Death has a child

Chapter 1

A/N I decided to start a story about Thanatos having a child and the adventure of this child. Just wanted to try something out.

DISCLAIMER: DOES NOT BELONG TO ME

Axel's POV

I wish my life was normal once again. Having a normal life and not having a care in the world were the highlights of my life, I guess. Now I have to go through the dangers of fighting monsters and just surviving through the day. To understand my current predicament you must first understand my past:

I was born into the world fifteen years ago, being named Axel Thomas. My mother died soon after giving me birth to me. You could say I never understood what love meant just yet. According to those in the hospital where I was born, my father walked my mom to the gates of paradise. At first I thought that was just metaphorical and that she was just a good women. Apparently not, literally my father walked her to her respective destination in the afterlife. But I didn't understand how, until now. But let me first explain to you just how the world beyond the mist was presented to me.

Even at a young age I could tell when death was around me. I could tell if that man walking down the street was going to be met by death today. According to my sixth sense he was. Right on queue a drunk driver struck him with his pickup truck. The man walking died on impact from the vehicle. I witnessed his death and was totally apathetic about it. As if death was just a normal thing in my life. I guess it was. It sounds like I could tell the future right? I can't tell the future I can just tell when someone's days are numbered.

Throughout my childhood someone dying was just around the corner. Since my father was nowhere to be seen and my mother being in the afterlife I was given to an orphanage. Everyone including the workers in the orphanage strayed away from me. But it wasn't because I was a high maintenance or a problematic child. On the contrary I considered myself rather calm and peaceful. Instead of interacting with other children in the orphanage I had a unique interest in other matters. Such as inspecting pests such as cockroaches and rats being viciously squished and killed by humans. I found the ruthlessness in humans killing pests with great amusement. How easily one could be living one day and the next be totally out of this world.

I was left alone by the bullies in the orphanage as if they sensed that with one touch of my finger I could send them to the afterlife. I wish I could but sadly I could not. When playtime came around in the orphanage I was the first one to be picked on team games. Which is ironic because I have no bond or emotional ties with these children. But I guess the fact that I was fast and good at sports let that go unnoticed.

When the orphanage had field trips to the outside world. Wherever I went, crows would follow my every move. They were perched on the power lines on the streets. Flying around in circles as if alerting others of something. They watched intently as if awaiting my command, but since I was still oblivious to the world beyond the mist I pushed it aside as a rare occurrence.

Every time the orphanage planned a trip to the zoo. Things would happen. Like always crows would follow our group around and stare intently at us. The animals that were for show would go into hiding as if sensing danger. Even animals at the top of the food chain such as tigers and lions would find ways to hide. Whether in the trees or in their zoo made tunnels.

This is what I called a normal life. A boring life at that, but a simple one nonetheless. I had a normal life until that faithful night.

I had just turned fourteen years old. I woke up at night at the sounds of screams and things being knocked over. I realized my sixth sense was going crazy. Death was everywhere. It was present even in my room. I decided to wake up the individual who roomed with me.

"Hey wake up." I was shaking the boy viciously but he wouldn't budge.

"You insignificant human being, why are you playing that you're asleep?" He finally opened his eyes. I realized his eyes were full of fear.

"Axel can't you hear? Something terrible is going on. Pretend you're asleep or whatever is out there is going to kill us!" He was whispering as he gripped my arm forcefully.

He shoved me out of the way while he continued to pretend he was asleep. I noticed through window that it was extremely dark outside. It was barely visible. I looked at the boy who was still pretending to sleep and to this day I will always remember what I said to him.

"Well you're going to die tonight anyways. I'm going to escape death by climbing out this window." I noticed he didn't move and I took that as my signal that he wasn't coming with me to escape. I unlocked the window and struggled to open it. But I did. I slid out of the window onto the sidewalk and ran for my life. Because death was just behind me. I don't remember how much I ran that night but I ran so far I didn't even know where I was anymore. That night in Virginia was the most silent and horrific night to date in my life.

I remember collapsing from exhaustion and waking up on the sidewalk. I decided to walk further and further away from the orphanage because whatever was causing death at the orphanage was no doubt going to be looking for me. Since I was pretty sure I was the only survivor from that deadly night there was nothing left for me there anyways.

I encountered many more weird things on my journey to what now I call home. I started seeing monsters. I call them monsters because I don't know how to describe them. But I would see them devour other people or just murder them in cold blood. It would happen in the middle of the day and others who passed by would just keep going through their day as If they didn't see what was going on. I decided it was not wise to confront said monsters and just kept walking.

Luckily I didn't have to struggle to get money or food because people would just give me food or money out fear. I didn't get what they were fearing until it was later revealed to me who I was. I guess what these people saw was a future murderer or criminal. But they were further from the truth…

A/N So this just a peek of something I want to start. Please review and tell me if I should go on with this or if I should just delete it
