Other side

Ch 1// 17 years later

After stretching girl was stiff as a rag. The sun shone through the dark red curtains in the room, bed was so warm she didn't want to go anywhere or do anything. The girl just wanted to curl up like a little kitten and fall asleep in a sweet, warm sleep. After lying for a few minutes, she was disturbed by an insisting voice:

"Well well! Get up!" it was Kerry's mom, "we have to drive to the countryside so get up, get dressed, eat and let's go! Dad already went to the garage for the car."

She turned to the other side and put on a blanket. She was hoping mother will understand her gesture and stop digging her and allow her to continue sleeping. She did not.

Suddenly the mother removed the blanket away from daughter. Feeling the autumn breeze, the girl curled up even smaller.

"Stop fooling around! Get up!"

"Mom! I've been driving to the countryside almost for three weeks already. Now it's Emily's turn. Let me sleep normally once!"

"Emily will study. She has to write a report for school."

"I need to study too."

"But you young lady tomorrow, don't forget, will have guests. And on Monday, unlike your sister, you will not have to go to school because all the teachers in your school go on that tour, you will be able to spend the whole day studying at home."

At that moment Kerry remembered that her dad wanted to buy her a present. And he said she have to choose it by herself.

In the countryside, the girl changed into more comfortable clothes to make it easier and more convenient to get apples from the trees. The young girl after a while had already picked up the full box of apples and, wanting to finish work, carried the heavy box to the trunk of the car which was on the other side of the house. On the other side of the house was also the entrance to the house itself. Opening the trunk of the car, the girl with a little effort put the box inside. Remembering that the stairs which remained right under the apple tree had to be placed, the girl went in the direction of the apple orchard. Along the way a small and nice field sparrow tweeted as if addressing a curly girl to follow him. "How nice... and weird." thought Kerry.

The girl folded the stairs, locked them and carried them to the barn. The same sparrow tweeted again, and this time it was rising in the sky turning like a whirlpool. Well, the bird was only a short distance from the Kerry which inviting girl to follow him flew in some direction. She followed. Seeing that the bird had flown to two spruces, the girl suddenly remembered something. She ran to the car, opened the trunk, took a large and unusually coloured stone and ran back to the spruce side where her previous cat was buried. Red head girl placed a pink stone in the left corner of the cemetery where the land was plowed. After pulling out some weeds she sank into memories. The kitten died several years ago when Kerry was only nine years old. She loved her, when cat died - girl was having hard time. But... life goes on.

This day was really shiny, there was a clear sky, almost no clouds at all. It could be said that one of the last warm days because from the middle of next week promised to be cooler, the end of October it was. Suddenly the girl appeared in a very good mood which is not typical for her, not so wonderful that it seemed to her - the ground under her feet disappears. And this time it had to be taken literally because the girl had already flown above the ground, she was FLYING. Because of her good mood she didn't feel what was happening to her. Even looking down and seeing that her legs were not on the ground anymore she did not feel fear or even a little anxiety. Yes, Kerry couldn't believe it but she continued to rise higher and higher. Girl had a feeling that in her was rising unknown strength and self-confidence. It seemed to her that she could do anything, everything seemed obvious. She continued to rise higher and higher. Looking at the sky, she felt even more energy flowing into her from above. Something was approaching from the sky, the girl could not see it because she had closed her eyes.The celestial body was getting closer and closer. Kerry was unable to move that why she quickly opened her eyes. Even if she wanted to, she wouldn't be able to move. The thing was getting closer and closer. Suddenly a white light took over and Kerry lost her consciousness.
