Zero- a young man, near the age of 18.
I am not mere mortal, yet I am no angel or demon. I am also no god. I am simply Zero....
I woke up next to my sister. She was innocently sleeping by my side with her wings still twitching from last night when she woke me up. I quickly sat up. Something was still trying to pull me down. Soon I turned to my twin saying, "So, you're not still asleep?" She smirked. I let out my hand, so she grabbed to pull herself up.
She got up and grabbed her jacket, skirt, and uniform. Soon she walked into the bathroom next to our room. I grabbed my clothing to. A white shirt, black pants and a black jacket. I stayed in the room and stripped off my shirt. Slowly as I pulled it on my white long sleeved shirt my sister, Neg walked in the room. I chuckled while saying, "How scandalous."
She grinned and answered with, "It's your fault that you decided to change here."
My pale face slowly turned red. I replied saying, "Well this is faster and more convenient."
"Sure, pervert"
Her long white hair hit the pure white wall she was by at first. I chuckled and continued to change. As I slid on my leathery jacket Neg said, "Breakfast is ready." I entered the kitchen and laughed, "Why the hell do we need to eat food? It's not like we need the energy."
"Oh. You've forgotten?" I gave her a confused look. I slouched into my normal wooden chair while she finished what she was saying, "We were changed into humans as a punishment. Remember?"
"Oh right... how could I forget" I sighed
"Are you ok?"
"Y-yeah"
"Zero, what is wrong?"
"Nothing..."
"We need to talk now."
"Why?"
"You are important to me, I want you to be happy."
"Your human instincts are kicking in again. You aren't supposed to care about anything other than what keeps you alive"
"No! You are my brother, and you have emotions like I do!"
"Who said I have emotions?"
"I've seen it in you! Remember when we were reapers? You saved a ton of humans."
"They all benefit me"
"Fine, we'll finish this conversation tomorrow."
Neg pouted. She though that I wouldn't put up a fight this time. I sat there as she left, drinking some coffee.
'Man, these humans are smart' I thought 'They can provide energy for themselves just by doing a simple task such a drinking. Humans can be surprising.'
I slouched down into my chair as I remembered the time when Neg and I ruled the world with one chess board. Being a reaper with so much power was the most amount of fun I've ever had.
. . .
"Neg, would you like to play another round? I'll stay blacks, you can stay whites."
"Another game, huh? Well, who will win this time?"
I first took my center pawn, while she took her far left one. For me. this game would be different. This would be the last man standing. I moved my center pawn forward only to have the one to the left of it to slaughter him in cold blood. I stared at the one that was still standing in that first battle. Neg giggled. You must not have liked the fact that the center man had killed many of your pawn before.
