"No" I whispered. I'm a horrible sister. How could I have made a decision like that so quickly. Of course, I had my little brother Luca. If anything, he was the only person I had besides Cora. How could I have been so stupid? "Oh, dear god. No!" I shouted as I landed on the ground. We had both been through so much together. And now he has to go through my death? All by himself, and now he has to go through life with no advice or help. What have I done. I started to freak out. Besides him, what will I have to face here. I decided to regret my choice of dying. I turned around and started to pound on a big rock. There was no door. "LET ME BACK IN!" I shouted to no one in particular.
Nothing happened. I continued to bang on the rock.
"OPEN UP! I CHANGED MY MIND! LET ME BACK IN PLEASE!"
Still nothing happened.
"OK THIS ISNT FUNNY OPEN THE GODDAMN ENTRANCE!!!"
The rock remained the same as it was when I first saw it. I was getting really mad and punched the rock. When I punched it, it cracked right before my eyes and became dust.
"UHGGGGGG" I said exasperated, not phased at all by what just happened.
I plumped down on my butt and started to pout like a little three-year-old.
Mumbling to myself, "This isn't fair...why me.... I'm so so stupid!" I kept saying this to myself for a while. I stopped and just started ahead of my hating everything. Even the beautiful red flowers that had gold gemstones on them. Even the pink and white flower trees that were blowing back and forth from the light breeze that chilled me a bit. Even at the sunset that had a mix of reds and oranges in the sky. I was mad at everything. This whole time I hadn't thought once of him. How could I have been so selfish.
A million and one questions just kept going through my mind, as the sun was setting on the west horizon. I didn't care where I was, I just wanted to get back to my little brother. I sat there quietly glaring at a single blade of shiny green grass. I concentrated on that blade of grass until it caught fire. "What the heck?!" I screeched. I started to stomp on it with my foot until it went out. I sighed. So now I have superpowers even though I'm dead? Like that makes any sense. Next thing you know I'll be shooting lasers out of my eyes. I sat back down but was careful at how hard I looked at something. The only other time something like that had happened was when I was fourteen. About three years ago.
I was outside, in my backyard throwing knives. All of the sudden my mom came out screaming at me. Now I wasn't having a good day that day. My teacher had failed me on a test for no reason, I even checked it twice when we went over the answer. I had originally only got two answers wrong. So, for that I was pissed and to top it off I had found out my ex was cheating on me. So, when my mom had come screaming at me, I just started screaming at her and fire had shot out of my hand. She didn't see it come from my hand, fortunately but she did start blaming me. Saying that I was a defiled creature to Mother Nature, and this coming from a catholic woman. I was really really mad that day, obviously. It didn't even surprise me that I could do that.... I sort of forgot too.
It was night now. The sun has set, and it was completely black. I couldn't even see two feet in front of me.
It suddenly got really cold. So cold that I could actually feel it, this has never happened before.
I started to sing to myself just to comfort my nerves and my shaking body. I didn't like to, I thought I was horrible but other people say otherwise. I started to sing safe and sound by Taylor swift.
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said I'd never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said
Don't leave me alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you
Come morning light
You and I will be
Safe and sound
I just kept repeating that verse to myself until I heard a snap somewhere out there.
"Who's there?" I whispered. Dummy there not going to hear you if you're whispering to yourself, I thought to myself.
I squinted my eyes to see if I could make anything out. Nope not a thing. I didn't say another word and just listened to see if I could hear something else. I thought I didn't until...
"Are you serious?" A male voice said
"What the...!?" Something was forced over my head and then I was picked up and thrown over someone's back.
"PUT ME DOWN RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!!!" I screamed.
"Ouch, I didn't gag you for just no reason, now calm down and shut up or I will have to make you shut up" he said harshly. This male's voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on who it was.
I didn't stop fighting even though my hands were bound and my legs. I also kept screaming, but it wasn't like I knew someone was coming to save me I just did it because I was mad and a little terrified. Ok a lot terrified. What if they were taking me to hell...or worse?
I was sat down roughly on the ground. I started to twist and squirm to get away from this person.
"Will you please let me go now...ughhhh" I said exasperated, "I'm already freakin dead, why gang up on me like this? Are angels real?" I gasped. "Are you an angel..."
"Ok whatever you do, please don't freak out when I take the sack off your head" he said ignoring my questions.
"So, you are an angel...?"
"Who am I kidding you're going to freak out..." He said completely oblivious to the fact that I was even talking to him.
"Who the hell are you talking to?"
He sighed, "Here goes nothing." He seemed to be in pain to the way he said that.
"What are you even..." I started to say but then the sack came off and I shut up.
Because what I saw was someone who had the potential to destroy me emotionally.
"Christen..." I didn't even whisper to my dead brother.
