Kiss of Death

Chapter 7 (Answers)

As my eyes wondered around the room everyone except for death had a guilty look, this is a unsettling fact.

"Sweetie, maybe you should lay down-" my mother started.

"No I want answers, and I want them now!" I demanded.

"Well I'll tell her if no one-" Death started.

"NO!!!" They all yelled, death smirked and held his hands up in surrender.

"Sorry your highness, it's just that you can be amazingly insensitive at times, I trained you too well in that category" Max's mother said. We just stood in silence for about five minutes before I got irritated.

"That's it! Everyone except for my mom get out!"

"But-" max started.

"OUT!" I yelled. They all scrambled to get out except for death, who was sitting on my bed.

"No matter where I go I'm everywhere so there's no point."

"Figures" I said and rolled my eyes. I looked towards my mother and she looked frightened by not only death but me too. I didn't like that.

"Would you believe me if I said nothing is going on?" she asked and sat down in my desk chair across the room. I pointed at death and his scythe.

"No, not really" I mumbled and sat on my bed "I just want to know what's going on"

"Sweetie there are somethings that you'll have to remember by yourself. I can only tell you small things like who you are who we are, where you came from, and other things like that" she said playing with her hair.

"Alright, I'll except that for now" I said

"Okay, well I have no easy way to tell you this but I am not your birthmother. I have been entrusted with her soul as my guide to take care of you" she said.

"Damn that's where you start?" Death said as he saw my shocked face fighting back the tears he knew were there.

"I think starting with the hardest is the best way. She said "But her mother is tell me other wise"

"How are you talking to her, can she hear me?" I asked

"Yes she can hear you she said hello sweetie. During your time period there was a small war going on and my husband and I were sent to retrieve your mother and father. Your father was consumed in the war and we could not find him for days. You mother was very ill and asked that I watch over you as if you were my own child. I accepted this deal and when she passed her soul had a choice to go to heaven or hell, as all souls do. For reasons I can't quite explain she chose hell. Death saw her among the suffering souls and decided to put her soul in my body. Since I am a demon and have no souls this wasn't a problem. I am currently half human and if I die your mothers soull will be sent to heaven and my demon half will start to heal itself."

"Woah that's a lot to process. So my father is dead?"

"Sadly kitten I can't keep track of every soul that passes so I am not sure where his soul is" Death said sitting next to me on my bed.

"So that vision I saw, that was me right? I died?"

"Yes you died"

"But you brought me back to life?"

"Yes, I did"

"Is it because we dated or something?" I asked.

"Yes I "courted" you or something like that" he said with a smirk.
