Skyfall

Chapter 3

   Darkness. Darkness was all I could see when I opened my eyes. My head was pounding and my mind felt like it was a million miles away. I sat up from the ground leaning on my elbows. It felt like every bone in my body was broken. I looked at my legs, they where covered in cuts and bruises.

   I felt a tickling on my forehead, and when I touched it blood showed up on my fingers. It scared me for a moment and then...then it hit me like a ton of bricks.

   Daniel jumped, and so did I.

   I got up ignoring the pain in my lower back and legs. "Daniel!" I shouted looking around frantically. "Dani please!" I cried, feeling myself tear up. I was now spinning in circles  around the field looking for him, and then I saw something.

   It was just a couple of yards away. I ran as fast as I could to the small figure. When I leaned forward to pick Daniel's body up I realized it wasn't him. What? It was BoBo. I gingerly picked the stuffed monkey up and tucked it under my armpit.  

   "Daniel please are you still here?" I cried.

   "Please Dani I-I have bacon for you..." I laughed bitterly. I was loosing my mind. My brain couldn't comprehend that Daniel was gone. I didn't need to see his lifeless body as closure, I just knew he was gone.

   "Dani" a tear slid down my cheek. "I know your life wasn't long, but please don't forget me. Don't forget me or BoBo..." my voice wavered. I cried like I never had before, spilling all of my emotions out in that silent field. I curled into a ball, shaking as I let myself drown in tears. I cried about everything. My mother, my life, the world, the people in Section F, everything.

   After what felt like years I finally wiped my eyes with my wrist. I gained a headache from crying so much and my head felt dizzy, so when I thought I saw Daniel I ran after him. But when I got closer I realized that it...it was his spirit running and dancing around the field.

    I didn't know if I should cry or not. But instead of either I just ran and danced with Daniel's spirit. I felt so free and happy that I actually cried tears of joy. Do you know that feeling when your so happy that your body feels like its floating?

   Well if I had to describe how I was feeling now, I think that would be it.

   I sat on the ground and watched as Dani played in the field. I knew he wasn't there but I felt so happy seeing his spirit around me. Nothing in the world mattered to me at this point. I just sat there on the grass watching my dead baby brother prance around as I held onto BoBo. I think  he was going to be  my 'security' now.

   As I turned to see Daniel play, his spirit started to be lifted into the air. In that single moment of seeing pinks, blues, and other beautiful colors engulf my brother I felt like he was something. Something to believe in.

   Dani was something that I yearned for. He made me want freedom even more. He made me want to be free, want to live. As the last of his spirit washed away in the wind, I felt a light breeze whisk past my chest, like it was trying to touch my heart.

   "I love you too Dani" I whispered then tucked BoBo under my arm and continued to walk towards freedom.

   Wherever that was...

Author's Note:

Okay so the song to the side is the song that Emma is 'hearing' in her head when Daniel is playing in the fields. Its kind of like a movie when something happens and then the music is in the background. Like that. So I hope you liked this chapter and if you did you should vote and comment. Please tell me what you think :D
