The Story of my Death

Summary:

Ariana can pinpoint the moment in time from where on everything just started moving towards her death. This is the story how she died.

"There is a group of people", Lazarus says. "The begin of a revolution, maybe. We meet up every Saturday. You guys should come and join us", he suggests.
"How have I not known about this? We've lived here so much longer than you do."
"The adults don't want us to know. So, what do you say?"
"Sure, I'm in", I agree.
Misha nods as well, Zoé just crosses her arms and looks at Lazarus like she has just decided that he is not attractive any more.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

My life started the same way it is going to end: With a bullet. 


It began with the bullet my mum caught for my dad. They didn't even know each other. It was during the war, when my parents fought alongside. My mum saw the bullet flying in my dads direction and caught it. When she recovered from her injury they started dating and here I am. 


My life is going to end with a bullet, too. I know it is. 


My mum was hit in the shoulder, and I know it's not going to be the shoulder this time. The shooter is good. The best. I thought of them as an ally. As my friend. 


I guess I was wrong. 

 

The people say you see your whole life when you die. Well, that is not exactly what happened. What I realized was from when on I had marked my fate. It was June eleventh, 2020. The day I met Lazarus White.


My name is Ariana Williams. And this is how I died.
