Energy bombs, Death Shrouds and Time Travel

I see a story through a time traveler's eyes. (To make this easier, I'll name her Ann). Not only can she travel through time, she can see people shrouded by death. It's a curse that heralds unavoidable death and looks like black and dark blue ethereal mass surrounding a person. The shroud's size grows when the person is close to death.

I watch her travel through time, trying to save her friend, Trista, who is shrouded by death. Trista has long blue/purple hair. In the future the shroud is so massive that Trista is not visible to Ann. Ann travels back in time to a school yard. Trista is there and the shroud is small enough for her to be barely visible. Ann and Trista hold hands. I can't hear what Trista is saying, but Ann is silent and looks at the ground.

Scene changes to some kind of hair saloon. It's one long room with big windows towards a busy street. There are stairs leading upstairs. Wood panel floor and lots of mirrors and chairs. The saloon is full of people. Trista is sitting there and Ann appears with a dog.

All color disappears from the scene and time stops. Other time travelers appear from alternate worlds. Some of them are human, some are foxes or other animals. They each leave a bright energy bomb in the saloon and disappear. Since time is still, the room gets filled up with these bombs. The scene looks beautiful. Ann makes time crawl forward. I watch in super slow motion how the bombs all swirl open and white, raging flames wash over everything and everyone in the room. This pure white flame doesn't leave bones or even ash behind. Everything is vaporized, except Ann, Trista and the dog. Still in slomo, Ann hugs Trista. The flames die down. Ann believes Trista is saved from the shroud. She asks Trista to join her on some adventures through time, since all three of them are now immortal.

I don't really understand what happened at the end there, but it was beautiful.
