And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

"Reborn?" I asked, pausing at the idea. "What do you mean?"

"You don't honestly think that when you die that's just it?" The laughter that escaped her I didn't find amusing. I wasn't asking for her to laugh at me. I didn't know how things worked. My parents only ever told me what I was supposed to know and nothing else. "I don't see what's so amusing."

Taking a moment, she cleared her throat and sighed. "When you die, you're reborn, or at least most of you are. Melissa, like some of the others who are pure-hearted, are given this opportunity."

Hearing this made me feel slightly better, but it didn't stop the ache in my heart from the loss of my friend. "Oh. So am I going to be when I die?"

Freya hesitated a moment, before opening and closing her mouth again before simply smiling.

"That's a conversation for another day, but don't worry, it's nothing for you to bother with right now. All I want you to do is to get situated in your new room."

Before I could reply a soft voice called out from inside my room. "Knock knock!"
