I woke up in a very dark environment, everything completely dark. I couldn't see a thing, I felt blind. I lift my arm in front of me, but I could see it. This has never happened before, why is my conscience so dark?. I sat on the floor, bring my knee to my chest.
"Mom. Dad. I'm scared" I said trying to adjust my eyes to the environment. "Anyone? please!" I yelled still looking around. I want to wake up, here felt so lonely.
"We are here pumpkin" someone said. I shook in shock, I felt scared to the bones. It was my conscience, I felt maybe it was playing what I wanted to hear. I turned left and right, I couldn't see anything.
"Who's there?", I asked. Maybe I was hearing things, it sounded like Mom.
"It's us pumpkin", someone who sounded like dad spoke. I quickly stood up, I was about to run. But then if I was running, what ever is here probably knows the way around and can reach me. What should I do? I asked myself.
"Please, don't be scared, it's us", someone who sounded like Mom spoke.
"How do you expect me to believe you?", I asked. This is more than a mind game, I could feel people's presence.
" We don't know how it happened, we heard you call out for us then all of a sudden we found ourselves here, in this dark place", dad explained. Non of this makes sense, what's happening?.
"Pumpkin", dad said. At this point I didn't really care anymore, I missed them so much.
"Dad? Mom? Is that really you?", I asked tear at the brim of my eyes. "Yes dear it's us", mom replied in a longing tone. I broke down in tears, stretching my hands forward, hoping to touch something or someone.
"I've missed you" I said as tears continuously ran down my eyes.
"We've missed you too pumpkin" dad said touching my hands. He then pulled me close hugging me. I could smell his fragrance, a scent I couldn't forget. He smelled like chocolate, while mom vanilla. I still remember when I'd always asked both of them if they where ice cream, or if they tasted like they smelled.
"Where have you guys been?", I asked him hugging them tight.
"We've been in your heart dear" dad said pulling away. "Why couldn't you stay with me? You left me all alone" I questioned. So much I went through, a lot I faced.
"God knew what was best for us", mom said in a calm voice. "I've missed you guys so much" I said as tears continued to pour from my eyes again, I couldn't control my emotions.
"How have you been pumpkin?" dad asked caressing my cheek. What should I tell him? What can I? My life has been terrible.
"I've been through quit alot. After the accident I was sent to an orphanage, the head mistress there didn't like me. She treated me terribly, so I left. She was so impartial and wicked to me". I didn't tell them the part of me trying to commit suicide. "I fend for myself now, I got in an accident, my hair got cut off" I added touching my head.
"I'm so sorry pumpkin. I can't imagine what you've been through", dad said , I could hear the sadness in his voice.
"What about school, how have your studies been?" mom asked.
"That's were I got into an accident, something fell on my head", I said feeling my head. Was it normal to be feeling headache even while unconscious? I asked myself.
"I'm so sorry " mom said, I could hear as if she was going to cry.
"I wish we could be there for you, then you won't be suffering the way your are right now", mom added. "We are so sorry",dad said. " Pumpkin Its time. Its time for your mother and I to go",dad said i could feel his palm on my cheek.
"Where to? No. Not yet, I haven't finished telling you about my school yet. You guys just got here, please don't leave me" I said holding on to dad's his palm that was still on my face.
No, I can't let them go again, we are finally reunited and now he says they have to go. No!, I thought as tears poured down my eyee.
"We are truely grateful we were able to see you dear, but it's not up to us to stay", mom said sniffing .
"Then take me with you" I said without thinking twice. If they can't stay, then id go with them.
"We wish we could, but we can't cut your life short you have a bright future ahead of you. So much to do, to accomplish." mom said.
"Good bye pumpkin, your mom and I love you dearly ", dad said in a faint voice. "No, at least not yet", I cried. " please don't go".
"MOM! DAD!" I yelled, but no one answered. " ARE YOU THERE! PLEASE DON'T GO!" I screamed as I fell on my knees, they are gone, I thought. I felt so alone, so cold.
"Please. Please don't go", I said in a low tone crying. My heart couldn't take it, it hurt so bad. Just a little longer, just to feel their warmth.
"With out you guys in my life, everything else is cold and dark" I cried bringing my knees to my chest.
"WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?!!!", I screamed.
"WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO?!!", I yelled.
"DAAAAAAAD!" I shouted as tears poured down my eyes none stop.
"Why. why didn't you take me with you?" I said in a whisper.
"Why am I destined to nothing but misery?".
"Audrey!"
"Audrey", I could hear my name being called out.
"Mom. dad is that you?" I asked scanning the area, but sadly I couldn't see anything. I turned left and right, I couldn't see. I looked forward, I could see a dim light.
I stood up and began walking towards it, It felt so warm, I felt like it was drawing me towards it.
"MOM?!, DAD?! ARE YOU THERE?!",I called walking towards the light . "I CAN SEE BRIGHT LIGHT, SHOULD I KEEP WALKING TOWARDS IT?" I shouted still walking. I didn't hear a response, I just kept walking.
