     Everything was Perfect. Not too hot or cold. No pain or sadness, not that there should be any. I'm alone and always have been. I opened my eyes just to hear a lullaby my mother once sang. I slowly sang with it. 

     "Don't you fear my dear, for there is light during the night. You are the dove that I will always love. Now sleep and dream as there will always be something downstream." I repeated it each time. I wish mother didn't stop singing to me I loved it. I looked at the light ahead. I seemed so warm and conferring. I took a step towards is just to stop at a cry behind me. "Don't leave me, please. Please don't take her away." 

     Their cries grew louder and louder to the point it hurt my ears. I covered them hoping to drown the noise out. I looked at the light once more. The cries died a little just enough for me to hear the lullaby once more. 

     The sounds came from two different directions. Lullaby the light and the cries from the darkness. I felt something pulling me both ways. One my family and the warmth from the light and the darkness I don't know what it was. I wanted to run and help the person crying to help them with what upsetting them. 

     My heart was into different places one with the person I didn't know and the other where it should be. Each step I took the crying grew more silent. I felt lighter than I ever did until I was no longer touching the ground. Pure white wings sprouted out of my back allowing me to fly into the light. Blinding me.
