Sarah Williams.... Has sadly passed away.

Why was it so hard to breath?
Why are these pews so uncomfortable?

"My sister... was a wonderful woman..."

Toby spoke into the microphone with a trembling voice. His hands clung together in a fit of nervous sweatiness, straining with the struggle and pain of having to speak at his sister's funeral.

The audience looked up at him with pity filled eyes that watered with sorrowful tears.

"... the very best sister I could have ever hoped for.... She kept my days filled with whimsical stories a-and p-playful adventures" Toby began to choke on little sobs, causing Allison to squirm in her seat uncomfortably.
Her mom Heather squeezed His shoulder comfortingly, her brows drawn up in sympathy.

Come on dad.
Almost there, pull it together.

She encouraged... pleaded in her head.

Allison may have been the only person in the whole church not crying.

She cried herself out days ago.

To make up for the lack of tears in her dry eyes, horrific tremors of anxiety would rush through her at terribly moments... Moments when it all became to much.

There was no warning... No preparation...
No bracing for her loss.
It just happened.
She fell asleep healthy and well.
And never woke up.
The worst part is nobody knew what happened. The doctors provided no answers... She was just gone.

Ouch.

Allison's attention dared not wander to the open casket at the front of the room. The burning sadness would flare up every time she pictured her beloved aunt laying there lifeless... Embalmed and prepped to return to the underground forever.

The irony was awful.

Her aunt Sarah's favorite story was one that always made Ally smile as a child.
How a King of the Goblins stole her dad and took him to the underground world as a baby, and her aunt had to solve his magical labrynith to get him back before he was turned into a goblin himself.

Allison grew out of fairy tales a long time ago.

Down in the Underground?

Fait had a sick sense of humor.

Sorry for the short chapter... Just getting things Rockin and Rollin.

Will post again soon
