I hope you all enjoy this chapter! x

The water hit my skin like a thousand sharp knives. Chills ran down my spine as a muffled scream left my lips, precious oxygen floated up in wobbly bubbles. I snapped my mouth close in an attempt to keep out the water, but i had no actual practice in swimming or holding my breath underwater.. i knew that soon enough though, it would start gushing in through my nose and mouth. My flailing limbs helplessly grasped for anything, but i was left with nothing. I didn't know which way was up or which way was down, the world around me was getting darker as my body became more and more numb. This was it. I was going to die at the hands of someone i had barley known for a week. The thing they say about your life flashing before your eyes? that was a myth. The only thing i could think about now as the water slowly trickled up my nose was my future, things that i wouldn't be able to do now that my short life was coming to its end. Find a love who would spoil me and make me happy.. have children, and watch them grow old.. say goodbye to Anna.

Oh my sweet baby, forgive me.

I had stopped wriggling now. I was just floating carelessly in the water. Its icy hands caressing my body into an endless sleep. Darkness pricked at my eyes, slowly at first until finally everything went black.

Am i dead?

A bright light flashed, blinding what i believe to have been my eyes. All though, i didn't really know.. was i still a person.. i didn't feel like one. I feel like nothing, yet at the same time i feel rejuvenated.

... was this heaven?

The bright light dimmed enough for me to be able to see, i was in a white room. I turned in a large circle. It was then i realized i was standing. There was nothing but white, white everywhere.

Slowly but surely, i flexed what i thought to be my hands. I felt something, it was an odd feeling.. like a dream almost. I raised my hands to my face, and sure enough.. there was sensation.

What is this? whats happening to me?

"bell.."

A sweet melodic voice called out, echoing around me. I recognized that voice.. i recognized that nickname.

"......mom?"

"My sweet bumble-bell.."

Her soft voice sound by my ear, and a warm breath tickled my neck. I turned around as fast as i could in the odd state i was in.

And there she stood, tall and beautiful. Her long blond hair cascading down to her hips, daisies and other sweet flowers braided amongst her golden locks. She was dressed in a long white robe, that flowed down to the ground and pooled around her feet.

I peered up at her face through my lashes, she looked youthful.. but was still graced by faint laugh lines. Evidence of her gentle and loving nature. She had and almost warm glow to her. Nevertheless, this radiant woman was my mother.

""Mommy.. is that you? .." Tears welled in my eyes as she nod her head and gave me a small smile.

I ran into her arms, everything forgotten. Again, i didn't feel her physically embrace me .. but i felt warm and comfortable, and that was enough.

"I've missed you Mom, so so so much" I attempted to hug her tighter.

"and i, you my bumble-bell .. but we do not have time for re-unions, I'm here to warn you

to tell you what i failed to tell you before death beckoned me"

" wheres daddy? .." I looked around her, but there was only the two of us in this white oblivion.

" He isn't able to take physical form as a lambent spirit..it's not in his.. nature.. but i assure you he safe and happy.. we mustn't worry about him for the moment, you will meet again child.. when your time has come. And that time is not now. "

"So i'm not dead then?"

" no my sweet child, not yet.. but your physical body is dying so we must hurry.

This is not real, you are not in heaven, i have called you're spirit to meet me in the wake.

This is mutual territory, not heaven nor hell. This is all going to sound very confusing now, but fear not.. you are a strong and powerful young women. I know you can overcome anything.

There is more out there than you could ever imagine, things that you would believe did not exist.

When you finally come to face to face with these things, you mustn't worry. You my child, are not who you think you are, you are very very special..half and half, a gift from the godess and because of this, you are in grave danger. I cannot go into to detail, all i can say is that your mind and body will be going through a change.. a great change. The day you meet your your other half, will be the day it all begins. All i can say now, is trust yourself, and let these changes happen.. do not fight what is meant to be fate, as scary as it maybe.. child, do not fight it.."

By the end of her speech, I was beyond shocked and utterly confused. Soul mate? Fate?

She was grasping my hands in hers, and holding me close to her, gentle eyes now wide with urgency. I let what she had said sink in, but nothing had made sense. I swallowed a hard lump in my throat.

I had no words to reply, i opened my mouth and nothing came out. I think she realized this.

"Oh my bumble-bell, im sorry to have put this pressure on you now but it was necessary you knew this... you must talk to Maria, she will be able to tell you more.. answer the questions you wish to know, shed light on this situation and bring you clarity"

Maria? so Maria had something to do with this also? -

My thoughts were cut of, when a pain blossomed in my chest. I gasped, and fell to my knees.

"Whats going on - Mum?

ahhhh ..."

My mother looked down at me, worry written all over her features. She closed her eyes and she pressed her fingers to her temple, a look of concentration of her face. After a few moments her eyes snapped open. Again she gazed down at me sympathy in her eyes, she fell to her knees next to me, and caressed what was supposedly my face.

"You are dying, my love.. "

The pain in my chest grew as the fear grew in me also. I'm going to die again? Oh my gosh im going to experience death again. But.. mum said..

"But - but - Mum you said... it wasnt my .. tim - was all this ... - for nothing? .. - ahhh! - Mum .. you said - "

"yes darling.. i know what i said .. but your body is dying on Earth."

I looked up at my mom, a tear trickling down her face.

" But i wont allow this too happen, you will not die on my watch."

She bent down to give me a kiss, warmth erupted on my face. Before it disappeared again.

The pains were getting worse, and my screams louder.

"I will make the pain go away My bumble-bell .. you will live on"

I watched as she placed her hand over her heart and chanted words i could not understand.

A bright light appeared under her hand, and the pain in my chest faded. My mothers once gentle features twisted into a look of agony. She chanted again, one word

Quintessence. Before the bright light swallowed her, form.

"Mom?!" I called for her but, i was alone. I cried out, confused.. and upset.

Slowly, my vision faded also. But not to black this time, too white.

Just before my airy form left this oblivion, a soft echo drifted through my ears.

"until we meet again my child, i love you "
