Oc Stories

Afterlife? {Normal AU}

Trigger warning. It does talk about close death and freaking out slightly about being dead. And also slightly made up afterlife. So uh yeah I guess they can be triggers so! Also a character goes into a coma so. Yeah. Fun.

Light.
That's all Alex could see.
A big bright light at the end of what seems to be a corridor.
He looked down at himself and blinked.
He wore a neat white shirt and tight grey pants. His curly brown-red hair tied back out of his face. His shirt unbuttoned slightly exposing his chest but.
Unlike before. He was flat.
Nothing was there he was. Flat.
He moved his hand to his chest, wide eyed.
He took a deep shaky breath as he looked around.
"Where... Am I?" he whispers to himself.
He walks down the corridor, shielding his face from the bright light as he gets closer and closer to it.
Until.
The bright light becomes a beautiful forest everywhere.
The grass a luscious green colour with flowers and bushes and trees full of life and colour. A gravel path leading deeper into the beautiful wild forest.
He watched as a squirrel rushed up the tree with a nut in mouth.
He let out a quiet laugh, stopping as a bird landed on his head, hopping onto his shoulder.
He stared at the bird, wide eyed, before realization.
The bird looked exactly like his little sisters pet before she was killed.
".... Kiki used to have a bird like that..." he whispered.
He kept walking, following the path with the bird on his shoulder, watching wildlife roam around with no care in the world.
Everything seemed.
Well.
Calm.
He took a deep shaky breath as he grew closer to a small clearing, music heard.
A music box?
He pushes past some bushes, the bird flying off of his shoulder right over to a little girl who was dancing.
She wore a beautiful long golden dress, different layers going from light to dark. Elbow length dark silk gloves. Long red-brown hair and big brown eyes. Darkish skin.
His.
It was his sister.
Alex stared, his eyes wide in shock, his hand resting on his chest.
"A... A... Is.. That... You Kiki?..."
The girl stops dancing, turning her head to look at him, blinking "Alex?"
They stand there, staring blankly at each other.
She looked about 8-10.
"K-Kiki..." he whispers, tears falling down his face "It... Really is you..."
"Alex... Why are you here?" she frowns "Hades said I have to wait a long time for you to come here! Then I can meet your lady friend one day!"
"Lady frie-... Wait- Hades is here too? He's alive!?"
"..." Kiki gives him a sad smile "You... Really don't know where you are?"
Alex pauses "What?"
Kiki skips over to him, holding his hand against his chest "... Can you feel anything?"
Alex stays silent as he feels his chest, his eyes wide.
There's not a single beat there.
"Ki-Kiki- am I-"
"You're dead, Alex. Like us!" she smiles brightly "You're with us both now!"
Alex stares in horror, his mouth open in complete and utter shock.
He's dead.
He.
He's fucking dead.
He told M'jall he wouldn't leave her.
And worst of all?
He didn't get to confess properly.
He had that necklace on him and now.
He can remember.
-
Kristoph was holding him, trying to heal his wounds.
"ALEX- ALEX-" he had yelled.
"I CAN FIX THIS-"
Dean was screaming, sobbing about how sorry he was.
He remembered going limp and the journey to the village.
He remembered Pattie holding his face, telling him she'd get M'jall.
Then.
Everything went dark.
And then light.
Everything was...
-
Alex threw himself back, his eyes wide "NO- I-I CAN'T BE DEAD- KIKI IT ISN'T TIME I-I CAN'T-"
"But... Alex don't you want to stay with us...?"
"I-I-" he freezes, tears streaming down his face.
Here he has the body he's always wanted.
Here he has the siblings he's missed all his life.
Here he has the chance to get to know them all over again.
Here he has the chance to be happy.
Here he has the chance to miss out on so many memories with M'jall.
And he WON'T waste that.
He refuses to.
"I love you" he whispers, grabbing his sister and hugging her "I-I love THIS place I-I... Just... Can't" be whispers.
She's silent as she hugs her brother, hiding her face in his chest "Mm... But I'll miss you. Besides I doubt you can come back. You're dead."
"But- but isn't... There anyway I can go back?"
"I don't kn-"
Suddenly Alex gasps, his hands flying to his chest, crying out. His eyes wide.
"Alex?!"
He looks up at Kiki, Suddenly everything starting to fade.
Alex's eyes widen.
"Y-You're breathing- TELL M'JALL I SAY HELLO!"
"NO- WAIT I NEED TO SAY GOODBYE I NEED TO SEE HADES GIVE ME MORE TI-TIME I-"
He watched as everything faded to black.
And then.
It was if he was asleep again.

The doctor gasped, looking at Alex's limp body as he glances at the 'monitor' (it's not a monitor but something like it)
The flat line going back up.
The nurse lets put a relieved gasp as she looks down at the young mans limp bloody body.
"He's... He's stable."
"Right... Update the family and friends. He... Tell them he is in a coma. More signs in the upcoming days and weeks... Hopefully" he mumbles as he walks out, taking his gloves off.
The nurse quickly fixes the oxygen tubes, cleaning up his face and adjusting his hospital gown, frowning worriedly before walking outside the room over to M'jall, Kristoph, Momo and Dean.
"He's stable."
Dean lets out a relieved gasp, bursting into tears as he clings to Kristoph "IT'S ALL M-MY FAULT HE'S GO-GONNA HATE ME- I S-SWEAR I-I'M SO-SO SORR-"
He sobs harder as Kristoph hugs him tightly, looking at the nurse sadly.
Momo is sobbing, holding Dean's hand tightly, baby Miku and Clara in her other arm.
She came as soon as she heard.
Left Layla with Kiro and Teddy.
M'jall just wailed, being held up by Pattie, who was reassuringly stroking her hair, shushing her softly, wiping blood off of her hand from attempting to do CPR on Alex as they got into the hospital.
"But... I do have bad news. Alex is in a coma."
As soon as the words escape the nurses mouth.
M'jall collapses, loud sobbing echoing through the pure white halls.
And she doesn't stop for a long time. Pattie sat on the floor, embracing her tightly, stroking her hair and shushing her softly.
Dean had just.
Passed out.
Everything so overwhelming.
His sister had almost died.
His best friend had almost died.
His sister had babies.
His mom is still gone.
His best friend sacrificed himself for him.
And now his best friend was in a coma all because of him.
