《Angel of Death》Chapter 1

(Prionsa POV)

It's halloween! I can finally wear this costume I've been working on for so long : The Shinigami Ryuk in the Manga Death Note! I take of fmy formal clothing that I have to wear at my job and put on my cosplay. After an hour of getting dressed and putting on makeup, I'm ready to go. There is this ''costume party'' at the skatepark where all the people that like to talk about death go. We gather together on halloween to talk about this taboo subject in peace without the fear of being judged.

When I get there, I can see that there is already lots of people, all dressed up in a way death is pictured. There is some other Shinigami, some more 'classic' death, with the black clothing and the enormous scythe. Some are dressed in mythological gods like Thanatos, Hades, Osiris, Anubis and a lot more.

I walk in and people greet me warmly and tell me how amazing my costume is. I talk with random people and then I see a guy sitting alone at the top of a half-pipe. He has two horns on the top of his forehead that are partially hidden by his red hair. His eyes are red and his iris are yellow with a hint of orange. He wears a purple shirt under a black hoodie, a skeleton mask is loosely hanging on his chest and he has the two most adorable fangs I have ever seen in my life. He is really good looking and I can't help to think that I have to talk to him. So here I am, running toward the quarter-pipe. I grab the edge and push myself up and sit beside the stranger. I look at him and say while imitating Ryuk's voice ''Humans are so interesting!~''

The other man smile and say in a whisper ''That is exaclty what I was thinking...''

''Nice costume! But I can't really see what character that is...''

''Oh, that is because it's my own... Way of picturing an Angel of Death... Like... How they would look if they were... real?''

''That's cool and really unique! I like it! And you will have to teach me how you managed to stick those horns to your forehead! Mine never stay in place!''

''O...okay...''

God, Do I love shy guys! And he has some freckles under his eyes! I pull out my hand for a handshake ''I completly forgot to introduce myself, I'm Prionsa Crimson!''

He nervously shake my hand back ''I'm Gl... Glenn... My name is...Glenn...''

''Well nice to meet you, Glenn!''

I can see how stiff he became right after I said my name... It's a little odd but maybe he is really that shy. We keep talking for a while until someone, somehow, push my legs up and I find myself falling backward. My eyes goes wide as I feel myself falling to the ground. The last thing I remember is Glenn reaching his hands in my direction and then everything goes dark...

I groan as I feel this throbbing pain in my skull. I can feel someone gently shaking my arms and calling my name. I open one eye slightly and I see Glenn above me ''Hey, you hurt your head in your fall, are you okay?''

''I think so yeah...''

Someone walk behind the half-pipe and kneel beside me ''Hey Pri, are you okay?''

''He fell on his head, I think it would be safe to bring him to the hospital.''

''Oh, yeah of course, I can drive him there. Can you stand buddy?''

I stumble a little, but I get on my feet and my friend bring me to the hospital. Before leaving I turn around to thank Glenn of taking care of me but, he is gone. Weird, how did he manage to walk away that quickly?

(''Glenn'' POV)

It's halloween and I can finally walk around in the human world without looking suspicious with my horns and red eyes. You see, I'm an Angelof Death, so even if I look a lot like a human, I have few things that are not human at all, but I still manage to blend in, most of the time by wear my mask that helps me camouflage myself.

I'm not the only Angel of Death, in fact, there is a lot of us around the world and we are helping living creatures like humans to find their way to the afterlife once they pass away.

So here I am, walking around the livings, looking one last time in my mask to make sure I have the right location. Tonight I will have to bring a soul to the afterworld... But everyone is wearing masks and costumes, so I can't really tell who is that person. I look around and decide to go sit on the top of some ramp that humans use to make figures on some kind of plank with wheels under it. There is no one sitting there so it will ease my social anxiety a bit... I look around again and see so many representation of Death... Funny how to see all of those are wrong. But humans really enjoy trying to figure this thing out, for some reason...

A guy with a really well made costume then jumps out of nowhere and sits next to me ''Humans are so interesting!~''

I smile and say in a whisper ''That is exaclty what I was thinking...''

Even with all this make up on, I can see how attractive this human is. Why do I have to always fall for humans!? Why can't I settle down for another demon like everyone else? He stops me from spiralling when he tells me his name and I freeze up in shock. He is the one... The human that will die tonight and that I have to show the way to the afterlife... Why him!? I try to focus on the conversation we have, but I'm getting really nervous since I know something is about to happen. And then it happen, someone push him over the edge and he fall backward and hit his head real hard on the ground. I jump beside him and watch... He is not dead yet... And no one is around to help him... Or see what I will do... No I can't do this. I am not suppose to intervene in other people's life... or death... But, he is so nice and... I grip my hair with both my hands and let out a smill groan. Why do I feel like I have to help... That I must do something for him? This is something I never really understood about myself, I'm the only Angel of Death that I know that feels bad when human dies... And tonight, the feeling is even worst!

I look around one last time and I reach my decision. This handsome man is not dying tonight! I put my hand on his head and let the magic and life flow through me. I can hear him whimper and I gently shake him.

When I see that he is safe with another human and that he will be brought to the hospital, I quickly stand back up and snap my finger to teleport myself back in my room.
