 “Sebastian…”

“Honey, it’s us….”

Sebastian opened his eyes and blinked. All around him was dark and no matter how hard Sebastian tried, he could not see a thing. He felt as if he was floating; light and weightless. He was also feeling oddly drained, not having enough energy to panic, to question where he was and why he was here. He wanted to sleep. So badly, at that.

“Sweetie…”

There was that voice again. It sounded feminine, its tone soft and warm. Sebastian slowly turned his head towards it.

“Sebastian…”

There was another voice. It was masculine but holding the same warmth as the previous voice did. It also came from the same direction. Sebastian blinked multiple times when he saw a patch of white light somewhere in the distance. It started out as faint and flickering, but it began to grow brighter until Sebastian was no longer in the dark. The surroundings became bright and now, Sebastian could clearly see two figures standing not too far away from him.

“Who are you?” he asked.

There was no answer. Sebastian strained to see who the figures were, trying his best to focus. There was a brief moment before the figures started to look clearer. Sebastian could now tell that there was a man and a woman. The woman had long wavy brown hair, creamy skin and very gentle-looking blue eyes. The man was a head taller than her, with black hair that had been cropped short, slightly tanned skin and familiar-looking green eyes.

It took Sebastian a minute, but his eyes widened as soon as he knew.

“Mom…Dad…” he breathed.

His parents smiled softly at him. His mother went nearer to Sebastian and before he could say anything, he was suddenly enveloped into a warm hug. His mother kissed his cheek before pulling him closer, patting his back. “My darling boy…”she cooed. “We miss you,”

Sebastian’s father, too, approached the pair and wrapped his arms around them both. “We really do, Sebastian,” he said. Sebastian remained still, too shell-shocked to say anything. But he could feel tears gathering in his eyes and threatening to fall. His throat started to feel tight. He could feel a sob trying to rise out of it.

“I…” he choked. “Mom…Dad…why…?”

His mother turned her head to look at him. She was smiling but her eyes were sad. She stroked his cheek lovingly before she began to speak. “I’m sorry we left you so abruptly,” she whispered. Her voice was oddly distant despite the fact that she was hugging him close. It sounded like an echo in a cave; loud but fading away soon after. His father looked at him, his lips stretched into a thin line before they curved into a tiny sad smile. “Son, you’re doing so well without us…You’re stronger than we thought,” he said, ruffling his hair.

The pair released Sebastian from their embrace. Sebastian looked on in confusion when they shared a look and faced him, their expressions shadowed and hesitant. His mother bit her lip. “We have to go, sweetie…I’m sorry,”

“What?”

His father looked at him and reached out to ruffle his hair. “We’ll always be watching over you…”

Sebastian found himself shaking his head. “No,” he said softly.

“My darling boy…” his mother whispered one more time before his parents started to fade, their figures becoming more translucent with each passing second.
