Chapter 2

The light…

I am feeling as I am in a tunnel of darkness… The walls are trying to suffocate me as I am trying to reach for the light at the end… It seems like it may be impossible, but as a mere human being, I struggle with all my might, clinging onto that piece of hope.

But… I did it all myself. I pulled the trigger and therefore, I should be able to accept my fate. But, as my breath was fading little by little, I realized that I wasn't running because I wanted to keep being alive… But more, I wanted to reach Heaven.

Who am I kidding? I will never be able to reach Heaven. If I could describe my past in only one word it would be "sin". Also, God doesn't exit. So, what am I supposed to do now?

I stopped running. All my life I ran and ran and ran. I am sick of it. Not even in the sweet dream of death I cannot escape. If it is that I am stuck in here and crushed by the dark then so be it. I do not care anymore.

I've put my hands on my face and started crying. Only that, there were no tears. I couldn't hear my scream. It was empty silence. The absolute. The infinity. Space and time collided together. However, I felt as something was calling me. It wasn't a voice. More like… an energy…

I looked around me, but, there was no one there! The energy made itself more and more powerful and present like before. Finally, I looked up.

A hand, was descending from the infinite, reaching out to me. A hand that had a white glove on it, and some red droplets pouring down its fingers. Subcounciously, I reached out to it too. But it seemed that it was too far away. I stood up, but it was futile.

Finally, I started jumping towards it. Though again, it didn't make a difference. After many trials, my feet made one more effort: I jumped as high as I could, remembering a moment when I tried to climb the window to my room so than nobody would see me.

And I reached it!

That hand catched me and kept me dangling in the air for some seconds.

As I was about to ask "Who are you?" the limb started pushing me upwards fast. I screamed. And as the slience began to fade, I could hear my shriek, being slowly, slowly louder until I felt like I could go deaf.

A light appeared before me and for a second I thought I may go blind. But it wasn't like this.

…

"AAAAHHH!" I screamed as I stood up rapidly.

"Oh, my. It seems you finally came to your senses." Said a male voice.

"W…What…H..appened?" I muttered.

"Just stay still, ok?" and I felt two arms pushing me gently down.

My head felt something very comfortable. A pillow? Am I in a hospital? Did I survive? But…But…

I looked around and I saw a tall man, with brown glasses and green eye, hazel hair and a white robe looking at me. He suddenly took out a device similar to a pen that flashed a little light and put it into my eye.

"W… What are you doing?" I rapidly pushed him away.

I started freaking out as I didn't know what the heck is going on.

"Now, don't be so reckless. I understand that you have no idea about what happened, but if you will let me finish consulting you, everything will be better, alright?"

"Uhm… I guess…"

Afterall, what could I do? I needed ansxwers and as far as I was concerned, this man knew them.

"So" the man continued "do you remember your name?"

"I… I don't know…"

"Try to remember."

"A… Something with an "A" I guess… Ann… No. Aman… No… Ame…"

"Yes, continue…"

"A…me…lie?"

"Good. It's good that you remember. Your last name?"

"Amelie… THORNEY! I AM AMELIE THORNEY! THAT'S ME!"

"Alright I get it…"

"So… Do you have any idea of where could you be right now?"

"Hea..ven? Maybe?"

The man giggled. "And what makes you say that?"

"Well, this surely doesn't look like Hell…"

"And don't you think that this could be a neutral world, neither in the Heaven, nor Hell?"
"Not as far as I'm concerned."

"My dear, I am afraid that you are totally wrong. Although, humans tend to be quite reserved in telling stories about neutral parts. It is the armies that fight eachother that are interesting, afterall."

"What?"

"Darling, this is a different world. It doesn't really have a name. But the people here are called 'Shinigami', do you understand?"

"Shi-ni-ga-mi."

"That's right!"

"And what am I doing here?"

"Well, this is because you killed yourself, my dear."

"Killed…Myself… Yes, I remember, although my memories are quite blurry."

"That's perfectly normal. Oh my~I almost forgot. Someone is here to pick you up!"

"?"

The man opened the door and there, in the doorway, stood another man, also with green eyes. It was so unusual to firstly observe the eyes of the people here… He also had his raven hair perfectly combed and a pair of black frames were standing on the bridge of his nose. In his hand, was a book, not too big, with not so many pages.

I suddenly observed that I was staring so I directed my sight somewhere else. As soon as I did that, the stranger began to speak:

"My name is William T. Spears. I will assist you at your training and then evaluate you at the exams. So, please, prepare yourself and I will lead you to your temporary dorm."

"Uhm… Yes."

I wanted to stood up from the bed I was into, but I felt like it was a little cold so I shivered. When I looked down to see where to put my foot, I saw that I wasn't wearing an usual attire. I was dressed up in a short, white and silky robe, with a red liquid pouring down from the part of my stomach. Because I was taken by surprise, I started screaming…

"Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I am bleeding and I am almost nakeeeed! Whaaaa~"

William put his hand on his forehead and gave a deep sigh as I kept whining like a little child.

He turned to the other man and gave him a deathly glare.

"You did it again, didn't you?"

"I just couldn't help myself… hehe."

"Give. Her. A. Normal. ATTIRE!" growled the raven-haired man.

I received a knee-length dress to rapidly change.

Still sobbing, I turned around and lifted my white robe. When it uncovered my stomach, I saw that there was nothing there and that the red liquid was not, in fact, blood from my body… I sniffed two or three times and quickly changed into the dress. It looked more like a nightgown than a day-dress.

"Are you done?" said the man named William.

"Y…Yes."

Then appeared another problem: when I looked in their direction, the men appeared blurry and couldn't see them.

"Now I am BLIND!? WHAAAA~~~"

"Don't cry, my dear, said the man with a white robe. Here. Wear these. I wondered when the nearsightning would appear!"

He handed me a pair of glasses. Their frames were… PINK!? Wha…? Okay, that officially was misogynistic. But I quite liked them… I don't know why…

"Thanks."

"Let's go." Said William turning around and starting to leave."

"W…WAIT!"

I ran after him on the hallway, trying to keep up with his pace.

In the past, I've always wanted to live a wonderful adventure – to do something uniqe with my life. Little did I know that the biggest adventure will start after my death…
