound of a train and when she reached the top of the stairs, she walked gracefully over to the bridge railing and dared to look over the edge. Below was a deep chasm that was empty except for the smaller bridge that the train traveled on. She then heard the sound of waves crashing against the shore and she ran to the other side of the bridge to see the waves. Sora loved the water but she much preferred the warmth of a fire more. The teenager took in another deep breath. From here she could smell the water and hear the cry of gulls flying on the thermals above her.

"This place is beautiful" Sora exclaimed out loud in delight as she let the wind play with her hair.

"I'm glad you think so but your human and you shouldn't be here!"

Luineraugwen: Any guesses for who that could be? It's pretty obvious isn't it? I'm amazed that I managed to finish this chapter in one night…then again it's a short chapter so that shouldn't surprise me at all. Sorry the chapter's so short. R and R. Okay, just in case you got mixed up with the Old English or whatever I used when Sora was talking with the 'voice' I'll translate it. Sorry but it seemed right to use it for some reason and besides, my class is studying Shakespeare at the moment. We just finished watching A Midsummer's Night Dream the movie. It'd make a good bedtime story. It'll put your to sleep in minutes. Unfortunately I didn't have the pleasure of sleeping.

Thou- you (used when being polite)

Thee- you (used to children, friends, lovers or inferiors)

Thy- (familiar) or thine (polite) your

Hope that cleared some things up for you. Till next time. I'm not sure when I'll update. Hopefully it'll be soon. Also I have not given the 'voice' a name. If any one would like to give it one, it can be one of the SA characters or someone else. If it is then just give me a background on them in case I need it in the future. It can also be male or female.
