Chapter 3: Stories of Death

I wasn't exactly sure where to go, or more like, I didn't know where to look for where I was going. I wanted to go to the ledge overlooking the town, but I wasn't exactly sure where to look. I just knew to look for stairs…I guess. Eventually, after ages of looking, I found a flight of stairs, and fortunately for me, they led to the ledge. I stood on the edge, looking out onto the town. The view really did take my breath away, as Emily had said. Of course, I didn't actually have any breath to be taken away. Questions whirled in my head as I stared out at a land I had only seen in my dreams. How did I get here when it all never really existed, and why here? Why not somewhere else, like heaven perhaps…if heaven actually exists that is. But if this can exist, why shouldn't heaven? Everything was so jumbled, it was driving me nuts! Suddenly, I heard the soft tap of shoes walking up the stairs. I whirled around and saw Emily coming towards me. She walked to my side and stared across the little town.

"I thought I'd find you here." She said. "Care to explain why you ran off like that?"

"Sorry, that was kinda rude." I apologized. "I just have a lot on my mind right now."

"Do you want to talk about it?" she asked. I laughed.

"Even if I did tell you, you'd probably think I was insane!" I told her. She shrugged.

"Well, if you ever want to talk, I'm here, or waiting by the old oak tree for my true love, but Miss Plum could just show you where that was."

"Umm, what?" I asked.

"Oh, I should probably explain, huh?" She walked over to the bench and motioned for me to sit down next to her. I sat down and stared at her expectantly. She began her story. "Not too long ago, when I was still alive, I met a wonderful man, he was so kind and gentlemanly, and he stole my heart away." She began. "We wanted to marry, but my father wouldn't agree. He said that he wasn't good enough for me, mainly because he was low on his money. My father wanted me to marry someone better." She sighed. "But we were so in love, so we decided to steal away and marry somewhere else, with or without my father's blessings. We were to meet by the old oak tree next to the graveyard to leave together, but he didn't come for so long." She paused. "I was getting a bit nervous, all by myself you know, and I was about to head home, when suddenly a shadow snuck up on me. I turned and saw him there, but before I knew what was happening, he killed me, and when I awoke, dead, he and my family's jewels that he asked me to bring were both gone." She turned and sobbed a little into her dress. I patted her shoulder a bit awkwardly.

"Don't worry Emily, we both had tragic and sudden deaths. I wasn't able to say goodbye to my family either." I sighed a bit and she turned to me with a sympathetic look. Suddenly, she looked curious.

"You know my name, but I don't believe I ever caught yours." She said.

"Wow, I guess I didn't tell anyone my name, almost like I forgot it!" I laughed and stuck out my hand. "My name is Claire."
