Epilogue
Author's Note: This is the final part of Life has Changed. I hope you've had as much of a great time reading it as I've had writing it.
She'd been travelling through the void for hours. That is if it hadn't been days or weeks yet. Time seemed to blend together in the void. The only thing she knew was that she wasn't quite as dead as she thought. After what felt like an eternity, the light finally subsided around her. Suddenly, she realised she was five feet off the ground. She hit with a dull thud, only to have to spring up quickly at the sound of a passing truck cutting dangerously close to her. As it passed, it kicked up a shower of bright red sand which choked her half to death.
The first thing she registered was the heat. It was absolutely scorching. The second thing she noticed was that she was thankfully fully clothed and everything was in her pockets. She pulled out her phone. The temperature was well over a hundred degrees in the shade. Looking off into the distance, she saw an old house by the side of the road. It didn't look too inviting, but the people there could tell her where she was and she could maybe ask them for water.
Walking there took the girl about half an hour. She'd been on a slight hill when she spotted the house, but even though it was barely any distance, she could do little more than crawl along under the desert heat. When she finally made it, she didn't even get chance to knock on the door before it opened. A young looking girl stood there looking slightly angry.
"Please tell me it wasn't you opening the gate and letting one of our horses out!" she growled. Then she looked at the girl properly. Red sand was stuck in her hair and clothes. Her jeans had been ripped in multiple places and patched with black duct tape. She looked like she'd been without food or water for weeks.
"What's going on, Ellie?" a woman's voice asked. She appeared behind her before seeing the girl on the doorstep and gasping. "Come inside, dear." The girl was pulled inside and sat down at a table while the woman ordered her daughter to get her some water. She drank greedily from the cup placed in front of her before turning to the woman once she could speak again.
"Where am I?" she asked. "Who are you?"
"You'll be okay. You're on our land now." The younger girl sat down at the table with her. "I'm Ellie, and this is my mother Chen."
"What's your name, sweetie?" Chen asked. The girl hesitated before replying.
"My name is Max Caulfield."
