"Where do you think I will go when I die?"

"A beautiful place"

"What does it look like?"

I pause for a moment. What can I tell her? I must comfort her.

"There is a beautiful valley.

The people will greet you there.

Your pain will they share.

They have come to help you.

They are only a few.

There are beautiful trees.

There might be a few bees.

There is also a big lake.

You can give and take.

They have built a house for you.

It is still new.

Inside you will find a bed.

Of flowers it is made.

For you they had it saved.

There is no evil in that world.

This place you have earned.

The moon will be watching over.

You can find a clover.

It will tell you:

They like it here to."

"That sounds nice."

Aline says with tears in her eyes."

"It is". "I can't wait to sleep in that comfy bed". she smiles. Tears fall from my eyes. "Do you think... my dad will be there?" the question is heartbreaking. "yes". I tell her. She smiles at me one last time. The hand that was holding mine falls to the ground. she breathes out one final time. Her eyes stare into nothingness. A cannon shot can be heard. I sigh. Even though I just met her, I felt heartbroken. She was so fun and sweet. Now I'm sitting with her lifeless body. Sam puts his hand on my shoulder. "We have to get her out of here before the aircraft comes" I tell him. He silently nods. I take my knives from her. She must have lost Sams axe in the forest. Together we carry her without saying a word. What were we supposed to say? There was nothing to say. She is gone. She is dead because of the careers. I will get my revenge somehow. They can pay with their lives.
