Autumn stood there staring over her town, her rich brown hair blew as the wind danced. She wondered how she had got her. Dead. It was all a blur. She retreated back to the run down barn she had been staying in.

Midnight struck and a strong wind pushed the door open.

A shadowy man stood there in front of Autumn's dark brown eyes.

"W-h-ho are y-you?"
She asked as fear crawled up her throat making her gulp.

"Don't be scared poor child, I'm here to give you a chance." the voice replied it as deep but soothing.

"What do you mean?" autumn asked hesitantly

" if you can stop your death in an alternate universe than you may return to your life in this universe "
The shadowy man responded

"You never answered my question, who are you?" autumn said with more confidence in her voice.

"Ahh yes the names Virgil, keeper of the gates "

The wind gave a strong howl, it all seemed fake to autumn.

" gates?"

"Yes gates as you know you are dead, but you have not fully left for afterlife. There is no heaven or hell. It's called locus. "

" how do I return to life?"
Autumn questioned

Virgil disclosed, "You ask many questions girl, but to return to the living you must stop one's self from dying "

"I will do it..." autumn muttered unsure of her own decision.

"Well then. Repeat after me,' here these words, here this rhyme, heed the hope inside my mind..., "

Autumn copied " here these words, here this rhyme, heed the hope inside my mind..."

Virgil nodded finishing his sentence " send me to where I'll find, what I wish in place and time"

Autumn copied the strange man if you could call him that?

Out of thin air, A blue triangle appeared with a golden ring around it.

The young girl who was only 15 stood there staring into the unknown.

Virgil spoke " now my child step through, before you go you only have until your 16 birthday to stop your murder. Find who it is and throw this powder on them- "

Virgil handed the girl a bottle with a green powder inside.

" now be gone, good luck on your quest " he finished.

Autumn stepped through the strange portal. All sorts of thoughts running through her mind.

16 the birthday! , that's only 1. Month away.

How am I going to find out?!

Am I dreaming?

I must be dreaming...

It wouldn't make sense.

NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE.
