     The village was in chaos. People everywhere were running around calling out the names of their family and close friends, seeing if they were still alive.

     A young girl of 17 stood there, frozen. Her body stuck in place even though she knew she should run. She was surprisingly calm, transfixed on a guy who screamed danger. From the side of his face she could see the evil glint in his eyes. He laughed hysterically as he swung his scythe around killing men, women and children alike.

     He seemed to notice the girl watching as he suddenly turned and faced her. The girl's mind was screaming run but she couldn't look away from the man. His silver hair shined in the moonlight. It danced in the wind looking as if it was alive. His purple eyes locked onto hers with so much killing intent it sent shivers down her spine.

     "What's wrong? Not going to run away?" The man asked once he was close enough. Frozen by fear the girl just stared wide-eyed at him. "Too bad. It's more fun when they run." The man raised his scythe above his head getting ready to bring it down on the girl when a voice shouted from behind him.

     "Leave her alone you bastard!" The man froze and slowly looked down. The girls eyes followed to see a metal blade sticking out of his heart. The man fell and the girls eyes snapped up to see a boy from the village. They were the same age but had never talked before. The boy seemed to be telling the girl something but all she could hear was an annoying ringing in her ears.

     The boy seemed to give up on words and grabbed her arm and pulled her away. As she ran she turned back to get a last look at the body. The girl was surprised to see the man standing and pulling out the sword from his body. She stopped running and stood in amazement at the man as he threw the sword to the ground. His head turned to her and she held her breath. Why was she acting like this? Was it because she knew she was going to die? Her life was about to end by this guy and she was weirdly okay with it.

     The man started walking closer and she felt herself being slowly pulled away. As the man got closer the pulling stopped and a figure now stood in front of her. The figure blocked her sight of the man and her mind seemed to clear up a bit. She slowly took a step back and then the man standing in front of her fell. Standing behind him holding his scythe the man looked at the girl and smiled. He walked closer to the girl and leaned to her ear and spoke the final words she would ever hear. A stab of pain went through her heart a second before she felt nothing and everything went black.

"May Jashin look over you...my dear sister."
