Prologue

Mar: The tragedies of it all.

Tab: Yes, I’m always first!

Rio: See! There’s Mar again!

Ele: Why does Tab get to have her story written first?

Nic: Wait, Mar’s gone.

Rio: Dang!

Mar: Enjoy!

Rio: OMG!

I remember when I died; it was like it happened yesterday. It happened so suddenly, I remember the name of the restaurant behind me as I tried to cross the street to get away from Jon. I remember the type of car that hit me, a Ford Focus. I remember the date and the time; I remember the time because I could see it on the clock tower as I crossed the street towards the park. The only thing I don’t remember is what happened the day before that made me be angry at Jon. I died October 11th 5:35 p.m. across the street from Daniel’s Hotdogs. Not the best place in the world to die.

I can tell you what happened, I can tell you how I died, but I don’t remember much anymore. Time has passed by and I have some much more memories that have been burned into history. I will not tell you what happened to me. I can not live through what happened twice. Life is endless, especially for mine, even when I died.

I remember when I arrived to heaven and received my job as the Angel of Death. I remember the sound of the splattering blood as my dark black wings came out of my back. I remember the sound of Lucifer’s laughter as he watched me suffer. I remember the pain of the bones of the wings trying to come out from under my skin. I remember the screams that came from my mouth as I felt that pain. I remember the warm touch from God as he touched my back and made the wings come. The only thing I don’t remember is why; I don’t remember why God gave me such a curse. I can not tell you about that, no one anywhere can live that twice. I will not tell you anything. Instead, you shall live through it; you shall experience everything like I felt.

Instead, you will feel my curse, my betrayal and my anger. I will take you back in time to the place where I died and to the times where I hunted down Lucifer to kill him. I shall kiss you on the top of your head and pat your back twice at different places.

You feel something against the top of your head and can feel the warmth of lips as she kisses you, you feel the light thump of her hand against your back, hitting both shoulder blades. Suddenly pain comes to the spots where she patted you; you can feel something ripping on your back. Your hand creeps behind you to feel it and you feel a small hole with a small stub sticking out of your back. You scream as you realize the blood oozing from the hole. Your wings burst out with glory, blood that clung to the feathers flying as they opened up. You clutch your back in pain with your eyes sealed shut. You’re panting, your eyes still closed as you feel her hand rest on your shoulder, and you feel her breath against your ear. “Welcome, Angel of Time.” Your eyes open in amazement and time rewinds. Your eyes spin like a clock, you have no iris, and all that remains are pupils of a light blue color. The environment around you spins and suddenly starts to change into a quiet gymnasium in a high school.

You are surprised and look at your hands to see if you’re still alive, but are amazed to not be able to even see your hands! You think of panicking but instead take a large breathe and look around you. So this was the day, you can recall in your memory some how the date it is right now and how you got here, October 10 1:15 p.m., and so you are here.

Rio: My back hurts.

Tab: Lol.

Nic: Poor Rio.

Ele: Get one with it Mar!

Mar: Yes, yes.
