The winners..

Pearl's awakening

【Pearl's pov】

I open my eyes and frantically look around. Is this what death looks like? Why am I in a dark room? Or place? Building? Hell? When I looked to my right I see Scott smiling in the distance. Without any hesitation I run towards him, screaming his name. He laughs softly as I hug him as tightly as I can, letting tears roll down my face. He's wearing a grey colour. Usually he would put contacts in and change his outfit to match his life colour but this time its all grey.

"Pearl.." He whispers.
I look up at him. I hadn't realised how much I had been crying until I realised my vision was blurry.
"Where are we Scott?" I manage to say as I whipe my face with my red hoodie. Again, he laughs, smiles and looks at me sympathetically before telling me to follow him.

As we walk I grap his arm firmly, not wanting to let go. Not wanting him to leave again, not like that. We seem to just walk and walk. The place is dark and pure black.
"Do you want an explanation?" He finally asks.
"Y-yes?" I say quickly but being unsure at the same time.
"Well we died, obviously. But you won!" He says without showing much emotion.
"So they were right about there only being one winner?" I asked. Surely not. There was one life left but two of us. We should of both won.
"Eh." He sighs "they wouldn't want me back here so I'm willing to go."
"They? Here? What's happening Scott your not helping me here!?" I raise my voice a little and move away from him.
"Pearl, you won. You get to be here with the other winners. You'll get to remember the whole of double life and Tilly forever! And for the ones who don't win, they won't remember any of it."
"Other winners?" I ask. Where did he even get this information? People call me crazy but he's being the crazy one here!
He graps my hand and drags me somewhere in a different direction, as if he knows where he's going.
"Be quite." He whispers.
I go to open my mouth to shout at him for being stupid and not explaining anying normally to me. But I don't say anything. In front of us are voices. I squint my eyes to see who they belong to. There are two figures there. Me and Scott slowly walk closer to them.

As we get closer the voice began to become clearer and so do the figures. I walk closer to the two talking people when I relise Scott had stopped. In front of me was Scott and Grian? How? Grian died and Scott's next to me. The even stranger thing is that Scott's wearing something different. He was wearing a blue jacket (almost the same as the one he's wearing now), A grey stripe in the middle of his white T-shirt, a grey bracelet and shiny, grey floating things above and around his head. One thing I didn't notice before tho was his red eyes a deep red colour, nearly the same as mine. Grian just looked like Grian. Which I don't know if that's even stranger.

I took another step forward and they both seemed to notice me. They turned around at the same time and looked shocked. We stood in silence for a couple of seconds before one of them spoke.
"Pearl..?" Grian asked and looked me up and down.
"Pearl!" Scott shouted, excitedly and pulled me in for a hug.
"Oh my god, what happened to you? Are you okay?" He asked and moved my head up so I was looking up at him.
"I don't think she'll remember this you, Scott.." Grian says as he walks over to us, slowly. Scott seems to be taken aback when he hears Grians words, like it was the most heartbreaking thing he could have said.

I look at the Scott in front of me. Something about him seems so..welcoming? Or maybe safe. Or maybe, to an extent, familiar.
I move away from him and look over to the Scott I know. He was still standing there smiling at me. He mouths the words goodbye Pearl and fades away into the darkness. With the over two not even noticing.
