Chapter 1 - Disappearing
"Jazmine! Jazmine, where did you go? Let me help you! Come on, Jazz!" Wil. She was calling me, non-stop. Just leave me alone, Wil. You can't help me now. I ran, not wanting her to see what happened next. My dreams were dashed, however, when I collapsed onto the hard ground of the forest, my eyes rattling with green lights and numbers.
"No...!" I moaned, writhing on the ground. I felt myself slipping away.
"Jazz! There you are! You need to get back to the hospital. You're sick!" Wil crouched down, gently brushing my hair back from my face. By now my body had gone still. "No, Jazmine! Don't leave. There's so much you still need to do! What about being a princess? We were gonna be princesses together..." She laughed, choking on the tears that were splattering on my face like a spring rain, warm and heavy. My eyes closed, I was starting to go limp.
"Warswords...of Karuchan. Wil, you...need...to...know," I gasped, the last words escaping my mouth. Then, I died.
"JAZMINE!!" Wil screamed at the top of her lungs. "Jazz..." She kissed my forehead as if tucking me into bed. "Goodnight, my friend. I will figure out what you wanted to tell me, eventually."

Wilhelmina turned on her cellphone, trying to get ahold of her parents, or mine. "Come on, come on! Someone pick up, please!" She glanced over sadly at her dead friend as her father finally picks up. The tears were still flowing freely. "Dad? Oh my gosh, thank you! Finally! Um, so... I'm here with Jazmine, but..." The years she had been trying to hold in suddenly fell in great number.
"Willy? What is it? What's wrong?" Her dad was frantically asking questions over the phone.
"She's..." She choked out.
"Oh. My God. I'll be right there, honey. Try to hold it together until I get there, okay?" He did his best to calm his devastated daughter.
"O...okay. I'm at th...the, um. Grennelade For...forest."

A/N
Question: Do you think this chapter was too short? Or too long? Please comment to give me advice.
Also, there will be a flashback (probably in the next chapter) of what happened before, with the sickness and such.
