"I won't let you die"
" I don't think that's how it works"
"Sweetie, I'm Death. I decide how it works"
It all started on the 24th of April. I was walking home after a long day of revising in the town library. I had my headphones in with my Favourite band, BTS, playing loudly. I guess I didn't notice that a man was walking up behind me until I felt something nudge the small of my back.
As I stopped walking, a hand reached round to take out my headphones one at a time, his hand skimming my cheek as he took out the right headphone. A calm yet stern voice filled my ears. "Now, now. I don't want no trouble" I realized what was prodding me, The barrel of a gun " I want your money not your life, but if you try to make a move I wont think twice". There was a shake to his voice. He was scared. As I began to turn around a bang echos through the empty street.
Slow-motion. Time seemed to stop. My ears rang. Then and only then did I notice the pain, a unbearable pain through my lower back and my stomach. Placing my hand on my stomach, it was wet. I had been shot. My body fell to the floor causing more pain to ripple through me.
I lay there, alone, in the dark, on a street I had walked constantly on my way home. My sight blurred. The sound of foot steps approaching..
"Shit.Oh god! Okay, everything is gonna be OK. I'm not gonna let you die." The stranger said. I could make out black hair and a worried expression but nothing else
"I don't think that's how th-" A cough of blood exploded from my mouth "this works"
"Sweetie i'm Death,I decide how this works," the stranger said before placing his hands on my wound and I could feel the pain slowly fade "Come on, lets get you home Rose" what how does he know my name?
I have so many questions.
