In my unconscious mind I began to think more and more till a certain memory came into view I was thirteen years old, living with my adoptive parent and three adoptive is when everything was good, now even better, everything was great. I loved them, and I still do. They were my family. You see if you wondering why I am adopted well I was abandoned by my birth mother when I turned six, so I still unfortunately remember her. That is truly was one of my most tragic memory. Then a Second thought came to mind,
"Okay my darling, I must leave you now." my mother said softly as rain caressed my cheek.
As any normal six-year-old would I began to cry. My soft sobs became loud frantic wails.
"Oh no dear! Don't cry! Shed no tear for me" she gently kissed my forehead then turned to leave. me at the bottom of a stair way."
"Mama." I whimpered as she walked away, leaving me to stand on the door step of a care home.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, the rain started poring down. The rain came down quickly, soaking me from head to toe, however it did me a favour, it hid my tears.
As I watched my mother's slender figure walk through the rain. Her waist-length, dark black hair growing darker as she finally disappeared into the misty haze of the street. My heart grew heavy with burden of losing my mother.
That was the last time I ever saw her and I knew the very next morning that some how she wasn't alive. I could just feel it somewhere deep inside me.
Still I sat on those dreaded down stairs, upon which I had been placed. My silent tears became uncontrollable sobs again. I was so pathetic, but who would blame me? I was just a small child whose mother just left them in the rain, all alone in the dark. suddenly I heard a creaking sound coming from behind me. Shocked I turned around. I looked over my shoulder to see a young woman standing in the door way of the ancient looking building where I had been abandoned. She must have heard my cries, I assumed that's why she came out.
"Oh Child! Come in here quickly you'll catch a cold!" she said the moment I looked up at her.
She reached her slender hands out and grasped mine. Her skin was soft and warm. It reminded me of mother. Thinking about her I began to cry silent tears again.
The woman comforted me by embracing me tightly like she would never let go, which I wished she would, I could barely breathe as it was. She was not helping in the slightest. Once she released me, I took a step back and looked at her. She was a lovely woman. She was younger than my mother yet older than I. Her blond curls bounced upon her shoulders, surrounding her almost angelic features. The most notice feature was her eyes. They caught my attention quickly. Warm sapphires filled with kindness and love. She was beautiful.
"Emily!" a someone shouted behind the door.
"Coming Madam!" Emily said calmly.
"Come now, follow me." She sweetly cooed, taking a hold of my hands and taking me inside.
"What is your name child?" Emily asked me while we walked.
Any other time I would have kept quiet and not trusted the person leading me, but Emily was different. She was not human. It would be impossible for her to be. No person in this world could be as kind and caring as she was. No she was no human, she was an angel, my guardian angel in my eyes, for at least the time being.
"Sam" I whimpered as tear filled my face.
"Crowned in glory uh" she spoke into her self.
"Well Sam I will make sure you have a great stay, ok babydoll" she spoke with a smile on her face. I smiled up at her as we proceeded down the hall.
That was a very distant memory and then as I was floating in the abyss of my mind my eyes shot open and I was in the same place in which I had fallen asleep.
when I a woke I could hear Amaimon I think his name was talking in the background. I stood up immediately, and felt the weight of the world around me pressing hard and pain wavered over me for a split second, and then I felt resolve gripping solid ground.
"I would not be controlled by this intangible force. After all, I hate looking weak." I spoke within my self.
I climbed out the window with blood pouring down my face at the fall I had moments before. I landed on the ground with a thud. I began to walk away, forcing down the desire to run. I took step after step, breathing heavily as my footsteps hit the dusty earth. The beat within the earth slowed slowly. My heart growing heavier. Thump. Thump. Thump.
The beating suddenly switched from slowing down to speeding up, and with every step I took it seemed to get faster and faster, my heart thumping wildly with every step I took. I began to un forward threateningly as I ran, almost falling or tripping up as I went.
By the time I saw a large pointy rock, it was too late. My Heart has just gave in and I fell over it. To the edge of the cliff.
Falling through the air, I landed flat on my face. I sat up slowly, spitting out a mouthful of dirt. I felt unable to move, suddenly I was many years older than I actually was. I my sight turning black, awaiting My fate. The thumping of my heart was wild, I bit my lip until it bled freely down the front of his chin.
Then, the ground in front of me opened. My silence was broken again as I cried out in shock and alarm. A great burst of steam shot out of the hole in the ground burning me. I tried to pull myself back away from the hole, but my arms wouldn't move. Nor would my legs even so much as twitch. Then crying for the sweet embrace of death.
"You have called upon me," a deep voice came out of the hole, Causing me to shriek
I then saw a figure in my slight black haze starting to rise out of the hole. He was wearing a deep black hood with long black robes. His face was covered. Around his chest was a bright white tie a white so pure that It looked like it was made by angels.
"So that you may look upon my face." His demanding tone echoed through the valley.
I shook my head in mute silence. I could not believe what I was seeing. The creature stepped out of the hole and into the valley, though his feet never touched the ground. They hovered above it his cloak barely hiding them.
"Why are you so speechless now, when you were originally so outspoken? Do you not wish to curse my name?" He said again.
"I am sorry" I said without thinking. "Please, do not hurt me." I begged at the creature.
"Hurt you? I wouldn't dream of it" he said chuckling. I looked away.
"Why do you look away? Is it not my face that you wished to look upon? Turn towards me." He demanded.
I obeyed, not wanting to anger the creature. "Are you…Death?" I asked gravely.
The creature nodded, "I am. I am Death in its truest form." he replied.
"Now look into my eyes, and I will help you out of your misery. For you are miserable aren't you?" he said. I quickly towards him.
"I must know what happens. Is there truly life after death? Or is death the final stretch?" I begged, crawling to the creature's feet.
"I will tell you once you do what I have asked of you," said the creature patiently.
I, without another word, looked into Death's eyes. Death pulled his hood down and looked down at me. Death's face was pale and grained, stretched awkwardly over tight features.
I saw my life replayed over in my head, except it was not through my eyes that he saw it. It was through an invisible third person's view, namely Death. Death was patient, watching everything that I did. He was never anxious to end my life, but was always there, waiting, watching. Then he spoke and said to me
"Life, it is a funny thing you know. It takes your mother only hours to bring you into this world. Only hours but It takes only takes a matter of seconds for you to be removed from it. It is inevitable, you will die. Whether it is early or later in life, it will happen."
he paused and began his long lecture again.
"Now, however, what you do during your short time here is up to you, People do not live as they were meant to."
"They are too busy dwelling on the past or worrying about the future to realize the present. To know what your future holds is every person's dream." another pause and he turned to me my face in awe.
"They also do not realize that by judging others, they are signing their own soul away, just giving it up like it means nothing. They do not realize that their soul is their pass to peace after death."
"How would you know this?" I asked. He was silent a slight snicker came from his mouth he said.
"Well, again, to know your future is not that great of a "gift." Believe me, I know, for I have this so-called "gift." One touch, just one touch is all I need to see your past, present, and yes, your future. Now, do not misunderstand me, for in the end you all have the same future, the same destiny." I cut him off again.
"Then what is my destiny?" I asked.
"Like I said before, death is yours and everyone else's destiny. Now, aside from your destiny, every person has a calling, which is your predetermined compensation to society for your presence here. It's up to you what path you take." He finished.
"So Tell me now young one do you want to live and by forever cursed or do you want death to consume your being, remember it is up to you Sam choose wisely" he asked.
I turned my gaze to him and spoke "I will choose to life a cursed life as it is better to have never lived at all, I know I am stalling my predetermined fate but I can't die yet" I said with truth in every word.
Death looked upon me with a grin and spoke "very well Sam, I will see what will happen Good bye."
With That done I blacked out again and woke up in my bed in Glasgow.
