Death part 5
The moon light was dim
But beautiful still
Death watches
Sara positings herself on the edge of the roof
Looking out at the sky
Her brown eyes wide
As she takes in every star
Her black hair is disturbed by the wind
Her lips slightly parted
Her pale skin glows in the moon light
And Death
Cannot help but stare, at the deep crimson blood
That is still oozing from her skin
He can feel her pain
How her arms tingle with pain
And the way the blood feels as it runs over her skin
And slowly dries
Sara looks at the ground below
And her mind begins to turn
She battles within herself
If she should say what she's thinking
Would I die if I jumped?
She whispers, slowly looking to Death
Death can feel her desire
It burns
Like a deadly black flame
Hard to stomp out
Easy to start again
You would
Death says slowly turning to the sky
And you wouldn't save me?
Sara moves closer to Death
Shivering
Her bare arms cold from the night chill
Would you wish for me to?
Or would you prefer to know
That I would save you
Because you feel as if no one else would?
Deaths voice is honest, not harsh
He speaks only the truth
I know no one would.
I don't have friends
And my Father...
Her voice falters
Preventing her from finishing
So Sara instead
Looks to the moon
And remains silent
Death sits in the silence with her
Knowing silence is what she needs
The darkness and chill of the Night carressing them
Death does not breathe
And he watches in quiet amazement as
Her breath fogs in the air
Floating to the moon
And disappearing before reaching it
Tell me about where you come from
Sara says
Her voice cracking
What would you like to know?
Death's reply echoes in the Night
Everything
Death would smile in this moment
He can feel her sense of wonder
Her child-like awe of him
And he can't help but wonder if she will be drawn with every story
Or if she will flee
I shall start from the beginning
I come from the Realm of Spirits
A world beyond this one
A Realm that is not for the mortal eye to see while living
Very few a mortal has seen the Spirit Realm when they still walk on the Earth
At the beginning, before Time exsisted
The world was in choas
The emotions that lived in every man
Had taken control of men
There was no logic, no reason
All actions were based off of feelings
And so the world was in flames
At this time no Guardian exsisted
The only powerful being to exsist
Was The Universe
No one knows what he looks like
The Universe is infinite
Exsisting in every moment of Time
Past, Present, and Future
All who are good Guardians, sisters, closer than any
So, to prevent further destruction
The Universe created
The Guardians
A mystical being who represented and controlled
Every natural event, emotion, and so on
There are multiple Spirit Realms
The one I come from
Is the most powerful
For all the most powerful Guardians reign there
Deaths words fill Sara's ears
She watches Death
Her eyes wide in amazement
Death looks to the sky
Now, I answered a question
It is now your turn, to answe mine
Death looks to the girl
And her eyes flash with a memory
She swallows and moves closer to Death
Her feet dangling over the edge
What would you like to know?
Sara is nervous, her stomach twisted into a knot
Her heart races wildly
And though she hides it well
Death can feel her discomfort
He chooses a simple question, though he knows the answer
Who is the man who makes you bleed?
Sara looks to the Night sky
Her eyes filled with so many raging emotions
Anger, fear, and a loneliness
That is hard to handle alone
He doesn't make me bleed..
Death forms a hand and reaches out to her, but stops
Drawing back, knowing she is not ready
She can't answer yet
So they sit in silence, staring into the Night
You must sleep
The rest of the Night you will not wake
For nothing
In the morning you will hear my voice
And only then, shall you awake
Death whispers softly
And Sara's body droops with sleep
And her eyes close slowly
Death pulls her back from the edge
She lays limp in his arms
Her breathing slow and deep
Death watches Sara sleep
As he carries her to her bed
Laying her down
And covering her gently
Knowing
He is in too deep
That...
This is the point of no return.
