Escaping Death

chapter 2

I knew that there was more that Beani knew, not much at that. but i couldnt ask more questions for awhile, she had a rough night, i did too. Beani was only 8 at my quess and she experienced something in her life at a younge age that brought her to the face death, here. thats as much as i knew but she was a nice girl and she , out of all the elderly people here was the wisest. we became close almost instanty. the morrning after my first night was something i would never forget. the same shock i felft when first arriving here pierced through my chest, waking me up. Beani still lay right next to me. i wasnt sure whether to wake her up her not, my arm reached out and i tapped her shoulder.  she gasped and sat upright, tears flowing down her cheeks. Beani started sobbing  and put her face in her hands. i was shaking, shocked. without thinking i  pulled her into a hug, it sure looked like she needed one. Beani stiffened but then put her head on my shoulder and excepted my hug.  i had no idea what was the matter with her, so i asked, " what happed, are you ok?" i questioned breaking the silence. she pulled away abit and looked down, images of last night flowed through my head. Then she answered,

" everynight im alone and i have these dreams.... i can see none of their faces but they are sad it seems... i myself am laying in a bed as they stare down at me,and they come everyday. they tell me how there day has been and what i have missed, but.... i cant talk back. and it seems like it would make them happy if i would...." her eyes once again filled with tears. " why cant i talk back or... reach out and hold their hand, danny! i-i love them so much! but i cant do anything.... im stuck here..." she put her head on my sholders again. " sometimes i wish i could sleep forever just to listen to them.... but i know the only way to get to them is to get out of the place of fate." beani whispered. she was right. we were both dieing in real life right now, we have to get out of the place of fate before we die completely. I questioned myself if i were part of the reason Beani was crying. i may have woken her up while those people were talking to her, and they seemed important to her. I decieded not to think about it.

 A little while later Beani asked me to go along with her to Ms. keni who apparently was the mature woman i had met when first arriving, just yesterday. I agreed figuring Beani didnt want to be alone. We walked what seemed to be quite awile, Beani arruptly came to a stop and turned left. looking left i saw a building. not any building, not even a mansion could describe it. It was the biggest structure i have ever seen, i dont know  i didnt notice it. she lightly knocked on the door and almost immedietly ms. keni answered and pulled us inside. she invited us to sit down on the couch but beani just stood there which I thought was odd.

" what is your perpose, ms. keni." beani questioned.

" I just needed to talk some business,  if you would please just sit down—

"why should I." beani cut of.

"I can talk perfectly fine standing up." said beani.

" fine if you must do it the hard way..." ms. keni stood up and I saw as she took a knife from her pocket. beani took a step back and I did a well, i was prepared to run.

"you know perfectly well what's going on, beani." ms. keni hissed.

 "wh-at are you doing," i stuttered.

 " That is non of your buisness!" Ms. Keni yelled. Although i had a feeling it was.

Without saying anything Beani lunged forward with intence force and pushed Ms. Keni to the ground. only fro a split second Ms. Keni was shocked. She kneed Beani in the stomach and she winced in pain. What was i to do? why was this happening?

" you dont have to do this-

"you know perfectly weill that i do!" Ms. Keni interupted Beani.

" Why are you doing this!" i managed to yell over all the fighting.

"No time to- Beani dodged a kick with Ms. Keni's highheels involved in it. "explain, ill tell you later!"

" If youre even alive later!" Ms. Keni evily chucked. Ms. Keni then swung the knife and beani managed to dodge but still got a gash on her cheek, blood oozed out of it in no time. Beani showed no sighn of pain and punched Ms. keni in the jaw, Ms. Keni gave her a murderous look. I knew i couldnt just stand there and watch this, something had to be done.
