With this, I started my training, although I don't know if it applies to walking up the stairs, running around the house, or using the broomstick as a weight. As years went by, I slowly progressed and hit a wall. My health was deteriorating, causing my physical health to slowly decline. I faced myself in a mirror, noticing at least one positive, and I put my hand on my cheeks. It seems like even in this life, I’ll be a magnet. A smirk went across my face without me noticing.

  Luck was on my side, though, as we were going on vacation to a cavern in a month or so.

  “Ash!” she snuck behind me in an attempt to scare me.

  “Ah,” I noticed her long ago, still deciding to put no effort into acting.

  “I wanna show you something, you can't tell Mommy or Daddy, ok?” She placed herself in front of me as a grin grew across her face.

  “K, l promise, just let me grab my watch, then you can lead the way. ” I got up and stretched, curious as to what she could show me, putting on my watch as I followed her out of the house.

  She grabbed my hand, leading me to a trail behind our house that led to a small pond. It was well kept, but not by any human, it was surrounded by greenery, served as a great view of the great ridge, and had a small dock with 2 matching boats.

  “Amazing, right? I always come here whenever I feel down,” She smiled at her secret spot.

  “Yeah, I can see why you would wanna come here. It gives a sense of peace.” I stood there awestruck and glanced at the boats.

  “That's why I brought you here,” she whispered in my ear as she started running to the dock. “Last one there is a rotten slime!”

  I started going after her, “Hey, that's not fair, you got a head start!” I arrived soon after her and saw her getting into a boat.

  “What are you waiting for? You wanna give me another head start?” she grinned at me and then at the other boat.

  “Nope, not again!” I got into the other boat, and we both started rowing near each other. We lined up, getting ready to race.

  “On your marks. Get set, go!” As she finished, we both started rowing as fast as we could. I was slowly gaining the lead, we approached the edge of the pond, and I started turning, but saw that she had stopped rowing. I ignored it, though, and continued rowing until I heard my splashing to my left. “Attack!!” She went into a pirate pose with a smile reaching from ear to ear.

  I turned and saw her darting to me, time slowed. I noticed her speed was going to tip the boat, I attempted to go overboard but slipped, forgetting I had much smaller limbs, and the boat rammed into mine. I was flipped with it as it started sinking. I tried to move out from under its path, and my foot somehow got stuck. As I ran out of oxygen, I started to feel as if this was all too familiar. My vision slowly faded along with faint screams.
