the shock grew worse when she realized that she was floating in the middle of the room. She looked down at herself, her ankle had completely healed, her lip and hand were no longer bleeding either, whereupon all she had left was one conclusion, which she stammered out quietly and in shock.
"I ..., I - am - death."
"No you're not. Don't worry, you didn't want to die and you shouldn't die! That's why I had to save you because your time is not up yet, unlike Chris's."rang out the same, unknown, warm and heartfelt voice."What's all this about? I don't understand anything anymore, what am I supposed to do here? Where, am I here? And where are they?"
[i]"I'm everywhere and you are nowhere."
"What?"
"Believe me, little Tyla, you'll understand when it's time to understand. But for now it's about something else."
[i]"I - I don't know what you mean. I'm sorry."
"You don't have to feel sorry for anything. Listen, you said you would do anything for him for a moment and now I'll give you the chance to do something."
Tyla was silent and stared into the white emptiness. The tears were still running down her face, the only thing she was capable of.
[i]"I'll give you the opportunity to undo what happened. You know, death doesn't like being deprived of its work, so certain rules have to be observed. I'm turning back time, right up to the first day of summer vacation. However, you will be able to remember everything, otherwise you would have no chance to save your lover. ""How ...?", Tyla didn't believe what she was told. It was all so absurd and unreal. Even if she has always believed in God, it was beyond her imagination.
[i]"No, please don't ask any questions! Just listen! Because that's not all. You won't be able to return as a human being, otherwise it would be far too easy. You will take on the shape of another being and as this is It is then your job to save the boy. Should you fail he will of course die, but you too will be punished. You have to eke out your existence on earth for a hundred years and that in the form in which you were sent back. Only after the hundred years have passed you have to be allowed to rest in peace. So you have to make a decision! Do you want to give up everything for the little hope to still lead a life with him? "
[i]"But why?"
"Because I cannot allow you to kill yourself. One day the moment will come when I will need you and therefore you must not die today, and certainly not like that!"
The voice still echoed, but then there was deathly silence. Tyla took a deep breath. In her mind she repeated the last words. All of this seemed to her like a dream, a dream into which she escaped from reality.
"Will you tell me your decision now?", the friendly voice continued.
"Yes ..., I - I'll do it. I would do anything to save him. Everything. I take every risk, because it can't be worse than now!"
[i]"Well then, then I'll fulfill this wish for you."
Terrified, Tyla nodded and looked around worriedly. She expected that something would happen now, but it wasn't. Horrified, she turned around and her breathing became faster again and the tears flowed again. Just as fear regained the upper hand and she was about to call for the unknown voice, the same, white, radiant light shone. It stung Tyla's eyes, but at the same time filled her with a familiar warmth and satisfaction in which she lost herself.Suddenly everything went black around her and all feeling disappeared.

The shining starry sky had stretched across the country and covered everything in darkness. A cool breeze made the sleeping Tyla shudder. Her muscles contracted and so gradually she began to wake up. Her eyelids were already flickering a little, but she wasn't really awake yet. With relish she turned and lolled around until she disliked to find that she was on the cold forest floor. Startled, she opened her eyes and looked horrified into the darkness, whereby her eyes only slowly got used to the prevailing light conditions.
