Life or Death

Angel's pov

I remember as a little kid sitting side by side my parents, me in the middle, as they play a lullaby to me on the piano listening to the beautiful music. Smiling as bright as the beautiful moon, listening to the beautiful music. I smile back at the memory, I didn't think anything of it that it would all change. that it would be a distant memory of being happy. I've had this feeling that everything would change and it would never be the same. Tomorrow is my 18th birthday it's the most important day for angels and dark angels alike. It's the day the undertaker chooses our futures of being who we're meant to be. Meaning staying who we are, or changing into something we're all scared of becoming.

My parents knew something that I didn't, they hid it from me. It scared me everyday knowing it was about me. The minutes ticked down with every second be scared of what I might become. I lay in bed and start to sob wondering if something happens my parents will still love me.
I felt my eyelids get heavy, slowly I let myself drift into a dreamless sleep as the window squeaks open. I look to see nothing there, I stare into the black skies with a of blue. I wipe tears from my eyes , as the blackest fog seeps in through the window spreading across my room. A man appears from the smoke standing in right in front of me. "My dear, tomorrow the darkness will choose your soul, you'll be mine soon, mark my words my precious angel" his deep voice echoed through the room.

"Who...who are you" I choked on air.

"You'll know soon enough, just know your mine" I let out a whimper. Was this what my parents hid from me?

~Next day~

I wake to the bright light my parents walking in smiling but I knew they were forced I get into a beautiful angelic white dress having my wings out and showing with them feeling like smooth silk. I walk into the beautiful church with dark and white angels. The undertaker at the alter calling names of those who are being chosen between the two worlds. I close my eyes dreaming about my happy moments. the ones of my parents, my friends.

I was soon brought back to reality with my name being called. I hear my name again figuring it was the undertaker. I take my stance in front of the alter. "Angel Night - Death angel" everyone gasps and all I hear is whispering. I turn around to feel pain. Pain in my back, my head, my eyes everything was in pain. I scream in pain I hear everyone gasp again and the pain just comes to a stop. I look down at my dress that was once the purest white now the blackest of all. Looking over my body, my beautiful tan skin was now tattooed with black lacy, I look behind me to look at my wings now are beautiful large black wings with diamonds . Knowing this was what I was meant for. I looked at my parents, trying to make eye contact but they looked away knowing the law . Tears snake down my face burning into my skin. Black fog appeared as it did in my room. He's here.
