Chapter Four -All you needed to Say

Samantha stared down at the little boy. She didn't know where she was now. It looked the same, but the pull around her was different. Not as strong.

"Where are we going now?" She asked him. She felt him cling harder to her hand.

He seemed to have found the place he was looking for when he stopped, and tilted his head up to look up at her.

"You must choose." He said seriously.

"Choose?" She was confused, "Choose what?"

"Which path you choose to take." He explained.

"How many paths do I have? Does everyone get to choose? What will happen if I don't choose this?" All her questions came rushing out of her mouth. She bit down on her bottom lip to stop herself from talking.

"You have two paths, Samantha. Not everyone gets to choose. If you do not choose this then He will understand. Life is a precious gift, do not make hasty decisions." He said to her feelingly.

"How do I know the right path to take?" she asked unsure, and a little scared. Though here time here had been short, she had never ever felt this calm and at peace before. She felt the pull loosen. Was it getting darker? But how could that be? It wasn't light nor dark to start with..

"You know it. He knows it too."

"Who is He?"

"I will be back to welcome you . When you are really ready." He said, his hand relaxing slightly.

"This wasn't real?" Maybe she was dreaming. It felt so real though.

"It is very real, Samantha. You were never ready to leave, He wanted you to understand this. Life is a precious gift. I am his messenger. Your life has been hard so far."

His words were like a hammer to her heart. Relief she didn't know she needed flooded over her. "It got so hard, I...will it get easier?"

He smiled his soft smile. "It is never easy. He sees hope and goodness in your soul. You have a chance for happiness. Do not waste this opportunity."

"Why go to this much hassle to make me understand that?" She asked, bewildered., "Aren't you busy..ah...'welcoming'

"Many believe He only comes when the end is here. He gives more than he takes." He said, speaking in the riddles she was now accustomed to.

"No offence, but I hope I don't see you for awhile." Samantha joked. Do angels joke around?

He laughed. It was the first laugh she had heard from him. It surprised her, but she guessed that there was more to him than she'll ever know. At least for now.

"She will be beautiful. He is watching over her." He let go of her hand.

"Who will be?" She was mystified this time.

"I will see you when it is time."

She was alone now. Where had he gone? She never go to say goodbye.

"I want to go home." She whispered softly to the air around her.

That's all He needed her to say.
