Chapter 2

My head's spinning and my whole body hurts. Am I dead? I take a deep breath. It's warm and there's a pleasent sweat smell in the air. It reminds me of springtime. My eyes feel heavy as I try to open them. The bright, blue sky and a few clouds are the first thing I see. In pain I slowly sit up and look around. I'm leaning on a flourishing Cherry tree on a colorful Hill filled with dozens of different types of flowers. They're hyacinths, my mum's favorites. I smile when I think of my garden which almost only exists of them. My mum took care of it once. But she passed away 3 years ago and I had to take care of myself from then on. I didn't want to tell anyone about this cause I didn't want to leave my precious home. At first I had problems, but with time I got the hang of it. Now that I think about it, that might be the main reason why I matured faster and earlier than the other school kids I know. Because of that almost all or the people think I'm already seventeen. Since I had to earn money, I took a part time job in a library (that was where Silica and I learned from time to time and my second home). Honestly, it has its good sides, since this is the reason I got to read (and learn) this much. I also selled the expensive stuff my father left behind when he abandoned my back the still pregnant mum. She treasured them. But since I don't know my father I don't have a problem exchanging it for money. While thinking about . Although I find it strange that the flowers are still flourishing. It doesn't make sense, so I'll leave it for now. And behind me, kilometers away, I can see a city. Well, at least there is civilisation here. I shiver as a small brease comes up. I look at my clothes. There still wet. I look behind me again. Maybe I should go to the city to by new ones? I search for my bag where the money is, but I can't find it. Strange. I always have it with me wherever I go. Just then remember that I jumped of the cliff. I laugh. Of course I don't have my bag with me since I tried to commit suicide. But in that case I should be dead, right? Or did somebody save me? I look around again. There aren't either humans nor an ocean as far as the eye can see. Seems I'm still alive, even if I don't have any explanations of how and why im here. Guess I have to keep wearing those then. I pick up a flower, lay down again so that my clothes dry in the sun and watch the blue birds with three tales soaring through the sky. Blue birds? With three tales!? I sit up apruptly and stare at these strange animals in stunned silence. I've never seen or read of them before. There beautiful and remind me of the phoenix. Who said that poenixes have to be golden? Just then, one of them screeches out with a melodic voice, takes a turn and flies in my direction! As it gets bigger and bigger I jump up and run away as fast as I can. These birds are monstrous! I've never been good with pe, so it doesn't surprise me that the bird is faster than me. It's skreeches get louder and louder. The it flies past me and lands. I scream, take an aprupt turn and slip. In panic I get up and try to run away in the opposite direction, but a second bird blocks it. Now, all the other birds, who have been following the two birds in front form a circle around me and land. There's now way for me to escape. The last bit of my strength dissapears as I give up and fall over into the flowers. I'm done for. I'm gonna get eaten by these strange blue monster-birds and die. Doesn't matter since I want to die anyway, right? As I think that, it gets dark around me and I get swallowed by the nothingness once again.
