Sooooo, I think I'm dead lol. I'm Kiki, and I just finished my final year in uni. I was on my way to LA to meet my parents when my plane crashed. But it's okay, I promise. It doesn't look too bad here; I think I have another chance.
I walk into a hall different from any other place I've ever been, to meet my worst nightmare — the principal's office. High school??? Ahhhhhh, no pressure.
I see this lady and she doesn't pay attention to me; she just reads a file with my picture on it. She points to some clothes that look like a uniform and gestures for me to change.
So I'm changing, and I think this doesn't look too bad — a classic white tee, black plaid skirt and a vest. Better than high school for sure. I run my fingertips through my kinky hair. I walk out; the lady just points at a key stand and I pick up Room 4556.
The bell rings as I leave the office to meet different people and things I can't explain — creatures I've only read about in books. This is totally giving Monster High and I'm talking like a teenager. I walk past a mirror-like window; I look four years younger — ohhhhhh my gooseberries.
Oh dear, this is so overwhelming. I'm dead, that I'm sure. I'm 18 again and I don't even know if my parents found out the bad news. They're probably waiting for me with my favorite watermelon fruit cake. I want to cry but I can't.
I walk into a class that says "New Souls." I guess this is where I learn. I open the file the lady gave me and it has my obituary details. A new set of heartbreak hits me. I would shed a tear but my glands are dry.
"Welcome to the School of the Afterlife — where you come to decide your place in Heaven or Hell," I hear over the speakers.
"Oh, this will be interesting," I mutter to myself, feeling nothing in my fingertips. It's actually pretty cold in here; it's probably from the guy sitting next to me. He's cold as ice; I could tell that's how he died. Poor dude.
The bell rings again. I walk to my locker to pick out a book for my first period. What — do we have periods in the afterlife? I'll find out by the end of the month. I'm oddly not even as worried as I would be; I just want to get to Heaven or at least see my family one more time.
I walk past an empty classroom, hearing the strangest sounds. I'd normally walk away, but what's left to lose? The door creaks open. I notice someone lying unconscious on the floor. He's clearly alive but he looks beaten up pretty badly.
I come closer so I won't scare him. "Not that a scary hi… are you alright?" I ask slowly. I carefully move to see his face. He looks so gorgeous — so gorgeous it scares me.
His shirt is vigorously torn, revealing his tanned skin, and his golden-blonde hair is mixed with white strands. His lips are stained with blood. He's not dead at all! I reach in and his eyes shoot open.
"If you want my picture, sorry — no phones are in the afterlife."
I shriek, but he doesn't shift at all. His eyes are emerald green. I have never seen anything like this before.
"Thanks for looking after me," he says calmly. "See you around." He walks out but turns back. I'm frozen in place.
"What's your name?" His voice sends chills.
"I… uhhh… I'm Kiki," I stammer.
"Hi Kiki. I'm Adriel." His baritone feels so gentle on my skin.
He walks out like spikes weren't flying like lightning bolts. I'm gonna cry; I feel like the earth should just swallow me again.
"I'll leave now," I said to myself. Now that that's over, I'll head to my room.
It's hard to locate actually, seeing as there were thousands of rooms. Walking in with my books and keys, there's nothing but darkness and I can hear strange sounds again. "Hello?" I call out. Now I hear giggles.
This shouldn't be what I'm thinking — no, not in my room. Holding the wall for support, I flip the switch. I'd usually be irritated but I'm star-struck: a beautiful, slender, pale female. Her curves were just enough to psych up both genders. Her porcelain skin sits up against an older person, honestly looking like someone's father. I know what she's doing — at least I think I do.
Her eyes look up to me, pupils blood red. She licks her moist lips and parks up her raven-black hair.
Her smile is mischievous. "Hey baby, you're my new roomie. I'm so excited." She pushes off the man. Standing up, I can tell she's 6 ft tall. Back on Earth she'd easily be a model.
She leans down to me with a sharp smirk.
"I do not like the light, ok baby?"
She's so intimidating. I'm easily 5'6" but come on — that's not fair. I'm trying not to shake but it isn't working. Seeing that, she giggles.
"Get out."
"Huh?" I ask, still wondering if I could change rooms.
"Not you, baby," she says, turning her head to the man.
The man's eyes widen and he bolts.
"What is your name, baby? Or do you like when I call you baby?" She scans me like a slave trader.
"Oh um… I'm Kiki ,just Kiki is fine." I said holding my ground " aww you're so cute Kiki like a kitty " she's clearly mocking me "could you stop " "aww feisty kitty aren't ya, I like you ,I'm Laura ,forget what you saw alright it's just business" a part of me wants me to ask but naahh I've seen enough weird shit for one day
Looking around and not saying a word I find a door should be a bathroom, I didn't exactly come with anything, so the toothbrush and toothpaste looks new I'll just brush i guess
Who knew you still need hygiene and stuff here , I brush up
Laura walks in taking of her black maxi shirt revealing her pheonix tattoo over her waistline.....girl to girl she is mad sexy but why wouldn't she , is she a demon, a vampire I can't tell her . I think I'll figure it out eventually "so um why do we wear a uniform" I ask nervously,she scans me making me feel uncomfortable, she's basically half naked ,not that it mattered I'm just used to privacy and my own space ,you feel me ?"if your eyes were daggers I would have died twice lol , umm so I don't wear that I've been here for a long time, you're new later on you'll get to get stylish " she stares at the mirror checking her plush red lips ,
"I'm heading out baby ,no men in the house while I'm gone jk baby do whatever ,don't care " she walks out probably to get new clothes from the room or something I don't care anymore.
I shower , change Into the wardrobe I think is meant for me it's something I can dig honestly, picked up pink and purple pj's
My bed never felt so comfortable, tear drops fall from my eyes... Is this how the rest of my after life gonna be ? My chest feels so heavy ,I can feel parts of my soul grieving, I close my eyes to see my old house
I walk through the creaky floor boards , I walk into my parents room, I've never seen my parents cry this much , my mother cry in prayers ,my father's glass is plain foggy , I look down to my parents table to my photos ,this is how I look burnt like a stake ,I want to hold them one more time ,hug them and say my final good byes but they can't see or hear me , I wish things could get better , the room spins to a room I know too well my boyfriend's room looks like he's moved on already he's with that so called waitress, always knew you were a prick Jacob ,oh well
I drift off through the window , Jacob felt the drift in the wind and feels the urge not to stick his dick in the slots face
I walk through the streets like a lost soul all the friends and foes, they've all moved on
I guess I'll move on too , my eyes blink open felt like a dream but I know it wasn't. I stand up to look at the dresser it has all of Laura's stuff I have no interest in them .i look at my brown skin ,my eyes feel like they're loosing their black color and turning brown , I take a deep breath and jump to the bed
Tomorrow is my new beginning.
Demons,witches , angels too , snakes with legs , humans are a lot don't get me wrong but they look like side pieces but we are humans anymore we're souls I guess
I look at my book and a quil turns out the things that die in the real world lives here
I see my life flash before my eyes and trust me it's boring, a teacher speaks but I can't hear him "today you'll be trying out roles to see if you deserve a place or under " the teacher says waging his thing tail
I've always wanted to be someone's conscience, whispering thoughts into their ear but this time I'll shout and slap them if they don't listen cause I think my life would have gone better if my conscience was like that maybe my conscience is here lol or she could be in heaven I don't know
I see a beautiful green girl her hair is made of leaves and vines she's so beautiful like tefitii she blushes at a paper sent by a boy made of stones and sand I can tell cause he's blushing,there is love, oh when lol , next I see a girl sobbing at the back seat I think she's dumped or something it's too early for this and I think class is over . I walk out at the sound of the bell
Everyone's more hyper today I mean I've been for a week but here is definitely more chattery, I stroll back to my room, at least I won't feel as lonely, just to see a half dead man and Laura's eyes are red and her lips are redder if redder was a word , at least now I know what she is ,how does she even get humans ,is he even human? Let me mind my business or I'll be half dead too
Here is so complicated I can't lie but I'll learn to live to with it or die with what ever I'll exist
I go in to freshen up and decide to take a walk "hold up , " Laura looking half drunk sucking her fingers , her very revealing top is drenched with so much blood , I forge a smile "where are you going tomorrow night "
She said dazy ,"bed ??" I say reluctantly,"ohh,I guess that's fair you'll only miss the party of the summer " she says the least excited"what's that" I ask shyly "you're so cute my little kitten , it's the night of the dead , my favourite time of the year , where you find your loved ones at those ones that remember you blablabla " she says numb, immediately she jolts "my favorite part ,there are two parties , the seniors and elite and the ones for you guys " , " the only way you can get in is through an invite baby and that's not easy to get sadly" she says naughtly "like I said bed I'll go to my bed tonight" I said acting like I wasnt pained by what she just said "hmm " she looks at the man on the couch clearly disgusted , she touches him and mutters some words I can't understand at all, at this point, I'm heading to bed ,I'll freshen up first , hopefully the room won't smell like blood and sperm
The next day , everyone just won't shut up about the party, the hallways looks so festive people proposing to be each other's dates and all that sappy stuff , not that I can't go though, but I'm not a party person I mean , I'll basically keep staring at people until someone would want to drug me not that drugs exist here, I don't know anyone apart from Laura and she's scary , but I can't go through that again ohhh ye dear bed here I come , speak of the devil ,she could be
"Kiekie baby,you got an admirer" she towers over me looking at me with her siren eyes , she slowly passes a black and gold envelope
"You've been cordially invited to the elite night of the dead , next to you will be your dress for the occasion" the back should have said the invitee but it had an Initial Ã
"You have a date to the elite dance hmm, who's the lucky bastard" she says half playfully "i honestly don't know , I only know you and maybe this , no it can't be " i say trying to recall" it can't be ?" She smirks and drags me to our room "what can't be" she crosses her long legs , "I met this guy in an empty class on my first day at school , he's name is Adrian I think"I reply thoughtfully"there are so many adrians my love" she says calmly"no I mean Adriel tanned skin, emerald eyes , tall , gold hair"I describe thoughtfully, Laura stands up her height and aura is so intoxicating, she looks down at me with her siren eyes " be careful, "
She looks away and walks toward a beautiful looking bubble dress, "try it on"
The dress is black and filled with gold glitters it hugged parts of my body at its best the person who sent this was really intentional
"Get your hair done by tomorrow I'll make sure to protect you before your prince charming arrives"she says mocking me" you look good baby "
I blushed at those words a girl telling anothrr girl how beautiful she looks is a new kind of flex I am so excited for tomorrow
The moment I step through the archway, the sound hits me first — a heavy, pulsing beat that vibrates straight through my bones. It isn't music like on Earth; it is a mix of drum-thunder, whispered chants, and something like a thousand heartbeats syncing at once. The air is thick with a sweet–metallic scent, like fruit mixed with blood.
Lights flicker in colors I don't have names for, casting everyone in glimmering shadows. Wings, horns, tails and fangs glint under the strobes as creatures sway and spin. Some float above the floor as if gravity is optional; others crawl on all fours or slither between dancers. Laura left me halfway through typical
At one end, a bar carved from black stone oozes a glowing drink into crystal chalices. At another, a circle of fire marks a dance pit where two shadowy figures spin so fast they blur, their laughter echoing like bells underwater.
The kissing and making out all around me is enough to make me gag I tell you , just to hear the sounds of chatter and laughter I see a lit pool fill up with ladies in bikinis
Ohh yes it happens to be Adriel making them laugh typical,
I turn around hoping he won't notice me" how rude to look so beautiful in the dress your date sent you and you won't even express gratitude oh dear " he ticks as he rises from the water his tanned body is dripping from the water , ohh dear not the sudden urge to drool ,the girls he left behind are basically stabbing me with their eyes
"Seems you're a bit busy ,I'll go now thank you for the invite "I said whispering"where are you running off to I could faint who will give me CPR like you wanted to do that the first time I figured now would be the right time to do it"he smirks seeing he has an effect on me" no I didn't I just wanted to help you... if .....but you were fine so I'm going to go now" I walk away embarrassed only it's bump into someone else he's still pale black haired Gray eyes and in aura I could kill a soul
"Oh my sweet brother these bitchesz I've let you with so many, I want this one" the guy said mischievously "all right little brother she's a good girl she's not a bitch " he says drying up "let's go" his voice so soft and low "oh my goodness what's your name" the guy said looking at me like I was piece of chocolate that he wants to eat up "I am Kiki" I say almost a whisper "oh she's so shy, don't do that baby you're turning me on "says like a freak "all right cut it out that okay they're scaring her" Adriel says getting a bit annoyed"don't mind this little rat yeah like they know nothing but you're literally the worst slots guess what this guy right here he's going to f*** you so hard you hate yourself and hiding the shadows like you're supposed to so you wanna__" boom he got hit so hard in the face his nose bled blue"Rolex I'm going to warn you for the last time do not ever piss me off in public again we'll get the f*** out of my face"
Adriel drags me by the arm and walks out like he would kill someone who crosses his path
"Hey hey hey hold up,let me go who do you think you are"i say gathering as much courage as possible " I thought you'd like it when I drag you " he curled a smile "are you using me to steer drama , I would have been in my room but no you called me here to embarrass me in front of the whole school , who even is that guy "i yell looking up to him he's so tall and broad he places his fingertips through his hair like that's his hobby ,his Adam Apple springs to view "trust me you're not that special" "oh wow and you got me a dress " I say trying hide my pain while mocking him "ohhh I got for the other girls you saw at the pool too ,I don't my girls looking well dead not like you aren't already" he said chuckling , I fall silent with the last bit of strength I can gather "why did you defend me " hiding my tears he softens "cause you're my kitten and my brother was picking at you , I didn't like it" he lowers to my level "don't be sad I brought you out here to show you something" he rises and gently pulls me to through a field
The night is so beautiful the stars twinkles ,and the moon shines ever so bright I look down hearing the most familiar sounds
My parents
