Darkly and Eternally Yours

Bittersweet Moment

I felt hot and sweaty as I opened my eyes. It was dark, just like it was previously. Only a fire place was there, the fire being the only source of light. I sat up, realizing I was on a makeshift bed. Suddenly, I heard a voice from behind me "What is wrong with you?" The voice was deep. He was using his 'death' voice. I smiled in spite of the situation.

I turned to look at him, he was wearing his dark cloak that concealed his beautiful face. He looked like death, he continued angrily, "I thought I told you to get lost! You can't keep dying just so you can meet me. We are over! You hear me?" he shouted.

I stared at him, knowing perfectly well that he was observing me through the cloak. "I'm sorry" I replied. We both knew I was apologizing just for the sake of the situation. "You can't keep doing this" he said his voice switching to his original smooth voice. "I can't keep doing this" he continued walking towards me.

It crushed my heart to hear the sadness in his voice. "You can't give away people's lives, it's a sin and you know that.'

"Maybe God will turn me into Lady Reaper as a punishment." I replied smiling bitterly.

"Kiara, God doesn't punish by giving you what you want the most, he will give you what you fear and loathe the most. I don't want that to happen to you because of me, I won't be able to bear that." he said, hurt evident in his voice.

"Will you stop talking and let me look at you?" I asked, desperate to see him. He nodded, and I walked forward and took the hood off, revealing his face. His messy brown hair scattered in all directions, his grey eyes, haunted but beautiful, his sharp toned features, if only people knew the beauty underneath the reaper's cloak.

I touched his hair, following a trail i made up in my mind, down his neck, cheeks, "I missed you," I said simply. He pulled me into a firm hug, arms around my waist,my senses engulfed in him. I buried my face in the crook of his neck, wrapping my arms around his shoulders, inhaling his scent. His scent was indescribable, it was just him. We hugged each other as long as we could , who knew if we would ever have the chance again.

He pulled back, tracing my face, memorizing, he always had a way of making me feel beautiful. I stood on my tip toes to reach his face, to finally capture his lips. He lifted me up a little so I could reach his tall frame and finally I tasted his lips. They moved urgently with mine. It was a sweet, fragile but desperate kiss. He crouched lower and I pushed myself further I could never have enough. He placed a final kiss on my lips before pulling away a little, "We have to stop Kiara, please, don't make it any harder than it already is." He begged me with his eyes, I wanted to cry, I felt overwhelmed as I pulled myself away completely. I knew he was right, but I couldn't leave him.

He moved closer to me , grabbing my arms and pulled me closer. He stared at me for a while, placing a kiss on top of my head and moved away. "I can't keep you here, and you can't keep doing this. If you wish to see me, you shall see me on the day that you are destined to die." His voice turning cold.

"And what that's it? I die and my soul is passed to God and that's the end of it?" I asked exasperated.

"Yes, that is the end of it, we are not going to be a 'we' anymore, You and I have nothing." He said, turning away from me.

I wanted to cry, to scream, to tell him that no I wasn't leaving him, that I was too deep in to let go of everything, but deep down I knew he was right, we weren't meant to be. It was impossible.

"I can't stop the time any longer. I have work to do, you have to return." he turned around offering me a sad smile, "You just need to know that I love you and I always will. Take care of yourself for me, you know you can't return here so don't even try, He is watching you all the time. I love you." he said.

Before I knew it, I was swirling, everything went dark. I opened my eyes, to find myself in my car, Beethoven still playing, at the backyard of the Frat house with the monster trucks.

Everything was the same, except for the couple and their truck. They were gone, I had killed them. I couldn't hold it in anymore, I burst into tears, bawling my eyes out. My chest hurt, my throat hurt, Everything hurt. Why did this happen to me?

How could I fall in love with Death, the Reaper ?
