Death's Angel

Chapter 20

I wake up to a young girl in a black crown with her is black hair did up like a princess type of hairstyle. There's a black and white aura surrounding her so she doesn't get hurt as much as she did. Shes got deep cuts and big bruises. She's heartbroken and the withered forest is on fire and Jaxson is in the middle flaming everything up and hurting some reapers. I'm just an observer watching this shit show. 

"Jaxson, please stop! I just want to be left alone, please!"

"I thought you said you would love me forever! What was all about?!" 

"You are just so fucking toxic! I can't have you in my life! You've ruined any chances of me being myself. You made me feel like such a piece of shit and that I was nothing but a fucking piece of meat you could just fuck around with whenever you wanted! You're hurting my people!"

"You're just a fucking tease! Are we not going to talk about how you've hurt a bunch of people and you're literally with someone is an emotionless prick! You know he doesn't care for you! Just like you don't care for anyone but yourself!" 

"Please….Jaxson, don't make me do this to you! I never want to hurt you….I never wanted to hurt you." 

"You hurt everyone in your path! You only think about yourself and to look good you try to look when taking care of people who don't care about anyone's well being." He busts open the aura and tries to grab on to her.

"Please...forgive me later on in the future. You've left me no choice." She starts chanting something about death sorrow and sadness. How she had made a plague to death. I couldn't make the words out because it seems like others we're chanting it. 
    Her eyes turned black she started to float up in the air and so does he and he starts screaming in pain. Her sigil on her chest starts glowing and mine does too. She looks like she's struggling then there's an evil laugh and devil horns and tail comes out of her body. A black flame starts surrounding her that's just making everything wither more. The wind blows around and blow out the fires around them. Death runs up and Jaxson disappears out of existence then the girl starts falling to the ground. Death catches her and sits on the ground with her and she coughs up black substance. She starts groaning in pain and shaking. Death hugs onto her tightly.

"You should've called me Persefoni! You know that power could ruin you!"

"Death...I'll be fine. I wouldn't be your right-hand man if I let our people get hurt." She says weakly. "I don't care about myself…. I care about you and your people. They shouldn't get punished for my mistakes…"

  He grabs onto her hands and kisses her. 

"They are our people, and you're not my righthand man anymore princess... you're so much more than you could imagine. You're the future Queen... it's not your fault that he was salty about something. You're not responsible for anyone's happiness." She tries to get up but he keeps her on the ground in his arms. She's badly injured. Everything around fades to black and I walk down this nothingness. I come face to face with the girl. She looks better than a moment ago. She looks at me.

"just….wake up." She says softly.

  I wake up and start breathing heavily and I'm in Death's bed and he looks worried and hugs me tightly. 

"I'm so sorry... I shouldn't have left you for a single second. I didn't realize that he had shapeshifted. Why didn't I know! I promised to protect you but I broke that promise."

  I hold onto him speechless. I need to get away from all of this. I need to get away from everyone else. I need to collect my thoughts. As soon as everyone is asleep i'll escape the castle so I can regain my thoughts. I look over and Death is making a lot of angry calls. His teeth are sharp and his devil horns are out and his tail is flinging around. 
   A cat jumps on his bed. I've never noticed that there was a cat here. I'm guessing that all animals live here instead of going to hell. It meows at me and I pet it. It's a boy. I hug him. A lot of guards are trying to calm down Death and he's just getting more pissed.

"Hey, Death what are you doing?"

"MAKING SURE THAT…" He takes a breath to calm down. Then he says in a lower angry tone. "Making sure that the son of a bitch gets tortured for the rest of his soul years. Meaning forever and always he'll be in pain. You shouldn't have given him another chance. We should've ended him when he hurt you the first time. You are still the sweetest reaper. You did give people mercy when you could. You helped humans to commit suicide and helped them through their own murders. You always believed that they would have more potential if they were here. It was beautiful to see you help souls. I'm so heartless and cold but you're so caring and warm."

"People make mistakes sometimes. Believe it's the right decision then but later on, they realize it's the worst decision they've made. We...we learn from them."

"I…." He gets in bed and cuddles me. "Do you think that you selling your soul to me was a great idea."

"I still... I still don't know. Something tells me deep down that I had a good reason to do it. Just more came of it and it made me happy. Just give me more time to process it." 

   He nods with that answer and he's calmed down from a few moments ago. His emotions….are really bad. I wonder why his emotions are so strong. In that memory, he held himself together. He was a very strong person. A rock to that princess. What happened while I was gone? I cuddle up to him and we both fall asleep. 
    I wake up in the middle of the night and walk outside. I look around and everything is so beautiful and dead. The rivers are filled with souls and black tar. I walk to the lake that I fell into when I first got here. I just have so many questions and no answers. I want everything to be so fucking clear and once I think I know it ends up with more questions! I have fucking no one that understands me. The only reason I don't trust Phine is that she is me! Like not me but she's the demon version of me. I think she's just as confused as I am about us. 
     Phine only knows about this world but she doesn't know anything about what we were before Regina. What's worse is that I only have basic memories. Yeah, I can fucking read a book and have some fucking dreams about this but it will never truly show what we've been through. My thoughts, my feelings, are they even mine anymore? Am I just faking my love towards Death? Is what I am even feeling love or just something I've just fall into because everyone is telling me that that's how this is. I don't want anything I've done before to go into vain because I'm so stupid. I don't even have enough time to process this and I don't know anyone I can talk to.
    I look up and I see a tiny little spot falling down into the lake. What...what is that? As soon as it's getting closer to the lake I notice that it's an angel falling from heaven. It's a male skinny angel. I can't notice the details. I have to save him. If I don't he'll end up in the middle of the lake. I notice he's unconscious. I fly up and just 2 feet about my height I get caught by the bracelet. I fly into the middle of the lake and catch the boy. His wings dip into the tar on accident and I fly him over to the shore. 
     I look at him and I get a huge headache. Memories of this kid pop up in my head. He was one of my best friends in heaven. It's Flynt. A faint voice says in my head and I hug onto him tightly hoping he will wake up.
