Death Part 1

All their voices are starting to grow distant, as the pain slowly starts to grow heavier and greater with every shallow breath I manage to gasp out.

It's dark and gloomy as I slowly walk down the light-less paths.
I hear a voice, soft and comforting call to me; so I follow the voice with every step I take it keeps getting harder and harder.

I'm cold almost to the point of going numb & my head is throbbing, and at the time I was ready to just give up, I walked into something hard.
I fell against it with a cry of pain as it jams into where I am mortally wounded.......

Five hours earlier 


"Is everyone here?" Johnny asked while he looked around.
"Yes, I believe so." Susan said as she sat next to Danny & Katerina.
"No, wait, where is Maria?" Johnny asked when his eyes passed by my empty seat for the fifth time.
"What are we going to do with Maria? She keeps doing this, and it is like she will never learn!" Katerina said as she marched over to the window and looked for Maria.

Meanwhile 

I was racing through main-street with my best friends Mara & Marie.

As I rounded the corner, I dived into the corner and waited for Mara & Marie to catch up.

I sat down on the cool brick pavement and watched as Marie rounded the corner & was followed by Mara.

I silently got up and sneaked up behind Marie & Mara, while they were looking for me. I poked Marie & Mara, then came up in-between them.
Mara nearly fainted, while Marie let out a sharp startled sound. I laughed uncontrollably at their expressions and could not stop.    

When we were finally finished laughing, we walked to the nearest Baskin Robbins and got ice cream.  

        "Man, it has been a great morning!" Mara said as she slumped down next to me on the side walk.
        "Totally, though I wonder what Johnny, Susan, Danny, & Katerina are doing, since you are not there?" Marie asked questioningly.
I grew very quiet at the thought of what my siblings were thinking at that very moment.
        "Where could Maria have gone off to this time?" Stormed Katerina in a fiery mood.
        "How many times has she done this to us now?" Susan asked agitated.
They all went silent for about a minuet till Danny answered and said "This is her 5th time doing this."
        "We need to go and find her before they do." Johnny said as he walked out the door and to the car.
