Death's Castle
Ch.10
Nothing. Nothing at all…no darkness, no light, no sound, no sight…nothing. It was there without being there at all. Sam couldn't even see herself. The only thing that let Sam know that she existed was that she could think, and think she did in abundance.
'Where am I? And what was up with Danny?' She pondered these and other questions like them. Soon enough, other questions and thoughts paraded through her mind. She was starting to become hysterical.
'What's going on?' She yelled in her head. She wanted to cry, but if she could, she wouldn't be able to feel it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Was that necessary?" the Reaper asked him.
"Yes," Death answered, still shrouded in darkness, "She was a threat to my plan the fact that she could materialize like that after only a few seconds out of her body indicates power. I will either bend her to my will, or destroy her." He paused, "The last one who gained control so quickly was you."

After a few minuets resting her eyes, the nurse picked the book back up and started flipping through it again. This time, a different title caught her eye.
Souls
A soul is the term used to define what resides in the living human body. It is the first stage of power for the dead. It makes a person who they are and animates the body. When a soul is taken out of the body, its natural form is a ball of light, too bright to be seen easily by the living eye. See following entries for the progression of levels for the dead.
Something tugged in the nurse's mind, urging her to think.
'Something seems so familiar about that passage…'
She put that thought in the back of her mind and to the next yellowed page.
Spirits
Spirits are the next level of the dead. When a soul gets enough energy, it can transform itself into a more stable shape. This form is almost like a vapor. The stronger the spirit, the more defined the vapor becomes. Spirits are hardier than souls and suffer less risk of being destroyed. See the following entry for the last stage.
That feeling was still there, but she pushed it away.
'That was interesting…' She turned the page.
Ghosts
The Ghost is the last form of the dead. When a Spirit gets enough energy, it transforms into a Ghost. Some Souls have completely skipped the Spirit stage to go directly into Ghost form, although it is extremely rare. A Ghost assumes the appearance it had when it had lived. They are also the hardest to destroy. Ghosts are able to acquire various powers and are able to visit the mortal realm by going through a portal. Elite Ghosts like the Grim Reaper, Death, Life, Fate, and Time; can actually create temporary portals.
Wheels started turning in the nurse's mind, and pieces of the puzzle started to fall into place. She gasped loudly, shooting straight up in her chair almost loosing her book, and widened her eyes.
'I get it now! That flash of light was Sam's soul! That was the Grim Reaper! That's why Sam is in a coma!' Her enlightened expression turned confused, 'Then why isn't her body dead?' A thought stuck her, 'What if he just stole her soul for some sinister purpose?' She became determined, 'If that's the case, then someone needs to save her!'
With a strange glint in her eyes, she skimmed through the book once more; but this time, she was looking for something else.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point, Sam had calmed down. Although it was creepy, she had determined that this nothingness couldn't hurt her, and getting freaked out wouldn't help at all. Besides, she needed to stay sane so that she could interrogate the next person she saw…if she ever got out of there.
She started to feel something, which surprised her to no end. But it wasn't a one of the five senses feeling, it was more like something of her was shifting. It was the weirdest thing she had ever felt. Then she saw something. It was a rip, like a tear though a rough fabric. It widened and a familiar head poked through. A little light streamed through the opening and hit her. Suddenly, she could be again. She could see, feel, hear, smell…she never noticed before that the air here had a taste. It was almost too much after sensing nothing for so long.
"Danny!" She cried out happily when she figured out how to speak again…At least, she tried to. It came out more like a squeak.
"Come on, hurry," He urged quietly, holding out his hand. He was speaking normally again. "And be quiet." He added.
She eagerly took his hand and leapt up out of the nothingness. She was filled to bursting with questions to ask him, but he had said to be quiet, so she would ask questions later. But she did need answers, and she was going to get them sooner or later. Hopefully sooner.

Hmmm…what's going on? I bet you wonder…
Good? Bad? Somewhere in between? This was more of an explanation chapter than anything…
Hint: Just to let all of you know, the nurse (whom I still haven't named) is going to play a decently large part in this little drama, you'll see. It's not just filler. I have plans…
Please Review! It brightens my day and lightens the heart!
