Reawakening » Stiles Stilinski [book 4]

2. Day One of 3,254, Give or Take

Day One,

It seemed like only a second ago, I was finally letting go and ready to die, completely content having died in Stiles arms. But when I felt myself being ripped away from my body, it was like I was transported to this blank nothingness world. I didn't hear anything, I didn't see anything...

except for my worst nightmares.

Am I in hell?

"You're in a much worse place." I heard a voice whisper from behind me. 

I quickly turned around to face one of my best friends, it was weird though. She had died, she was dead so how was I seeing her now..? Unless, unless this is some sort of afterlife. "Al-Allison..?" I heard my voice crack a bit, barley above a whisper as I looked at my former best friend standing in front of me. She was wearing the same exact clothes the night she died, the wound still bleeding in her chest. 

"Hey Savannah.." Allison offered me a small smile. 

I let out a sharp laugh, going up to her and hugging her tightly. I never thought I'd see her again but here she was, in the flesh.. 

 "Ho-how..? How are you here? Wh-what? What is this place..?" I asked, my voice cracking as I tried to make sense of all of this. I thought-I thought that dying..that-that giving my life for Stiles' would give me some kind of closure.. That i would have founded peace but apparently not. I just-I don't understand what this place was. 

"It's someplace worst, a place that only nightmares live in that souls with unfinished business go..-it's not safe for you here.." Allison whispered to me. 

I looked at her confused. "Wh-what? I don't-I don't understand what you mean. If this place is worse than hell, why are you here..? You don't deserve to be here.." 

"I came here to warn you..to tell you not to give up. This place-once you get here, it's not an easy place to get out of..-they'll try to break you but trust me on this you, Savannah Knight, have been to hell and back before..this-this is just another mountain to climb..and you can make it to the top..Don't give up this time." Allison warned me, placing her hands on my shoulders and smiling at me. 

"Allison-no..I don't-I don't understand what you're saying..Ho-how can I get out of here if I'm dead..?" I looked at her confused, trying to understand what the hell was happening right now. I felt tears in my eyes as I shook my head. "I-I don't..Allison, I don't understand..I died, I died saving Stiles..I didn't-I don't have anything left unfinished, I shouldn't be here..I should have found peace or something and ended up in whatever island dream afterlife was waiting for me..I should-I should be somewhere nice, waiting to see Stiles again in the distant future..." I cried, not understanding anything that was happening. I know I've done a lot of horrible things but I just assumed in my dying moments, giving my life for Stiles meant that I'd be somewhere nice while I waited for him. 

"I know it hurts but you didn't think it would be that easy, did you? One sacrifice doesn't erase all the horrible things you've done." I heard someone say from behind me as I turned around and was suddenly face to face with another version of me, a dark version.
