Ghost Ores

Leana's Origin story

Leona's POV

"Hi mom", I said as I entered the house.
School was dismissed a hour earlier due to strange weather occurrences only inside of school. No one can explain it. I didn't care,  I took it as time I could spend bonding with my mother.

"Come child I have something to tell you. It's time you learn where you came from and to whom you were born. You are special my child and it's time you embrace it", she said.

I was about as special as that bottle of champagne she was holding in her hand. She was right. It was time I realized I came from a woman who drank whenever she is faced with problems. I thought to myself. Wonder what was wrong now.

Leana's POV

I told my child to sit as I went back many generations. I remember it like yesterday. It was five of us then we were bestfriends and in school. We were popular and at the heights of our lives. Intoxicated by life's joy......well all expect me.

We went on a school trip and the bus crashed. It led to many casualties that day.; including my friends and I.

When death came and took us; we bargain with him and beg him to send us back. Death agreed with the exception that one had to stay.

We didn't know who death was going to choose and we didn't want to know. We hug and said our good byes. And let death decide our faiths or at least that's what they thought.

I went back to death before this very moment and offered myself for the lives of my bestfriends. I was sure it was the right thing to do and that they would of done the same for me; if their situation was like my own.

They all had family who loved them, all except me; who was in a abusive foster home. I thought who would better to stay back than me.

As a punishment; death kept me by his side for many generations. To watch my friends fail, to watch them live the life I couldn't.

Death knew somehow that society would eventually get rid of them and it came to pass. As when he send them back; they changed. They weren't just humans anymore. They carried a part of death himself; into the world.

Their parents were the first to try. Frighten of what their children had become, they organized a sleep over which was to lead to their deaths. But they survived

When their parents failed to get rid of them Death's perception changed.
He became impatient, frustrated and paranoid.

He could of just came clean with God. Went to him; confess his sin and face his judgment.

But he was too afraid of what his faith was to be. To see Death afraid made me scared and happy all together.

I wanted him to pay for demanding that one of us had to stay. And all I had to do was wait. Wait for Death to meet his faith, for taking the only people I love and the only people that love me..........from me.

Then one day, he offered me the opportunity to come here too but it was too late. My friends were dead. I watch them procreate and die. I watch their children have children, and their children have children.

What would coming back now do for me than left me hurt and broken, so I refused. And that was when he told me.

He said I could have my revenge. I laughed at him as I didn't know what revenge he was talking about. I was happy my friends had kids.

"They left you here", he said. I laughed at him once more it seemed he was getting demented.

"I offered to stay", I said reminding him.

Flashback begins

"Yes you did but before you did that. Your friends already choose you. They came together and they planned to leave you here", he said.

I was instantly tone deft.

"You are lying, my friends love me. They would never", I said to him.

"Well they did, just like you. They thought you were useless", he said.

I felt my heart broke in a million pieces.

"They say rotting here was suiting to you", he said.

As hurt as I might have been. I never believed. And that's when he offered me the greatest gift anybody could of gotten. Of course then I didn't know. So I refused and he tricked me into accepting it.

"Ok fine you don't want nothing to do with me, I'll leave you alone. I'll allow your soul to pass into the after life. But don't you want to know the truth. I atleast owe you that", he said and I agreed.

Moments after I took his hand and close my eyes. That's when I felt it; pain, doubt and betrayal. In my mind he showed me my friends gathered before him. I couldn't hear what they were saying but I felt it. In my heart I now knew what he said was true. As their faces were full of guilt.

When he let go and I opened my eyes. I was different. I had changed literally.

"Look at the beauty you have become", he said.

As I glanced upon myself in a mirror; I couldn't see of what new beauty he spoke. All I saw was myself and I was always beautiful.

Then within an instant my eyes turned full black and a black gust of smoke enveloped me from my feet upwards.

It was similar to what my friends had. But not as pure and when he called me his demi ore, his demon-ghost he said. I knew I had step into shit.

Creation belonged only to the almighty and the more death try to create something. The worst it got.

My friends which he send back was living but was also death. They had a foot in each world and so did their generations.

"Go back", he said. "Live your life and have nothing to do with me if that's what you want Leana"

And I was stupid enough to believe him. Once I got a taste of life. He came and tried to take it away unless I agree to right his wrongs.

I was to kill all my friends generations and all the other new supernaturals that walked this earth.

It seemed he played apart in all their existence. God gave him the task of collecting but death was a gambler. He was going around playing and making big debts.

When I was there with him, a tiger had bitten someone and when he was on the verge of death. Death himself went and made a deal. That someone got to live but carried the faith of his death everywhere with him.

He was a man with blood lust, every full moon. He turned into a tiger. Forced to wonder and kill until it passed. And so a weretiger was borned. Which of course was a curse he passed on.

Now the earth was becoming saturated with his creations. God was getting suspicious of all the new beings walking earth. And death was running out of answers so send me back to clean up all the things he create and even the rest he didn't,  that isn't human. Before God unleash his wrath upon him.

"I am telling you this child so you see that our mission is a holy one. I am telling you this so you understand that Yashmin, her mother and her father must die."

"I am Death's bounty hunter, I am Leana."
