Chapter 2

I saw the light coming towards me. It's so bright I had to cover my eyes to stop it from burning them to blindness. The next thing I saw was my grandmother smiling wide and holding her arms open for a hug. I run to her for the long awaited embrace. We didn't say a thing for awhile just enjoying each others hugs.

My gran died about 9 years ago during her sleep. Heart attack. I never new my granddad. He died before I was born. Me and gran were very close. Trying to spend as much time together as possible. One day she was there talking to me on the phone and the same day she was gone.

"What are you doing here child? You're to young to be here!" She told me with sadness yet happiness in her voice.

"That's the thing gran, I don't know. Where is here exactly?" I asked looking around me but only seeing bright lights all around me.

"At the doors of heaven my child. If you are here it means you died. But I want to know how?" She asked sadness covering her eyes.

"I-I died???? Oh gran! How did this happen to me? What will mom do if I'm not there??? And dad??? No no no! Gran what do I do???" I ask crying like a maniac.

"Well my child, embrace the light and believe your mom and dad will be okay without you there. Come with me and I will show you the beauty of heaven." She says smiling with excitement.

"I'm sorry Grandma, but I can't yet. I need to make sure mom and dad are fine. And....I need to find out what happened to me! Other wise I can NEVER move on and be at peace. It will haunt me forever. Please wait for me. I will be back soon. And tell granddaddy I can't wait to officially meet him. I love you gran. See you soon."

The light disappeared suddenly and I'm left alone in a dark forest around me.
