(ON HOLD)The Tale From Death to Death

Limbo

With the mixture finished, Death tuned to Jessica. He looked at her with kind eyes. "Now Jessica, if you will give me the soul we will give him a chance to live again."

Jessica hesitated before finally handing the soul over to death. She watched as he took the stopper from the jar. Next he took a ladle  from where it hang and carefully scooped the mixture in to the soul's jar.

Nothing happened at first, and this frightened Jessica. All of a sudden dark blue light filled the room as a portal opened. Her eyes filled with wonder as she peered in to it. She could see a world where people milling about. Occasionally someone would slowly dissappear.

She hadn't realized that she was about to lean in to the portal until death grabbed the back of her shirt and pulled her away.

"You don't want to do that." He said as he stepped in front of her, releasing her shirt. "If you go there without permission from me or a reaper, you will never be able to get back...... nor live another life." He almost whispered the last part, as if it had happened before. "now all we need to do is put the soul in to limbo and this job will be done." He became refocused so fast that Jessica was still shocked that she had almost entered limbo. She shook her head and looked at him.

"How do we do that?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. Death smiled at her, with a light in his eyes that she liked vary much.

"You see" he paused  and tilted the jar upside-down over his hand. "We guide him through to the other side." The soul slid nicely from the jar and floated down to Death's hand.

In an instant he had his hand through the portal, and Jessica gasped in surprise. After a moment of stillness Jessica could see death release the soul on the other side of the portal. He pulled his hand back and allowed Jessica watch. Jase's soul was transforming from a small ball into a large morphing shape. It momentary stayed at the shape of a wolf and then shifted to a human.

" this is the shape that he will stay in until it is time for him to live again." Death said as he tuned away from the portal.it slowly began to close as he made his way to his desk. Jessica stared at the closing space for a moment more. "Wow" she breathed.
