Skylar’s POV

Eric…Eric…Eric…Eric…Eric…

The name repeated itself like a mantra in my head, telling my being that this was important. I was supposed to remember this for whatever reason.

My body was so tired. Why was I still attached to it? I knew it was decaying, becoming one with the earth around it, and yet I was not moving on.

I saw a face in my mind’s eye. It was gloriously beautiful. I registered that much, even in death. The eyes were a soft blue, and the hair a perfect white-gold.

This face brought with it a kind of warmth that in fact could not be related to any physical heat. I recognized this feeling.

And then I heard the name once more.

And I knew.
