I ran to safety but dropped down in pain. Someone had hit me with a Cruciatus Curse. The pain was so unbearable I could barely stand. Tears were streaming down my face as the pain finally let up. I got up and ran back to cover. I didn't make it very far before I heard "AVADA KADAVRA!"  The whole world stopped as my body hit the ground. The curse had blocked my lungs and I was struggling to get air. Then everything turned white. I saw Stella, she had been crying. "Stella? Where are we? Are you okay?" She sobbed and then screamed out "DON'T YOU GET IT? WE'RE DEAD TALI! WE DIED AND NOW WE HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS FOREVER! We're dead..." Her voice drifted off and she broke into sobs again. "Hey," I whispered, "everything's going to be okay. We're safe now." Stella's body drifted away slowly. I was confused as I ran back and forth through the never ending field of white. I slumped down on the ground and decided to accept the fact that I was dead. I shifted back through to the battle. "W-what? Am I alive?" I looked down to see my transparent legs peeking out from my skirt. I was floating. "I'm a ghost?" I floated back into the castle to find Stella staring at her body. My body was sprawled out on the cot right next to hers. Stella's ghost looked happy. "Don't worry," she whispered to me, "we're safe now."
