SIDE STORY

Mom !!! , Dad !!!

Ella screamed out her lungs as she watched the shining bright light with a playing horn crash right into theirs. Her parents had been quarrelling and her dad failed to see the impending truck ahead of them.

Watching the truck crash straight into their car , everything felt like a flash. Ella watched as her parents die before her eyes. Her mom bleed like never before and my dad's body was crushed to the point that it was barely recognizable at the moment. The strong metallic smell of blood hit her making me feel dizzy as her heart slowly crumbled in fear. Before she knew it, everything turned pitch black ,and she lost conciousness .

At the particular point in time, Ella thought about all the things and people she loved. Feeling the urgency and need not to leave without them all.

....

Hello ! Hello !!!

10 years old Anastella stood in front of an old ancient building in her blooded pink dress and cleaned ponytails hair while feeling dizzy. The whole building was so quiet that everything felt creepy and dirty. It made the young girl feel as if she'd time travelled.

When her conciousness finally kicked in, Anastella realized that she was standing in the center of a crowd ( particularly the dead ). Beneath her legs were painless flames which made the young girl believe that she was dead and had been tansported to her.

Maybe it was because she slap Lili and made the 'poor girl' felt wronged before she'd died.

"Hmm!" Anastella sighed quietly before proceeding to search for her parents among the crowd. She was sure that if she had been sentenced to hell because of a single slap, then her parents would surely be around because the had indirectly caused her to die at such a young age before her time.

Previously, Anastella thought that all the people around her wouldn't harm her so she raced freely through the crowd, screaming the names of her parents but thing quickly went upside down when she realized that they were all quietly staring at her. In no time, the young girls screamed echoed throughout the silent halls as everyone charged towards her direction, wanting to kill her.

Anastella run as fast as her tiny legs could take her without of clue on where she was going. Her heart was painfully hammering against her chest as if trying to escape it's ribcage. The little girl's eyes filled with tears and her sobs erupted as it dawned on her that she was lost when she finally halted. Again, she found herself in a strange yet familiar hall, and before her was a big stout wilted tree .

The tree seemed to have been dead for decades as strange insects inhabited it. It was leaveless and only made if branches and huge stem making it feel magical in some way.

The tree was nursed at the center of the building, and around it was an enchantic stream filled with fishes and unknown creatures . Before the stream was a bridge which be used to cross over. Even as a kid, Ella stood still while simply amazed at the things she saw .

"Xiao Xing."

She heard an invincible force whisper into her ears and she tried to deny it, Ella was curious about the mysterious entity whispering the named in her ears.

Beneath the edge , peeking at it's wonder , Anastella felt an urge to pluck a flower that she saw had suddenly bloomed . The flower looked orange . It had a little bit of purple in the middle . It looked small but felt attractive only by one look . It was truly beautifully and seen to be one of a kind .

Stretching her tiny legs to it's final limit , she plucked the flower . Suddenly , many more flowers began bloom on the tree unexpectedly .

" What have you done ?..."

she heard a voice say behind . Scared , her legs got numb and fell on the ground with a loud piercing cry .

"Ahh!!..... "

Anastella covered her face with her palm , afraid . She was scared , hearing footsteps get closer .

" Who are you girl ?... "

This time the voice said again . Tilting her head for her eyes to meet dark purple ones .
