"Dan, I don't think you've ever truly lived."
Dan raised his head and stared at her.
She was looking at him.
"The past is the past though, you have to look to the future, " she said quietly.
Dan's eyes lowered.
"There is no future, at least for me, " he whispered.
Dan heard footsteps moving towards him.
He felt a shadow and looked up. She loomed over him her golden, waist-length hair. It swayed with the wind.
Her eyes were unnatural—serpent-like.
She smiled softly and took his hands.
His eyes widened. She pulled him up and she stared up at him.
She placed a hand on his cheek gently.
"Close your eyes, " she whispered.
He didn't.
She smirked.
"You're hard-headed aren't you?" She chuckled.
"I promise I won't bite."
For some reason, a haze came over him and his eyes fluttered shut.
"Don't listen to her, " he heard the voice of his angel, but it sounded so distant.
"Think about her, think about Lily, " she said softly.
