Hollow City
~Introduction~
Black smoke rose from the carriage crash, random debris and splatters of blood littered the site. The horses involved ran wild, screaming and rearing. One in particular, a black mare, was stamping and snorting about dangerously close to those trapped underneath a crushed carriage. A young child began to scream in terror as the hooves grew ever closer to them. A bystander by the name of Andrew Kastello rushed forward to the aid of the trapped people. However for the screaming child he was too late. The mare slamed her hooves into the child's skull crushing it into a pulp. The child's screams cut off instantly.
Andrew watched in horror and ran to save anyone and everyone from the same fate as the child. He pulled a childand it's parents out of the crushed carriage he watched them run a safe distance away before he turned and sped to the other carraige. He ripped off the twisted door and helped two upper class adults, and what appeared to be their three children, out of the ruined carriage. As he set down the last child on the ground the upper class couple gave an shout of alarm. Confused and startled he turned around to see what they were yelling at, he was met with a pair of hooves.
Lights and a doctors face appeared sometime later when Andrew awoke. He turned his head to the side and saw what he had come to know as the Reaper of Souls. The Reaper looked like anyone else, however people did not seem to be able to see him,or hear him. Not only that but he wore dark robesall the time and always carried a sword with him. Andrew had seen the Reaper touch the dead with his sword, he had seen them disappear in light. The Reaper only delt with the dead, seeing him here, Andrew knew the inevitable had come. With the last of his strength he lightly tugged on the doctors sleeve, ignoring the unimaginable pain he was feeling, and whispered out: "Tell...Tell my loved ones...tell them to bury me...with the Music Box. They'll...They'll understand." With one last shuddering wheeze of a breath, Andrew Kastello died from internal bleeding.
Dear Readers,

I would like to thank each and everyone of you for reading this, and beg you all to make a review even though it may be a lot to ask. Also I need some editors/ preveiwers. Previewers get to read each chapter before anyone else, and Editors will be allowed to talk me into changing the plot/adding couples. If you want in on one of these jobs just send me a message!
