Fallen Angels
You slowly open your eyes and stand up. Surrounding you is blackness. In front of you is a white door and a light is glowing faintly around the edges. Behind you is a red door with red glowing around the edges. Your heart is telling you one thing while your head is telling you another. You desperately fight against the current dragging you to the white door. You want to go there but know you can't. You can somehow sense the people you will be leaving behind if you follow your head and go through the bright white door.
Eventually, not having the strength anymore, you give in and walk to the white door and open it, instantly being blinded by a white light. When you finally squint your eyes open you gasp. Before you, in an infinite blank space, are all you favorite deceased book characters. Tears fill your eyes as you take a step forward, trying to take it all in. Then a little girl appears in front of you.
"Hi!" She says, "My name is Prim."
"Where am I?" You ask. She smiles slightly before answering.
"This is the place for fallen angels. Here, let me introduce you." She grabs your hand and drags you over to a group of people. "This here is Fred." She says pointing to a red-haired teenager. You shake your head in disbelief as your eyes travel the rest of the group. In it are Sirius, Remus, Tonks, Mad-Eye, Dobby, Cedric, Colin, Lily, James, Snape, and Dumbledore.
"Ah, I presume you know us?" Dumbledore asks gently. You nod your head, words failing you as you run to Fred and hug him. He's taken aback before trying to comfort you.
You step back and tell him, "You dont how much you're missed." You address the group now, "All of you. I-" This time you're crying tears of happiness. Prim gently leads you to another group.
"So you know everyone here?" She asks conversationally. You nod again before you reach the second group. This time you see Rue, Finnick, Annie, and Katniss's dad.
"Rue!" You shout. "Katniss won by the way." You say to her. "And Peeta. Both of them. They beat the capitol." Rue smiles before you are once again dragged away to another group. Your eyes fall on Tris first and then you dissolve into tears before getting any farther. Prim brings you away saying that you can come back later to say hi. Shakily you start walking to be greeted by a lone figure. He's sitting down and when he turns around you gasp and cover your mouth.
It is Agustus Waters.
You smile when you realize he still has his fake leg and a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, still sporting that wide goofy grin. You laugh, "Heaven doesn't have enough money to buy you a new leg?" He shrugs.
"Well, apparently the world, or in this case heaven, is not a wish granting factory. I was right by the way. There is something after death. And apparently I was remembered." Then he turns serious, "Do you know if she read it?" He asks. You only nod, your eyes misting with tears again. He nods to himself, "Good. And did she answer? What did she say?" You smile slightly before whispering,
"Okay."
