Everyone says that nature is a woman or mother and that death is a man. This is not true. It is humiliating to me, to be stuck in me Fathers image. I hate that im seen as evil. For i am death. But i am just a girl named Kate.
The humans see me as evil, torturous, relentless and destuctive. I am just a very clumsy person. I dont have pale skin, dark piercing eyes with a cape and staff. I have brunet hair, ''nerdy'' green glasses, bright blue eyes and a necklace with a black gem and silver chain. I ware a purple T-shirt and black jeans and a grey jacket. I am not the person you thought i would be.
My Father is the one that created this image of destruction. I hate the image but i love the job. I can do anything, go anywhere and can see everything too.
I am not careless. I have been told i am a nice person. I choose people to die that are at their time or have done bad things. If the person seems worthy, in the circumstances, i will let them live. But some people decide its thier time wich I can't stop. And it makes me sad.
I can also save more then one life by letting one person live. And seeing that is the best thing in the world. Hospitals are good for that. But sometimes a person is hurt beyond repair, so i look away and end their pain. It breaks my heart to see that But something good always comes out of it. As I say ''To get rid of pain, you must go through it".
In order to take someones life I must hold their hand and pull lightly. This takes out their soal and leaves the liveless, cold, pale body behind. As they become awere they are dead, i look at what called me to take their live and will diside if they go to judgment of if they will become a ghost.
Taking a life is weird sensation. Your touch becomes a bit numb, you get an almost metallic taste in your mouth, everything goes silent and, depending on the person, your sight will change. If they where a good person, things smell sweet and everything goes a lighter colour. But if they where bad, things will smell rotten and things will go darker. These effects will change depending on how much good and bad the person did. All soals in the area become visibe and will chage in much the same way.
My friend Jeramy handleps all the bid things like natural disasters. He is taller then me, has dark hair, brown eyes, wairing black boots, blue jeans and orange jacket.
We can choose if we can be seen by humans or not. But we are our only friends. You wouldent know he was one of the deaths if you saw him unless we get infuriated when we take on our demonic forms. We get giant bat like wings, claws, tails, the back legs of a dragon, sharp teeth and red eyes.
'' Life is good" we hear all the time. Though it dosent realy make sence because we arnt technically alive, we still say it. " Life is good"
