Terra's POV
unedited
~~~~~~~~
I can't believe I'm actually going to do this. I can't believe I actually listened to this crazy bîtch and now we're doing this.

We're walking in the the Forest.
I honestly thought Kayla was kidding and forgot about the idea.

I was wrong.

The moment I was about to walk into school, my arm was viciously yanked and pulled towards the side of the building. Kayla is really strong.

Ten minutes of arguing and about 35 profanities later and here we are...
Walking through this damned Forest.

It's actually kind of nice. Beautiful even. Peaceful. I don't understand what that creepy guy was going on about. This forest isn't what he made out to be. I could be wrong though...

We continued to walk around the forest for about twenty minutes before I heard a grunt and a thump.

I hope she didn't...

Looking over my shoulder, I turned to see my best friend is gone. Now, where the hell could she have gone??

"Kayla? Where'd you go?" I asked out loud. No response.

I yelled to the sky again and this time, the only response I got was birds leaving the trees. Maybe I was little too loud. This is becoming scary and I'm worried.

"Dammit, Kayla come out so I can kill you! Don't die yet!" I shrieked. I still got no response.

Oh hell no. This is not how she was supposed to die. We promised each other that we're going to die together after we killed someone. If she goes down, so do I. I guess you can say we're typical best friend goals. Besides the killing thing. That's on our bucket list. We won't be able to complete this list if this dumb bitch dies.

Turning around, I decided to go back and see if she had gotten lost. I hope she did because if I find her I'm going to end her for scaring me.

I walked for only five minutes before I heard muffled screaming. Oh, I wonder who that could be?

No, I seriously wonder.

Coming up ahead was what seemed like a giant hole in the earth. That wasn't there before...

I walked up to it and decided to look in.

I found her.

There she was...Kayla Tate.

Holy fûck...what the hell did I just walk into?

Looking down into this hole that was so black it seemed endless, I see my best friend staring up at me with a frantic look.

Like I said...this dumb bîtch.

"Kay, what the hell happened?? Why are you in this hole?" I yelled.

"I don't know," Kayla replied as she glanced around at her surroundings.

"One minute I'm walking behind you, another minute and I'm not behind you, and the next minute the ground beneath me is swiped out from under me and I'm in a hole! Get me the hell out of here!"

By now, Kayla is already well deep into hysterics and I'm well deep into laughter.

"Okay, okay! I'm going to get you out...after I take this picture." I sighed while I pulled out my phone and took multiple pictures.

What?
I couldn't just pass this golden opportunity up.

"Terra!! Get me OUT of here!" She screamed making me jump and stumble. I caught my footing just in time before slipping in.

Whoa. That was close.

Getting down on my front side, I reached in as best as I could and told Kayla to grab onto me as I pull.

Obviously you can see that that wasn't a good idea being that I have no upper body strength.

And Kayla's a cow.

Long story short...I fell in...face first.

Oomph...that hurt.

"Oww! I get the whole part of you falling in, but did you have to fall on me?" Moaned Kayla. She held her arm and shook her head trying to not see stars.

Oops. My bad.

"Well, sorry for trying to be a hero and rescue you. I thought I was doing a pretty good job too." I huffed. She's so ungrateful.

"Yeah, you were doing good until, you know..you fell in!! Now, we're both stuck in this creepy hole!"

"Oh, can it! I'm sure if we think this out thoroughly, we can figure something out."
Getting up, I brushed myself off and looked around the hole.

Something's not right about this hole.
It doesn't seem like it should be here.

I moved to one corner of the hole and brushed my fingers against the wall.

It was cool to the touch, but that wasn't what scared me.

It was a hole in the earth, yet this was no dirt. It felt like some type of metal.

That didn't scare me.

No, that didn't scare me at all.

What scared me was the zap of electric shock I felt and the scream of my best friend from me behind.

What scared me was when I turned around, Kayla was floating away from me.

What scared me was that the hole was no longer black, but a blinding white. It glowed.

Gasping, I tried to run towards her only to realize I was floating too in this white space.
What the hell was actually happening?

I moved forward as if I was swimming and grabbed Kayla's hand as she continued to scream.

"Terra! What's going on? I didn't sign up for this shît!" She finally said after screaming for a full two minutes.

"I-I don't know, Kay! I don't fûcking no! What do we do?"

What do we do? The white space only seemed to be getting brighter and I'm finding it harder to breathe.

"T-Terra! I-I can't b-breathe! I-I can't.." Kayla choked.

Oh God! Someone please help us!

I tried to reassure her. To tell her we will be fine, but that would be a lie. I don't even know what's going to happen next and right now, I can't even breathe.

Looking around me, I saw nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Turning my head back to my sister only caused everything to blur. My head was pounding I couldn't tell left from right.

When things finally focused, Kayla's eyes were closed.

Oh shît.

I shook her hand trying to get some reaction out of her. Any reaction.

She wasn't moving. She wasn't fücking moving and I felt like I was about to die.

"I-I'm so sorry, Kayla." I choked out. The pain of speaking was excruciating.

I'm so, so sorry.

The white space started to glow brighter and Kayla's body was becoming just a blur.

I love you, Kayla.

I closed my eyes and squeezed Kayla's limp hand tightly as the another wave of pain flowed through me until I couldn't think anymore and blackness soon blanketed over.

The last thing I heard was loud shouting of several male voices.

I hope those are some hot male Angels...

Black.

That's all I saw.
Black.

Am I dead?

Probably...

It wouldn't really matter. No one would miss me.

No one ever misses me.

Ever.

A loud ring startled my inner monologue and light shot through my darkness.

With a jolt, I looked up and saw that I was no longer in that white empty hole..or space. I'm not really sure.

What surrounded me now was rows of desks filled with kids that were packing up and leaving.

What the hell...

My mind was still wrapping around the fact that I was no longer in the Forest and no longer dying.

Wait.

WHERE THE HELL IS KAYLA?!

Jumping up from my seat I turned and tried to run when I immediately felt of wave of nausea and grabbed onto the desk for support.

That desk happened to be holding my knocked out sister, Kayla.

Oh, thank God. She's alive.

I smacked her on the back of the head and she woke up with a start.

"Ughh..what the-Terra? My God, Terra!!" Kayla murmured. She stood up with a slight wobble and grabbed onto me. Hugging me tight.

Oh, Kayla.

"I thought I lost you, T! I was so scared!" She sobbed into my neck.

I didn't reply, but only held her tighter.

I thought I lost you too.

"Kay-,"

"Girls, can you please move it along? You're going to be late to your next class and don't sleep in my class." The teacher piped in with a hard stare.

Forgot we were still in class.

Kayla and I walked out into the hall already knowing we were going to be late to class we decided to head out to the football field and watch the players practice.

When we sat down on the bleachers at the very top, we sat in silence collecting our thoughts.

Kayla was the first to speak.

"Okay, what the fûck was that, T? What happened?" She glanced at me for a second before turning back around to the field.

"I don't know, Kay. I'm just as confused as you are....I don't know." I mumbled.

Kayla sighed before asking a question I kept asking myself.

"Why did we end up back here at school?"

I thought about this the moment I woke up and realized I wasn't dying, but still going to Hell.

I don't even know myself at this point.

"Honestly, Kayla, let's just forget about this for today and save it for tomorrow. I just want to sit back and be happy that you're alive. I thought you were gone forever. I thought we were gone forever."

I sat back and just looked at the football players tackle each other for small ball as my mind went aloof. I just don't want to think.

After a moment, Kayla sat back too and joined me in my peaceful state.

Together we sat and let time fly by.

One thought kept crossing my mind though.

Who were those voices I heard and why did they sound familiar?

END OF CHAPTER 4

I'm such a procrastinator.

In all honesty I did start this chapter a long time ago. I just never got around to finish it.

Today, for once I had time and decided I would restart and finish.

Sorry again for the long wait.

Bye for now!
