Hiraeth: The Search of Life
A 65-years old cancer patient has seven more days to live. The only regret in her life is that she never really lived one for herself. Eventually, she dies, only having a journal with her. To her surprise, her soul is not the only thing finding its way. The afterlife has more in it than she could imagine. Her search for a new life not only brings a new friend but Death itself.
CHAPTER 19: Pancakes
"Who's here?" I asked.
"My father. He has found us."
"Valek you don't have to get scared every time the weather gets worse."
"No, it's not the weather Lily."
"Hey guys. What are you doing here?" Emily said while coming out of the woods.
We were both shocked for a moment there. How long had she been there? Did she see something?
"Hi Emily," I said while Valek remained speechless for some time. "What are you doing here? I thought you were going to your house."
"Yeah, we were but then George went out with his friends and I got bored. I had seen you people coming here so I thought I'll get some company," she replied with a wide smile.
"How long had you been there?" I asked out of suspicion.
"I just came here. Why? Is there a problem?" Emily kept smiling, which looked awkward.
"No, I just didn't know when you got here," I said.
Valek kept staring at the sky, looking at the black clouds.
"What happened with you?" Emily asked him.
