FALL

"Let's get out of here" He said to Anna while he's trying to get away with the reaper that shows behind Anna.

Upon looking behind while they are still running away, Azrael noticed that the reaper is already gone.

Anna asked him why he suddenly grabs her arm and run away.

He just said to her that he saw something strange and she cannot understand it even if he explained it to her.

Then Anna look at the place where they stopped and she saw a bridge and told Azrael to stop running.

She went through that bridge and look at the river.

The water is sparkling because of the replication of the stars above through the water.

Azrael also look the bridge and seriously asked Anna a question.

"Tell me, did you do bad things before?"

Anna: "Why did you asked?"

Azrael: "Because to be honest with you, I can determine if a certain people is good or bad."

Anna: "If what you are saying is true, then can you tell me if I am good or bad?"

Azrael: "You are a good person! But it seems that you were hiding something."

Anna: "How can you say that I'm hiding something?"

Azrael: "I can't explain. I can just feel them."

Azrael felt the same energy that he felt before while talking with Anna.

In her shadows, a creature is slowly coming out and it turns out to be a reaper that's been following them since they were inside the cafe.

Azrael grabs Anna from her shoulders and told her to hide behind his back.

But only Azrael can see the reaper and Anna was wondering why Azrael is acting strange.

The reaper stops for a bit and looked at Azrael then speak.

"Master, this is my task that you gave me. I'm just following your command." Said the reaper.

"How did I give you this task? Can you explain to me?" Azrael replied and thinking about the command that the reaper said.

The reaper reaches his arm and an hourgla.s.s appeared on his hands.

The hour gla.s.s have a cross at the bottom and the sand is almost full.

Only few remaining sands are still at the top and maybe just

"When each human is born, an hourgla.s.s appears with a Death. While each hourgla.s.s looked the same, the amount of sand inside them was not. The amount of sand signaled the lifespan of the owner. When the sand stops flowing, Death is summoned. The hourgla.s.s disappears once Death finishes its job." Said the Reaper

Azrael: "Hourgla.s.s? But she's still too young. And her life is not in danger why are you here and why is that Hourgla.s.s is already over?"

"Because there is a rule. If a human commits a sin, the speed of this hourgla.s.s is increase by that moment that they committed a sin. And since every human's are sinners most of the time the speed of their Hourgla.s.s is increased. And for this woman, her sin is rapidly increasing everyday that's why I'm here to collect her soul as a consequence for her act."

Azrael still cannot believe about everything that the reaper said to him and the fact that Anna is a sinner, He was curious about what kind of sin did she do to make her lifespan becomes shorter.

Azrael: "Anna tell me, what did you do over these past few days did you commit any sin?"

Anna: "I didn't do anything! And why are you acting like that? Why are you talking to yourself?"

Anna cannot see the reaper in front of her and the tone of her voice is changing. She's starting to freak out thinking that her Azrael might know her secret.

Azrael: "Hey Anna calm down. I'm just asking you a question."

Anna opened her bag and there is a gun inside. She pointed it at Azrael and started shouting.

"What do you know huh?! Tell me! Or I'm your head will be blown by this gun!"

"Anna what happened? Why are you freaking out like that? I'm just asking you a question" Azrael said while telling Anna to calm down.

"Master, she is already out of her time. That's why her actions are also changing. Most of the time when humans are already on the brink of death, their true selves are showing."

Azrael: "Can you please tell me what kind of sin did she make?"

"It is prohibited. But since you are the one who created this, then I'll tell you Master"

The reaper explained to Azrael what is the sin that Anna did that makes her lifespan becomes shorter and what is the reason for her hourgla.s.s to have a rapid increase of speed.

Anna is a girl who target's man.

She likes inviting man to go with her. At first you will think that she is an innocent woman who just wanted to have a companion or someone who wants to help people. But her true ident.i.ty is a killer. She kills every man that she goes out with and added to her collection. Just like what she is going to do with you master.

But unfortunately, she is already out of time and the amount her sin is too much. And in addition, the reason why she becomes like this is also because of man that she encountered when she was still little.

They did terrible things to her. Tortured her, raped her and her father was included with the man who did that to her.

And the first man that she killed was her father.

As you can see Master, Humans are very dangerous they are much worse than monsters and they can do terrible things even without the influence of demons.

That is why you created this Hourgla.s.s that includes Death and gave us command to watch over the sinners and take their souls once their time comes.

After all what Azrael heard from the reaper, he's face becomes sad and thinking what is happening with the humans, why are they able to do things like this.

Then the reaper disappeared and Azrael didn't even realize that Anna is also gone along with the reaper.

If their hourgla.s.s has ended by your sin, no one will ever remember their existence as if you never live before.
