CHAPTER 34

The words that her mother spoke touched her heart, but her hatred and loathness for the people who hurt her was worse, a part of her mind wondered who she was becoming, she wasn't like this, and that's when Hazel realized the world changes you... it makes you numb, you dive into the pain and forget who you were originally, Hazel gulped as she heard her own thoughts.

She looked at her mom 'Where am I?'

She smiled, 'This is neither the world nor heaven, it is ... something in between, a bridge to the worlds... a place where neither one is alive or dead, you can call it a waiting room'

'You..?

'I am dead, Hazel darling, I came here for you, I will soon be going back... to my world and you to yours'

'You mean I am not dead?'

'That seems to be the case, you almost reached the gates... of the... next world... but looks like you still have business in the world'

Hazel muttered 'I am sorry, I didn't mean for you to die, I didn't want...'

Her mother cut through her.

'You couldn't do anything... It was meant to be Haze, you can not stop fate, nor the god... and I need you to understand that... Hazel when you were in the car with me and you asked where we were going and I told you don't ask, did you call the police? were you afraid I would kill or kidnap you? No, it was because you trust me, you trust the driver, and the god is the driver of our life, he will take you on a bumpy road but you need to trust that the destination will be good, you trust him, the maker of the worlds, So, Hazel dear I want you to trust him, he may show hard times but he has something more then your expectations, god is full of surprises, you will expect a hundred dollars, he will give you millions, you will expect rue friends, he will give you family and all he asks is you trust and patience, Don't fail this test he inflicted on you, he always tests his beloved'

Hazel felt a door opening in her heart... a thing which she couldn't explain, her mom's words gave her goosebumps and she realized that they were indeed true, the pain will end, the test will finish and she needed to win, she needed to be victorious.

She looked at her mom and... there was no one, Hazel stood up and spun wildly on the pot, she spotted the locket lying on the bench and the second as soon as she picked it up, she felt the ….world spin and she blacked out.
