Chapter 1: Losing Sight

Kit walked away from Snow, she felt sadness for her friend. She sighed. Suddenly, Kit heard a thud...

She turned around and found Snow unconscious. S-SNOW WAKE UP! she cried, but Snow didn’t wake up... 

Please... she said, her voice cracking and at the brink of tears. Wake up... she paused and was so concerned she yelled, Snow, I can’t lose you!, If this is supposed to be a joke, it’s not funny...

Moments later, Snow was rushed to the hospital. A few days after being sent to the hospital, she never woke up. 

Kit heard the flatline of the heart monitor, and started to cry.

They had the funeral a few days later.

It wasn’t the same after Snow died, and Kit was devastated.

H-hello? Snow said to the darkness.

Hello, Snow, a mysterious figure whispered.

That had startled Snow.

W-who’s there? Snow asked, cautiously.

How about you figure it out, child. In order to find out, come to the Rainbow Bridge...

What is this, ‘Rainbow Bridge?’ Snow asked.

The yellow light...in front of your face, said the voice.

Show yourself Snow shrieked.

If you insist!~
