The Four Horsemen Origins
Chapter 1: Death's Origins (Darica Lilith Dyer)
So, have you ever wondered what death feels like? I know because that's how I am one of the four horsemen, but more on that later. My story starts when I died on the night of my 25th birthday. I left my birthday party that my friends had set up and I forgot to tell my brother to come pick me up when it ends. So, like a dumb-ass I decided to walk down the streets of the Capital at ten o'clock at night. Smart idea, right? Well anyway I didn't notice but two men were walking behind me, and I only knew that there were two guys was because they jumped me. They started punching me, kicking me, and then pinned me down to the ground, but before that I noticed that one of them had a gun and it was pointing right at my face.
He told me that if I was a good girl that I wouldn't get hurt, but after he said that he must've slipped on something because next thing I knew a bang rang out and everything went dark. I later woke up in a place I didn't know. Every was white and from what I saw it looked like it was a never-ending place. I don't know what told me to walk around, but the next thing I knew after taking one step I noticed that I stepped in a red liquid. I looked around to see where the blood came from and that was when I saw my body lying there and bleeding out, I stood there shocked and scared. I asked myself did I just get murdered those guys. I walked closer to see to make sure that it wasn't me. It couldn't have right like it was my 25th birthday and I had was probably dreaming but after I saw the design on the back of one of my favorite shirts, I knew that I wasn't.
I slowly sat down and just stared at my body. I didn't know what to do and i just started softly crying until I felt a hand touch my shoulder.
"My child why are you crying?" a voice behind me asked. I turned my body around to see what or who asked me that question. To my amazement i saw a woman there with a white dress, a crown, and six white wings behind her.
"W-who are you?" I stammered, with fear in my voice as I looked at the being in front of me.
"I'm Angela child" Angela declared "But you still haven't answered my question. Why are you crying?" she said with concern in her eyes as she looked at me.
"My name is Darica." I mumbled to her "And I'm crying because I died today and I'm scared, I don't know... I don't know what to do or where to go in this place." I whispered to her looking down with tears on my face.
I continued to look down and I only stopped when I felt two arms wrap around me. I noticed that Angela was hugging me like a mother would hug her child when they're upset.
"It's ok child." Angela reassured. "I'm sorry that this happened to you and I understand that you are scared." she comforted and with that i broke out into a sob. I hugged her back and put my head into her shoulder to cry. What surprised me was i felt her hand rub my back and her saying things like it's alright, it's okay child, and her shushing me to calm me down.
After a few minutes I calmed down and Angela looked at with a small smile.
"Better?" she asked, still hugging me.
"Yeah. I think I'm better now. But can you let me go know, this is kind of embarrassing" I said with a blush on my face because it was a little weird being hugged by someone that you just meet. She chuckled a slowly unwrapped her arms and stood up hold her hand out.
"Come. Even though we just meet and all. I can help you if you want." Angela stated. I pondered the option and yes i understand that i just meet this woman, but do I have any other choice. I reached out and grabbed her hand so she can pull me up.
"Though I have one question before you help me" I wondered, Angela looked at me letting me continue. "What are you exactly?" I questioned.
She looked at me and chuckled "Well child I am what you humans call an angel." claimed Angela with a smile. I stood there in amazement and awe, because when I was a little girl, I always thought angels where real and here I was looking at one right now.
"Wow. That's so cool." I claimed, "So how are you going to help me." I asked her. She looked at me and motion me to follow her as she turned around and started walking.
"Well child I'm going to help by giving something if you're interested." Angela asked as we continued walking away from my body in this white void.
"What is it?" I asked wondering what she was talking. Angela smiled and continued.
"The truth is I need your help with something. There have been problems that I have been forced to deal for many years but at this very moment I've grown weak with time." Angela sighed.
I took what she said in my head and I thought about if I should even do it, but there was something about how she said that she has grown weak.
"Ok, for me to decide I need to know more first. Like I would love to help, but I don't want to rush into something that I can't do." I told her. Angela nodded her head and continued as we kept walking.
Angela told me that her problems was that my world and others were being affected by something that even her bosses don't know and for them to deal with them they need a person called a Horseman. A Horsemen is a person with the power of both angel and devil. They are also experts in weaponry, magic, and anything that you want to learn.
"So, you need 4 people to help you do this mission and you are asking me to join you so you can start this mission?" I question her after she told me her story.
"Yes, that's I can say as of right now." Angela stated, "So will you help me Darcia?" she asked me.
"After hearing all that I can say that I will love to help you, but can I have some time? I still need to process bring... you know... dead" I said looking at her with a sad smile.
"Take all the time you need. Here let me give you this key. This will teleport you to your new room." Angel said making a key with a bright light and giving it to me.
"Thank you. How will I let you know when I'm ready?" I asked. Angela smiled and looked at " Don't worry. I check up on you after a few days. Please take your time." Angela said smiling.
I talked up to her and gave her a hug and thanked her for helping me. After our hug she showed me how to use the key and once i figured out how to use it i found myself in a new room. I looked around only to see a bed, some chairs, and a table. I slowly walked up to the bed and got on it to lay down. After i did though i started crying again. I'm going to miss my friends, my brothers, and most importantly my mom. Granted me and her never saw eye to eye, but we both knew that we loved and cared for each other.
"Time for a whole new life..." I mumbled as more tears left my eyes.
And there you go. There's my story and i hope you found somethings cool out of it. Oh, I almost forgot, Angela give me my Horsemen power yesterday. As you could've as guessed I'm Death. I'm the leader of the Horsemen and now i need to start my next mission. Founding my sister and brothers because the Horsemen are a family and i need to find my family again.
