Lizzie's POV
I was frozen. I couldn't move, I couldn't think, I couldn't do anything. Something wanted me to move on and another wanted me to stay back. There was one thing that I did think about.
I missed Jack. I wanted more than anything to be back with him.
I felt wind brush along my face and I heard the chirping of birds .That's when I opened my eyes.
I was in a field. The grass was green and the sky was blue with white fluffy clouds. The sun warmed my skin. There were mountains in the distance and right in front of me was a weeping willow
"Where am I?" my voice echoed throughout whatever world I was in. A whole flock of blue jays flew in the sky except they were as big as people! I felt my back. No wings. I was human, not a smidgen of power in me. And I wasn't sick! What is this place? I looked down and there was no more blood staining my tank top. Something inside me told me that this wasn't any place on earth and I believed it.
I walked over to the weeping willow in front of me and leaned against the trunk taking in everything that's happened the past 6 hours. I closed my eyes and went deep into thought. All of a sudden there was crying. My eyes shot open, where was that coming from? I peeked around the tree and there was a girl. She was sitting with her knees pulled close to her chest as she wept. She had long blonde hair and she was wearing a hospital dress.
"Excuse me, are you alright?" I asked as I cleared my throat.
Her head shot up and turned around to face me. She gasped. Ive seen her before, back at the hospital!
"Emily?" I took a step closer. "Emily it's me, Lizzie. From the hospital... Remember?" I asked. She got up and ran into my arms and I kneeled down to return the hug. Emily was here... Oh no.
"It's alright, it's okay, Whats wrong?" I said now drying her tears. She took a deep breath.
"I was in the hospital. I got so tired and my mom told me to stay awake. Right before I closed my eyes, she kissed my forehead And I ended up here... All alone." she said ending her weeping. Why Emily? Why now? She had so much ahead of her. She reminded me of Pippa actually. I looked around again and I thought I knew where we were. I remember reading about this place in church like 300 years ago.
"Emily, did you go to church?"
She shook her head and I smiled kneeling down beside her. " I know exactly where we are." I said with a smile
"You do?"
"Mmm Hmm. The land between the living and heaven, the place souls go when they know its not their time yet. Limbo."
