Chapter 45: Eternity and darkness

Miracle's Pov

I felt a hand on me, shaking me gently…and then a stroke on my cheek…again and again.

It felt nice and comforting.

It was the kind of feeling one wants to have for a very long time.

Cool breeze soothed my nerve. I was still stuck at the in-between, that time when you are hovering in-between the dream world and the real world,where everything is rosy and sunny.

"Can you open your eyes for me?" I heard the voice say.

I wanted to but I was stuck. Something was holding me back.

It was pitch black. The darkness stretches till eternity like a bottomless pit and with it was the promise of being stuck and trapped for all of eternity.

"Hello!" I screamed. "Is anyone there?"

Nobody spoke…I was paralyzed with fear.

Then I felt it, a feeling on my cheek like someone was caressing me there. And a hand was pulling me to safety.
