When She calls

Warmth of an angel

This morning I took another way to school, through the woods. It was a lot longer, but my heart felt at ease in the silence, with only the birds and the wind singing their songs. There was a lot of time left before class, so I could take my time. As I sat down on a rock and closed my eyes up at the pale sun there was a sudden bird crying in a warning tone. I opened my eyes and looked around, but saw nothing. Again, I closed my eyes and took three deep breaths. A chill went through me, and I suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Seriously, this is my moment. Please mr ghost, go bug someone else" I said out loud with a grin. Then a sudden puff of air reached my face, and as I opened my eyes panic punched me in the face. My heart stopped at the sight of the large, red beast before me. It's brown eyes piercing through mine and I fell backwards over the rock in pure shock. After that, it all went black.

As I opened my eyes, my head was throbbing. Where was I? It took a while for me to remember what had happened; on my way to school, sitting down, breathing, large beast... My heart started to pound hard and fast, what had happened? Was I dead? I tried to move my fingers, okay they were stone-cold but I think they moved. My legs likewise, and I could see the now dark sky. What time was it? I have to get up, get home, get help... I really wanted to sit up, but could not. The back of my head was the only part of me that felt warm, and as I drew my fingers through my now messy hair I realized that I was bleeding, pretty badly from the back of my head. So that explains the extreme headache...

I tried to roll onto my side, but my body felt as made of stone, I really could not move. If it was the cold or the head trauma I could not say, some would feel panicked out of their minds in this situation. And sure, my heart was somewhat giving me away... but as I started to feel warm I kind of came to grip with it. I was dying, and it actually felt...nice. I wondered if my mother were to miss me, even though she was the one to send me away and said she never wished to see me again. I reminded her to much of my father, which I never go to meet. I was told he was dangerous, and that he broke my mother's heart.  Right now, I wish I had met him. Since I don't look like mom I must be like him.

As my thoughts went on I started to feel more and more sleepy, and felt the sensation of warmth filling up the whole of me. This was it...

Suddenly a wonderful scent filled my nose, and I could feel hands cupping my cheeks. As I just barely opened my eyes, I saw the most beautiful green eyes looking straight in mine. I felt happy, my dying heart throbbed with sudden found force. Whoever this angel was, I was in love. As my grin faded, and I started to slide out of consciousness my body lifted from the ground and I could hear a vague voice in my ears, sounding like spring, sunshine and fresh air. If this was heaven, I welcomed death...
