Death Found His Bride

01

*Death

I stared blankly at the man who lies dead before me. He was covered in blood and he has a knife stabbed through his heart.

Seems like Gertrude is making my job easier for me. I pulled the man's soul away from his body and as he saw me, he screamed in terror.

I closed my eyes, mustering the patience I have left and looked at him. So freaking noisy.
"Scream one more time and I'll make sure that's all you'll ever do for eternity." I said coldly

"P-p-please d-dont hurt m-me." the man pleaded

Stupid. How could I fucking do anything to him if he's dead?
I didn't answer for it's just a waste of time and walked, dragging him by the shoulder. He seems to be scared to say anything more which made me calm down a little. That's better. I actually am a little pissed at Gertrude for spreading her evil shadows everywhere. The number of people being murdered are multiplying and my job is stacking, which makes me pissed.

Even the people who should not be dead are dying and the number of murderers are adding. Damn. If I get the job to remove those pesky evil shadows I don't think I will have patience left.

Throwing the man into the hole of inferno, I left and teleported to my house. I live in the underworld. The inferno is separated, for that place is for souls and the underworld is for me. Yes just me. I live alone in this big place for that's what I want. Gods only come down here if there is something important that they should discuss with me.

Speaking of the pests. I groaned and lazily stood up of my chair when I sensed a presence of a God in my realm. Knowing the smell of threads and looms I knew it exactly who it was. Fate.

Fate is the God of Destiny. This is the first time he came to my realm so I am a little curious of what brought him here.

I saw him taking a sit in my living room. Gods. They enter your home uninvited and they act like it's their house. With brows furrowed I went to where he was.

"What brings you here?"I asked him
"Can I get coffee first?"he answered with a grin.
"Want to drink blood from your mouth Fate?"I answered

He raised both his hands in response and chuckled.

"Still a hot-head are we?"

"If you came here to say fucking nonsense Fate you may now leave."I told him as I turned to go back to my room.

"Fine. Wait. I came here to say something."he said.
I faced him and nodded. Telling him to continue.

"Your mate is born as of today."

My eyes widened in shock as his words processed in my mind.

"Shit."I muttered

Seeing my reaction Fate found it best to leave my realm, which is a wise decision and left me alone.

Damn.Hell. What did that idiot just say?

Your mate is born as of today.

Your mate is born as of today.

Your mate is born as of today.

I sat down on the sofa and a smile slowly crept up my face.

I have a mate now?

Damn. For once in my life I felt excited for tomorrow.

She's born so she should be human.

I have to wait for 18 years more but so what?

Damn. A mate just sounds so..

So..

Shit.

Is this butterflies in my stomach right now?

Damn. Is this good?

GOOOOOOODDDDDDD MOOOOORRRRRNNNIIINGGGG WWWOOOOOORRRRLLLDDDD!!!!

I yawned and stretched my arms as I slowly got out of bed. I smiled my widest smile and went out of my room.

5 days to go and it's my birthdayyyy!!!!!

I slowly went up to my mom and hugged her from behind.

"Mom!! Good Morning!" I greeted her

"You scared me pumpkin! Good morning too." She gave me a sweet smile and pointed at the table. Motioning me to eat breakfast.

"Woaaa.. What's the occasion mom?"I asked seeing the food placed on the table

"Nothing dear. I just want to try out the things I saw on T.V. Channel 5 just aired a cooking show and I learned a lot from it. You should try all of those darling. It's all delicious." Mom said with a grin

"But I'll get fat." I joked

"You'll still look pretty don't worry."she replied with a wink.

I giggled and started trying out her new dishes. She was right, it was delicious. I had two servings before I stopped and washed my dishes. I brushed my teeth and went back to my room for a little visit in my Facebook account.

- hey Eth! Advanced happy birthday to you cous. I'm sorry I cant go there and celebrate with you but I'll make sure to buy you the greatest thing I could find here in England and give it to you. Is that okay? Miss you cous! Mom misses you too!😘

Awwe. Gino is the sweetest. I quickly replied

- it's okay cous! You remembering me is more than enough. Miss you too cous. And tell Aunt I miss her too. Love you!😘

I checked more of my messages and most of it was the advanced greetings of my friends and relatives.

I looked at the Saturday sun outside my window and I felt tempted to go outside. Well then, let's take a walk.

I took a bath and got into my black leggings and black oversized T-shirt and dark gray sneakers. While combing my brown hair, I looked at my reflection and grinned. I look exactly as I want to.

Long Wavy brown hair, pink lips, chocolate brown eyes, and pearly white skin. I don't look like the most beautiful girl you'll see in your life but I'm contented on how I look.

Smiling widely, I got out of the house while shouting my good-bye to my mom.

I went to the park and sat on the bench under the mango tree. I suddenly felt uncomfortable, that kind of feeling where you feel someone's watching you. I looked around me and shrugged it off when I saw that there was no one there. Weird.

Suddenly I heard screaming. Then police and ambulance sirens. Curious, I went to the location and I covered my mouth in shock. In front of me was a crime scene, and right beside the dead body was a figure of a man, dressed in a black cloak and the scythe. Death. What scared me more was that he was looking right into my eyes and I noticed that his eyes were red. Seeing the fear in my eyes he looked away and dragged the soul of the man and left.

I turned around, still in shock and went back to the bench.

What was that?

Did I just see Death right now?

And was that pain I saw in his eyes?

Weird. Very weird.
