~The LAPTOP~
Sari picked up the laptop curiously. She wondered how on earth it could get there. It had no reason to be there. Her parents had no reason to go out and by her one either. She thought she'd better boot it up, and have a look inside, in case someone left it here. She studies the case with curiosity. It was shinny and black. There was a small white skull near the handle. It opened with a 'click' As soon as she opened it, it began to boot up automatically.
"Cool" Sari was impressed. This computer did not run on windows, but it had a similar environment. The colour scheme involved a lot of black, and the same skull on the font of the case is used a lot as a button. There was no start menu, but a few buttons on the desktop. One of them was a button called 'Soul.EXE' she curiously double clicked on it. A prompt came up. "Enter Soul Code" Sari scratched her head, wondering what on earth that meant. It must be some computer game. She thought she'd better not mess about with it, because it could be one her Dad's workmates laptop.
"Dad, did one of your workmates leave a laptop in MY room!?!" Sari shouted from her room.
"I don't know, Sari, " he started, "I don't think anyone from work would come into your room" Sari turned the laptop over to see if there was any labels on it. There was a small gold label nailed to the back of it. Sari looked closer
"Sari Olan, " she whispered to herself, "that's me?" Sari climbed down the stairs into the lounge room, where her dad was reading the newspaper.
"Look," she pushed the computer towards him.
"Already!?!" Sari's dad said with a look of shock, "Its not possible, not yets, it isn't"
"Huh?" Sari thought she must have just found her Christmas present, "I'm sorry."
"Let me have a look, " her dad pointed to the laptop. He opened it up, and it began to boot up, "one moment, I just have to contact somebody." After a few clicks of the mouse, the sound of the modem dialing up sounded from the computer.
"Okay, nearly here"
"What ARE you doing?" Sari had a confused look on her face.
There was a knock at the door.
"Ah, It's him" Sari's dad rushed to the door, leaving Sari standing there with a look of bewilderment on her face.
A dark figure in a black cloak stood in the Olan house doorway.
"Come in, Mr. Reaper, Sari is waiting for you" the man reached for his hood, and pulled it down. It revealed the skull of the Grim Reaper. Sari knew that she should be scared. She knew she should be checked if this was a dream, but it was as if Sari knew the Grim Reaper had existed.
"HELLO SARI" he greeted in a hollow sort of voice.
"Hello Grandfather" the words escaped out of Sari's mouth with out her thinking. She gazed into his face, memories being bought back to her. She remembered a laptop she used to play on, in a dark room, as a little girl. It was always in the back of her mind. But she never thought twice about it. Death.
"So, my daughter is to be the new Death, eh?" Her dad questioned.
"YES I HAVE FINISHED MY MILENIUM OF WORK. IT IS NOW SARIS JOB" Death explained.
"But it isn't the new millennium. It's 2002, two years late?" Sari searched her memory for more information, but all she had is questions.
"OH, THAT CALENDER IS WRONG. WE COUNT THE MILENUIM SINCE EARTH WAS BORN"
"And do I really have to look like..like death?" Sari questioned.
"YOU WILL IF YOU GET AS OLD AS ME. YOU WILL AGE LIKE A REGULAR MORTAL. ONCE YOUR TIME WILL COME, YOUR BODY WILL DIE BUT YOUR SOUL WILL CONTINUE TO LIVE IN YOUR DEAD BODY, WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY.LOOK LIKE MINE. YOU WILL LOOSE NERVOUS SENSES. YOU WILL CONTINUE TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE, AND ONLY BE DEATH PART TIME THROUGH YOUR MORTAL AGES. OH, AND YOU MUST HAVE ONE CHILD THROUGH YOUR MORTAL TIMES, I HAD TO DO THE SAME, TO PASS THE GRIM GENE ALONG. I AM TECHNICALLY NOT YOUR GRANDFATHER, MORE LIKE YOUR GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, YOU GET THE POINT! ANYWAYS I HAVE KEPT CONTACT WITH THE FAMILIES WITH THE GRIM GENE, AND THE BOTTLE HAS LANDED ON YOU THIS MELENIUM." Death explained as Sari took it all in. Sari took in a deep breath. From now on, her life was to be changed -for ever! Death had to explain to her how to do her job, and her powers.
"THIS IS THE CENTRE OF YOUR POWER" Death picked up the shiny laptop.
"But don't I need that Scythe thingy?" Sari questioned.
"YOUR NEED A COMPUTER TO LOOK AT SOUL.EXE" Death began, "LET ME SHOW YOU" with that, he opened up the laptop. The icons came up on the screen, and Death double clicked on Soul.EXE. The prompt came up.
"HMM, LETS TRY YOUR FRIEND JADE" Death typed in 'Jade071' into the prompt box, "THAT'S HER UNIVERSAL SOUL SERIAL NUMBER," he explained. The picture of Jade flashed up on the screen. There was writing, and links you could click on. Death clicked on one. Jade was sitting at her desk, doing some homework.
"CALL JADE" Death said.
"Huh?"
"CALL HER" So with that, Sari picked up her phone, and dialed her number. She knew it off by heart. Sari watched the computer screen carefully. Jade heard a phone ring, and went to pick up the phone.
"Hello, Jade speaking" Sari watched Jade speak. Her mouth dropped wide open.
"I can SPY on people? Cool!" Sari proclaimed to Death as she excitedly hung up the phone.
"Huh?" Jade looked into the phone puzzled.
"What else can this computer do?" Sari had a small twinkle in her eye.
"A LOT MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE."
