Chapter 42: She Dies (Ch.42)

Neveah awakened with a quiet gasp, her eyes snapped open as she sucked in a deep, shuddering breath,

She could still feel the chilling cold touch of the darkness grazing over her skin and she shuddered again, taking in another breath.

However just as the refreshing breath of air flowed into her lungs, easing the terror she felt and just at that moment, Neveah froze up in shock.

Air... she was actually taking in air, the formless entity was actually flowing into her lungs, which should not have been possible because... she was dead.

'I'm breathing?' Neveah thought in astonishment as her hand shot up to rest over her chest, 

Sure enough, she could feel the rhythmical rise and fall of her chest as well as her timely heart beats.

A beating heart...did dead people have that too? Neveah could have sworn she felt her heart stop beating, giving out completely as she bled to her death.
