The word death is defined as "the ending of all vital functions or processes in an organism or cell", but you see the definition of death really is a new life, a chance to fulfill things that could not be done when you were placed on earth as a human. For many centuries humans have tried to escape death for they feared the afterlife, but the truth is you cannot escape death. Death, it takes everyone. The young, the old, the new and the aged. It does not discriminate against race, color, or culture. It takes the sick and healthy and no matter what, we all must face it. Even I had to face death, but there was no hope for me. No heaven to call my own and no hell to curse just, nothingness and then I was chosen.
You see in the beginning it was said that Lucifer was an angel of the Lord, but was jealous of the power that God had, so he decided he needed his own kingdom to rule, to control. He despised God for when he presented the idea to God, he had said no, and all that hate and anger grew and grew until one day God banished Lucifer to the farthest ends of the universe in which Satin had called hell. I am no angel of the Lord or minion of Satin, but more of a neutral between the both of them. I am known as many names like dark angel and death, but I am most commonly known as the grim reaper.
I wasn't always a reaper; you see I had a life of my own. A family with parents and an older brother but that was taken away from me. I was nineteen years old and my mother and father had been in a car accident, leaving me on my own. I hated the feeling of being alone and after that I was sent with foster parents, separated from my brother. The apartment I lived in with my foster parents was cramped and always smelled of smoke and I decided to take my own life. Suicide, it isn't the answer and as I fell, the lights of the city shined on and the asphalt welcomed me. After I died I met a man who told me his name was Castiel. He was the reaper whose place I would soon fill. He had told me that I was dead and warned me on what I was to become. At first I did not believe him until I was told that I would have a second chance at life.
