(ON HOLD)The Tale From Death to Death

.........so strange........

"Death?" Jessica asked.

Death jumped at the sudden voice and looked up. As he did so his hood fell away. Jessica's eyes went wide as she seen Death's face.

Death had the face of a human. Not a human's skull as Jessica had previously imagined. He was pale with stunningly green eyes. He had pure black hair that went down to his chin, and looked as if he were in his late twenties.

Again it felt as if Jessica's heart had skipped beat. 'Why do keep feeling this way?' Jessica thought as she stared at Death's face.

"Ah your awake" Death said with a small smile. He had very kind eyes as he looked at Jessica. He didn't even seem to notice that his hood had slipped off his head. he shut the book he had previously been poring over as if he were no longer interested in it, and walked over to Jessica. Death held out a large hand that was no longer bone.

"You don't look the same" Jessica said as she grabbed Death's hand. "Why is that?" She asked tilting her head to one side. She let him help her out of the coffin she had been laying in. She let her hand fall away from his as she got to her feet.

"You see.... when I'm in my own domain I revert back to what I originally looked like." He simply stated in his deep voice. "Now..... if you don't mind helping me with something I would greatly appreciate it." Death went over to a door that was closed and went through it. Jessica hesitated and then followed Death. As Jessica entered the mysterious room her eyes widened in wonder.

All around them were skulls and skeletons of all kinds. She had been fascinated with skull and skeletons when she had been alive. Her mouth grew in to a large smile and here eyes sparkled.

Death had entered the what he called the bone room before Jessica. He stood in the midst of the bones and turned to face the doorway, he waited for the girl to enter. He expected her to run screaming from the room begging to leave. Instead, when the girl entered she stood there for a moment with wide, shocked eyes. And the a large goofy smile spread across her face and her eyes began to sparkle.

"You see I need you to organize these" he said slowly  as he gestured to the piles of bones. He watched as her smile got wider (if that was even possible.) 'This girl is very strange' he thought. 'Maby she will truly be my apprentice.' He stood straighter and put up his hood that had fallen. "Now if you will excuse me....... there is work to be done. I must be off." He told Jessica as he went out of the room, he skillfully avoided stepping on the fragile bones that littered the room.

Jessica snapped out of strange yet happy daze. "OK I'll see you when you get back" she smiled a sweet smile at Death as he left to reap the souls of those whose time it was to die.
