A Kiss from the Angel of Death
My crow Omen called out a "Koww". I walked to the water puddle Omen standing upon. In the water reflection, I saw a face. It was not my face. The reflection belonged to a girl who no longer wished to live in this cruel world. I stepped onto the puddle and I was immediately brought to a room that I had never been in.
It's cold and dark. I was inside a small apartment; the living room was the bedroom, the dining room and the kitchen. The room was rather empty, barely any personal belongings. Next to me, a poor girl was lying on the bed, both wrist cut, fresh blood on the floor. "You wish not to live anymore?"
She nodded. Too weak to talk, she lipped, "Thank you."
I did not make decision for people. I did not judge. I was only here to help. I was here to collect their soul.
I spread my wings and kissed the girl, releasing her from her pain. I felt her soul coming from her cold lips into my body. The living glow of her body turned into a lifeless grey.
I heard key turning in the doorknob, so I turned around and looked at the door. A girl let herself in.
The girl looked at my direction, as if she could see me. I knew she wasn't looking at me. She was looking through me, looking at the lifeless body behind me.
"Mom!" She ran towards her pale mother. Not bothered by the blood she was standing onto, she shook her mother's motionless body, trying to wake her up. She failed.
She ran out of the house, banging on their neighbors' doors. No replied. I knew people were in the house. I would feel it. But... people were too selfish to give this little girl some help.
Maybe I should take the girl with me? But her will power was so strong. It was not her destiny. It was none of my business. Seconds later, I was back to the place I came from. My time on Earth was up. I never controlled where I went and what I did. I never took an innocent life. I was only helping people, releasing them from their living curse.
Now, I shall return to my sleep and be awake when I am called upon again.
Don't forget to R&R.
