"I still want to stay in this world." She looks at me with sorrowful eyes.

"You can but not for long." I say. "You cannot stay in this realm for too long or you won't be able to leave." I explained she must understand.

"But you said I could stay!" She argued. "It is more complicated than you think, child." I countered she have to understand.

"Fine. How long do I have?" She said, a frown showing in her face.

"A week at most," I said, she opens her mouth to speak but I continued "Because that is all I can give you."

She have gone silent.

"I am not Him, Aria, I can only give you the time to say goodbye." I say but I know deep within me I just want some company.

"Shall we go?" I offered my bony hand and she takes it without any word.

She looks back at the scene for the last time.

She looks at her mother whose cries can break the hearts of the bravest men.

She looks at her brother who will grow up without her.

She looks at her body on the ground, she turns, then we walked away.

Away to anywhere, somewhere, to a place where someone will die.
