*??? P.O.V*

My cuts and bruises burned like fire on my skin, my legs were dead tired, I felt like I was going to pass out any minute. I had no idea where I was running to. The red moonlight only lit up as much as it could pass through​ the leaves of the trees. My vision was blurry to the point where I could not see a lot anymore. The trees passed me as I was running, I glanced back and saw people chasing me. My legs carried me faster as I looked back and when I did all my hope was gone. A cliff. A dead end. I had nowhere to go and nowhere to hide. I stopped right before I was about to fall off and looked at the people chasing me. "STOP RIGHT THERE!" One of them shouted. I couldn't do much besides catch my breath. My whole body was shaking with anger and fear. I stumbled back almost falling off the cliff. I held on to the little statue that I stole. I was panting and thought to myself 'Ill never give them this.' I looked down and back up to see that I was surrounded. The red moonlight lit up all of them. They were armed with swords, guns, knives, and various other weapons. Glancing at each of them individually one of them screamed "GIVE US THE ARTIFACT OR PERISH!"
I had three choices.

Number one: I give them the artifact and spend my whole life in jail.
Number two: I don't give them the artifact and die.
Or option number three: I jump off the cliff and die.

I made my decision and looked at all of them and saw they were about to pull their triggers. I clenched my teeth and eyes shut and jumped back. A few bullets got me in the arms or chest area. I felt blood escaping my mouth. My vision was now completely blurry and I couldn't see anything but red. I looked up at the sky and my eyes were closing themselves. Everything has now gone black. I couldn't see, I couldn't hear, I couldn't feel anything.

'Am I dead?' I thought to myself. Reason being that I didn't feel the ground. I slowly opened my eyes and started looking around. I was engulfed in a black space but I still felt like I was falling. 'Where am I?' I asked myself squinting my eyes. I was still in the falling position with my back to the ground and my face looking to the, what used to be the sky. I turned myself around and saw a white light. Next thing I know I'm engulfed in a white space and blacked out.
