..Flash..
In the middle of a busy street, a flame was slowly growing out of the ground, forming a sphere of fire.
The fire soon settled and returned back into the ground, revealing a young lady with black hair, lavender tips. Smooth light brown skin and bright yellow eyes. She was dressed in a vibrant red cropped sweater, shorts that barely passed her knees, red fish-net stockings that matched her sweater, past ankle black boots and a long burgundy scarf.
Sigh..."Not a single glance..," the girl softly whispered.
She was right. No one had seen the sphere of fire. No one had seen the beautiful girl. Everyone on that busy street kept focus on their own works.
"..Well, it's not like I was expecting anything."
The young lady's voice was soft and gentle yet filled with sadness. But what did she mean you ask?
The girl then pulled out a giant scythe from behind her back. 2 pouches suddenly appeared on a belt around her waist.
"Time to get to work," the girl moped.
Young Lady's POV:
Oh, so you're curious about what's going on? If you weren't, I don't think you'd still be here..
Anyway, My name's Reaper 0053, or 5-3 (five-three) for short. I guess my name's a little weird,, I can't remember my human name so it doesn't really matter to me.
Right...to clear up your confusion, I am a Reaper.
Every once in awhile, human souls that are sent to hell are turned into Reapers. Not just any soul, but the ones who almost made it to heaven. Chaotic Good, I guess.
If you're thinking that there are more Reapers besides me, you're right. So why is it that you're hearing my story and not some other Reaper's story or some happy ever after? I don't know, ask the author...actually, she probably wouldn't know either.
Reaper's look like regular humans, ignoring the fact they float around on their giant scythe for fast transportation. Each Reaper also has their own long ass scarf.
Oh, am I not supposed to curse- Alright...
I don't know why Reaper's have to look like humans when human beings can't even see us. Guess headquarters didn't consider that..
A Reaper's job is to guide dead souls to the entrance of Heaven...or the gate to the basement/Hell. Everyone is assigned their own region. It's a little complicating figuring out where to go when you first start but that isn't really important.
Enough with the explanation.. I have to get to work..
NO POV:
5-3 took her scythe and threw it to the ground. Without touching the floor, it bounced up; as if it and the Earth were magnets, pushing away from each other but still close.
She comfortably sat down and began slowly floating down the street. A few blocks ahead, there was an alley. 5-3 stepped off her transportation tool in-front of the shady dead-end and wandered in.
There lay a tired black cat, which seem to had been hit with a car in the traffic outside the alley. It was lucky to wobble into the alley but it was clear that the poor cat wasn't going to survive.
5-3 frowned. She was quite a fan of animals more than human beings. Reaching for her scythe, she swung back, ready to collect the poor felines life until..
5-3 P.O.V:
I was getting ready to take the little cats soul but I stopped when I notice a human standing at the opening of the alley. I glanced at him slightly and watched as he began slowly walking down the alley. He walked up to the cat, crouched down and gently stroked her.
"So she's dying.." he sighed, "I understand now."
What was this guy doing here?
He looked as if he was in his early 20s, brown hair, dark green eyes.
I got tired of waiting(because I didn't want to accidentally take the mans life too) and began to complain.
"Ugh, what does this human thing wannttt..let me do my jobbbb"
Then, the man looked straight at me.
We locked eyes..
But..he couldn't really see me..right?
T.B.C
A/N (Author's note):
Don't worry, I'm working on a decent cover atm-
