Feelings Felt By Death
Death would roam around everywhere to look for the people whose time came to end. With one deadly touch, it would put people to eternal sleep and they never wake up. But whenever it touched them, it would feel their feelings that they had through their entire life. Sad, happy, pain and full of mixed emotions but it never felt them by heart. But this time, it felt those emotions by girl who it could never forget about it.
Death was going from one home to another to look take souls. When his quest was done, he went to the forest where he lives in the dark trees. While he was entering in the forest, he heard a sound behind him. He turned around and saw a little girl standing there. The death asked, “ Who are you? What do you want from me?” The death was asking a lot of questions to the girl. She replied, “ Well, my name is Amara. I was actually following you so that you could take my soul.” The Death was surprised that why would a human wanted her soul to be taken without any reason. “ No, your time hasn’t come yet. Go back where you came from.” But Amara said, “Please, I beg you. I don’t have a home neither a perfect family who doesn’t love me. Please take my soul.” Then it asked, “What is the reason your soul needs to be taken? Give me a reason.” Amara started crying and sat down on the grass. The death came closer to her and asked in a peaceful way. “Dear, tell me what is the matter.” Amara replied, “ My family is not my family the way I used to know. They don’t care for me. I did not had a very good childhood. I tried to be nice to them but they never gave me love. They just only pretended but they never showed their true colours. I never had true friends who I could trust. For this reason, I ran away from my home.” Amara kept crying and crying. Death had no expression and kept staring at her and thought what was she feeling. “I cannot take your soul but you might be able to stay with me for a while at the same time I will look for a perfect family who will take care of you and give love.” Amara agreed with death and followed him where he was going. “ Don’t you sleep?” Death shook its head and told her to sleep.” While she was sleeping, death looked at the moon which was shining brightly along with the stars. “ Did you know when people when die, they become the stars at night.” “Really?” Amara nodded and said goodnight to him. Death looked at the stars and thought about how many he must have taken souls.
In the morning, Amara woke up and saw death was holding some berries and handed to her. “Thank you. Are you usually that nice?” He shrugged and went somewhere else. Amara ate all of the berries and caught up with Death and asked, “What do you usually do? Do you eat? What about having fun?” “The more questions you are going to ask and my answer will be no. I don’t do any of these. The only thing you need know is that when I touch a person who is about to die, I feel their feelings what they have been feeling through their life.” Then Amara asked, “How does it feel? Have you ever felt them by heart?” He stopped and looked at her and said, “No, I never felt them with my heart.,” Amara was kinda surprised and thought why he couldn’t feel it. Suddenly, Amara smiled happily when she saw rabbits jumping around on the grass. She went towards to them and played with them for a while. Death looked a her and thought is this how humans feel happy whenever they see something they love. Amara looked at Death who had no expression. “What are you looking at?” He replied, “Nothing. Is this how you feel when you see something happy?” “Yes, this is how we feel.”
Suddenly, an arrow was shot through Amara’s heart. Death became shocked and saw the person who killed her. A man was holding a bow and an arrow. Death pushed him to the tree and held him by the neck and with its touch it killed him. He then went towards Amara who was bleeding and her hand was on the arrow. “I think it’s my time to die, isn’t it?” Death couldn’t say anything only just nodded. Black tears started to form on its skull face. “Now, what you are feeling, is sadness and pain.” Amara touched his face and wiped the black tears. So, Death hugged her and stroked her hair and started to feel mixed emotions and feelings. It cried even more as it started to feel, how much pain she has received, how much she cried and finally it felt the last feeling which was love. “As you didn’t want me to die and wanted me to live a perfect life. You feel love now. You showed an affection to me. And that’s love. Goodbye for now. If you ever miss me, you can look at the stars.” Then Death smiled at her and said, “Maybe those stars will be part of your family.” “ The way you are thinking about my new family, that’s happiness.” Amara gave a smile and died. So, what Death did, it dug a grave and layed Amara in there. And when it was finally done, it put some flowers on her grave. It cried even more when it remembered those feelings again. At night, it looked at the stars and thought Amara was the star, who was shining brightly as if she was happy with her new family.
Death can be everyone. Even us. When we see a person who is feeling something, we think what is that feeling? When we hug that person, we feel them.
