The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 112

Alissa's

POV

The bus fell to the water and I fell to the front of the bus.

I groaned in pain.

The bus started to fill with water and I remained inside.

I might have broken a few bones with the ball and unlike before, I could only heal slowly.

My body quickly submerged in the water but I didn't even dare to move.

I became completely submerged and I held my breath and watched my remaining moments.

Slowly, darkness consumed me and I breathed out the remaining oxygen in my body as I accepted my fate.

I closed my eyes.

Complete darkness.

That was all I can see.

I still remember falling.

I remember the pain of the impact as the bus fell to the water with me inside.

I remember how I drowned.

To think I'd forget it all when I'm dead.

It turns out that traumatic events in my past life will follow me wherever I go.

Complete silence.

Is this what death is?

Then suddenly...

"Alissa"

I gasped awake.

Suddenly, I found myself in an unfamiliar place.

I looked around and it felt like I was in a different dimension.

Is this the afterlife?

This isn't how aunt Livi described it to be.

I looked at myself and realized that I was no longer in the clothes I was in before.

Now, I was in a white sundress.

My brows furrowed a little.

I was absolutely clueless.

I stood up and I started walking.

Where am I really?

I'm quite sure that this is not the after life.

I kept walking until I found myself in a meadow.

I looked around and then up and sun shone brightly and the clouds seemed to be in perfect formation in the sky. Seriously, where am I?

I'm supposed to be dead.

"Alissa"

I turned around to look and I felt like I was almost blinded by the light.

When I looked again, I froze on the spot.

A God.

He walked towards me and I stayed in spot in shock.

Once he was a meter away from me, I actually started processing things and I quickly kneeled and bowed my head.

I heard a slight chuckle.

"Alissa, it's a pleasure to finally meet you in the flesh" he said.

I cautiously looked.

"Pardon?" I said.

"Stand up, Alissa. Let me meet your eye" he said.

I gulped and slowly stood up.

I met eyes with the God and I felt like exploding.

He suddenly took a step closer and then he reached out his hand and caressed my face with the back of his hand.

It sent shivers down my spine.

"Do you know who I am?" he asked.

I couldn't answer.

I wasn't sure which God he was.

I didn't really think I'd meet a God when I die. Maybe an angel but a God?

How does one even get to meet a God?

"You may probably recognize me as the star of day" he said.

I tilted my head to the side.

The star of day?

The sun?

My eyes widened.

The Sun God.

He smiled at me as I realized who he was.

Now, why would I be meeting the sun God out of all the Gods?

Did I do something bad unintentionally?

I mean, I have interacted with human beings way too much.

And I have beaten a good amount of them in a short amount of time.

But like, they were bad people and I only tried to help another human being.

I thought I was doing a good thing.

"You were doing a good thing" the Sun God suddenly said.

I sighed in relief.

Then, realized he could read my mind and he probably heard everything I've been thinking about earlier.

The Sun God chuckled at my surprised reaction.

"I'm sorry if I did anything wrong. I'll admit that I've been constantly in contact with humans these days and a lot of the encounters were not very nice" I said. The Sun God slightly smiled.

"Walk with me" he said.

I gulped and nodded.

I walked with the Sun God and I tried to walk beside him as I politely as I could.

"You ran away for the second time. Or ao I've heard" he said.

I bit my lower lip and he glanced at me and I nodded in response.

"Why is that?" he asked.

I didn't answer. I couldn't answer.

"Okay, it seems you aren't ready to talk about it. I understand" he said and we kept walking.

"You've been doing good deeds for my people. Why is that?" he asked.

I glanced at him a little confused.

"You don't need to associate yourself with them. What happens is to them is none of your business but you help anyway. Why?" he said.

I thought about it.

"Every kind of living being needs help. If I'm able to offer my help, I believe I should. Even if they aren't the same being as I am" I said. The Sun God nodded.

"How do you feel when you help my people?" he asked further.

"I feel relieved, sometimes happy and just glad that I'm able to lend a helping hand" I said.

"How do you feel about living among human beings?" he said.

I thought about it for a moment.

"I actually feel at peace. I also feel thankful. Happy at times" I said.

"Why only at times?" he asked.

I sighed as I looked up.

"Because I constantly mourn for my child" I answered.

The Sun God nodded.

"How would you feel about living among humans and helping them everyday?" he asked and I looked at him.

"But I'm dead. I felt myself die" I said confused.

"Still, think about it. How do you think you'd feel?" he asked again.

I pondered upon the question for a moment.

"Good. I think I'd feel good. And maybe I'd be able to replace a good reason to live" I said.

The Sun God smiled.

"Would you want that?" he said.

I looked at him for a moment not knowing what to say.

"I'll give you more time to think" he said.

I gulped and nodded then he gave me a slight pat on the back and left.

I was left alone and realized I was by suddenly by the sea.

How and when did I even get here?

I sat down on the sand.

I thought about what the Sun God said.

Would I want that?

Time passed by as I kept asking myself so many questions..

But only one question mattered the most.

Would my child want that for me?

And deep inside my heart, I knew.

I knew that the answer was yes.

I closed my eyes and laid down on the sand.

My baby would've wanted that.

She would've wanted me to live.

She would've wanted me to help other people.

She would've wanted me to try again.

So, yes. I guess I do want that.

"Alissa"

I slowly opened ny eyes and saw the Sun God again.

I got up and faced him.

"I'm guessing you already know the answer" he said.

I nodded.

"I do" I said.

"And what might that be?" he asked.

I took a deep breath.

"I want it. I want to help others" I said.

The Sun God smiled.

"As expected of you" he said.

Then, he held out his hand.

"Come. Let me show you something" he said and I accepted his hand.

The Sun God led me to the water.

We stopped just when the water was below my knees.

"Look" he said and motioned for me to look at the water.

In the reflection of the clear water, I saw different scenarios.

There was a sick person.

A dying person.

People who are harassed.

Some killed.

My heart squeezed inside my chest.

"You're special, Alissa. You're brave. Even fearless" he said.

"If you were given a choice whether to help these people, you would, wouldn't you?" he said and looked at me.

I nodded.

"I would" I said.

"There are people like them that need you, Alissa" he told me.

"If you are willing, you can help them" he said.

"But how? I'm dead. I'm sure I died in that accident" I said.

The Sun God looked at me.

"You're right" he said.

"You died in that accident" he added.

Hearing the confirmation made me uneasy.

I was right.

I am dead.

"But I'm willing to give you another chance to life. Give you another life" he said.

I looked at the Sun God for a moment.

"And what will I owe if I accept this life?" I asked.

The Sun God didn't answer immediately.

I felt nervous.

"Your day" he said.

"You will help my people during the day. Half of your being belongs to me" he continued.

"After the sun sets, you can choose to live your life as you please. If you choose to be the being you once were during the night, I will not stop you. But during the day, your life will be dedicated to serving me and helping humans" he said.

I bit my lower lip.

Then, I thought about it.

I looked at the Sun God.

"Okay. I accept" I said.

The Sun God smiled.

Then, he led me further and deeper in the water until I was completely under.

I didn't feel like I was drowning as the Sun God held my hand.

Then, he pulled me to him and placed his forehead on mine before holding my face.

"I will see you again soon, dearest Alissa" he said.

Then, I gasped awake.

The beeping sounds of machinery was the first sound I heard as I woke up.

My sight was blurry and I couldn't move my body.

"She's awake! Call the doctor quickly. She's awake" I heard a female voice say.

The scent of the room was familiar and I tried remembering it.

Then, I realized that it was the smell of the hospital.

I saw a silhouette but my vision was still blurry.

"Miss? Can you see me? Can you hear me?" a female voice said.

I closed my eyes again and nodded weakly.

"She's responding. Where's doc?" the woman said.

Then, I heard more commotion and more voices.

Hospital staff checked on me.

"It's a miracle. How could she be alive after what happened?" I heard someone say.

"She's been in a coma for 3 months. She was pronounced brain dead 2 months ago. She also went through multiple cardiac arrests. It really is a miracle that she's still alive" another said.

I was in a coma for 3 months?

I was brain dead?

It was all so overwhelming to me.

"Lisa? Lisa! Lisa!"

It was Mildred's voice.

I can hear her call me with a desperate tone.

Mildred...

I tilted my head to the sound of her voice.

The beeping sounds became louder.

My sight started to clear up.

Then, I finally saw Mildred.

She rushed to my side when the nurses let her go and she looked at me with tears in her eyes.

I felt happy to see her.

"Oh dear. Finally" she said as tears streamed down her face.

I smiled weakly.

"M...mi...Mil...dred" I muttered.

Mildred smiled and held my face.

"Yes, dear. It's me. It's Mildred" she said.

I smiled.

Multiple doctors checked on me and they all seemed astounded to see me alive.

Mildred stayed by my side and held my hand.

I still felt weak and I knew I needed a good amount of time to recover.

One of the things that welcomed me back to the real world was my room that was filled with flowers, balloons, stuffed toys and many others.

I wanted to ask Mildred about it but I couldn't even speak yet.

I sighed internally.

I tilted my head to the side where the window was and I saw my reflection.

I smiled weakly.

I can't believe I'm thinking this but....

I'm glad to be back.
