Half Dead

The girl

I wake up from the dream of what caused me to get into the situation I'm in, the accident haunting me wherever I went, I can't lay down for more than a minute without replaying every second of what happened.

I just got my driving license a week ago, I already felt all grown up and ready to live my own life though I was just 17. I had my radio full blast playing my favourite Taylor Swift singles while singing along.

I was on my way home from a small party thrown by the school's own drama queen Amelia. I wasn't a party type of girl and I rarely socialised, I only ever talked to one guy his name was Ryan and we were really close, so close that I had a secret crush on him.

I went to the party that night just because I felt like I'm a woman now I should do things like that.

Anyway 15 minutes away from home I noticed that the car behind me had been following me from the party, I'm  pretty smart so I decided to trick this person and take 4 right turns.

I realised that I'm being followed when the same car took 4 right turns too.

That's when I started panicking and drove faster just hoping to get home, but the car behind me just kept speeding up. I kept on turning back or checking the side mirror to see if the car is still there but it never left.

Not paying attention to the road costed me with my life because when I turned back to the road a deer jumped out from the surrounding forests and my attempt to avoid it caused my car to spin put of control and it crashed head first into a tree.

The glass shattered into tiny pieces some falling onto me and cutting me in the process. Everything started getting dizzy and by the time I got the strength to get out of my car, the car that was following us pulled up in front of me the headlights blinding me. 3 figures got out and all I could hear was whispered arguments about who should do it.

One of them started walking close to me and soon I identified her as the almighty Amelia.

I took a breath of relief happy to know it's someone I know disregarding the fact that it was the girl who's always hated me and bullied me.

I started walking towards her but quickly stopped when I realised what she had in her hand. But before I could react she held her hand high and said,"this is for him."

And she pushed the knife into my chest causing more pain to grow, tears started forming in my eyes as I thought how my mother would react to my death.

I pictured her face and replay all the moments I could remember of her telling me she loves me and at that moment I remember my best friends words.

'The moment death hits you, is the moment you discover the one you love the most'

Snap!

I hear the sound of a stick snapping.

I get a nostalgic feeling when I discover my surroundings. Trees everywhere and not a building in sight, though I could still hear the distant noises of traffic.

At that moment the hairs on the back of my neck stand on instinct as I feel something behind me. I turn around to see a very alive girl staring right at me. She had dark brown eyes and dark brown straight hair and a light complextion. I stare at her wondering if she can see me.

I start walking towards her as she stays in the same position but this time looking like she wants to say something but she just can't.

As soon as I'm in front of her I hold out my hand ready to put it through her to see I'm alive again but before I can react she holds it and speaks up.

"Are you alive or half dead?"

I stare at her bewildered and shocked not knowing how to react.

"I don't have all day!" She snaps scaring me at the process.

"Um...I don't know, I thought I was dead but if you can see me doesn't that mean I'm alive now?"I say not entirely sure with myself.

"Your half dead I can see the half people," she answers me."I guide half people back to their concious self but I'm afraid I can't do that anymore," she speaks her tone getting sadder.

"Are you saying I can't go back?" I ask saddened by the news.

"Not entirely, but their might be a way no one has ever tried it because there was an easy way, but now there is only one way to get back, though we need to work together I also need to get back I've been stuck like this for too long."

"Okay but how?"I ask

"We need to communicate with 3 people they need to believe we are there, a guardian, a lover and an enemy" she spoke.

"My mum, Ryan and...Amelia"
