The Devils Son: Afterlife

1. Arrival

Suddenly I wake up but I didn't even know I was sleeping. Immediately I don't recognize anything around me. I look around and it's just a plain white room, almost blindingly white.

I sit up and realize I'm on a blank metal table, naked. What the fuck? As I'm examining myself quickly the door to the room opens in front of me and I immediately try to cover myself.

A tall blond haired man wearing a white button down shirt tucked into his pants walks in. He looks very clean cut and proper.

"Let's see what we got here" he says grabbing a clip board that was hanging from the end of the table. His smile fades into a frown the more he reads, what does it say??

"What is this" I say after a moment of silence. He smiles and looks up at me before beginning.

"Welcome to Heaven, Charolette" he says then puts the clipboard back down.

For some reason what he's saying makes complete sense. For some reason I'm not scared. It feels like I'm exactly where I should be?

"I'm dead?" I ask as he walks over to the wall and presses his hand against it, suddenly this panel opens like a closet door and he grabs a dress on a hanger.

"Unfortunately yes" he says before handing me the dress. I immediately pull it over my head and hand him the hanger.

"Do you remember anything?" He says while examining me

"Am I suppose to?" I say confused. I try thinking as hard as I can but it comes up blank. I honestly don't remember anything.

"Well it's not uncommon for some to forget their past lives after just waking up, bits and pieces may come back over time, sometimes nothing ever comes back" he says giving me a sympathetic smile.

"According to your timeline in your chart you lived to the ripe age of 107, wow" he says impressed.

"what?" I ask looking down at my smooth skin.

"Age isn't a factor here, we stay youthful" he says smiling before coming around the table and helping me down.

"Come on" he says before leading me to the door. As I step out, the room behind us disappears and we are standing on a white floor that goes forever in every direction. I look up and it's just open air. Everything feels so surreal.

"What is this?" I ask as we continue to walk towards nothing, how does he know where he's going?

"This is heaven" he says and suddenly the ground starts turning green and we begin to walk into a field, as trees start to appear. A path begins to appear under our feet and the further we walk the more that begins to appear in the distance.

I start to see small crowds of people forming, they all look so happy, everyone is smiling and laughing. I look around and I can't see one old person, everyone is so youthful around 20-25 yrs old other than the kids running around. A wave of sadness washes over me when I see the toddlers and baby's.

"Charolette" he says and when I look back at him he's stopped a few feet ahead of me with a small group of people.

It takes me half a second before it clicks in my head who I'm looking at. I immediately lunge forward and wrap my arms around Christopher as I cry out of happiness. I can't believe I forgot about him, how could I!? It starts to come back to me and I begin to remember my family. I pull away and hug my crying mother as closely as I can.

After what feels like the worlds longest hug I pull away and it's just now I realize my father isn't with us.

"Where's dad?" I ask looking around
