Prelude I find the knife in the silverware drawer. "At last." I murmur, my finger tracing the sharp edge. Laying down on the perfect white couch, I place my farewell letter on my heart. Taking the knife, I hold it to my throat... My older sister Jessica barges into the room, and sees what I'm doing. "Seriously? You want to die a second time?" she says, shaking her head in disbelief. "Come on, we've got to go welcome the newly dead." I sigh, getting up and following her out of the house. "Who is it this time?" I ask. "Err..... I think you might want to find out on your own. I've got a meeting to attend." she tries to sound calm, but I can hear the uneasy edge in her voice. As she hurries away, I get a fleeting glimpse of a worried frown crossing her face. I decide to hurry up and find out what's making Jessi so upset. I spread my wings and launch myself into the air. In a few moment, I find myself at the gates of Heaven. I look around, and nearly faint. No, no! This can't be. It's just a dream. I didn't see little Katie. Not possible. I close my eyes and give myself a pinch, but when I open them.... she's still there. She's running towards me, her long golden hair flowing behind her in the wind. I still can't comprehend it. How could sweet innocent little Katie have died? She's so young, not even 5 yet. My mind is whirling with thoughts as she reaches me. "Katie Kins!" I exclaim, with a huge smile on my face. "How did you come to this lovely place?" I say, trying to be happy for her sake. "You've grown so much! Come, let's get you cleaned up for judging." Why? How? I gave my life up for her to live. The enchantment was supposed to last until she was 12... Oh Katie Kins. Why... Oh why.....
