• Chapter ~Five~ Receding Guilt.

    We sat in silence for seemingly hours on end until finally, footsteps broke the unearthly silence. The wandering footsteps cautiously approached our door, following by the Bang! of it swinging open and hitting the wall. I sank into the corner of the room and waited for the unkown figure to enter. It was that woman who was talking to Demitri... "I heard your snack wants to be a Reaper...?", she looked around the room 'till her eyes locked on me. I was sick of hiding so I got to my feet slowly, and said ''Yes, please.", defiantly rejecting Demitri's pleas to keep my mouth shut, and he stared at me as though I was eating this woman's flesh. I moved my eyes between the two of them, overly cautious of the woman. "We can arrange that...I'm sure Rory wouldn't mind...
    How about now, Snack?" I looked at her only just gripping her words, until she said, "Well, regardless of what you desire I suppose it has to be now...", she said, frowning. She gave out an eforted grunt, Demetri ran over to me, and he screamed. Before I even knew it, she'd gotten me.
    When I woke up, I looked around. Nothing but a bare white room. Then, I heard someone speak to me in a hushed voice, "You are now apart of the Reaper section 'O', under the circumstances of your willingness into Death's arms. You are now under the law of Reapers, not man. Your new name is "Mirror". Welcome to the Game."
    I felt myself being forced out of the room, and into a place I have never known. I saw faces, deep penatrating detail made me glance at the scene in awe, my human eyes were so unseeing. Then, when I decided I had tired out this new awe, I noticed I was looking at a picture. When I focused my eyes on the picture, it took me a moment to rid myself of the looming thought of familiarity. There was a clock in the backround, '11:01'. Wait a minute...
    People in the picture started moving again, and I remebered everything I'd found in the backpack only a couple days ago. I saw the same three teenagers I had that night, but what where they doing here? I looked around more and noticed the white sign with red letters reading, "WE ARE ALIVE".
    I looked at the kids and back again, but when I started to walk toward one of them, the scene started moving.I stared at everything, would they notice me...?
    The answer was No. Of course not, Reapers could reveal themselves at will, but this was an event of the past, as I'd already owned the photo. My mind flashed back to the family I'd left behind. I didn't notice the kids until one was looking right at me, but not seeing me. It was the black-haired unhappy kid.
    I was too agrivated with myself for leaving my family to care about him, until I heard the girl who had a striking resemblence to him said, "Hey! Demetri, help me get some drinks out here, would you?" I stared at him, horrorstruck. "Yeah, whatever. As long as it isn't more of that nasty Kool-Aid. The happy kid chuckled.
    What the Hell is happening? Shouldn't I be at that old shack with the modern Demitri? Looking for an exit, I heard someone say, "Well, if thats what you want..."
    And there I was.The shack,the woman,Demetri.
