A/N: (Hey guys im back!)

"Death!" I hear as I open my eyes to see me standing next to Zero, holding her hand. We are standing in a meadow of lavender. Colors of blue and purple suround us "Come on!" Zero yells to me while pulling me by my hand, while she is running. In result of making me run we run to a white door.

Why is this in the middle of a meadow?
I thought to myself while she pushes me to the door.

I open it and she walks in front of me inside, I look around and it looks like my room "What the-" I say but I was cut off by Zero "Come on." I hear her and I close my eyes to enjoy the sound. "Okay." I said walking to the bed, where she had been sitting. The bed looks wobbly like someone is laying there, to my surprise she moves the blanket, and my eyes go wide to what I see, Myself laying in a ritual circle with a dagger in my chest. "What!" I stumble, taken aback to see myself.
"Death wake up."
"What?"

I open my eyes to see the ceiling, Ah I remember I was sleeping on the couch wi- before I could finish my though I hear "Morning sleepyhead!" I look down at my lap and I see Zero there, smiling. She gets up and she goes to the kitchen, "HELP MEH." She yells to me in a funny voice, I smile, and I get up and stretch. "Sure." I said in a groggy voice. I head to the kitchen, and I walk up to her, "What do you need help with?" I ask as she pushes me to a cutting board "Help me cut the strawberries." I nod in response, and I get a knife from the wood holder, and I begin to cut the strawberries for her, "What are you making?" I ask not taking my eyes off my hands "I'm making waffles, but I wanted to add some sweetness and some color to it." She says giving me a weird and funny look.

"Oh alright. You really like waffles huh?" I ask smiling, knowing full well she's going to start going off about waffles. "UM YEA! I love waffles they are fluffy and just MMMMM." I laugh and continue to cut. But then I get lost in thought.

Why did I have that dream?Was it there to warn me?To show me my fate in the nearby future?
And most importantly why was Zero there?
"Death!" I look at her and she's in a cute little panic "You cut your finger!" I look down and sure enough I ended up cutting my finger, "Oh I guess I did." "ILL GO GET THE FIRST AID!" she runs off and I walk to the couch, and I sit down. She comes back and she sits by me, she wraps up my finger and she kisses it, "What was that for?" she looks at me and tilts her head in confusion "Didn't your mom do that with you?" my smile drops, and a slight frown shows up "My mother never cared, she died when I was 12." Zeros eyes widen slightly "Can I ask of what?" I smile softly and slightly "Drug overdose." "I'm so sorry." She says as she grabs my arms and hugs me "its fine I never really craved attention from my mother, nor my father it was always my friend's mom. She would take care of me but when I got hurt, she would just tell me to be careful." I explain as I get lost in thought about my past. It's mostly hard for me to open up to anyone but I can open up so easily to you Zero... but why?

*Flashback*

At this time I'm 10 years old. I'm chasing Zach around, "Come get me Maxy!" He is the only one to this day to call me maxy. I chase him around giggling until my foot caught a tree root and I fell over "Ow." I say rubbing my knee, "Max are you okay?" Zach comes up to me with a distressed face "I'll go get my mom!" he ran inside, and he got her, she came out of the house, and she had a box. "Maxine, you need to be more careful!" "Sorry." I replied as she put a band aid on my knee and went back into the house, "Come on guys it's getting late, Zach say goodbye." "Aww okay. Goodbye Max." "Goodbye Zach." I said as I got up and went home, only to face torture.

*End of Flashback*

This was my life until the end.

*time skip because else have nothing else for this scene*
*it's been 1 year and it's her 17th birthday.*

"Zero wake up." I said as I knocked on the door, I got no answer. I opened the door and I walked in "Zero you ne-" before I could finish my sentence, I see her hugging a doll that she made to look like me. I smile and I walk up to her, and I put my right hand on her shoulder and shake her lightly "Hey Zero, wake up." After not getting answer for the third time, I shake her roughly "WAKE UP!"

She rolls around and slaps my hand "Leave me alone." I squint my eyes and I lay on top of her, she starts giggling and yells "Get off me!!" "Not until you get up." "Okay, okay fine I'm up!" I smile and I get off of her "okay now we are going to go downstairs, and we are going to eat your favorite kind of waffles and we are going to have a good day." "Why do you say that?" "ZERO! Did you really forget your own birthday!?" Her eyes light up like a puppy and she smiles "It's my birthday?!" I nod and she gets up and throws me out of her room "I will be down in a second!" I smile and giggle, shaking my head slightly and I go downstairs.

I make her waffles and I set up the table for us

"Okay, what do you think?" I hear her voice and I turn around; She's wearing a pink dress with a pattern of words..

I smile, and I nod slightly "Yea, it looks awesome." She smiles and she comes down the stairs the rest of the way and sits in her seat. "Did you make these?" I nod giving her my answer and she smiles in return. Weeat our food and we put our dishes in the sink, "So are you ready for today?""Mhm I'm ready. But wait what are we going to do?" "Well, I have a lot planned for today to be honest." "Okay where to first?" I smile and I slid a blindfold to her "First you need to put this on." She gives me a sad look and she whines slightly "What?" I chuckle slightly and I look at her "Don't worry I won't let anyone hurt you. Nothing will happen." She nods at me

"Alright let's go." I smile at her and I bring myself to my feet.
