The Secrets of Death

chapter five - just got told I was dead

A/N yes its a short one but you find out some important stuff

Tomorra POV

She projected fear and death. She unlike the boy, who stood behind me, looked like a God.  A black halo surrounds her head and small ripples of black smoke curls around her figure.  She was in all black and appeared as a huntress of the darkness. She perched herself in a tree branch eating a glossy red apple. One of her legs swung slightly as she looked down at us with a fearsome smile as she bit into the delicious looking food. My stomach lurched in hunger, I haven’t eaten in about three days. Back at the complex I was only feed every three to four days and I learnt to live with the hunger but back there, there was no food to ignite the burning need of food for fuel. I’m quite surprised that I’m standing right now I’m that hungry and tired, I feel like I could collapse, but I think the fear of being killed or being taken to the man in my dream again is keeping me standing.  Her pale hair fell over one of her eyes when she rolled out of the tree and landed perfectly on both of her feet without so much as a stumble. She took a few steps towards me before Samuel placed himself between us, sword raised. A growl escaped from his lips shacking his body slightly.

“Don’t come any closer or I’ll-“ he started before she cut him off putting her free hand on her hip.

“Do what? Hurt me? Kill me? Ha, the worst you could do is tell mother on me.” She said slightly laughing as she spoke.  Samuel looked angry but said nothing in defence of himself. There was a thick layer of tension between the two of them but I was not willing to wonder on why. I took two steps back wards preparing to make a run for it.  My other half was starting to nag at me, telling me to go in there and kick some butt because we both knew I was capable of doing so, past events only proved that but I was in charge. I wasn’t tough, I was scared.  I am going to run, wether she likes it or not, but before I got the chance I walked backwards into something fury and soiled. I turned my head around and found Cerberus looking down at me with all three heads.

Wait child said a voice in my head.  He was looking at me with warning in his eyes that I knew it was his voice. Nope, I can’t handle this as well. I felt my mind start to crack under the pressure. I don’t understand what’s happening, I thought I did, I tried to be brave and pretend but lets face reality, only people in books and movies handle this shit easily. I stumbled over my feet and hit the ground with a shock that sent vibrations from head to toe. It was only then did Samuel and his sister stop their stare of and turn their attention to me. I started feeling sick under their gaze and my head pounded so much that I didn’t know what to clutch, my stomach or head. My eyes begun to blur and shadows started to swirl in the corners of my remaining vision.

“What have you done!” yelled Samuel as he ran to my side.

“I have done nothing. This brother, is of your own doing.” She replied taking another bite of her apple. 

“What are you talking about?” he questioned. Samuel gently wrapped his arms around me and turned me over and laid me carefully on my back.

“You removed her soul from her body, she died in the process and you stupidly put her soul back in the dead body. No wonder father doesn’t like you, you’re an idiot.”

“But she didn’t die!”

Oh god, I think I’m going to be sick. I moan in pain. I don’t feel right, I’m losing feeling in my arms and legs and breathing is become hard.

“Yes she did”

“And how do you know?”

“I watched Atrposo snip her life.” She said coolly.  Who did what with my life?

“No” he said but his voice broke as he said it

“Yes and wether you like it or not her body is rejecting her soul and because she’s dead, she’s mine.” She said lightly with a hint of amusement behind it. 

“No she’s not” his says tightening is grip on me pulling me to his chest.  She walks over and yank’s me from his grasp. I feel the dirt ripping at my skin as she drags me over to Cerberus, with one arm she throws me over the back of the beast. I’m too weak to care, I can’t even manage to cry in pain.  I can’t see anything know, my eyes are wide but there’s nothing there. “NO, give her back to me Torri!” 

“No brother, you know the rules, she sinned and committed the worst crime know to mortals. Her soul is mine and the Erinyes”

“She did no such thing.” Torri stopped trying to tie me to Cerberus and hear shuffling to my side.

“You don’t know?” she said with an oily tone

“Know what?”

“Well, while you were in rehabilitation with the fates Tomorra committed murder.”

The last thing I hear was screaming and the clash of metal before I lost conscience.
