Death Contract (PUBLISHED)

A Dancing Glass Shoes Part 2

Chapter 8

From here, I heard the how the car re-run outside. That is when I deeply sighed as the thought that the Grim Reaper had already left.

There I lay down on the queen-size bed with the book I was still holding in my left hand.

This was a very tiring day. I am so thankful that that evil spirit has also left my sight. That one is annoying; he was constantly harassing me.

Ever since the plane landed at Plamour Airport, he has done nothing but remind me that I am no longer a normal human, and we have a mission to do.

At first, the little girl gladly used it. She dances and dances with all her heart. A week passed, and the little girl didn't notice that she was slowly forgetting how to take the glass shoes out.

I closed my eyes and sighed again.

"Seems like you are irritated with my presence, babe?" I almost jumped at what I heard when I opened my eyes and a man with a black hat appeared before me. He sits in front of the queen-size bed in the room where I am lying down by now.

Okay, just calm down, Sean! Calm down.

"You! Can you not use your dark powers on me every time you pretend to be Albus Wesley? " I shouted. I am extremely disgusted by the presence of the Grim Reaper.

Why is here again?

When I said that, his forehead quickly furrowed.

"Dark Powers? What the hell? " He said emphatically. He obviously couldn't believe what I just said.

"Don't you know the annoying word? I can now introduce you. " I sarcastically uttered. "I get irritated every time you say something with your ability. I'm no used to it at least just give me a time to adjust—" I didn't finish my sentence when he spoke immediately.

"Rule number three."

I sighed at that.

That's it. He won.

I was so irritated by the reaper in front of me that I hurled a lotion bottle at him from the side table. There is nothing in the rules that says it is forbidden to do that. And even if I do that, he will not be touched because it will just penetrate him.

"What was that?" Unlike when the Grim Reaper was in Albus's body, he always smiled and smirked. Now, he's in his real face and expressing blank.

Nothing, no emotion at all.

"I hate you!" I glared at him. He looked at me with amazement, as if I had done something ridiculous in front of him. Yes, it was stupid of me to throw that at him, even though I knew he would not be hit then.

I hate him.

Doesn't he see that I'm just adjusting myself to everything, but here he is, putting more pressure on me?

I took another deep breath. When I'm annoyed, I don't hold back. That's because I only get annoyed once.

"I will kill you now!" I threatened while looking at him badly. He would have spoken when I rushed at him and hit him as I immediately threw punches too. That's when his hat was removed, and I was surprised when my fist hit his face.

I was stunned and my eyes widened.

"Oh my gosh!"

"Fuck!" There was a hint of madness in his voice. When I looked at him, his whole body was wrapped in a black aura again. There, I was stunned. Only now did I fully see his face without his hat.

The parting of his dark black hair suits him. He also had a white complexion, and his lips were very red. His eyebrows are just so beautifully drawn. So are his puffy eyes. It is so deep, it can hypnotize, as if by the time you stare at him, you will go insane. This is probably the so-called masterpiece of heaven.

I sighed for the fifth time.

Why has this Grim Reaper become so beautiful in my eyes right now? Damn it!

I swallowed. Especially when I hear my rapid heartbeat.

This is not good.

I was about to get up from running after him when he suddenly smiled. I was just surprised when he squeezed my waist too. He lay down on the bed, and I'm now beneath him.

At that point, I felt very nervous.

"Hey! W-what? " He just smiled more because of that. I cried and struggled. "Let me go! Please! I'm sorry okay, I won't do it again, I swear! " But instead of letting me go, he just pulled me closer to him. I almost choked on my breath when his lips touched my ear.

"You better do something with your beating heart, babe. Remember the rules. " He smirked, "Dating is forbidden." That was when my eyes widened again.

Oh my gosh! What the hell is he talking about?

I was about to scold him. When he swapped our positions, now I was on top of him.

With that, I swallowed again.

However, I bravely met his loving eyes. We were stunned for a moment and just stared at each other until he suddenly smiled. There, I felt like I had a cardiac arrest. That was the first time he smiled at me genuinely. All this time, he always had no expression to express every time he was out of Albus' body.

"Sleep tight, Sean, sweet dreams," then he kissed my forehead. He softly caressed my cheeks, and there, then suddenly disappeared.

It was only then that I noticed that I had been holding my breath for a while.

As I closed my eyes and touched my chest, I couldn't help but whispered, "This is a problem."

But not until the day that the little girl wanted to take the glass shoes off, but she didn't know how. With that, the little girl danced for the rest of her life.

The End!

The good message of the children's story, entitled "A Dancing Glass Shoes," is not to pick things up everywhere. But in my opinion, what it wants to convey is that sometimes dreaming of what you know is impossible is also tiring. Not all our dreams can be achieved, or we have enough money to achieve them. And if we can achieve it, not for the rest of your life, you will want to be bound by the dream you once asked for. It's just like my dream of having a happy and complete family. The fact that I did reach that through Hailey's body can be seen. But without pleasure, joy, and gladness, well, maybe for some reason, I know this dream of mine has long been fulfilled.

We all have dreams, but some dreams are better left unfulfilled.
