Crystals of Nevaeh

Chapter two: Death or Life?

As I was fell I felt the adrenaline pumping, unfocused.

She could get hurt or she could die, she's my twin, I'd do anything to make sure she's safe.

My brain could not focus on anything but memories of my sister flitted through my blurred vision. I felt the tears sting my eyes. I didn't care if I lived or if I died; I just hoped I would be able to see her eyes sparkling with life again.

I closed my eyes, reliving our memories together. The intense feeling of calmness that had washed over me was quickly broken by the panic of having the wind persisting repeatedly into my face.

"I don't want to die like this!" Nothing but the wind called back to me. Realisation suddenly hit me. She always depended on me, she cared for me and she loved me for who I was.

I looked down at my hand, the green gem seemed to have crystallised my whole hand. Now it's even more useless.

My eyes dropped downward to see a few animals gathered in a hazy circle. I was falling so fast that I feared I would kill one of them.

"Run please! Do not risk your lives for me! I am not worth it!"

They didn't move. I started panicking so I desperately turned to the glowing crystal embedded into my palm. This crystal started this. Could it end it?

I had to figure out a way to activate the crystal again and I was fast running out of time.

Nothing worked no matter how hard I tried. The ground was so close to my face.

I closed my eyes, accepting my fate.

I should have already hit the ground but when I opened my eyes I found myself in a dimly-lit orange cone shape.

It looked vaguely like a flower just a much larger version. Was this what my afterlife looked like?

I was so quiet and peaceful.

I just sat there, dumbfounded.

A crack appeared in the top of the flower and a small blue hummingbird flew in. I smiled. I loved hummingbirds.

The little bird twittered happily and then to my surprise the flower's petals dropped as if it were in full bloom.

Animals of all kinds were surrounding the flower.

I stared around me. If that was my afterlife then I was grateful of it.
