D.E.A.T.H.
Prologue
I am Death. Or should I say: I'm part of D.E.A.T.H. Now, you're probably wondering what I mean by that, am I right? Well, for starters, D.E.A.T.H doesn't mean what you think it is. In fact, it's an organization. Surprised? Maybe not, but what may surprise you is that there is more than one Death.
The organization, D.E.A.T.H. consists of a five-member council for each country in the world. These groups of five councilors, also called "Noters", report to the "Rulers" of D.E.A.T.H. The Rulers to us are like the Kings and Queens of the Mortal World, while the Noters are like Nobles.
Of course, since the Noters act like the Nobles in the Mortal World, they hardly do any dirty work at all. This is where millions of others and I come in. We are the "Reapers".
We collect the souls of the deceased, and bring them to our organization to sort. Yes, sort. We cannot die. Although we can eat, drink and sleep, we don't need to do those things to survive. We are masters at faking Mortal emotions and behaviors, as we have to blend in with them. Another thing you should know is that Reapers are solid beings, and not spirits that you can't see. In other words, you could be friends with a Reaper, and you wouldn't even know the difference.
There are also two fields of Reaping you can choose from: the animal field, or the Human field. Each field has it's own requirements and challenges. I'm in the Human field. Reapers in the Human field get assigned to a Human to watch them until they die. This is a new precautionary rule that the Rulers created to try to limit the amount of ghosts in the Mortal World (ghosts are created when a Reaper doesn't collect a soul within 24 hours).
Well, can you put two and two together yet? If you haven't then I'll say it nice and clearly: I fell in love. I fell in love with my assignment. Even I didn't think it was possible. "Just how does something related to Death fall in love?" Some of you might be wondering. Well that's a long story I've decided to tell anyone who's willing to listen.
