"I wish that I could have you forever, not just in my dreams…"
Antonio looked down on Danica; the only time he could be there for her was in her dreams. He had been there every single night since his death. He hated seeing her like this. He had once held hope of Danica getting through it but she never did.
He looked around at the souls of the other people he'd have to spend eternity with and bowed his head not sure of what to do.
Two
figures appeared in front of him "This is where you'll be
now…this is heaven" Antonio recognised him as the Angel of
Death
"Will I be able to see my kids again?" the older man
asked sadly
"Anytime you want but not in person…" The Angel explained
Antonio began to think maybe there was something he could do to get back to Danica, he approached the Angel of Death "Can we make a deal" he said straight away taking the Angel by surprise
"Depends on what you're willing to do for me…"
……………………………………………………………………………………
Feeling
the safety of his warm embrace Danica began to relax. It had been so
long since she'd seen him, her heart was beating faster than
usual.
"I wish that I could have you forever, not just in my
dreams…" She whispered. The dreams had become her only way of get
through everything. His Death had yet to be accepted over a year
later. Danica missed him so much it hurt; she decided to face reality
and open her eyes. But reality looked better then a dream at that
moment because there Antonio was sleeping peacefully, he was alive,
she took a deep breath and shook him lightly wanting to make sure
Antonio was more than just an allusion. Tears welled in her Hazelnut
brown eyes; he awoke as his eyes met hers a small smile forming on
his lips.
"How are you here right now?" she asked as she laid
there shock
"You wished for me back…" He whispered, Danica
noticed that his eyes looked as beautiful as ever and she recognised
a hint of mischievousness in them, something she'd seen on several
occasions.
"What's the catch?" she asked knowing something
would have to happen in order for this to work.
"We live the
best lives we can…" He chuckled menacingly
"But…you're…we're…I'm…." Her words jumbled as
she tried to express her confusion
"Shh…" he interrupted her
kissing her softly "I'm here now…don't question it" he
whispered
"I've missed you so much Antonio" Danica said as
she began to cry.
"I've missed you too Baby girl but I'm
here now" he whispered stroking Danica's cheek lightly.
……………………………………………………………………………………
"If
I give you one more chance at life are you willing to become an angel
of death like myself? Is she really worth that much to you?" The
Angel asked
"Yes she really is worth that." Antonio sighed
feeling contented
"Is there anything else you want?"
"Well
it would be weird for me to return now…maybe go back to the day
before my death" he asked
"This is going to be very
difficult, I'm going to need you to work as much as possible
because we're going to lose a lot of souls once we go back in time"
The Angel explained
"Okay Angel of Death. Sir. I'll do what
it takes"
"You can call me Lance" he said "Fine I'll
place you back with her when she's sleeping, you will receive a
list of the names of the people whose souls needs collecting and you
now have the ability to travel between earth, the spirit realm,
Heaven and Hell" Lance explained sticking his hand out for Antonio
to shake, Antonio accepted as a small sign of the deal being brokered
"Good now here's your contract" He said pulling it out of his
pocket before handing it to Antonio "Have a good read through it
and then sign where the tabs are" Lance explained.

Antonio
lay there longer as Danica slept in his arms, his mind began to drift
to the task ahead of him, and it was worth it to be with her. He knew
if he hadn't of comeback he would never see her again. He was
broken out of his thoughts when a figure appeared in the bedroom.
Kissing Danica's forehead he got up greeting Lance.
"What are
you doing here?" he whispered
"I've come to inform you of a
few things" Lance shrugged
"Fine go ahead" he sat down
looking up at Lance
"Alright, well this here is a list of names
of the souls you have to collect, these souls will have to be
collected by midnight tomorrow" a list appeared in Lance's hand "
You can find the people just by thinking of their names, and all you
have to do is guide them to either Heaven or Hell, the list will tell
you where they need to go" Antonio took the list from Lance and
looked down at the names of the people he'd have to help, he felt a
small sense of relief in seeing that none of the names belonged to
people he knew. Stuffing the list his pocket he looked back up at
Lance "Are you going to show me how to do this?"
"Yes I am, come on" Lance and Antonio's figures faded from the room.
……………………………………………………………………………………
Their
figures appeared in what looked like an abandoned hospital.
"This
is the spirit realm, the soul of the person you're looking for will
end up here" Lance explained "Once you find their soul you are to
explain to them that they are dead and you are taking them to their
fate, heaven or hell. If they need comforting, that's what you have
to do. The portal will open once you find them so you can comfort
them while you're leading them into it…"
Antonio stood there
for a moment looking around "how long will I have to do this for?
It wasn't in the contract"
"For a year" Lance said
nonchalantly "You probably should've asked before signing
it"
Before Antonio could speak they were interrupted "Hello.
Is anybody there?" a scared voice came from another room
"we're
out here" Lance said in a softer tone unlike the one that he had
graced Antonio with "I know you're scared" he continued "but
everything's okay."
The portal had opened in front the three
of them "Leanne, I'm sorry but you died on the operating
table…I'm here to guide you to your fate, whether it be heaven or
hell" Antonio recognised those words far too well. He had heard
them himself. Leanne was only young, he guessed she was about 16, her
eyes were green, her long blonde hair framing her face and she had
pail almost snowy skin, the fear could be seen in her eyes, despite
the belief that once you die you stop feeling things you learn that
your feelings are still there and that sometimes you end up equally
hurt as you watch your loved ones mourn, some people chose not to
watch them having seen the pain of others but most wanted to check
things were going okay.
"I have hair…" the young girl said
abruptly "but how…"
"Well when you die, you form into what
you should've been like if you were to be still alive" Lance
explained as he led her and Antonio into the portal "and this is
your fate" they were in back in heaven "You'll be able to see
your family and the others will help you" he smiled at her. Antonio
sighed to himself, she was so young. She should have had her whole
life ahead of her.
This whole thing was going to be harder on him then he had originally thought.
……………………………………………………………………………………
Antonio got back into bed with Danica who was still asleep wrapping his arms around her he kissed her forehead "I promise I'm not leaving" he whispered.
Laying there he watched her sleeping peacefully a smile graced her face, he couldn't help but feel a little better about his decision.
"Morning
Antonio" Danica opened her eyes happily
"Good Morning Baby
Girl" he smiled
"How are you going to explain that you're
alive to everyone" Danica asked unaware of the change in time.
"I
don't have too, this is the day before my surgery" he explained
kissing her softly
"But how?" she asked again
Antonio
chuckled "Let's just say someone up there is looking out for you"
he decided against the truth.
