"Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back!"

-Author: I have no clue… Sorry!

She can't be dead. It's not possible. Death is not an option! I must be mistaken! I had awoken this morning, he sun stretching its rays across the dirt floor luxuriously. I had smiled as the last flecks of sleep drifted from me, I reached out to my left, hoping to find Nobody's body curled up beside me so I might pull her closer but it was simply not to be so. I didn't panic and I reached to the other side and felt around. She wasn't there, my eyes snapped open and danced around the cottage. No one but me.

About this time I heard a woman's scream pierce the early morning sky. I leapt out of the door and headed back into the forest, praying I wasn't too late.

I hadn't gone all that far and it hadn't taken me long but it felt like an eternity. It felt like I was trying to run through syrup. When I reached her she wasn't breathing. Her mask was on and she was lying on the ground clutching the knife hilt sprouting out of her small stomach.

Her white shirt was soaked in blood and her eyes were staring and glassy. They stared into the sky with fear. Hoping I could still save her I ripped half the buttons on her shirt off. Immediately I noticed that her ribs protruded out of her stomach violently, like a starving person's might. The hilt stuck out of the center of them. I began to blush with the realization that I had just ripped open a girl's shirt as I fumbled for her wrist to try to detect a pulse. There was nothing. In that moment all of my embarrassment died and was replaced with sorrow. She was dead. Who had killed her? Who would want to destroy this wonderful girl? Rage boiled in my veins. I was tired of this! Something good happened to me and it always left, went away, died! I was cursed! I tossed back my head and let out a monstrous scream.

` I would find this demon that had taken this girl from my life. Had taken her before I could convince her to love me! My guardian angel couldn't be dead. It was impossible! Angels can't die! No she must be somewhere else.

My hands flew up to her face and caressed it gently, a silver tear slipping down my cheek. My fingers left trails of her own crimson blood along ivory skin. Another tear, and another fell down my face before I was all out sobbing, the sobs of despair racking my chest as I mourned my loss.

I had to see her face. Just once more. I had to look upon the elegant beauty she held. Once again my fingers picked at the edge of the black cloth. I half expected her to reach up and snatch my hand before I could rip the mask off. I paused, waiting but it never came. Gently, I tugged the mask off and was met with the surprise of my life.

The face that stared up at me was NOT Nobody's face. The face that stared up at me was horrible! Only half human, the rest looked goblin. I gagged before noticing Nobody was shimmering with glitter. I got the feeling that even when Nobody died she wouldn't allow glitter upon her figure. I immediately knew whose fault this must be!

I was angry with him to say the least! How dare he take my precious Nobody?! I didn't mess with his Sarah! Did he think I wouldn't look under her mask? I hope he's not that stupid or this game will be far too easy for me! I resolved to get her back as I stood and set off toward my destination. This was war. The goblin king would curse the day he messed with me!

*Thanks to Singerdreamer42 for introducing me to the song 'The world has gone insane' from Jekyll and Hyde. I couldn't get it out of my head so I listened to it while I was writing this. That's how I choose chapter's names. So I don't know if you'll understand why that was the name but if you really want to know PM me and I'll explain. Remember leave a review please!
