Does She Have a Death Wish?

It all happened and was over in a matter of a few seconds. The cave stopped trembling and the rocks ceased falling. When I uncovered my head I found Angela and James looking at each other. They were making sure each other was okay. Looks like I’m completly forgotten…

I stood up and walked towards the portal.

“Anna no!” Angela.

“I’m just looking. I won’t go in if you don’t want me to.” I said looking back at them innocently.

“If you go to close you won’t have a choice Anna. Come over here and I’ll explain.” She said.

I reluctanly walked over and sat down, purposefully right near James. He sifted so he wasn’t quite so close. I was hurt.

”..that’s where I live…where I came from.. you can come..” I only heard parts of whatever Angela was saying. Finally we got up. As we walked towards the poral I saw Angela grab James’ hand. Does she have a death wish?

They let me go through first. I could feel the tears burning my eyes. As soon as they couldn’t see I cried, then I stepped though.
