My lungs needs more air but tiny bits came in every now and then.
The lady behind me laughs, echoing on the houses wall into my ears, making shivers run down my spine.
Where do I go? I search room by room for a weapon. To end this game right here.
"Help!" I scream.
Pain shoots my leg as I land on a rock and slightly twisted my sprained ankle, making me cry aloud.
This game isn't fair.
I'm only 7 and I'm also hurt.
I cast a look behind me and regret it immediately. She was right on my tail.
"Someone please help!" I scream but my voice was getting smaller.
"No one can hear you, my dear," the lady laugh.
I turn around and stop, sick of this unfair game.
"Why do you laugh all the time! Nothing is funny!" I cry, tears pouring down on my face.
She comes up to me and suprisingly hugs me.
"I know, for your hard work, you can get a gift from me," the lady explains.
"What kind of gift?" I wipe the tears off my cheeks, so I don't look wimpy.
"A magic one," she smiles a smile that didn't touch her eyes, "close your eyes and let the magic come to you."
She is going to kill me.
Giving up, I close my eyes waiting for pain but something else comes to me.
A sweetness you can't taste but feel, a blissful touch to it, swarming me.
I feet it go through my body. It tickles. It feels like I was floating as the blissfulness kept swarming me, I could reach the sky even. Swimming in heaven.
And then, it all ended. My feet are planted firmly to the ground.
"There it is bonded tightly," there's that smile again.
"Sweet dreams, dear," she taps my head and light explodes in my eyes.

Vivica. Perfect girl, perfect world.
Popular. Beautiful. Rich.
Everyone loves her.
But she has strange dreams she hasn't told anyone.
She finds out the truth to something and gets twisted.
Her perfectness all gone. No more perfect world, not any sign of it.
In one swift movement of my hand I reached behind Sapphire's neck and released her hair from the low ponytail it was in.
She gasped at my action and looked at me with feverish eyes. I thought I saw the colour gold flicker in her eyes, for a few seconds before I lifted my hand near her face and tucked a strand of her wavy hair behind her ear, before I said:
"I fell in love with you, the first second I saw you reading that Tolstoy book in the library."
She looked up at me, her warm beige skin looked like it was glowing now and she said with pure sincerity in her eyes "per sempre, in ogni dimensione, per sempre in ogni vita, solo tu fino al mio ultimo respiro amore mio"
It meant (Forever, in every dimension, forever in every life, only you until my last breath, my love)
I snaked my hands around her waist and pulled her close to me. Before kissing her the way I wanted to all this time, i looked into her eyes and said "Me too my love, me too."
My first novel is about soulmates. And reincarnation. About, how many bodies a soul has to live in before they finally become their true selves. And before they finally get to be with their soulmate. It's about how love has so many faces. It's about how we never know what roads life will force us to cross. And what emotions we will be gifted to feel. And the things we're blessed with that sometimes we neglect. It's about giving yourself the time to grow and evolve before you give yourself to someone completely. And it's about not to take the love you have in your life for granted.
