Forbidden Love - Chapter 1: Meet Death
The night was passing away slowly like a fading cloud. The curtains at my window fluttered gently, whispering voiceless nothings beside my ears. I knew I was dying. The doctor had said that I still had a few weeks more to live, but I could feel Death standing at the foot of my bed, ready to bring me to where I would soon belong.
Then there he was. A male, I could tell, dressed in a black cloak, with a hood over his head, hiding his face, just like what you would see in movies. He held the weapon used to cut the thread of life in a person with both his hands.
"Who are you? I asked, despite knowing full well who he was.
" You're .. asking me," he paused for a while before continuing on the rest of his speech skeptically, " Who I am?" I looked away at that. "Why bother asking when you already have the answer?" questioned the man in the black cloak, his voice voided from any emotion.
"Death .." I muttered, trying to avoid looking at him. There was a short silence before he broke the silence, " Yes, I am Death."
" Is it time?" I whispered finally willing to look up at him after my first question to him. I was mentally prepared. Despite of that, there was still a lump in my throat. One of the most frightening things that could happen to one is not death: it is entering into a place you have no idea of. I have strictly no idea where he would lead me.
The dark figure nodded. " Come, my love, let us leave now." He whispered back. His voice was surprising clear.. it was almost .. beautiful .. too beautiful. Suddenly, I felt my strength returning back to me. I sat up - and went through the blanket covering me. I knew that my body was still there; it was but an empty shell with no soul.
That was when there was a crash and I turned to see my hand - the solid one - slip without life, hitting the flowerpot by the bedside. The door of the room swung wide open and my family members raced to me. "Sound effects are always needed in a day's worth of work," Death said, with a hint of amusement in his voice.
I saw my brother Taichi, hugging my body - the solid one - and was weeping for all his was worth. My parents hugged together, sobbing into each other's embrace and kept calling my name. I did not expect them to be so upset with my death. I knew my departure would hurt them, but I did not expect it to really hurt that much.
" They love you." Death's voice took a little dip into emotions. His words lingered in my head and they refused to go away as much as I wanted to.
" Don't deny it. You know very well what I have just said was the truth," Death spoke aloud.
I turned to him and eyed him before he pulled back the hood that was shadowing his face. The face beneath the shadows was more than I could bear. He was so beautiful .. and he even looked angelic. Should there be wings sprouting out from his back even if he still held that terrifying weapon of his, one would still think that he is an angel, not the fearsome Death whom mankind fear. Just his short beautiful golden-blonde hair, and his eyes of the miraculous blue shining with something special from within alone can make any woman or girl melt and make fellow males to gasp. There was something special about his eyes, which I cannot put my fingers into. It did not felt like any negative feelings to me, instead it was a very positive one. From what I could tell, he was not any older than I was.
" Would you like to stay?" he asked, giving me a heart-melting smile. I choked
Here he was - Death- actually letting me choose my own fate. " I don't know .." I answered truthfully.
" You are, but a child.." he tempted.
" I.. I've never been happy," I sighed with regrets, " I feel so helpless.. Life can be so unmeaning at times. I often ask myself, why am I here? Everyone comes to this place with a mission and a purpose. Some is to save the world; some is just to fall madly in love. But why am I here? To fall sick and have to have needles poking into my arms? What is my mission? What is the purpose for my existence?" As I was saying this, my eyes have never met the graze of Death.
He nodded understandingly. " You do have an important mission, Hikari. You have one. It is just that the time for you to know the truth has not arrived yet. But it is your choice, whether to continue living to fulfill your purpose, or just simply leave with me?"
I heard my family crying so terribly that I could not help but feel sorry for all the pain I have inflicted on them. " If I say I wish to live, would you let me?" I asked.
" Yes, but on one condition. You have to promise me that no matter how bleak the future looks, never lose the light in your heart. Should you lose this light again, you shall perished without a doubt and by then, no one, not even I myself, can save you again. Remember, that light in your heart has a name, it is called 'Hope'."
" I .. I" I clenched my fist, unable to decide. Finally, I met Death's graze and I nodded, " Yes, I wish to live."
" Very well then," Death smiled and he leaned forward and planted a kiss on my forehead. I closed my eyes. And the next thing I knew, I was in my bed, with my family members fussing over me and calling for the village physician.
Death was still there, at the foot of my bed. ' Can I see you again?' I spoke to him through my mind. I knew he would be able to hear it.
" No one in his right mind would want to see me. Why would you want to see me again?" he questioned, with a very big hint of amusement in his voice.
'I kinda like you. I don't know why. I felt a very strong bond with you. The moment I saw you, I had this feeling of déjà vu for you.'
Silence.
Finally, Death spoke up, " I like you too and too, have that déjà vu feeling. That's precisely the reason why I came to see you and even allow you to choose your own fate. I'll come back for you, in the near future. But I think it would be better that I sealed this memory of yours up for a while. Until you are ready, would this part of your memory never come back."
"Really?" I asked in doubt.
And with that he smiled again - then he was gone and everything went blank for me.
Hope it is not too bad for the first chapter. Please, if you have enjoyed this story, please let me know through the reviews. The reviews would also tell me whether I should continue on with this story or not. Oh ya, please don't expect to see Patamon or tailmon in this fan-fic. I'm trying to shake off the digidestined image for this story. Hope you enjoy it and review
