Annalia's POV
Sitting at the top of the steps, I looked down. Knowing my place in this world finally, I learned I wasn't even part of this world at all. I saw my sister - my twin - crying. My mom, unknowingly sitting next to me. I could hear the music blaring from my brothers room as that was the only way his pain could be numbed. All the sudden there was a flash. I was transported to my death scene, then my funeral, and when I stopped I was shocked. I was standing in front of a gold building. There were butterflys flying all around me and everything seemed peaceful. I was absorbed in my thoughts when a voice brought me back to reality.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
I looked up to see a well built man, probably in his 20s, his hair was black and kinda long. All in all he was hot. I shook my head trying to clear my thoughts.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" The man asked me again.
I finally had found my voice and replied to him. "My name is Annalia. I am here because I'm dead, and I don't know. I was transported here."
The man snapped his fingers twice and a list popped in front of him. I stepped back a little shocked. That was like magic. He glared at me from his spot a few feet away from me.
"Full name, age, and how did you die?" He asked.
I blinked a couple of times then spoke. "My full name is Annalia Berk. I am 17 years old." I stopped and hesitated. I couldn't tell him the real reason I died could I? No. Not a chance. I spoke again, praying he didn't realize the hesitation in my voice.
"I died in a car accident. I was driving and it was rainy... A car came out of nowhere. I guess the impact just killed me."
He nodded his head. I let out a breathe I didn't realize I was holding. He started going through the list and it was like 40 pages long.
I realized this was gonna take a while and started thinking. I really wanted skittles. I dyed my hair blue because I love the blue skittles from the riddles pack so much! I also got some green in my hair because of the green skittles too.
I wondered if the snap thing could bring me skittles..
I was just about to try it when
"Annalia. You are not on this list. Either you are lying about your death or you were sent here by accident. We need to speak to my boss."
I nodded and he snappe his fingers twice. A black, shinny, new car appeared out of nowhere. I gasped a little and then got in. About 20minutes into the drive I realized it was gonna take a while.
I snapped my fingers twice hoping a bag of skittles appeared in my lap.
One snap.
"It's not gonna work" the man said.
Two snap.
BAM. skittles appeared in my lap. I shot him a smug look and realized I didn't now his name. I was with a complete stranger. As I shoved skittles into my mouth I turned to him.
"What's your name an age?"
He looked a little weary to answer. He seemed to have a debate in his head before answering.
"My name is Erik. I'm 20. Happy? Now tell me how did you get the snapping to work for you?"
I shrugged.
"I saw you do it. Not that hard."
He- I mean Erik- glared at me. Finaly stopping the car he got out. Motioning for me to get out. I followed.
Looking up at the black building I couldn't see any windows.
I took a deep breathe. Here goes nothing.
