Prologue

I woke up laying in the snow. Though I was not cold, I was quite warm actually. I sat up and looked around. I was in a forest or some woods, near a lake. A shine caught my eyes. Going to the edge of the lake, I saw a sickle lodged into the ground. On the blade I could see the reflection of the moon. "This...is mine?" I asked it. I had the feeling it was. I grab held of the handle and gazed up at the moon. Once again that feeling came to me. "That's my name?" Somehow I knew that was right.

I begun to walk. Not sure where but I didn't think much about it. Soon I came to a village. "Hello? Can so-" Before I could finish my questions I was walked through. "Wait...you...you just...Hey!" Once again, it happened. "They can't see...or hear me..." I ran around trying to find someone who would see me. Finally I bumped into someone, a child. "Sorry little one." I told the boy. "Momma...she doesn't see me anymore. Papa can't hear me." he cried. "You too?" I said to him. "You see me?" He asked me. I nodded. "No one can see me either, we're the same." He clinged onto me and cried more. I wasn't sure how I thought of it but I begun to sing a lullaby. I still can't remember where it came from, but it's all I know. "Moonlight, Sunshine, show the way, through the darkness I'll never stray." It managed to calm the little boy down and I too felt serene. Only for a moment had I closed my eyes. I was surrounded by a bright warm feeling, but then when I opened my eyes. The boy was gone, only thing in my lap was a lily.

"Hello? Where did you go?!" I shouted for him, but he never came back. This happened again and again. I found dozens of little kids in that village and just like the boy, they all disappeared soon after I found them. I don't know why, but I did know that it hurt. "Why am I alone, why won't any of the kids stay with me?" I asked, but there was no answer. "Figures, no one replies." I mumbled. Out of anger I hit my scythe against the ice covering the ground and it instantly melts. "What's the point of warmth if I can't give it to anyone?!" I shouted.

I wiped away the tears and begun to walk again. I'm not sure where I was going, or how long it would take, I just knew I had to keep moving ahead.

My name is Angel, that's what I've been told at least. Just wish I was explained why anyone I meet leaves soon after.
