I don't know how it happened, I don't remember when I fell. I don't know how it's possible. It was just on a camping trip, It was so peaceful, the air was crisp and clean. I felt the wind brush against my cheek, the clouds were grey, but I didn't know if there'd be rain or not. I was going for a hike, I was a little less than a mile away from camp. I had been walking back to camp at sunset when I dropped my flashlight. The hill wasn't at all steep, nor were there any trees in the way, just a small clearing at the bottom of a hill. I had walked down ever so slowly. I picked up my flashlight, and clicked it on. The batteries had fallen out.
"Shit" I had said. looked over to see the batteries at the starting of another hill. Sadly it was a ledge made up of loose rocks. I walked over to it, when a rock on the edge gave out under me. It seemed so stupid right? A girl getting batteries from the edge of a steep hill of rocks, and she falls. I didn't tumble too far, I had a bruise or two on my knees, and my jacket was covered in mud. I stood up, cursing myself. My knees were throbbing, but I'd be fine right? I had stood up and again headed along what looked like a small path. That'd get me SOMEWHERE at least. I limped wiping dirt and leaves off of me. I wasn't too dirty, just annoyed I had to leave my jacket behind. Who would think I would be walking into a trail of unfortunate events, event's that would lead to my demise. I walked along that trail not noticing the bones that were scattered along the side of the trail. I was so blind, and so stupid. I reached a large clearing, and looked around. There was nowhere to go. I had cursed to myself, but was interrupted by a loud growl. I turned around to see a bear prowling towards me. Like I said, my events after my tumble were most unfortunate. I should have remembered there were signs along the road that spoke of bears. I tried not to scream, I backed up slowly, trying to maneuver around it. It snarled ferociously, baring it's large teeth at me. I gulped, and decided to make a run for it.
The creature lurched at me, I dodged barley. Being the idiot I had been I turned to face the bear after picking up a large stick. I had to make it somewhat fear me, so it wouldn't chase me. I lifted the stick in defense. It's large paws knocked the stick away, and it growled at me. All I could do now was back up. It ran at me, I blinked for a split second and then felt the most excruciating pain I had ever felt in my entire life. It's claws grazed my abdomen. I screamed out in agony, and fell backward. Blood was seeping from the wound, if that bear had been any closer my innards would have been falling out. I looked at the bear in horror. I saw a rock beside me, I reached for it, and chucked it at the bear. The rock hit it straight in the nose. I jumped up weakly and made a blind run for it. I was panting before I had truly started running. I brushed branches away I dodged rocks. I was getting closer to the mountain range, my dad loved camping close to them. I was soon climbing uphill, slipping on the dirt, and not being able to cling onto the rocks of the mountain. I kept pulling myself up and up. I felt the dirt disappear and slowly just become hard rock. My legs had turned to gelatin, my abdomen was throbbing and aching. My eyes had started to roll. I saw a black opening in front of me and I went towards it. All I remember was my blurry vision, and how I had crawled into a cave, panting, my breaths shaky and tired, my limbs and muscles aching. I had leaned up against the wall and just sat there blankly for god knows how long. I was cold, alone, and dying.. The sad thing is..
There's Nobody out here to save me..
My head was aching, the rock supporting my skull wasn't exactly a feather pillow. I knew this was my end, the severity of my wound was too great, it was impossible to live now. The throbbing pain of my wound had become bearable by now, it was just there, numbly. My eyes started to flutter, but I knew I wasn't finished yet. I sat here, propped up against the cave walls, looking around. This is where I was to finally rest, so young, with no experience with life. I closed my eyes, waiting for my spirit to just wither away, until I heard a sound. I turned my head to look outside the cave. I saw spots appearing on the rock in front of the cave. Rain.... A minute ticked by and it started pouring, I could hear the trees swaying from afar, I could hear the rain tap against the thick rock of the mountains. The rains fragrance filled my nostrils, I took it in with a dying heart. I wasn't yet smiling.. I would miss the rain, my friends, the artwork, the music.. I was not ready to go into the Eternal Darkness I was to face. I watched the rain fall, no thunder, no lightning, just the tender sound of the sky crying. Maybe it was mourning me, or feeling sad. I was to go nowhere, I believe in Hell, but no Heaven. Maybe I was to go to a void in between, where I would walk aimlessly for eternity. I coughed up blood it splattered onto the cave floor, and seeped into the puddle of blood that was protruding from my abdomen. I sighed, using the hand that wasn't putting pressure on the wound to wipe the blood away. I again looked out the cave entrance, and watched the rain fall. It was on it's way, my Death was nearing. I got comfortable, wincing from my wound. I sat there in thought, waiting for my eyelids to fall for the last time. In these moments I thought of my two best friends, Roni and Elisia. The Days I met them, the times they came over, the characters we made. The Anime's we watched and the video games we played. It hurt to think about them, and I could feel my eyes watering. The rain picked up. I could feel small droplets of rain brush against my face, the drops started to melt in with the tear cascading down my face. I let a small smile peek through at the edge of my lips. A smile not even large enough to show off my dimples. I felt my heart rate picking up, my breaths were shallow, I tried to keep them calm. I wish I could see my two best friends now, they're smiles, feel they're tight warm hugs, listen to their soothing voices. God I'd do anything to have them here with me. I want them here, and I know they're probably waiting for me at home, not knowing I'm lost and dying. I hope they stay happy. Even as I fade away, I'm still happy I get to see the Rain one last final time. I'm happy I got to live good memories before My soul left me. My heart started to slow. I let my eyelids fall, the tear on my cheek fell into my blood. It was over. The smile on my face was still there when I looked at the rain and closed my eyes for the last time..
