I forgot why I had been so distressed when I first started to regain consciousness… I let the peacefulness of my surroundings take over and started to lose consciousness again. No. This was wrong. As much as I loved it, I shouldn't be here… I couldn't exactly remember why, and I knew, that for the moment, that I didn't want to. I reluctantly opened my eyes to a forest scene. I knew I recognized this place, but I pushed it out. A light breeze played with my hair as I got up off the ground.

My subconscious mind urged me to walk to the right, I knew better than to judge the one part of me that was still willing to be with it.

As I walked I knew I was going in the right direction, I heard children laughing. But I felt consciousness fade me. One moment I was walking the next I was on the ground. I did not fight the sleepiness taking hold, I let the sound of laughter sooth me to sleep…
