Death

As soon as everyone was comfortable around the bonfire Lupin pokes my back forcing me
to stand up. I was nervous but I had Angel on my right and Lupin on my left. Jackeline was sitting right across from me with Jack by her side. I could see Amanda on my far left smirking waiting for me to mess up. I start off as best I know how.
The Reaper does not bring death, he follows it.
  The Reaper is not an omen of doom, he is a guardian, sent to protect your soul on its way from this world to the next.
The things that wait between the two are .... unpleasant.
  The trip consists with you and the Reaper walking down a(n) pitch black hallway.
As you walk memories start appearing in front of  you ..... they aren't nice.

"Boring" sang Amanda from my left.
Everyone shushed her and Lupin glared. Angel held my hand and nodded for me to continue.

Every mistake, every bad decision, any bad influence you have had on another person, all laid out in front of you.
  The trip to the other side takes days, weeks, sometimes months, and on a few occasions years.
The Reaper helps you along the way; he turns into the person you go to cry on and the one that holds your hand when you need it most. He is not some evil demon he is portrayed as; he's your assigned protector your bearer.

As I finished everyone seemed to be in awe and smiling at me, all except for Amanda. She was wearing a snarl and rolling her eyes. The fire looked like smoke in the shape of the grim reaper then a skull and back and force. I must have not noticed when Angel put his blood in the fire. He was smiling and puffing his chest as if he was getting ready to fight someone. I sat down and held his arm across my chest and in between my legs. He released a breath he was holding and played with my hair with his free hand. After some other people told stories and others danced and others sang it was mine and Angels turn to sing. I told Angel I wanted to do "little did you know" by Alex and Sierra he agreed and took out his guitar (check out their song it is really good). I gave Amber a tamborín so she could help out a bit while we sang.

Little do you know
How I'm breaking while you fall asleep
Little do you know
I'm still haunted by the memory
Little do you know
I'm trying to pick myself from piece by piece
Little do you know
I need a little more time
Underneath it all I'm held captive by the hole inside
I've been holding back
For the fear that you might change your mind
I'm ready to forgive you but forgetting is a harder fight
Little do you know
I need a little more time
Away, away
I love you like you've never felt the pain, away
I promise you don't have to be afraid, away
The love you see right here stays so lay your head on me
Little do you know
I know you're hurt while I'm sound asleep
Little do you know
All my mistakes are solely drowning me
Little do you know
I'm trying to make it better piece by piece
Little do you know
I, I love you till the sun dies
Away, just wait
I love you like I've never felt the pain, just wait
I love you like I've never been afraid, just wait
Our love we see right here stays so lay your head on me
Away, away
I love you like you've never felt the pain, away
I promise you don't have to be afraid, away
The love you see right here stays so lay your head on me
Lay your head on me
So lay your head on me
'Cause little do you know
I love you till the sun dies

When we were done Amber seemed mesmerized by the tamborín, Jackeline and Jack were kissing, Alex and Savannah were holding hands while Savannah rested her head on his shoulders, he looked....sad but I didn't care; Amanda on the other hand was practically fuming at the mouth. Lupin saw her face and started giggling and pointing at Amanda. I couldn't help but smile at the sight. It was the first time I ever saw him laugh a real laugh. It was good to see him like that.

After the campfire Angel and me went hand in hand back to our tent. We slept all cuddled up and every five minutes he would kiss my forehead or pull me closer to him, even though I don't see how that was possible. I slept like a baby that night. I was happy.
