She has been strong for o long and she can't take it anymore. Raising her head she cleaned her tear-stricked face with her hand and said, "father I'm here again......father hasn't it been so long" she sniffles " don't you miss me dad" she broke into tears again and said, her voice muddled and unclear "please dad I need you" she pulled a strained smile " see dad, I'm all grown up. Don't you wanna see how I looked..maybe I.." She Gabe a light pained chuckle " maybe I look like mum". She then continued " tell me dad, tell me what I need to do to make it better. To make everything better" she started crying and lowered her head in between her arms and a muffled voice rang again, more pained " someone please tell me".
Her head was still lowered and her shoulders shaking, when a gust of wind blew softly, lightly fluttering the curtain as it passed. As it blew past Selena her hair fluttered softly and settled and suddenly, her head shot up .She looked ahead as if dazed and she softly whispered, more like to herself than anyone. " I know" and her voice turned barely a whisper." I know what to do".
And very fast after looking once more at her dad. She bolted out of there leaving the flowers she brought for her dad, beside him on the bed.

Now on the roof top of the hospital care center with the wind blowing, making her hair flutter lightly.
Once she came put of the room, she crossed the corridors and walked up the remaining plight of stairs to the roof top where she us now.
The soft whispers carried by the breeze sang in her ears. She was half sure she didn't know what she was doing, but something told her she had to. She knew what she was doing, she chanted in her head as she reached the edge of the roof. She claimed the last barrier blocking anyone from an easy fall. Looking down she realized she was really high up. Bit she couldn't back out now. She turned around still on the barrier. Its better she doesn't look down. She thought to herself all will be well. Her dad will be taken care of, the little friends she has will get over it soon enough. Besides she didn't feel like she made an impact on anyone's life.
Suddenly, she snapped out of it. Wait what was she doing, how sure.. Wait what was the reason for this. No its too much. She made an attempt to move and to her silent horror, she felt the ground left her feet and she was falling backward, she couldn't scream, didn't feel like it. She just watched everything happened so fast but yet it looked so slow, but just that she had no control over anything, her vision started to blur and suddenly her vision went dark.
She held the sounds of giggling and happy laughter if a child and as she opened her eyes she found herself in the body of a little girl, she was like an audience in the child body. The little girl was running across a beautiful flower field. She heard the little girl said "you can't catch me" but before anything else, Selena slipped back into the darkness, who was that? Who was the child talking to?
But she found herself back, falling. Sigh, so this is it. The tears gathered around her eyes and a lone tear slip out of her eye, it flew upward and glistened like diamond.
Selena didn't know how, what made her but she felt it, it was at the tip of her tongue, it's felt like her last beckon of hope and as she closed her eyes in peace and open her lips the name slipped out " Lucas ".
~~~~~~
Everything felt still, silent, too silent. Is this what death feels like, she didn't feel the pain or impact.
She opened her eyes awaiting to see her new world, her new life. Her eyes lids flutter open and she opened her eyes to see a dark-hodded figure. The hair peeking out from under the hood, silky black hair dark as raven feathers, she felt like running her hands through it. Her eyes dropped lower and her whole world came to a halt. She found herself staring at the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. Its irises looked like melted silver, It was absolutely ethereal and she was for a moment pulled into a whole new world, those deep endless abyss-like eyes, she felt she would keep falling, to no end. With how focused she felt, she didn't notice a warm sensation on her neck region. And a particular subtle change. Suddenly as she was still staring into the captivating eyes, she felt something cold touched the tip of her nose. She looked away from the eyes to find snow ,falling. She turned back to the eyes and it stole her breathe again, the eyes were still staring at her, but with the scenery of snow falling in the back ground, it was one of the most beautiful things she has seen.
Selena decided to look down to see the mysterious hooded figure lower face. , but she couldn't see anything apart from his eyes it was like their was a shadow blocking his lower half face.
She notice how he was wearing a dark cloak, that's where the good came from. The hood only allowed little of his front hair to peek out from under the hood. From a third point view they looked majestic, mystifying with the two figure together, both wearing dark cloths against the beautiful snow background. It was a picture artist would die to capture.
Was it possible to feel spellbound to someone you saw for the first time. It was too surreal, but it felt right, it..Hold up! Hold up. What the... Were they air borne. Who the hell is thus hooded figure. But her thought were cut off when she suddenly felt dizzy and the next thing she knew she found herself on the roof top again, but thus time with the hooded figure. Did they just... TELEPORT. She couldn't wrap her head around this.
Apparently she was realized the stranger was carrying her princess style. Where was her head, that she didn't realize this sooner.
The dark cloaked figure placed her back gently on the floor. Shocked, but Selena was still spellbound by this hooded figure before her. His exquisite beauty like none she has seen before.
The cloaked figure before Selena stared at her. His eyes bore into her soul. Seeing the dazed blank look on her face a glint flashed across his eyes and it was gone as if it never happened. Selena couldn't even
catch the emotion in his eyes on time. But as he turned around to leave, that was enough for Selena to snap out of her daze. Not knowing where she got the courage from she said " wait ". Halting the hodded figure about to take a step forward. She tan to stand in front of him. It seems she has been courageous lately. She has been taking a lot of risk recently.
Yes there was something dangerous about this cloaked figure and she should feel scared and probably run, but she couldn't. She felt a feeling of safety with him. That felt crazy as she doesn't know him from anywhere. Hell, she couldn't even see his face. But that didn't stop her, as she found herself reaching her hand to the hooded figure face to touch him. Her beautiful brown eyes full of curiosity gazing at his pair of sparkling silver eyes. Her petal like lips parted slightly and she whispered " who are you". But the hooded figure eyes flashed a glint and before her eyes he disappeared. Leaving only a faint trace of dark mist and it was like, he was never there.
Selena snapped out of her daze and stared at her hands that reached for him. She didn't even get to touch his face. One of the reason she could guess it was a man was because when he held her, she felt the hard, firm chest against her. She felt he was fit and she found herself drooling at the thought of him being shirtless. 'Are you mad'. She chastised herself. She didn't even know this mysterious being that saved her life. And she was fantasising about seeing her saviour shirtless. She really needed to check her brain and then a determined look graced her features as she decided, she was going to chase after that mysterious figure. It felt like a stupid dream, but it was a dream nothingless . The grief from earlier have reduced, and it seems she just found her light, her dark world just had it star.
She looked up at the sky realizing it's turning dark. And truthfully by the time she walked out of the care center, it was dark, and she had a dark humor. It was good they didn't find a dead body in front of their building. She couldn't help buy chuckle at that fact. She wondered his shocked will the smiling receptionist look then, will the smile finally fall out of her face. And now as she walked down the side walk if the street, it was night time.
