*************************
KATHIA
This time, I was in a ruin...
All around me stood thick beams of wood, blackened and charred from where the flames had licked them. The ruins were still smoking and I could see the faintest glow of embers as I maneuvered around the creaking threshold . Black dust hung in the air and invaded my lungs as I walked around what seemed to have been like a very big house.
Nothing had escaped the fire, glass littered the floor where the windows had broken and the metal base of the grand chandelier lay blackened and twisted on the ground.
Immediately, I was filled with an overwhelming feeling of,sadness,of regret and guilt. I couldn't stop the tears as I touched the chars of what had been my shelter, my comfort,my home...
My home.........?
But how could that be..where had that come from?
I sprung around quickly as I heard a movement behind me.. again, I was standing face to face with another me...wearing that same gown I have always worn..she looked at me expressionless at first..immediately she gasped and her face was filled with horror...
"You ruined it all..You ruined everything...we ruined it all..you have to go back...you don't have much time .."
"I am not scared."...I said to myself.
"Where am I going? take me there All episodes of this story can be found here >> https://www.ebonystory.com/story/second-chance . I am ready to go back!
"There!" She said, pointing her finger to the east and I turned just as the scenery changed..I was in the open field again..and this time..I saw him..almost like he was fading...and he was riding a horse..his back was still turned and as the horse he was riding galloped away.he faded into nothingness.
I looked at her(me)..for some sort of explanation but she seemed not bothered as she was still pointing to the east..I turned to where she pointed and I saw a mirror..
"Am I going inside the mirror?" I managed to ask..this is becoming like a childs play..really..
"This is not a child's play Kathia!" She snapped at me angrily, her eyes were wide and frightening.
"Go Inside and fix everything I did...everything you did!"
She was boiling with rage and I had no idea why she had to pour her anger on me,,I didn't do anything..
"You did everything!" She snapped again..accusingly and then said almost in a sober.."We did everything and now its almost too late.." She was more sober now..less frightening though she still scared me.
"Go before it's too late Kathia..you are the last to have this second chance....please..save us..."
Then her lips twisted into a sad smile and she began to fade.....
I inhaled and walked towards the mirror...which got bigger as i walked closer and finally like a door..one of those doors I have seen many times..
This time, I didn't see my reflection..instead I saw a door knob and circling my fingers around it..I pushed...
