Michelle Clark stared at the book in her hands in shock. She couldn't believe she was already at the end of the last chapter of her favorite book, 'The Tyrant's Bride'
She was afraid of reading the last page but she did it anyways. Now that she had finished the book, she wondered what was to happen then.
At 26, Michelle looked like a 15 year old. Due to her sickness, she had been in and out of the hospital most of her life. At some point, she had wished for death and it was at that moment that the book had miraculously appeared at her front door.
"And they all lived happily ever after. Something I could never even dream of" she murmured to herself
Suddenly she felt sleepy, drowsy, she went into her room. Deryl, emergency rescue dog barked at her, sensing something was wrong.
"Hmm" she murmured, settling into bed.
The sound of Deryl's barking fading into the background as she slipped into unconsciousness, swirling into a pit of pitch black darkness.
*******************************
"Hello child". A woman emerges from the darkness, her body encased in some kind of light". I have heard your wish and I am here to grant it"
I gape at her. What the heck? Where was I and who was this weird woman in front of me?
"Who are you ....what are you?" I ask her.
"I am the Sun, the creator of the realm where you and the rest of your kind reside" she replied, looking more powerful than earlier and glowing much brighter.
"Am I dead?" I ask her, wondering about Deryl.
"No but, you are in a state between awareness and darkness"she replies
"Meaning I'm in a coma?" Things were starting to get out of hand.
"What about my dog? What's going to happen to him?"
"Do not worry child, he's in good hands. I have consulted with the alpha, the One and only creator of the galaxies and universe. We have concluded that your stay here has been rather unpleasant, so to speak. That is why you have been granted this one of a time chance to live your life to the fullest. So Michelle Clark, tell me, are you ready?" The being asks
"Wait a second, where will I be going?" Michelle asks
"You'll find out when you get there. Best of luck dear. May the Alpha be with you" she says.
*******************************
" Yawn" a girl stretches, getting up from bed. It's took her less than a second to realize that something was terribly wrong. And she was pretty sure it had something to do with the lavishly decorated room she was in.
Then, there is a sudden intrusion on her thoughts in the form of a knock on the door.
"Come in" she says, although the door has already been pushed open.
"Rachel, you're need downstairs" the woman standing in front of her said.
"Rachel?" the girl repeated, confused
"The Lord calls" the woman says simply, leaving the room.
The girl, Rachel, looked about her and seeing a cabinet by the wall approaches it, looking up to stare into the mirror above it. She gasps, the girl staring back at her had the beauty of a goddess. With hair as white as snow, large blue eyes, and a graceful figure. Her face was dazzling even though it had a look of surprise.
"What am I doing here?" Rachel exclaimed "Who is this, what the hell is going on?"
Michelle who was still wondering about her circumstances was jerked back into reality when the door was suddenly opened with force.
"Rachel! Weren't you informed that you were called?"
"What?..... Oh, yes I was informed" Michelle answered "I was on my way" she lied smoothly. The idea had been very far from her mind.
"Then get going, you have a visitor!" The man snarled, clearly not happy with her.
"Sorry but, who are you again?" Michelle asked, the curiosity evident on her face.
The man just stared at her in shock
"Oh I'm just joking. I know who you are, I was just checking to see your reaction" Michelle says with an awkward laugh.
She shuffled out the door and followed closely behind the strange man who had taken the lead in front of her.
The whole house was very vast and beautiful and Michelle felt like a princess.
"My Lord, she is here" The stranger says, bowing.
Michelle/Rachel steps into the room and instantly her eyes zero in on the man sitting by the door. Calling him handsome was an understatement, he looked like a Greek god, sitting there with his legs crossed and his hands positioned on his laps.
He regards her with a rather surprised look before looking away from her. Cough! The sound came from opposite him. Sitting at a large table which seemed small in the larger room was a man of great age. He stare at her, meaningfully glancing down her body. She looks down, following his eyes and realizes why 'the god' had looked away. Her night gown was revealing.
Quickly, she covers up and rushes out the door and back the way she had come closing the door behind her.
She sinks to the floor in her room, close to tears. Why hadn't that strange rude man mentioned it? Ugh. But she knew she couldn't blame him as it was her fault for not remembering in the first place.
