Luz's POV:

"Hello"

Huh?

"Hello Luz"

Turning around i saw a hooded person standing there, my heartbeat increased seeing them and the anticipation on what will happen next piled up wondering how they knew my name

"What-...How do you know my name? are you the Grim Reaper..? I swear-"

"Im not. Follow me."

They turned to leave, the darkness around us was like a void and then a dim light from a glowing circle appeared, they walked through and i followed them through

When i did i came to a dimly littled office, shelves filled with books, carpet floor, cushioned seats and a lamp behind a chair in the corner, a coffee table with two chairs, a rug under a wooden desk with a lamp on top of it and a candle, papers on it and a fancy looking desk chair behind it

Suddenly the lamps flashed on and there sat a menacingly scary looking person in the chair and the person who lead me the way behind them on their right, another person appeared out of no where in a butler looking outfit and sat a fine-looking China set on the desk

One for the person in the chair and one for...me. The person looked at me and i jumped out of my skin when i saw his face, Half of their Face was melted and strings of skin hung off of the torn slashes, his skull was showing but only a bit and their exposed eyeball tracked me up and down

As i looked away the hooded person was no longer hooded, it was a girl with short hair and a bullet hole in the middle of their forehead and hand marks all over her body, the color of them made them look like scars and lines ran from her eyes to the side of her face

"Dismissed."

The person spoke, the two bowed then vanished with trails of black spirit following, i looked at the person who lit an oil lamp then raised the brightness of the candle, their face was lit up and the expression and serious and unpredictable.

"Have a seat."

My eyes widened cause of the change in their tone, it sounded welcoming but still serious, no longer empty and heavy, they stared at me expectingly as they poured themself a cup of whatever was in the pot

"I-..Im good standing."

"Oh no. I insist. Please have a seat Luz Noceda."

I flinched when they mentioned my name and their eyes flashed a color of red, shivers went down my back and i instantly took a seat and they poured me a cup of what looked to be tea but had a strange smell to it, i looked at it uneasy of what it was made of but i must've made a disgusted look

"Dont worry its not poison, its just a simple tea remedy for being shot up."

I-...i was shot...?

Now that i thought of it I got a flood of memories and i looked at my clothes, covered in rips and blood, my skin all...full of holes and i was bruised so much, my chest had tears in it and i couldnt tell that i was hurting till i drank the tea, i must be dead to be living right now. i dont know where i am but if this is some type of alternate limbo then that explains it

"Dont worry you wont look so horrid in a minute, but as for now, im going to make a deal with you."

I snapped my attention to her, she really looked intimidating but calm...as well as pretty too, Gold eyes and the outfit she wore was scary and hot

"I've kept an eye on you for quite a while and now I have you, I want you to work for me as a ...say a Sheperd. In a way of sorts you'll be bringing back the stray sheep and i'll also pay you, as well as letting you live"
