The Dixons Rises

Chapter 48

Soon?

April's P.O.V

For all I know, is that I'm falling to an endless black hole. The time must have stopped because I can't control my body. All that I'm seeing is this tiny dot of lightness, far above from me and my hair that keeps slapping my face.

I tried to move it away, tried to brush a hair out of my eye but it was a failed attempt. My body failed to received the message coming from my brain. 

And then, it all stopped.

My hair finally stopped swirling around, and that my body was forced upward into the dot of light which is now getting bigger and bigger.

Lightness consumed my eyes, it was so bright that I had to squint.

"April?" a familiar voice spoke up. The voice seemed to be confused as to why am I here, then I finally regain my senses and I opened my eyes to see Merle.

"What.." I trailed off feeling confused. What really stunned me is Beth sitting on the side of the street while strumming a guitar, singing a tune I don't recognize of.

Noah also passed by, he was drinking a can of soda and when he noticed me his smile flattered.

"April? What are you doing here?" he asked, and that's when I felt everyone's gaze on me.

"I don't know," I muttered, then I clutched my stomach where I remembered it was stabbed and shot.

"You shouldn't be here, not yet at least," Lizzie spoke up, my mouth gaped open at everyone's presence.

"How?" I tried to speak but it came out as a whisper. Oh no, please don't tell me that I'm dead.

And then the most unexpected thing happen, Merle cried and pulled me into a hug, or at least tried to.

"Whaaaa," Merle trailed off, he tries to touch me but his hand passed my face and I tried to swat it away but again, it just flew pass.

"Good, you're not exactly dead." Merle said and I raised an eyebrow.

"Dead?" 

"April," Trevor appeared out of nowhere, shocking the daylight out of me, "What happened?"

"Um, I got stabbed and shot at the same place." I motioned at my belly, "And then, I fell into this black hole and was pulled into this strange world."

"Well, as you can see we're all dead." Beth pointed out, "And if you're here, that means you're dead too."

"Fuck," I mumbled.

"Not really," Trevor said and his hand went pass my arm, "She's on a coma, so that means she can choose."

"Choose? Choose what?" a pang of realization hit me, "I have to choose if I want to live or die?!"

"Hell fucking yeah, isn't it fun?" Merle exclaimed with full sarcasm earning me to roll my eyes.

"Hell fucking no! I don't want to die," I hissed, and suddenly pain radiates my body.

"You chose to live, but since you arrived here, um how do I say this," Beth frown as if searching for the right word, "Since you stumble upon this world, let's just say you won't live long,"

"Shesh, nice way to sum it up," Noah said sarcastically and I rolled my eyes at this.

And then, I went back into the darkness.

"What the hell?" I shouted.

Wasn't I with the others earlier? Okay, this is getting too creepy for my liking.

Blood suddenly gushes out of my stomach, and I was gasping out for air.

"Ow!" I yelled, sitting up on a .. bed? And just seconds ago I thought that I'll be forever stuck on that black hole.

"Um," I mumbled when I look at my surrounding. I was in Alexandria! 

"Hello," a voice spoke from beside me earning me to scream. I turn to see Eugene and I let out a sigh of relief.

"You scared the crap out of me," I said and patted my stomach to see that there isn't any trace of blood. Weird.

"Well, you scared the crap out of your siblings," he pointed out and flicked a page on the book he was reading.

"Why are you here?" I asked. He just shrugged but then his eyes widened as if realizing something.

"You're alive!" he yelled out. Well no shit.

"Guys! Anyone!" he started shouting and I raised an eyebrow at him, just then Rosita burst into the room and when she saw me she ran back outside.

I heard her yelling out for Daryl and Ella, and seconds later I saw my siblings rushing inside the room.

"Oh my god! Thank goodness you're alive," Ella sighed and I hugged them back.

"Thank goodness it is," I said then I remembered about the dream I had. I don't know if it was really a dream, because it felt so real. 

Beth said that I won't live long, but I shouldn't worry right? I could be hallucinating for all I know.

"April!" I heard Blake shouted and he immediately pulled me into a hug that lasted for three seconds because next he slammed our lips together.

"I miss you terribly," he said with tears running down his eyes, "Shit, next time if you're going somewhere, I'll come along."

"Yeah, you probably should," I grinned and engulfed him into another hug.

For now, I'll just think about my 'dream' for later on.
