The Afterlife

V- Necklace

It has passed a few weeks after it, both me and Locus had been in recovery, he hurt his back pretty bad so he can't some movements. As for me, I simply broke my pulse it didn't affect me that much to be honest. Life and Death think I hurt it when trying to do some parkour or something, which is good that they don't suspect anything but I'm pretty sure Death has already noticed that their pet is gone.

Well, right now I'm going to see Locus, I promised I would give him my famous lemon pie for him to eat while he recovers. I finally arrive at it and I knock on his door.

"Come in! The door's open" With that I come in to find Locus laying in bed with Ms.Leonel right beside him.

Ms.Leonel is known as the best doctor on all galaxy, she cures everything and everyone. She is a small strawberry goat, which means that she's both pink and green. Her fur is green and white while the tip of her ears, nose, fingers and her eyes are pink. She also uses a strawberry pin on the doctors clothes. To be honest she looks more like a cow than a goat. She's usually very calm but when working she's a little more fun to try and relax her patients. When she's not working is another story, she's very fun and energetic, she jumps around, talks with everyone, dances etc. She's the best.

When I first came here she was the one who took care of my bruises, I don't remember how bad where the bruises but she says they were worse than other bruise she's seen. And she has seen a lot.

"Al! Hello is nice to see you" she says happy "Is nice to see you as well Ms.Leonel. How is he?" She looks at Locus and kindly says "He's a lot better than before, he just needs a bit of rest for a few days and then he's good to go. And how about you? You hurt yourself pretty bad as well." I look to my right arm seeing the cast and only being able to move my fingers. "It's been fine, I can't move my pulse but its fine" "That's nice, well I think is my time to go" she says while grabbing her things off the floor and desk "Don't you wanna stay for a little? I brought lemon pie!" "That sounds amazing , Al, and you know I love your cooking but I still have other patients to take care." She says almost leaving "Oh! Also, I like the necklace" she says and leaves.

I look over to Locus and put the pie right beside him, I then go look for forks and plates to give him. "So you've been using the necklace?" Locus says while looking at me  "Yeah, I can finally access the Overworld and meet with my friend" "What if Death put a spell on you or the necklace to when you leave Death will know or something?" I try to think of a good answer to it but cant find any so I simply say "Don't worry, I'm pretty sure Death didn't made something like that." "And when will you go there?" "After u shut up and eat this pie I made you!" I say while giving him a plate and fork.

I cut a piece if pie with the knife and give it to him. While we eat we talk a little. We tell more jokes and stories than real talk and everything was doing great till we get to the worse topic for us souls, creatures, angels, demons etc.. Our lifes before death reached us. Locus tells me how he was probably worked at a spaceship or for NASA. He laughs while talking about it while I stay silent , I don't remember anything about my life before this. My name, my age, my nationality, my favorite foods, films , clothes, nothing! My name here is Alexis and my age is 14 but on the Overworld it could be different.

"Do you remember the photo that you saw?" I look at him surprised and shake my head " The man with the circle on his head is my father, I tried to find him but it was unsuccessful . I first tried by finding the other people on it but they were dead. Well, almost everyone. There was one that was alive but it wasn't for long. They said that that man was my father, they said that because we had the same eyes and he same birthmark. " He gets silent probably trying to think of anything to say "He's probably dead by now so it isn't worthy anyway"

We stay silent for a little while till I try to light up the mood by talking nonsense and it works. But after a while of it I see that the necklace is lighting up.

"Looks like its time for you to go" Locus says while looking at me "Go have fun, and be careful" "I will" And with that the necklace starts making a brighter blue light and white and purple particul starts coming out of it. It surrounds me and it teleports me out of there .
