Little Butterfly

Angel of Death came at my door today. Sienna was at a party with friends on a weekend. Her friend Darcey came and brought her a drink. After a sip, she began to feel dizzy and stumble. “Hey, hey Darcey, what's in this drink? I dont feel well.” Darcey smiled. OH, i put something in your drink. You're being kind of a debbie downer right now. I thought it would help.” Sienna got angry and yelled at Darcey. “Why would you do that?! I hate you, Darcey.” “Hey, I'm just trying to lighten Up your mood.” Darcey was that kind of person to always cheer you up. For some reason, in her own way, she thought drugs were the answer to everything. She wasn't always like this though. I blame the crowd that got her into it. Darcey used to be a good person until drugs took over her life and then she got cleaned. Every now and then she'll have a bit of a fall back. Sienna stumbled and fainted. Darcey went over to her side and tried to wake her up, “Sienna, Sienna!! Wake up!! Please don't do this to me! While Darcey was trying to revive her friend, she realized it was too late. Sienna looked at her friend. She felt weird almost like she was having an out of body experience. She could see Darcey crying and panicking. Everyone else was too. What were they crowding around? Sienna went to go check and saw that it was her. But how? She felt her body. I'm right here she thought. Then she saw a figure. A dark cloaked figure in front of her. “Who are you?” she asked. “My name is Adriel. I've come to take you.” “Take me where?” “Your soul is mine. I'm taking you back with me. You're stuck in the in between realm.” The Angel of Death who initially claimed Sienna's soul. Adriel appears cold, efficient, and unwavering in their duty. They are a powerful being, but their purpose seems narrowly defined. There was another random stranger by me. I got scared. “Sorry, Adriel. Not this time.” “Kairos, what are you doing here?” Adriel asked. Kairos gave a coy smile. Sienna was confused by what was taking place. She looked both at Adriel and Kairos at the same. She felt like she was about to pass out again. “Whats going on? I demand for someone to tell me. Now!” “Am i- am i dead?” she asked. Kairos looked at her. There was something about him that she couldn't quite put her finger on. He was handsome enough though. He was tall and enigmatic, with an aura of ancient wisdom and mischief. He had piercing blue eyes that seem to see right into your soul. Dark, wavy, brown hair that falls loosely around his face. She didn't know if he was from this time period though. He looked about mid twenties. His clothes were both timeless and out of place. It seemed like he carried an object with him, she couldn't really tell. Was that a pocket watch? It looked really old. He seems to know more than he lets on, and Sienna is drawn to him. Despite her fear, she feels a sense of curiosity and wonder about this strange new world she has entered. As she explores this realm, Sienna must come to terms with her death and figure out how to move forward in this new and unfamiliar territory. Kairos teleported Sienna out of there and into another realm. It was different much different. “Where are we?” She said looking around in awe. “You my friend are stuck with me for the time being.” She touched the mirror but it showed her her old life. “Is that me? Am i really dead, Kairos?” “Unfortunately for now. Until we can figure out what you've done.” Sienna looked at him in bewilderment. “What I've done?! I didnt do anything! I was murdered!” “Well that's not up to you now is it? We'll have to see what the Gods say if you're guilty or innocent.” Sienna felt as though she wanted to cry out of frustration, but she couldn't. She noticed she didn't have any of her emotions left. She coukd feel some things. Not all of them. Almost as if she was going numb. “Look I dont know what or who you are but I demand you take me back to earth right now!” “No can do,” Kairos said. “Why not?” “Because then you mess with the time line.” “Time line?” "Yes, timeline," he said sarcastically. "Well, sorry my death is an inconvenience to you, damn," Sienna scoffed. "You know I'm beginning to think I know why Adriel chose you." "What do you mean 'chose me?'" "Why do you always ask questions?"Hmm, we'll let's see i don't know. Maybe it's because I'm f*****g dead, Kairos!" she yelled. "You know youre really bitchy," he said as of matter of factly. "Oh, I swear!" "Okay okay, us bickering won't do any good." "No shit." She said sitting down angrily with her arms crossed. "Listen, I don't know why I came to your aid, okay. They just sent me to look after you." Sienna looked at him perplexed. "To look after me?" "Well, since you are dead you're a new soul. And demons are going to want to get to you." "Uh, demons? You're joking right?" Kairos rolled his eyes. "You humans are so cute and naive." "Wait a minuet. You're not human? If you're not human, what are you then?" "Some say angel, time keeper, etc. Whatever you like to call it," he explained. "You're a time keeper? is that why you have a pocket watch?" Sienna asked. "Indeed." "So are you the person in charge of me being on earth?" Kairos looked at her annoyed. "Not per se. The messenger if you will." "So if you're the time keeper can you turn back my clock to take me back to earth again?" she said cheerily. Kairos laughed. "Whats so funny?" she said with her arms crossed and a pouty look on her face. "Unfortunately that's not how this works, girly." "So back to the question..what are you? you never answered me?" she asked. "Humans are very curious creatures aren't they? if you must know I'm a daemon. It's different from a demon. I'm what you call a guiding spirit." "So you're here to protect me then? If that's not the reason then what's in it for you?" Sienna asked. "It depends, really. I haven't thought about it just yet." "So where am I exactly?" "You my friend are in a place called Asophdel Meadows. It's a place where the spirits are muted from emotions." "I'm muted?" she asked confused. "In a way, yes. Until we see what they say what can be done about it." "For how long?" She was very much concerned for she did not if her mother would be worried. She technically wasn't supposed to be out that night. She had snuck out. kairos looked at her concerned. "You'll be alright earthling. Nothing won't happen." Sienna looked at him in almost a bewildered way. "You know you seem pretty decent." "Uh thank you," he said leading the way. "So where am I suppsed to sleep or live for the time being." Kairos laughed. "You are a ghost. Besides, do you remember anything?" "All I know is that I was at a party and then I died " "Tell that to the Fates," he chuckled. "You still haven't told me why I'm here," she siad nervously reaching for her ring. He noticed her fidgeting her ring. "Whats that?" Sienna looked down and smiled. "Oh this. My grandma gave it to me. it's an heirloom. I've had with me ever since I can remember." "May I?" he asked. She took it off and handed it to him. Ch 2. "This is magnificent. Who did you say your grandmother was?" "Uh, I didnt actually." Sienna was starting to get a bit tired from walking. "it'll take about two days to get there." "To where?" "Stop asking questions. That's all you've done since you've been here." Sienna stayed quiet for the rest of the time being. kairos was looking back at her to see if she was okay. "You know it's different here. we don't get usually tired or hungry or anything since it's muted. I have a feeling you might enjoy it though." Sienna looked at him peculiarly. " So can I ask again where we are going?" " A place where you can stay. when we get there you will be guarded by me and two other guards of the main Fate God. Be silent and don't ask any questions." "Does anything bad happen?" "No, we'll be led to one of the chambers there in the palace. when it was finally the second day, Sienna did exactly as she was told. Sienna couldn't help but be in awe. everything was so beautiful and dark and gloomy. Kairos kept looking back at her to signal him to follow. She quickly kept up with him. When they got there apparently Adriel was there. Sienna was stunned to see him. She couldn't help but smile. Adriel looked at her with a bit of.a cold stare. He was talking to some other men.
