Echoes of Angels

Part 2

            Why can’t I breathe? Every movement I make is so painful. It is so bright… so cold… Orion, where are you? Someone is speaking, who is it? “She is dying… but I think that Orion would make it through…” “She?” Are they referring to me? Dying? I don’t want to die! Hm? What is this warmth and light engulfing me?

            I feel so light, as if I am floating away. I see my body; does this mean that I am dead? But why can I still think… still remember? Where am I going? I can go through walls? Where am I now? Orion? Why are they attaching things to you? What happened to the both of us? What is going on?!

            I don’t want to leave you Orion! I am diving down, as I slam into him, I delve into his mind; his sub-consciousness.

            As I open my eyes I find myself back… isn’t this a dream? For… I am dead, but yet I am still so… alive… Isn’t this Orion’s house? This is his room. I wonder if he is here, nah he couldn’t be… for he is living and… I’m not. Orion?! Why are you here? Ah… I feel so confused… I guess that all this was fated; I’m going to make the most out of this! I suppose I should make some breakfast, I’m feeling quite hungry, he would be too… Finally I’ve finished making breakfast. He isn’t even awake yet!

            Hm… How can I wake him up? He looks so cute when he is asleep. I suppose prodding him would work… He is waking up.

            “Wake up lazy bones!” “Dominique?” He asks. “Of course you stupid!” I say laughingly, while throwing my arms around him, as he wraps his around me I notice that they feel so wonderful. As I snuggle against him, he nuzzles my hair. “You know something Dominique?” “Hm?” I mummer, as I lean closer into his embrace. “I heard that you were dying… I was so afraid to lose you…” I am dead, but I still want to be with you. I smile at him, just to reassure him. “I would not leave you for anything. I’ll never leave you Orion.” “Mm… good. I’d never want you to leave me.” I’d never want to leave your side either.

            During breakfast I notice that he is staring at me, I love him. As soon as breakfast is over, he gets up while I clear the table. I wonder where is he going.

            The days pass quickly but blissfully. He is getting into bed, I go and hug him. As he smiles warmly at me, he invites me to share his bed; I love him with all my heart and soul. “When your end is near, I’ll turn into a beautiful angel and ride on the glittering winds to meet you.” I whisper as he falls asleep.

            Cold… why is it so cold? Where am I? Why is it so dark, so quiet, and so cold? Perhaps this is the true Death… and what ever that happened was a lie…
