Hey! I wrote this chapter before my others because it's short, I know.
I can't wait to write the next one, lots of heartbreak at that start, but quickly forming into lovely lemony goodness! ;)
I awakened in a dark, broken kind of world. People were floating about me, dark, baggy circles underneath their eyes and their mouths turned down in permanent grimaces. They wore a variety of clothes, some smeared with blood, some not. I began to panic. Where the hell am I? I asked this to a man coming up behind me, his eyes a deep, dark brown, his face almost devoid of emotion. He looked...dead.
"You're in the world of the dead. Sorry," he muttered solemnly. I gawked at him.
"Dead?"
"Yes, we haven't found peace, and we follow people in the living world to find it again."
"How long have you been here?" It seemed, the more days spent here, the more they withered away. I was just too surprised to not be calm. It was as if I were alive, but in another world.
"Twenty-two days. Nearly my time."
"This is crazy!" I said to myself, who, probably, was going insane. I walked away from the man. "This isn't real. It's not real. It's my imagination. It isn't allowed to be anything else!" I shuffled down the dirt and gravel paths of the dead world and stopped at a mossy, burned log on the edge of this land, literally. I gazed upwards at the overcast sky and the rolling, thunderous clouds threatening to burst with sorrowful rain; and I finally cried. I cried like Rose was crying back in that house. How I remembered that, I didn't know. I closed my eyes and clung to my memories, thought for my life. I remembered every detail of when we met, every meaningful discussion we'd had, every kiss we'd shared and the cabin. I thought of the way she stroked my hair, nuzzled her face into my neck and give me gentle kisses across my face. The way she would scratch her nails down my back, digging them roughly into my skin or when she would snuggle against me when out moments of blissful peace were over and kiss my neck and chest. God, how I loved her. She was like the sun, the moon, the earth, everything! She was everything I ever needed, and now she was gone.
Gone, gone, gone.
And so was my sight.
I felt a tugging sensation, and it all went black.
Then it was white; a bright flash.
Ta-da! :D
Hope you enjoyed this one, and you won't be waiting very long for me to update again on my stories
(It's the weekend! Finally.)
Thank-you for reading this far without dying of boredom, my friends!
