Shelby's p.o.v

I sit up with a loud gasp, heavily inhaling, I looked around and noticed I wasn't in the warehouse nor was I in my world, everything around me was white, no room, no doors, just pure white. I stand up and notice I'm wearing a black dress, it was beautiful but uncomfortable

"Long time no see Shelby, I've been waiting for you" I heard a voice say from behind me, I quickly turn around and see an old man, he wore a white robe, he had a silver beard but it didn't fall past his chest. His hair was white and straight only reaching his shoulders. He had a warm smile on his wrinkled face that made me smile but then everything that happened came back to me, the letters I wrote, when I went to the warehouse and then being killed by Silas

"Are you god? Am I dead? What do you mean long time no see?" I asked, he chuckled at my questions before turning around and walking away, I follow him as we walk into nothingness

"You are, what of it?"  He answers smoothly, that got us no where at all

"Well what happens to me now? is this it?" I asked, he turns to face me for a moment before looking straight ahead. He stopped and a door appeared in front of him, I stared in amazement whereas he stared at me and smiled

"Open it" He says, I give him a questioning look but he just smiles warmly, I let out a sigh before reaching for the handle and opening it slowly. I covered my mouth once I saw what was behind the door

Everyone was in my room, Sebastian, Ciel, Grell and of course undertaker, my body laid on my bed, clean and dressed to perfection. Ciel had a blank look on his face, almost as if he didn't believe it was me on the bed, as if it were an imposter, he wore the same outfit he wore to Madam reds funeral. Sebastian was patting the back of Grell who was crying hysterically, makeup ran down her as she blew her nose messily, she wasn't wearing red either. Instead she wore a black dress with a back veil and undertaker looked the worst, he wasn't wearing his hat and his clothes were dirty, almost like he never left my side, not even to shower or eat. He didn't even have a smile, all the emotion on his face was replaced with emptiness

The sight brought tears to my eyes, it was my funeral day, they were saying goodbye

"Do you want to go back?" I turn and wipe my tears away at God's voice

"Of course I do, but I can't, I don't have a choice" I say, my voice cracking, God simply looks at me

"You know you hold more power than you know" He says making me raise an eyebrow at him

"What are you talking about? I only had those abilities because in their world it's possible" I say while looking down, I missed my wings, they were like a symbol of freedom to me

"You believe I'm god, correct?" I slowly nod at him and he smiles

"Well in that case, you should know that god can do anything" He sends me a look that I don't understand "Anything"

I simply laugh before shrugging

"Unless you can make it so my existence in their world won't erase them, then I'm afraid that there's nothing you can do" I chuckle, feeling another tear roll down my cheek, I don't hear him answer, he simply looks at me with a smile. My eyes widen at his reaction

"You can do that? please don't get my hopes up, you'll make me cry" I say, feeling my eyes water heavily, too late I guess

"I can, but I only ask one thing of you" He answers, I grab his hand and look him in the eyes

"Anything" He smiles and squeezes my hand

"If I return you, it will take a while for you to wake up, so you will probably be buried by the time you finally wake up" My eyes widen as he continues " I ask you to be careful, I'm putting you in charge of one of my very special jobs, after what I've seen I believe you are more than worthy, I'll see you again shelbs"
