Hourglass of Souls

Chapter 1

"Tabitha," he whispered in her ear rudely, "Tabitha, wake up its time to start the day you bitch, we already have a bunch a light to collect." She scrunched her little nose and slowly opened her silver eyes to see Grim. He wasn't exactly how you would imagine the Grim Reaper, but he sure did act like a heartless bastard most of the time, but somehow she loved him yet hated him with a passion.

She scowled at him, and he stepped a foot away from her and she sat up, stretched and stood up out of the bed. "Hurry up and get dressed we already got a lot to do," he said walking away from her and shut the door after himself. She flicked him off and also stuck out her tongue at him after he left, being the Reaper's assistance wasn't always fun to do but he's the one that choose her to be next in line.

She took off her silky white night gown and put pulled on her long white gorgeous dress and her black heals, she stood up and brushed her hair quickly and left her cold room. He was already to go before she was when she walked out of the room, he had his long black ripped up robe on, his scythe in on hand and her hourglass in the other. He held it out for her and she clutched it tightly, and they left together.

They soon arrived to an old jail, there was many people in the sells laying down on the beds and many of them looked sick, tired or just sleeping. Grim headed down the hallway with sells on both sides of it and that way filled with coughing and groans echoing though out the prison. They stopped and turned to a young male no younger then 25 or 26, who had looked like he had been using drugs for a few years.

They walked in and the Male just started to wake up, his eyes opened and he blinked a few times in disbelief that there was a skeleton in front of him and a young pretty lady, she got down on her knees so that they were eye to eye, "Matt, it's your time to go," she held up the hour glass and took a hold of his scared up hand and placed it on the hour glass, it then showed how much time he had left to live, "you see Matt it's empty your time is up, you have to leave."

He nodded slowly and sat up, Grim held out his hand and Matt placed his on top. Grim closed his hand and Matt fell back down to the hard bed with his hazel eyes open. She stood up and Grim placed the light that we just got into the hourglass. And we left to go get the next one that was ready to leave.

Many hours later they arrived to her last light to collect for the night, but the strange thing was that she could sense it right away, and it was very powerful. It was almost like it was a fantasy light, a fantasy light is a person who is a fantasy creature who is ready to leave. Grim had told her about those, he said that they were one of the most powerful ones other then the paranormal lights, which is practically how it sounds.
