The Fox and The Princess Part 1

2021-01-21 21:09:06Chapter 5
“I am Saint and I'm here to hunt you down, but then because I am sure that you can't get off to that body. Death ministry assigns you to be a living reaper, no buts or anything you suicidal. You want your death, right? So then, accept our offer. For you to die peacefully, Mary Sean Ivanovich. Did I answer your question?” With what he said, I gradually loosened my grip on the bedsheet until I finally let go.
At that point, I suddenly remembered the children's book I had just read last night. It was entitled, The Fox and the Princess.
“W-what are you saying? You're a Grim Reaper, aren't you? If you want to take me, take me now too. Don't prolong it! I don't want to live anymore and why am I here in this body? I'm dead, right? Mary Sean Ivanovich is supposed to be dead! I'm not Hailey Perelman. This is not me! It's not my body!” I hysterically uttered. It seems that when this Grim Reaper said what he said earlier, I dared to scold him.
I understand what he said but who is a common-sense would accept every word he uttered? Somehow I was still sane.
Once upon a time, there was a Princess who runs away to their Kingdom.
“Looks like you still don't understand me. Then I'll translate for—” I didn't make him finished what he was about to say. My hand hit the tray containing the food I had eaten earlier and I immediately threw it at him in a rage. But nothing seemed to happen because it just penetrated him.
I knew by that sooner or later I will surely go crazy with what is happening now.
“Listen, I understand what you said, I'm not stupid! It's just that I'm still sane and you see, I am human. You come here and then you tell me you're here to pick me up, but what? You knew I'm stuck in this body so your death organization order you to offer me to be a living reaper of dead souls, for what? For me to die as I want? But, I am dead right? Why did am I alive again? You knew I committed suicide! You knew I'm dead. But why am I in this treacherous body? Aren't you a Grim Reaper? Make a way for me to get out of this body!” At this point, I thought I will go crazy. It was as if all the wonder I had harboured in the past few days had exploded. All my depression and thoughts that I could not control completely.
Upon running away, the Princess got lost in the forest with no one to help her. The Princess was scared but no other choice other than to stay under a big branch of a tree.
But he just kept looking at me with no expression as if I was just talking nonsense. “Are you done? You're being too loud.” I stumbled upon what he said.
What the hell with him? What an antipathetic bad spirit!
I would have spoken when he spoke again. “You died and rose again. You should not have died but you led death. They have not been able to accept you because that is not possible. You're not patient so you have done nothing but merge with others. You possess that body. The problem was when it's time to pick you up. I can't find a way to get rid of you. It's your fault Guardian Of Soul. So now, they give you a chance. You have to serve them for you to die. You can do nothing, other than to accept the offer. “ He explained.
Wait for what? G-guardian of Soul? Who? Me?
“G-guardian of Soul?” But instead of answering, he just looked at me. “What are you saying?” I asked.
This is so frustrating.
But when a sudden fox appears out of nowhere and gave the princess help. Without hesitation the Princess accepted it.
“I'm not here to explain it to you. I'm here to know what will be your answer? You accept it, then it's a deal. If you refuse to do it then live forever and be immortal. You can't die, just live your lonely life with a different body and identity.” He said that while seemed very bored to talk to me. I couldn't even catch up about what he said.
A while ago he was talking about Guardian of Soul and now being immortal? That was insane!
At that point, I closed my eyes and when I open up again I immediately ask him. “W-what if I agree? Will you answer my questions?” It was only then when I saw his sudden grin.
“Maybe yes … Maybe no.” I close my eyes in frustration.
The fox offers his house for the princess to stay for a while. And the princess agrees not knowing what the fox is currently thinking.
Cunning, he was just like the Fox in the children story I read. I tried to calm myself down with the things that were going on but I could not stop it.
What now? Damn! Think Mary!
I took a deep breath.
If I accept the offer I am sure I will witness various human deaths.
But if not? My life is back to normal. Though, like what the Grim Reaper said I will just use different bodies. I will never die. I will never see my father again and will live forever. However, there is no guarantee that I will see my father when I die. But if I die I will end my great difficulty in seeing the death of some and somehow there is a possibility that I will see him again.
That is the most important thing.

Chapter 10I did not expect the grim reaper who was with me to take me back to Sitio Kalamazoo where a fiesta is currently taking place. With the flags I could just see on each side of the highway and the happy people going from house to house preparing, I could not help but feel sad. This was the fiesta Dad had been waiting for, so he bought a horse. If only all this did not happen then it was not the grim reaper who was with me but Dad.Yet, I still can’t help but close my eyes every time I see shadows of death in the various people our vehicle passes by.“What are we doing here?” I asked. Wondering why all the place in Plamour City,we went here.“Later, there will be a horse race held here. I want to watch.” He said coldly. There was when my forehead furrowed.“You what?

Chapter 11“Why do you seem so hungry?” he just twisted his head again while biting the burger. Chewed and swallowed it before speaking.“I don't eat every time. I just eat once a day. But this body is just so greedy. We grim reapers don't eat. I just allowed this body to eat once a day but it looks like he abused it.” There I laughed. Although he said it seriously.Why is that he looks cute for me? Even I do not know. I just thanked him and he ignored my laughter. He looks starving so instead of arguing with me, he just ate. I was full so I watched him.“What do you call this potato?” he suddenly a

Death ContractThey say that reincarnation may be true because no one in the world can tell what there is in the afterlife. Nor can anyone prove that fictional things are not true. So I, I believe that in this world we have things we don't know but it's better that we just don't know."I'll borrow this book," I uttered while reaching the book to the Librarian. The book is entitled Death Contract. When I read its description earlier the book already caught my attention. So I took it."You're just reading novels again, how old are you? What course are you in? You should be studying!" I couldn't help but wince when the librarian reprimanded me. Yet I laughed and scratched my head before I answered."Ma'am Rita, my course is journalism. Let me go, my brain is sharpened when I read." I explain. Something that made the librarian shook her head and laughed at later."You're not gettin
Death Contract Epilogue
EpilogueIn every story, I read there are two endings. It's either happy or sad. Half of my life was revolving around thinking how a fairy tales book, novel, short story or parable would end. But this time I was thinking about how would my story end. Is it true there is a happy ending? Is it true that everything has an ending? Or is dead the end of everyone? Because while thinking deeply my story started when I died. So if death is the ending of everyone, it seems very impossible. Yet in life, I know everyone has a role to play before they passed away and that thing God has shown me that many times in different ways."Class dismissed!" I quickly stood up when I heard that word from our last professor today. I quickly put my things in the bag before standing up to leave. But Stephen suddenly approached me."Hey!" he greeted me still hesitant. Yet to get rid of his hesitation I smiled back at him.

But that's when I noticed a wet towel placed on my head. My breathing was also weird and it was a bit chilly which made me feel bad. That's when I realized something. Looks like I had a fever.I sighed again.I planned to get up first to go out but that plan of mine stopped when I saw Saint standing at the foot of the bed and just watching me there. When our eyes lock I couldn't help but hold my breath. The last thing I remember is his crying face. Now, he is back to normal, his face has no expression again. It was so cold that it didn't seem to be able

Chapter 59But my step across the bridge stopped when Saint began to speak."I didn't kill your mother." That word is all I hear from him but my blood is now boiling. I forced a deep breath to suppress the anger ruling in my chest. I want to think first of everything I will do in front of him now. I wish I knew how to answer him gently and not get angry with him again or slap him. "Listen to me, I didn't kill your mother Mary." But it seems that he intends to drain my patience today. "Again, I didn't kill Eve, Mary. I-It was a fated death." But after I heard what he said today, it seemed like all my restraint of anger ended in nothing. I quickly turned back to him and slapped him hard. A slap I know he will never forget."Saint, do you think you can still fool me? I know everything, my two eyes saw! You killed my mother. You killed her! You killed her! You killed her!" I couldn't stop punching and scolding hi

Chapter 58After that conversation, I instructed driver Arjo to visit the Perelman family's former home. And he was right, it was just a few corners away from our house. No wonder it looks like Hailey and I met before. Maybe I was too young then so I can't remember or maybe it's part of my forgotten memories.Driver Arjo told me many more stories as we toured the old house. I can't help but compare the mansion of the Perelman's to this place. It seems like they just had a simple life back then. A simple little house, simple door, no stairs, no second floor and a clean house. I also noticed that there was a garden in the backyard, but it was abandoned now though it still looks like being cleaned so no moss can be seen, unlike my previous house to my previous life.Driver Arjo said Mary and I often chase in the backyard. So that's where I chose to go after touring the house. I can't understand the feeling but t
