Honey : The Empire's Treasure

She wanted to find an exit or find the end quicker, but no matter how many different ways she tried she couldn"t break thru. There seem to be a boundary within the wormhole. Making it impossible for her to break free.

Exhausting all her options, Lila decided to give up. There was nothing waiting from her on the outside anyways.

"That"s it your done?" a female"s voice popped up out of no where.

Lila swerved around to look for the owner of the voice, but all she saw was the tunnel of the wormhole.

"Is someone there?"

"Yes."

"Where are you?"

"I"m here."

"Where?" Lila looked sideways, up and down still not finding anyone.

"Just like you my body is the same."

Thinking she might not be the only dead person here, excitement course thru her.

"No, no, no. We are not the same. I am a being. I have always been, always have."

"Being? Always been? What did that mean?" Lila thought on this a second before coming to the conclusion she was talking to a "Being" of higher power.

"Are you G.o.d?" Lila posed the question with hesitation.

"Some have called me as such"

"Then are you here to collect me?"

"Hmmm...that could be possible."

"Possible? What does that mean? Aren"t you going to take me to heaven, or something?"

"Nah! You don"t want to go there, its boring as f**k there. "

"....Okaaay, so where am I going?"

"Well, you haven"t made a choice yet."

Lila looked around at her choices. Yet seeing nothing but wormhole.

"How can I make a choice? I"m stuck in this wormhole."

"Wormhole? What"s a wormhole? This is a doorway. I"ve opened a doorway for you."

"Doorway?.....Wait, you open this wormh- umm doorway?"

"Yes. I heard you, since you have crossed my path I"ve considered this fate. So, I decided to take pity on you and helped you."

Were she screams that loud. Lila had though it was unexplained phenomenon. Comes to find out it"s a doorway a Being/G.o.d just threw open. Did she look like an abandoned puppy?

"Umm...thank you? How come you didn"t show yourself sooner? I ran myself crazy trying to find a way out of here."

"Yeah, I know. It was quite entertaining."

"...."

"What!?... I get bored sometimes."

"I"m glad I could entertain you." If this was the G.o.d everyone has always been wors.h.i.+ping to, they had been wors.h.i.+ping all wrong.

"So what is your choice?"

"Choice? How can I make a choice if I don"t know what my choices are? All I see is this doorway."

"Duh! Until you make your choice the next door can"t open."

"Did a "Being/G.o.d" just "duh" me."

"Here are your choices. One rebirth. Two....two....you umm....how about you travel with me? Yeah, yeah...you seem like a fun person. I could use a companion right now."

Okay this "Being/G.o.d" definitely sees her as a puppy.

"It doesn"t seem like choice number two was well thought out."

"....."

Lila laughed to herself as she thought about her choices. She could see the "Being/G.o.d" wanted her to choose choice number one, but she was reluctant. Her previous life didn"t fair so well, what if she ends up in the same predicament.

Hearing the thoughts running thru the child"s mind, the "Being" truly felt remorse. She has give the chance of rebirth to many, but only few have ever hesitated on the choice. Those who did have always stay in her heart. Cause these are the ones who knew of the hards.h.i.+ps of life.

"Child that is life. Do not be afraid of trying again. Your fate in life was destine to end early, but fate also bought you to me. You don"t know what fate has in store for you. So why fear the unknown? Second chances don"t come offend."

"Will I be reborn back into my old life? Is that possible." Lila thought about all those who took apart in her death.

"No. Not possible. A life left behind is a life gone. There is no returning." The "Being" could hear what she was thinking. "Start anew. Let the past be the past. And the future be the future."

Shame bloomed within her. She knew the "Being/G.o.d" had saw her thoughts. Could she let go of her hate. Just as she was thinking of this a memory of her foster mother played in her mind.

When Lila was younger and sick. Depression and angry had been her constant companion.

"Lila, if you let these negative emotions consume you. They will eat you from the inside out, you will never see the beauty that you are." Ms. Joy said sitting next to the small younger Lila who watched as the rest of the children her age played and went to school. Lila hadn"t understood Ms. Joy then. Later on when she made friends with Kara and was well enough to go to school, did she realize what Ms. Joy meant.

Lila didn"t know if the "Being/G.o.d" made that memory pop up, or she thought of it on her own but she was thankful either way.

"Okay I"ll go..... So where will I be reborn to?"

"Oh! Honey, I have no idea but good luck."

"Wait! Wh"

Lila the pushed towards the bright light at the end of the tunnel.
