Why Would I?

Night-Flashes pt.2

Was this really the way my life would come to an end? Sylvanna Silvetto, dead at age ten. Was just one out of the thousand thoughts racing through my mind. I barely understood death, yet I thought this pain was it, the end.

In that dark, painful void I assumed was death, I had my first night-flash.

The pain had suddenly stopped and was replaced by an over flow of happiness. I don't know when or how the feeling began but it was different, almost like deja-vu. I knew I must be dreaming but the feeling felt so real, like it was a memory I was reliving.

I felt grainy sand beneath me and began feeling like I was running. I opened my eyes as the feeling consumed me. I was now I toddler running along a long shoreline. The sun was setting behind me and the tide was clearly coming in as waves began coming closer and closer to the rocky bay. My now shoulder length brown curly hair was being caught up in the wind. The wind was strong and had a salty taste as I ran, mouth open laughing in a mischievous way.

A tall blonde woman with long curly hair and freckles which reminded me of stars was chasing me, arms stretched out and a smile forming on her face. Her slightly crooked teeth seemed like I had known her my entire life, though my conscious self had never seen her before, not even in a painting.

Before I knew it I was entirely apart of this scene, no worries of death and not a care in the world.

"I'll get you Vana!" the lady chuckled, running slowly towards me. "Vana!" the woman shouted finally picking me up. She held me high up in the air and spun me around. As she spun me her elegant, bejeweled dress glimmered in the golden sunlight. The dress suit her perfectly, as if made for her by someone who truly loved and admired her. As if an astrologist made a dress for the moon or his favorite constellation. The dress seemed like something only royalty could wear. I giggled as she spun me around and I felt joy like never before.

Alas, as I closed my eyes, enjoying the sea breeze and the warm kiss of the sun, I returned to the pain. This beautiful dream of nothing but joy was over.

I opened my eyes, jolting up. I was back in my room and was aching everywhere. I groaned falling back into my pillow. Pain seems to be following me.

*3 Days Later*

I was having a steady and fast recovery. I had dislocated my shoulder, twisted my ankle and had some large bruises from the fall. I always thought of myself as tough but this fall had shown me I was more fragile than I had thought. Lessons had been cancelled for the next week after the incident so as soon as I was up on my feet I began helping out around the house until I was completely healed.
