《The Ruby Eyes Serpent》Prologue - The day that I die

Prologue - The day that I die The day was much colder than usual, with the late autumn wind blowing against her long almond hair, which in turns whips her face continuously throughout the day that it is starting to become annoying.

On this day, at 4, she was to meet her 'many' friends beside an old well, on the outskirts of town. When she got there, two of her friends were already there, waiting for her to arrive. She was the last to arrive.

"What took you so long, Ruby.” Her friend asked her. ”You made the bet and lost, fair and square. So now you must do a dare.” Her friend said which she couldn’t reject since it’s true. “Or are you going back on your words. Scaredy Cat! I dare you to jump over that old well.” Her so-called friends instigated the dare. ”I don’t think jumping over the old well is safe. What if by accident, she trips, and unfortunately fell into the old well.” One of her friends immediately raised a concern about the dangers for her own safety. However, she was immediately shut down by her other friend. ”Just shut up for a moment, Sara.” The so-called friend shouted at the girl called Sara. She then turns towards her, with a smug look on her face. “What are you? A sissy or not! Now jump, you scaredy-cat!” The so-called friend hurled numerous insult at her.

"Yeah! yeah! I’ll make sure to pay you back the next time!” She said having grown slightly annoyed.

After saying this, she pulled her jeans up and got up on the outer rim of the old stone wall. Not before taking her last breath.

"Well, are you going to do it or what?" Her so-called friend further instigates her to do the dare.

"I’ve had enough! I say I will do it in a minute! So just shut up or else I’m gon. . ." She shouted out in great frustration. As she was shouting to one of her friends, one of the stone bricks beneath her feet then becomes dislodged. It caused the whole old stone well to collapse, bring her down alongside with it. "WHHAAAAAAAA-aaaaaa . . ." She screamed at the top of her lungs as her body tumbles down to the bottom of the well. Her head smashes against a nearby blunt object, causing a major head concussion, but she is still alive. However, the rubbles of the collapse old stone well then fell on top of her, killing her within seconds.

The two friends at the top of the collapsed old stone well, saw it all happen, as she plummeted to the ground. After seeing this, the girls both rush over to the edges of the collapsed stone well, to look for any signs of their friend. With the one called Sara calling out to her. Sara started yelling, "RUBY ARE YOU ALIVE! CAN YOU STILL HEAR ME!" However, Sara heard no response from her. So they both assumed that she was indeed dead. Just before her consciousness then fades into the darkness. Memories start to flash before her eyes, from the earliest moment that she could remember till now. Her whole life flashed before her eyes, as she fell down the well; she realized that everything was fruitless, her life was meaningless and terrible. 'I realized that my life sucks ass; born into a poor family, with no father. Living in a bad neighbourhood, with plentiful of gang violence. And dying young. Even if I made it out alive, I don't have any future prospects because of my bad grades.' She cried helplessly at the thought of being homeless, because of her huge hospital bill and debts. 'At the very least, there is a silver lining to all this. There is no more school!' She exclaimed.

As her body inevitably hits the bottom of the old stone well, her head then hits hard against an old discarded wooden bucket. Left to grow mould and old at the bottom of the unused stone well. Her head hits hard against the wooden bucket, making the broken shards of wood penetrate her skull, and causing some internal bleeding. However, she was still alive. The collapsed rubble of the old stone well then falls on top of her, crushing her instantly with their combined weight. With the very last moments of her life, she then makes a joke to end her own misery.

"It seems that I've kicked the bucket, huh! Goodbye Life, and Hello Death!"

Drip, Drop! x2

The sounds of water droplets enter her ears, as her body lay down against the floor unconscious.

She woke up to find herself in a white room, devoid of anything but a golden pedestal at the center of the room. And on top of the golden pedestal, there is a human shape hand imprint on the surface of it.

When she tried to get up, her body felt extremely heavy, whilst her mind is extremely confused.

"Where is this place?" She asked herself.

She remembered dying and such, but now she is here. Where exactly is here to be exact. Is this the afterlife, heaven, purgatory, or maybe hell.

"Young child, who died before her time. I offer you a second chance of life in another world." A mysterious voice then enters her head.
