Ok, So I've been real busy lately and haven't had time to update.

But I'm glad to say that I found a little bit of time last night to wright my next chapter but I'm putting it up late.

Thanks for being so patient and I promise that the next chapter I post will be for my 'Still Think I'm crazy' story.

Anyway, here is my next chapter. Enjoy!


Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!


Eleanor sat there for a moment, thinking, watching, and listening. She could feel his could touch on her shoulder as it seeped through his cloak. It was so quiet and she could feel the pressure for her to choose getting heavier.

True, the choice was a lot harder than she thought it would be. She, just as most people, had heard stories about not going towards the light but to run away from it. But she had never thought that there was a second choice. But she didn't know if it was what she wanted. Eleanor couldn't be sure of what was on either side.

"Well Eleanor, what will it be?" He asked.

"I- I don't know," she replied. Eleanor's mind went back to earlier today. She remembered waking up that morning and thinking how great the summer was going to be. She'd never have thought that she would end up here.

Then she started to think about her sisters and her friends she'd be leaving behind. Eleanor knew she would miss all of them so much. The truth was that she didn't want to die. There was so much she still wanted to do.

But, of course, it was too late now, right? She was dead and she had to make a choice. So I guess this is it… wait a second! Eleanor suddenly remembered what he had told her earlier.

'"I know a lot Eleanor, especially when someone's going to die."'

Did that mean what she thought it meant, or was she hoping just a little too much? Did she still have a chance or was it too late?

She didn't know but she was sure of one thing, and that was that she didn't want to die. I'm not giving up so easily!

That's when she stood up. He did to and asked, "I assume you have made your choice?"

She nodded. "Yeah, I did."

"So what is it?"

"I'm not going," she said firmly and stepped back.

"Hmm, excuse me?" He replied, sounding confused.

She started to back away. The whole time she stared him right in the face. Well, at where she thought his face was. But she knew that he couldn't be trusted. And she had to get away.

"You heard me."

"Now Eleanor, don't do anything stupid," he cautioned.

"J-Just stay away from me!" Her fear was growing gradually as she backed away. He started to come closer and she noticed the light growing brighter and brighter behind him.

Looking back at him she saw his arm reach out and grab her roughly by the wrist. "You're coming with me," he growled and she felt him pulling her forward. The voice in the back of her head screamed for her to run and with a burst of energy she broke free from his deadly grip.

She started to run down the long, dark passage way as fast as she could. She looked back and saw nothing but darkness which caused her to slow down.

Where am I, she thought. Which way do I go?

That's when she heard the whispers. They were faint and far off. Eleanor looked around but didn't see anyone. They seemed to be directed not to her but to each other.

"I see you're lost there. Can I help?"

Startled, Eleanor turned and saw him standing right behind her in the darkness.

"You see Eleanor, You can't get away from me," he mocked.

"Just watch me," me challenged and started running again. Down the dark hallway, she could hear the whispers growing louder and louder until they started to drive her crazy.

She stopped to catch her breath a moment later. Standing up straight she noticed how quiet it had become all of the sudden. Looking to her left she noticed an opening in the wall. And for some reason she was drawn to it.

Slowly, she walked through the opening and looked around. It was dark but she could still see a door at the end of the small passageway. Walking to it she stopped and stared at the gigantic wooden door. It had a big brass handle on it and seemed shut tight.

She slipped her hands around it and took a deep breath.

"Stop!"

The voice made her jump and she turned around. At the other end of the hallway was him again. And he was obviously not happy.

"Eleanor, don't you DARE open that door!"

"Why shouldn't I?"

"Just stop. You have no idea what is behind that that door."

"I'm not just going to let you take me away without a fight, whoever you are. I'm not giving up!"

"I'm only going to tell you this once. Get away from the door and come back here, Now!"

"You can come through, can you?"

"Eleanor…"

"No. You asked me what my choice was. And this is it," Then she turned the handle and pushed the door with all her strength. Going in she felt as though the ground had given away from under her.

She started rolling down what seemed to be a hill and landed on the ground with a large thud. She wasn't hurt but was dazed for a moment as she tried to stand up. She looked back and saw the door had been closed and was at the top of the incline she had fallen down.

Eleanor checked her surroundings. She was standing on a flat rock platform that was very big. It was surrounded by darkness and nothing else.

She walked a few feet forward and stopped at the edge. Eleanor looked down and saw an abyss of darkness. It was as if it had no bottom or ending to it. She stood up straight and took a step back.

"Ok Eleanor, think," she said to herself. "There has to be somewhere out here. You just have to figure out where."

"There is, and you're looking at it."

The eerie voice startled her and she turned to see who it was.

To her terror, there were shadows of people standing in front of her. They were staring blankly at her, unmoving. Eleanor could feel herself shaking as one of them stepped right in front of her, face to face.

"W-wh-what do you want," she stammered. She started to step back but remembered where she was and stopped.

"Go back and stop him."

"I'm not sure what you mean."

"Stop him."

Before she could ask anything else, she felt him push her over the edge and into the darkness.


Well tell me what you think!

This chapter was a lot shorter than I wanted it to be because I am sooo busy!

Well anyway I'm going to have a poll up for the next story I do so check it out.

Thanks everyone. And don't forget to review!
