colors stretched several
feet from us.
“ Can you hear me?” I thought to
Landen. I could see him next to his body and feel his awe as he
took in all the colors.
He looked up and nodded with an awestruck
smile on his face. “I didn’t think that is was possible for you
to be any more beautiful,” he thought, rising to come to my
side. Standing beside their bodies, Libby and Preston were watching
us both, and the same white glow that connected me and Landen
surrounded the two of them. The colors were not the same, though;
they had a beautiful shade of pink surrounding them that stretched
into a violet.
“ I wish we could talk to them,” I
said to Landen.
Preston and Libby looked at each other and
smiled, then looked up at us. They raised their heads to the sky,
leading us to follow their stare. I slowly raised my head to see
the most amazing thing that I had ever laid my eyes on: the normal
sky was gone; it was replaced by a beautiful sea of colors. It
looked as if there were small pearls of light floating along an
invisible current. Where our bodies remained, the sea of colors
opened and let a beautiful glow of white light - more amazing than
diamonds - flow into our color.
Preston grabbed my hand and Libby took
Landen’s as we passed through the field. We weren’t the only one
that had colors; the trees, grass, and flowers had a glow of light
around them. I swear I could see nature take in the air and release
it. I’d always known that nature was life; I’d just never seen it
as a part of us. It was as if we’d been given new eyes to see what
we take for granted every moment of our lives.
I was staring down at the grass, mesmerized
by all the colors, when I noticed that when Preston passed through
the taller blades of grass - they did not move; when I passed
through the grass, though, it moved as if it were solid. I
stopped.
Landen was still looking up at the sky.
“ What is it, Willow?” he asked,
feeling my shock.
“ Preston is passing thorough the grass -
we’re not,” I thought.
Landen looked down at Libby to see her
standing in the middle of a row of flowers. It looked like they
were a part of her. They must have expected us to notice this.
Preston let go of my hand and walked over to Libby’s side. He
leaned down, picked one of the flowers, and held it as if it were
solid. Then he grazed his finger through it, making it look like an
optical illusion. Preston reached up and handed it to Landen. In
Landen’s hands, the flower was solid again. Landen raised his other
hand and tried to pass his fingers through the flower, but it was
still solid. Preston smiled and shook his head, then pointed to his
head.
“ I think he’s trying to tell you it’s in
your head...try seeing it as light,” I thought, reaching down
to pick another flower. Landen looked at me and raised his
eyebrows. I winked at him, then looked down at the red flower in my
hand. I focused on the stunning white glow that surrounded it and
ran my finger through it. As I passed through perfect petals, I
felt the energy that the flower had and felt a tiny tingle ran
through my soul. I smiled at myself and looked at Landen; we
watched him as he tried to do the same. The first time, he found it
solid. Before he tried again, he looked up to the sea of colors in
the sky, then smiled at himself. The next time he ran his finger
through the energy of the flower, I was almost sure I could feel
the energy through him.
We smiled at ourselves, then joined hands,
following Preston and Libby through the field. They led us to Brady
and Felicity’s house, and we could feel that they had several
guests. Brady and Ashten were sitting on the porch; they both had a
white glow around them that stretched somewhere in the house. The
most dominant color around them was green, but it wasn’t as bright
as the one around Landen and me. Preston and Libby broke off from
us, laughing vigilantly as they chased each other through Brady’s
front yard. I
