Life and Death

Chapter 10

Nyx flinched at that recommendation. New friends. She wanted nothing to do with that thought. If not for her inability to refuse Sally's company, she doubted that this night would've ever even happened. Regardless she took a minute to put her thoughts together, taking a turn down onto another road in the process. "Maybe, though friends are moreso your thing than mine, from what I can tell. I assume your texting one now? Possibly planning to.. test out a human?"

They turned passed an old club, one that seemed somewhat ran down. Construction equipment littered the area, as well as some workers finishing up for the evening. A few of them in particular waved towards the black mustang while others displayed visible worry. Whoever they were, they knew Nyx's vehicle.. though Death seemed to do her best to ignore them. She cruised on down that road, passing by the club and workers and towards a windy back road.

"I love helping out humans! I mean to see a new life be born both literally and figuratively! To help people grow into their shell and a smile. Oh humans smiles. Whenever I see someone smile, I can't help but smile back! Oh and children!", Sally went on with sparkling eyes, "Children aren't pure and yet they somehow are able to hold the facade of being so innocent. They're just simple creatures , with a more wide variety of emotions that they can't put into words. And oh have you seen a child laugh?"

Sally smiles and lays her head against the window and exhales. "Wondering. Dancing and grinning children. I wonder if I had any in my past life. I'm not sure if I even want children . Or if I could even have them?! "

.Nyx froze, the mention of having a child in Sally's past life causing an instantaneous swirl of memory to pulse within her mind. Two names.. Peace and Chaos.. why did they feel so familiar? Regardless, the reaper slowly blinked as she took in what was being said. This building.. of course it was her personal project, though the thought of sharing this information with Sally was enough to cause a shift in her aura. "Humans.. are interesting. Frail, weak.. but resilient. As far as children go.. well, nevermind." The angel finally replied, tackling the first bundle of questions given by the hyper creature.

"Wait." Sally pauses but quickly shrugs off the confusion as she realized where the duo were.

"Oh wow! What are they building? Is it a store? Park? Houses? Oh oh, is the river near here? Am I forgetting something. Did you say something here?" She blinks hard and turns toward Nyx. A wide pearly smile looking at the reaper.

" It's nothing, just a little project, nothing to concern yourself with." Nyx continued, cruising on along. Each winding turn brought about a small rev of the engine. Night wilderness peeked from within those shadowy woods.

"ooo project! Project! Like a school project but super sized? Are you already ahead in the learning Nyx? Or maybe a project with a hospital right? It would make the most sense of it was related to something like that no? Emergency center? " Sally made her guesses but knew Nyx wouldn't confirm or deny. Which means she ran her mouth all night until the car finally stopped. She had a lot of guesses. There were millions of different buildings and places in the world, and of course life knew all of them. At one point she even guessed space center, her imagination running wild with thoughts.

"Or maybe it would be a shady CEO thingy! When I was in middle school, a random place was built from across the school. Expect it wasn't a CEO big glass building type deal. It was actually a real life factory! They were trying to run us out! Or maybe it was just because they wanted to use up all the space in the city before moving outwards! That would make a lot of sense now that I think about it. But then they could have moved down the street instead! So strange. Or the project could not be a project at all! It could be a secret mission !" Sally claps her hands at the thought. Like they were on a movie!
