Light then darkness

“la,la,la,la,la, the sky is so blue. The earth looks deep green, and the sun is pretty. Haha, I feel like a bird flying out of its cage.” Snow said as she twirled around the rustic iron pole.

“This feeling is amazing. The wind is in my hair, and my worries are flowing away with the breeze. I can touch the sky from where I am standing. I feel dizzy and weak. I am going to puke now.” She told her friend in a shaking tone.

He rushed toward her as she was about to hit the ground and held her in his arms.

He wore a worried expression on his face and a sad eye when he stared at her. She pulled herself away from his embrace and let out a depressing sound.

“ Umm, what is wrong with your face? Stop acting pitiful and twist along with me. Let us ship all of our pain with the wind and free ourselves from life's worries and problems. Angel, take my hands and do not let go.” She said.

Snow suddenly reaching out to hold his hands. He smiles and nods his head. Snow grabs his hand tightly and spins him around.

Angel grins widened every time Snow gave out a brief smile. His yellow eyes seem to focus on her entirely, regardless of how hard they whirl. He did not seem drowsy, but Snow appeared unstable. She could not endure any longer. Plus, her surroundings were growing dusky. Snow closed her eyes and felt herself falling to the ground.

She rested her head on his chest and fell asleep. Angel did not shake a muscle in his body nor, did he make a sound? He wanted Snow to rest and release her mind from her dilemmas. She has been restless from this morning till now, and Angel dislikes watching those beautiful brown eyes worried. Time drifted by, but that did not bother him. Thirty minutes passed, and Snow finally woke up.

She raised her head and noticed his eyes were gazing at her. Snow also observed that Angel was resting beneath her, and she happened to be relaxing on top of him. “Your eyelashes are so long. Plus, your eyes look cute with its yellow color. You seem quite handsome right now.” She said to him. Before realizing that it was not a dream. “Oh my God, I am very sorry.” She cried while attempting to get off him. However, she was lured back unto his chest. Snow became confused about why she could not stand up. Then, she realizes that he was still holding unto her hands all this time.

“Angel, let go off my hands!” She shouted at him and forcefully withdrew her hands from his grip.

Snow got off Angel and sat on the grass. Angel turned his head away from her and stared at the broken fence that surrounded the abandoned house.

“I am sorry. It was not my intention to be this hash. We are friends, and I do not want to give the wrong signal. How about I promise you as your friend, I will not leave your hand ever again. I will not abandon or hurt you. And I will pardon you when you wrong me. I will also stay by your side in this life and the next. What do you think?” Snow said as she lay down beside him and rested her head against the grass.

Angel faces her and nods his head in agreement with her request. She smiles at him, and he returns a smile.

“Then, we can make this our friendship oath.” Snow said and bounced off the ground in excitement.

Lately, she calms down from the rush of excitement after seeing that Angel looks confused.

“You do not understand what I am talking about.” She asked him, and he nodded his head.

"Okay, I will go first. I, Snow Wright vows to stay friends with Angel forever. I promise to protect and stand by him no matter what happens in our lives. Angel, it is your turn to say your vow.” She utters to him.

But he did not appear excited about the oath. Instead, Angel shook his head in disagreement.

“You do not want to vow?” Snow asked him, and he nodded.

“Oh, I see. That is fine with me.” She replied, her voice sounded cracked as though she was about to burst out into tears.

Snow did not know what to do now. She felt embarrassed and confused. '

'He was the want who felt neglected in the first place. Now he's refusing my offer to be there for him.' Snow thought.

Angel was about to apologize to Snow with sign language, but they were interrupted.

“Look, it is the freak and the weirdo who decided to be friends with the freak.”

A voice called out from the abandoned house's back door and they turned to see Kelvin standing against the door.

“What do you want, Kelvin?” Snow asked in a frustrating tone. Kelvin marches toward her and seizes her by the hands. “Your mother entrusted me to find you. You know she despises this freak. She is going to be enraged when she discovers that you were with him again. Just quit hanging out with this dork and come back to the old gang?” He said, then pulled Snow away from Angel.

“Kelvin, stop it. You are hurting me.” Snow screamed as she tried to remove her hands from his grasp.

Angel becomes enraged. He then steps up to Kelven and punches him in the face. His actions pissed Kelvin off. He did not hesitate to punch Angel in the stomach. Then he hit his face and pushed him to the ground. Kelvin started beating Angel everywhere on his body, implanting bloody injuries from several punches.

“Leave him alone! Please, I am begging you to stop beating him!” Snow cried as she fell to the ground in tears.

“Help! She fainted in my arms, and her temperature is increasing.” Derrie screams as he approaches his teammates.

“Get her into the ambulance now!” the EMT lady told Derrie.

He rushed inside and laid her down on her back on the stretcher.

“Her breathing feels weak.” The EMT lady said after placing her hand gently to Snow’s nose.

“Ummm. Please stop kicking him!” Snow cried out loud.

“Whatever she is remembering or dreaming about can not be pleasant!” Alvin said to his friend and held Snow's hand.

The ambulance driver drove the vehicle out of the woods with Alvin, Derrie, the EMT lady, and Joe seated in the back. Snow stopped speaking and kept silent. The EMT lady checked her nose to find out what was wrong.

“Oh my God! She is not breathing nor is she moving.” The lady screamed.
