The Aurora Realm: Reincarnated

Chapter 1: Endings & Beginings

Katie's Point Of View

Two years, I fought two years for custody of my younger siblings and in four months I am going to die. It's because those basterds smoked three packs a day inside the house, I took all five of the little ones the Dr. Jones the next day just to find out that Lucy and Mia were going to die before me. I have to plan three funerals, I still have $200,000 saved from the lawsuit against Joann and Jo, if I do this right I can set up a trust fund for the boys. "Katie, why are we at the doctors?" I turn and look down and I see those sweet little brown and blue eyes, Mia has two different colored eyes, I have always loved those eyes. "We're just getting check up sweetie" I try to put on a smile, but it's hard to do considering the fact I found out I have terminal cancer three hours ago.

I'm debating whether or not to call a social worker or if I should find families for my little brothers myself, paperwork, I need to get the paperwork for the trust funds. The doctors where talking in the halls about me earlier, calling me a "hopeless case", I get it though; who wants to hang out with a dying teenager? They stoped laughing when they had to do tests for cancer on five little kids, they couldn't even look me in the eye, I'm pretty sure that they were interns because they were getting yelled at when I had to tell the girls. But I didn't tell them, I couldn't, so instead, we went to the Apple store and got iPhones and iPads. And I downloaded The Aurora Realm ottoman game that I LOVED!!!

I played it for a while in high school on my friends phones, because she knew I loved that game, but because I was saving up to get custody of my siblings, I couldn't afford a phone. We were taken away by social services a few times, but for some reason those idiots always gave us back. Ella was my best friend (and the only reason why I fought so hard for my siblings), she's in college now though, and she doesn't know that I'm going to die.

4 weeks later

Lucy, Mia, and I started coughing up a little blood last night, I called the doctor last night and she said that it wouldn't be long, but I have about another 2 months. I already found a family for the boys because I didn't want to separate them, they're already losing all of their sisters. The Waters are a really good family, I got the trust funds set up for the boys, they all get access when Jamie turns 18.

1 week later

Lucy and Mia are dying, they can breath on their own right now, it will just be a few hours now. I made a contract with the Waters saying that they cannot have custody until after my funeral, I'm not going to disappear on them, they're going to know what happened. BEEEEEP. I turn around and Mia was gone, the doctors rush in but they only turn off the monitor, the boys look at me with tears in their eyes, I already had the "heaven" talk with them. Another monitor goes off behind me again in, this time it's Lucy and nurse turns it off right away. Two and a half minutes, that's how long between my little sisters deaths, their funerals will be the next day. I told Ella about the cancer. She threatened to kill me for taking so long, but she also agreed to to take the boys to my funeral.

2 days later

The boys wanted to go see their sisters one more time with me, we got them light pink roses. I'm not going to last another week, Ella was pushing me around in a wheelchair right now, there were three headstones; the one in the middle was mine. Lucy's was on the left and Mia's was on the right. I had a bench placed in front of them, I decided to make it like a little joke, it says "Reserved for Shane, Toby, & Jamie Walsh-Waters," but there's a place for four people, so it's like I'll be waiting there for them.

1 day later

I asked for Ella to take be back to see Mia and Lucy, I don't want to die in a hospital and I don't want the boys to see me die. I wanted to just go to sleep on that bench, I knew that I might not wake up this time I know that. I was supposed to have another month left, but now I can barely breathe without going into a coughing fit with blood coming up. I told Ella to just come back in an hour, she didn't need to see it either, she was my best friend since kindergarten. It started getting harder and harder to open my eyes when I blinked, I finally just decided to not open them again and everything just, stoped. It was dark but, warm, like a hug, all I could think was, "Did I just wake up at my fucking funeral?!!?!?"
