Lisa stared at the human before her, eyes wide and her thoughts racing in a million directions at once. What was he talking about? Had he seen her when she had come for his soul? But that wasn’t possible, mortals couldn’t see reapers when they were invisible…but then again, mortals didn’t spontaneously regenerate new flesh when wounded. What if whatever had enabled him to heal those fatal wounds had also given him the ability to see her even when cloaked in darkness? Should I call Zadkiel, or maybe I can grab him and fly him to the sanctuary. What if he has told others about me… or maybe this is a trap they have set out for me…Lisa was so absorbed in her inner paranoia and questions that she didn’t notice that Natasha had entered the room until the girl spoke right next to her.“Oh cut it out Lucas, you promised you wouldn’t prank her,” Natasha scowled.The latter just laughed, his dark eyes lighting up.“Come on Tasha, look at her face and tell me it’s not funny.”“Pra... Prank?” Li
A week later Lisa sat in front of the dresser in her bedroom, with her best friend standing behind her.“Stop squirming,” Pix said, running a comb through Lisa’s long hair.“Is this really necessary? I know some of them that don’t put on makeup,” Lisa complained.“You are going to be an assistant to a CEO, there are expectations of how you must look you know,” Pix answered, moving to dab some powder onto Lisa’s cheeks.“You know so much about them, you should go instead of me,” Lisa grumbled, pouting.“You know just as much as me sweetheart, you have the lives of millions of prerogatives to draw from, plus your boss would never allow it,” Pix countered with a smile.“I know, but I never really pay attention when I’m on the job. This sucks Pix,” Lisa groaned.Pix placed her hand on Lisa’s shoulder and squeezed gently.“You will be okay Liss.”Lisa put her hand on top of Pix’s and smiled, grateful for her friend’s presence. The two had been inseparable ever since they had woken up toget
I am coming.That’s what her boss had told her after she had informed him that there was a problem with the prerogative. Since reapers could communicate telepathically, they seldom ever met face to face. In all her 7 years on the job, Lisa had only ever seen Zadkiel twice and that had been for less than a minute in both instances. Now he was coming, the thought made her shudder with trepidation.It was rare for there to be any problems with prerogatives, and even in the event that there were, reapers were equipped to deal with them on their own. In the rare cases that problems occurred; it was usually just some soul refusing to move on and deciding to haunt the living. Those cases were called Spector protocols and more often than not, the reapers would just let the soul become ghosts.There was no protocol for what Lisa had just seen. She had never heard of anything like that happening in all her time as a reaper. Humans were born, they lived and they died, the end. That was the iron
Lisa stood on the precipice of the skyscraper, her boot-clad feet teetering right on the edge. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and jumped. The wind whooshed past her as she shot towards the asphalt below like a bullet, her hair flying all over. A smile spread over her face as she picked up speed, intensifying into a full-blown grin the closer she got to the ground. She opened her eyes and let out a scream of joy, her rapid descent reflected in the glass walls of the skyscraper. She felt alive, like an eagle looking imperiously at the flightless creatures below her.The ground got closer and closer but the falling young woman only screamed louder, the sound drowned by the rush of the air against her ears. She reoriented herself so that she faced straight down like she was about to take a dive into the tarred road below. With only a few meters between her and the ground, Lisa unfurled her majestic black wings and made a sharp curve so that her fall turned into speedy flight, pa
