   "Kill me please"
   
    I scream looking to the sky as a bolt of lightning hit me in the chest, my body burned and shuddered as the energy passes through my body and into the ground below me as I scream enjoying the pain. I wanted the pain. Anything to kill the emotional pain in my heart
   
    "MORE PLEASE MORE"
   
    I cried out as another hit me in the head knocking me to my knees. I gasp as everything goes dark for just a moment and when I open my eyes the place is in caus. The wind had picked up dirt as it spun around me growing bigger and bigger, the turmoil in my heart hurt more than life itself. The turmoil around me grew every second, expanding and pulling anything it could grasp with it.
   
    This was it. This was the moment that I would end it all, overcome with grief and pain. My heart thumped as I looked to the heavens and cried.
   
    "Please kill me and send me to her. Please, I need her. I can't do this without her please"
   
    Just then the lightning strikes all around me, it's power increasing as it hits the ground building and adding to the energy around me. Then it hits me again right in the back where my heart lay beating unevenly since they stole her from me.
   
    I scream as It scorches my skin and pushes me forward onto my hands. The shock boiling my blood in my body, every hair standing to attention as the static in the air intensifies. My heart started to thump faster as I felt a tingle in the center of my chest.
   
    The lightning never gave up, hitting me one after the other, I welcomed it, pushing myself up and looking to the sky with my arms open as it hit my face over and over again. My tornado was not just wind anymore, it was full of living energy. Everytime it zapped within the winds the energy grew and grew, attaching itself to me.
   
    Then the thought struck me, if I control it maybe I can use it to kill myself. I call on more and more, building the energy, I feel it growing, I feel everything it touches and pulls in its wake. I feel it all. I scream as another tingle hits my heart reminding me of her. I sob looking to the heavens and praying that I would be with her soon. Then I do it.
   
    I pull on all the energy around me, strengthening it and directing it in my direction. I needed it all if this was going to work. Once it's ready I release it and aim for my chest.
   
    It hits from every direction at the same time, unable to pull or push me in one direction because each wave of it was just as powerful as it's rival. I scream as it tear's through my chest, everything goes dark as it continues to hit me over and over again. My heart felt like it was melting in my chest as it burned me right to my soul. All thoughts of anything else left me but she was still heavy on my mind.
   
    Her face was all I could see in the darkness, her face was all I could see when I opened my eyes. I watch as she walks to me. That's when I know it's worked and I'm dead. Shes come to collect my soul. I watch as she walks right through the thunder and wind looking like the angel that she was.
   
    She steps through the lightning walking to my chest and she falls to her knees in front of me and pulls me into a hug.
   
    I gasp as the tingles light up my body and the lightning stops as I take her beautiful face in my hands.
   
    "I'm alive Carter, I'm alive"
   
    It couldn't be true? I must have been delirious from being hit with so much lightning
   
    "No I watched you die? I watched you die, I'm just seeing things?"
   
    I was so confused, I didn't want to believe it and think I was dreaming. I didn't want to not believe it and miss her.
   
    "Because I won't ever die, I'm like you. I won't ever, ever die. We are one Carter I am alive and I am here"
   
    My heart constricts in pain and I gasp, grabbing her face and kissing her as tears streamed down my face. She was alive? I pull back and look her over. She was in a white gown, clean and perfect. The wind around us slowly started to die down and she gasped, absorbing the darkness.
   
    "But how are you here? I'm like 10 hours away from home?"
   
    "When I died I learned a lot about my gifts. But I am alive Carter and I am yours for forever. I promise this isn't a trick"
   
    I gasp as she starts to heal me, tears in her eyes as she runs her hand down my face. I feel the burns close over and knit together. The skin healed and my heart started to thump, matching her heartbeat once again. The same sweet melody that puts me to sleep each night.
   
    She was perfect. She was my angel, my light. I pull her in for another kiss, then I wrap my arms around her body and pull her flush to my chest as the wind turns from a tornado into a rough wind and a rough wind to a breeze.
   
    I pull on her bottom lip and she opens her mouth as my tongue invades her mouth. She moans as I taste her, she is my heart and soul and I told her that. I told her that I loved her more than life itself all in this kiss. I made sure she knew that as I kissed her. She kissed back with just as much emotion. But suddenly she pulls back.
   
    "Hold on to me"
   
    She tells me breathlessly, so I do and suddenly the world around me spins on its axes, everything moves as my stomach lurches forward at the movement and suddenly we are among the trees. I gasp, turning and emptying my stomach.
   
    "Sorry I should have warned you"
   
    "What the fuck was that Carly?"
   
    She shrugs with a grin on her face then she touches me and everything stops and I'm transported back to the moment she died. My heart restricts painfully as I watch through her eyes, feel her pain, feel and see what happened when her heart stops.

    Carly's POV
   
    My body goes limp as my heart stops in my chest and suddenly I'm in darkness. I know I'm dead, I know I was gone for good and no spelled ring or witches talisman would ever bring me back. Not from this death.
   
    I see nothing, I hear nothing, I try to cry but I no longer have a body so I can't. I'm not sure how long I lay there, it could have been seconds or hours with nothing but darkness.
   
    My soul churns painfully, I had no heartbeat but I prayed for one. I needed something to hear or feel. I needed something to hold onto but there was nothing, only dark. My soul weeps in sorrow as my mind tries to understand what was happening. Was this it? Was this the way it will always be? Darkness and nothing more?
   
    Suddenly the world around me shifts and I gasp as light surrounds me. So bright I have to squint and then I realise I have hands and skin. I can breathe again. I touch my face and cry. I could feel my body again. I could touch stuff, I lay on my knees on the ground in a white dress.
   
    I looked around and realised I was in what looked like a throne room, the floors and walls were white sandstone, huge windows surrounded the place but none of them had glass in them. The weather was warm and I could hear birds chirp in the trees outside.
   
    A huge throne sat in the center with another 2 behind it. The room was huge and down each side of the room stood statues of different men and women. The roof was so high up I can't imagine anyone could change a lightbulb in this place without a crane. Then I realised there were no lights, only golden rays of sunlight shining through the windows, lighting up each statue. making them come to life in their own way, each detail was so precise it was hard to process the true beauty of each one.
   
    "Beautiful aren't they?"
   
    My skin nearly leaps of my body and runs away as I screech clutching my chest
   
    "Holy ful fuck! a little warning I nearly pissed my pants"
   
    I rant, turning to find the culprit but I freeze. Damn he was pretty. Around 30 years old with beautiful bronze skin and deep brown eyes. Longish messy brown hair with a perfectly shaped short beard. His smile was warm and welcoming and he was tall wearing a white shirt and white trousers that hung low with simple white sliders on his feet.
   
    "Sorry"
