On a stormy night, thunder strikes; clouds rumble and the clock ticks when suddenly someone's sleep was interrupted who appeared to be a small girl. She felt something was off and then she got off her bed; slowly walking into her mother's room who was fast asleep. She tried to wake her mother up which was a success.

The girl : Mother...

Her Mother : Let me sleep Zoe..

Zoe : But mother..

Her Mother : Go to bed and take Lucy with you if she's not sleeping.

Zoe : Okay..

She went downstairs, it was silent and eerie feeling had engulfed the room. She saw her dog, Lucy sleeping on the floor while a tall figure was standing infront wearing a black cloak. Due to curiosity, she approached the figure and pulled his cloak revealing a skeleton with a scythe.

Zoe : Who are you?

??? : You don't know me girl?

Zoe : Are you the merciless death who everyone hate, the inevitable?

Death : Yes, I am the inevitable death? And who are you?

Zoe : My name is Zoe Manchester! I am pleased to meet you here.

Death : You won't be pleased when you know why I am here.

Zoe : You are here for Lucy, I know that.

Death : Aren't you sad?

Zoe : No, everyone has to die one day or another. Afterall she was sick from days, she needs to be free.

Death : Are you not scared of me sweety?

Zoe : No.

Death : You seem like a different person. Every other I see happens to frighten me.

Zoe : You are not that scary, you actually cute!

Death : Everyone hates me dear.

Zoe : But I don't, you were a human too.

Death : How do you know that I was a human too?

Zoe : Aren't everyone a human before they transform into something else. Do you remember your human name?

Death : I don't, I forgot.

Zoe : Don't worry, one day you will remember. Do you feel lonely?

Death : All of the time.

Zoe : Don't you have anyone?

He shook his head.

Zoe : Mr. Death, why do people hate you?

Death : It's because I am a bitter truth whereas life is a sweet lie, a lie that engulfed the world.

Zoe : That's sad.

Death : Unfortunately... Shall I do my job?

Zoe : Yes.

Death : Thank you Zoe. You have a kind heart.

Zoe : Mr. Death, if you feel that lonely then I shall become the life! The sweet lie that everyone love. Me, the sweet lie and you, the bitter truth will balance this world!

Death : It's a very hard job, are you sure you will able to do it?

Zoe : I bet! Deal?

Death : Deal.

Zoe : Mr. Death, will you come to meet me each time you take someone's life?

Death : I would love to!

Zoe : Okay! Bye, I will see you later.

Death : Bye Zoe, See you later.

??? : And that's how we met! He kept his promise and made a lot of visits. I love that guy.

A ethereal girl said to a young boy whose life would be taken away by the Death.

??? : Are you ready little one?

He nodded.

??? : Ready Death?

Death : Yes my dear life.

And he kissed her softly.
