Akane had blinked a bit. As soon as she was ready to go back to sleep to ease the pain, something seemed to pull her to an unfamiliar world. The only source of light seemed to come from the white roses underneath her. Everything else was darkness.

'How interesting...'

Akane believed this to be a dream. She was too comfortable to move. After all, the roses were much softer than her hospital bed ever was. As she laid there, she could hear a voice amidst the drops of water.

"Human who has turned your back on God and abandoned all hope... is it truly your wish to depart the world of the living in such a pitiful state?"

Akane was a little irritated by the voice. It was feminine and soft with no emotion. The voice was comforting but the question that came out of it annoyed her.

"What kind of a question is that? Of course I wish to die. Although... Would you like to hear a story? That is... if you can even understand me. You see, there once was a girl with white hair who lived in a castle. She had a loving family and everything seemed to be happy... That was, until the girl turned 14. Then she began to cough up blood. Her family stopped caring for her. They only needed her so that they looked good. They only cared for their own egos and abandoned the girl. Her sister tried to stay but she too ignored the girl in her time of need. The girl grew bitter and hated the world and the God who created it. If you haven't guessed it by now, the girl in the story is me. I'm tired of living... though, if there is one thing I would like to get back before I pass on... It would be three more years. I want back the three years of my life that were wasted being sick. I want to live for three more years. Then, I will die happily. Such a thing is impossible though... Miracles and God don't exist..."

Akane looked up at the dark sky, still annoyed.

'Why did I tell this calming voice my life...? Who is she anyway?'
