Chapter 24: Death To Your Hearts Desire

James

James felt cold as he opened his eyes, he found himself in a meadow, confused as to exactly how he got here... or what he was doing beforehand. He couldn't remember anything from before... well anything. He sat up and looked around... he was in a pile of roses, and to his left was a table with two seats. James stood up and looked around in confusion before sitting in one of the chairs.

"Hello there."

He heard and looked up, to his shock a little girl sat across from him. Her eyes blood red... and her skin pale. He was very confused as the little girl snapped her fingers, summoning a banquette before him. She began to eat a apple as she talked.

"Listen I'll just tell you the truth. Your dead. You died and now your here."

"Where is here exactly?"

"Good question. You ever look at a thick sheet of glass. Like directly on the edges at the glass itself. Not quite one side, not quiet the other."

"Thats a rather vague answer to a straight forward question."

"Woah there sass. Im here because your spirit isn't ready to move on. Its pretty uncommon but not rare... but you do display an extraordinary resistance to death."

"Probably because I don't want to die."

"You should eat. Your not a woman but I believe you'll be less of a ass if you eat something."

"Jezz... sexist much?"

"I'm Death you jackass. I'm incapable of having any type of biased."

"Yet you constantly seem to pick the people who are trying to actually DO SOMETHING with their lives."

"Hey don't blame me, I just make sure you dipshits understand that you died. Now you might still be saved who knowns. I certainly don't care either way but your resistance to dying is getting very annoying."

"Again probably because I'm not going to just die."

"But you did. Just. Die."

"For Death you really are a ass..."

"Hey I do my job rather effectively. MOST OF THE TIME. Eat for gods sakes..."

"You think I haven't read a single greek underworld myth? I'm not eating your food."

The girl gets rather annoyed and snaps her fingers. The table vanishes and he falls over from the chair vanishing as well. The girl straight up pulled a scythe made of bone out of the ground and started walking towards him, he knew exactly where this is going...

"Oh ok WOW. You were trying to trick me, then you lied to me, now your actually going to kill me."

Death let a small annoyed growl out as she walked even closer, then stopped as the world began to grey out.

"What's happening?!"

"Your being revived jackass. Try not to screw up your second chance ok? Next time I WILL force feed your ass."

James opened his mouth to object but she snapped her fingers and he found himself waking up in a hospital bed.

He opened his eyes to a bright light... it was morning. He looked around and saw Charlie, bandaged and smiling. His father... was alive...

"Hey James... miss me?"

"Dad... are you ok? They didn't hurt you did they?"

Charlie put a finger up and shhhh'd him, pointing to the other side. James then noticed a "sleeping" Edward holding his hand. He smiled and looked over at Charlie
