It All Started With a Smile

Who Am I?

Eve's point of view
I found myself floating in dark place, nothing around me, nothing at all, it was like an abyss but there were no monsters... I couldn't do anything... I kept floating for some time with nothing I could do but think, think about my day, think about myself, think about my life... I then started thinking about Alex, about how he treats me, about the misery that he's living, and how I couldn't help at fixing his life, I kept thinking about it and it couldn't leave my mind, then I remembered when I first met Alex, when he was fighting Ralf in the bus and he almost broke his hand, I knew at the moment that Alex had alot of sadness hidden within him but I didn't expect it to be this much, I wanted to try to help him, but then something happened, I don't know why but as the days passed, I felt more and more attached to him, and eventually I fell in love with him, but he seemed like he didn't, he's so good at hiding emotions, I wonder if there are more stuff he's hiding, I wonder what's going on inside his head? What is that Fred? Is he going to kill Alex? As soon I thought of Alex being killed, my eyes started tearing up, it felt horrible thinking that one day I'd be alone without him, eventually I started crying, but then a woman's soft voice echoed in the void, and a white smoke came out from my left, the voice said: "why are you crying my darling?", I wiped my tears and said "Oh it- it's nothing...", "Are you sure?" She asked to make sure, after a while I said "No", after I said it, I started crying once again, "What's wrong?" She calmly said, "It's... It's just that..." I tried to tell her but my tears weren't helping, then the white smoke started forming around me, I felt calm and at ease, my tears stopped and I was finally able to speak again, "it's just that, there's this boy I really love and his life is a total misery, I want to help him but I can't, I'm too weak and I barely have any powers, if only there's a way I can become more powerful to actually change something in his life..." A moment of silence came and then the voice said: "Maybe I can help you..." I told her that I don't like getting help from strangers so she replied: "stranger? Do you know who I am, young one?" I told her that I don't know her, she laughed and said "I am the mother of your soul." I was so surprised that I quickly shouted: "YOU ARE WHAT?" She giggled a bit at how surprised I was and began to explain "Yes I am your mother, my name is Xernia, I am one of heaven's angels, I used to play a huge role in heaven, and I was one of the few who were allowed to be next to God when he was creating the universe, and God taught me how to do this creation thing. I made nature on this planet with God's guidance, I made it really beautiful at first, the flowers, the beautiful landscapes, the animals, all the beauties of earth, but one of the now-hell's-demons had to add his "special touch" if you'd like to say, he added volcanoes, tornadoes, tsunamis earthquakes and insects, I used hate these demonic little creatures." She paused for a second then said: "Oh how I miss the outer world, it was beautiful, I wonder how it is now..." After she said that I asked: "Why? Aren't you as an angel allowed to see it? Heck! You're the one who made it, so why can't you see it!?", "Oh my poor child," she answered "there are alot of things I am not allowed to explain to you... You must figure it out on your own... But let that aside, for now, what are you going to do with your soul?" She asked, I didn't know what to answer so I just asked "With my what!?" She giggled then said: "Your soul darling, usually when you lose control over your powers and surrender to madness you'd be sent here. As I'm sure you remember, you have become mad and tore apart the soul of the rabbit who was about to kill you." I paused for a second trying to remember it clearly, and I did, I remembered how I tore its soul to shreds, it feels satisfying and sad at the same time for some reason, "Oh... Yeah... I did..." Her tone became worried as she asked: "do you... Want to change the body your soul is in?" I didn't understand what she meant, so she began explaining:" Usually when you lose control you get back here wishing to die because your friends would think you're possessed or something and they'd try to kill you, now do you wish you could start your life over? You'd be reborn in a human form and you won't be able to remember what happened in this life, it will be hard at first, you know being born as a baby and ha..." I cut her sentence before she could finish it and said "But I don't want to be reborn!"
- "Really! Why not? Don't you think your friends are going to abandon you now that they've seen your demonic side" she replied
- "Y.. yes... But I can't just abandon them, even if they didn't accept this side of me... I... I STILL WANT TO HELP ALEX!" I said
- "Oh I see, you really do love that Alex don't you... Well then! I get it that you want to return to your life." She responded
- "Yes that is correct!" I answered "I need to get out of here, what is this place anyway?"
- " This is a void between heaven and hell", she started explaining, "no one is allowed to get here except the souls who are too good to be in hell but not good enough to be in heaven, it's not crowded yes, but usually the souls here come for a bit then get reborn, they do that many times to prove to God that they are good souls."
- "So why are you here?" I asked her "Aren't you an angel? Aren't you supposed to be in heaven?"
- "I told you darling, there are some stuff I am not allowed to tell you." She said
- "Oh yeah, and you told me that I need to figure these stuff out on my own" I replied
- "That is true darling, now about helping your friend and not having enough powers, I have the best solution for you!" She said
- "I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GET YOUR HELP!" I requested
- "Well then, I'm glad you're hyped! Here's what you have to do, whenever you are training, before you start just say "Telnviedra, d queloravna tiq haqved thou dukens" <mother, I ask of you to lend me your help>
- "Ok then! I'll make sure to say it!"
- "Very well sweetheart, I'll send you back to your old body."
- "Thank you mom!" I said
I started to slowly vanish till nothing of me was left and the void returned completely empty.
Xernia's point of view
-"She called me "mom', it's been millennials since the last time she called me that..."
-"Don't worry my love" a demonic sound came from the void "You'll be able to hear it alot soon... I've seen improvement in this new life of hers" he said
-"I hope so darling... I really hope so..."
