A/N: Fanfic on the Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Just like the Book Thief, it is written in the perspective of Death. Please read and review. If you have not read the book, it could be very confusing and there will most likely be spoilers in the next chapters.
Twisting Turn
Chapter 1: Unrequited Love turns Requited
The sky was that deep, dark chocolate color that I always loved to see. A bomb had hit, and Liesel, nearby, walking with Rudy, could feel the ground shake, her face filling with worry. Every inch of what was a part of Munich, had shaken. The loud booms of the bombs hitting the close by area was heard throughout the Munich.
A street nearby Himmel had been bombed, I got ready to do my job and collect the souls in those lifeless bodies, and Liesel and Rudy ran quickly to their homes to hide in the basement before anything happened.
Liesel when parting from Rudy, said farewell to her dear friend and continued running for home. Rudy stopped her, a dark and afraid look in his eye, and did what she had expected. "Do I get my kiss now?" he asked typically and smiling. Liesel only stared but made no movement of approach to kiss him and no answer. Rudy in turn stared straight back at her, shrugged his shoulders and came forward and kissed her.
Liesel made no sound or movement of protest, only movement of her lips working on his, as his worked on hers. Liesel of course was just finding these feelings for Rudy just now, for Rudy always had them, but never Liesel.
Though Liesel had never known that I had been captivated by her story and stocked her day and night, while I was not working, I felt that I should give them a bit of privacy. I went to collect the souls that were lingering to life, suffering, because Liesel was keeping my attention. But as I left the scene of Himmel Street and the girl and her best friend interlocked in a kiss that almost would have never been, I took one last glance at the two.
They had parted and were smiling at each other now. Liesel embraced the boy with hair the color of lemons and ran home, Rudy watching her, loving her more than ever, now that he knew that his love was returned.
I moved swiftly to the front steps of the Hubermanns home. Liesel reached there and stood on front of the door glancing back to Rudy.
The happenings of young love always amaze me so especially when they begin unrequited, and grow to eventually be requited as in this story.
I left now, those lives were clinging longer than needed. I reached the nearby street where bombs still hit, quickly one after the other. All hitting away from where I stood, I could not be killed, it was impossible.
