She died after finishing her dance that she made herself for her concert. She watched her own body being carried by the ambulance but it was already too late. "NO! SAVE ME!!" she yelled but no one heard her voice. The doctor confirm her death. The TV reporters already declared the news that she died and as she watch the people mourned her death on her funeral day,all of her fans cried as they bid farewell to her. But her own mother never shed a tear. "What a pity. She didn't even cried for you." she suddenly heard a voice from her back. A man in a black suit said while looking at me expressionlessly. "W-who are you?" I asked with a trembling voice. "It doesn't matter. Say, Lady. Do you wanna live?" The man asked with a creepy smile "Y-yes, l-i want to live." I answered "Is that so?" Then his appearance change after he said that. He float in the air while wearing a dark cloak that covers his head that only showed his glowing red eyes. He's holding a big black scythe that was oozing a dark with mix red smoke. Then he asked again. "So, are you willing to have a deal with me?" I frozed.
The car stop in front of the huge mansion in the middle of the forest. Although it's far away from the city and it has a fine road that was built solely for the one who has a permission to enter this mountain which I own.
It may not look like it but the mountain is filled with guards just to make sure that no one can enter easily. The mountain is also where we hunt animals occasionally which make a good place for us to train too. There's even a time where we play and who gets the more animals win.
I followed after Sean who entered the mansion and go inside his own room. And on the way to there, I saw a few familiar faces who work in here. They were all wearing a sad expression and the whole mansion seems gloomy because of this.
Entering a familiar room with all the curtains are closed and that made the entire place dark makes me wanna cry. This wasn't it, it's supposed to be a bright room full of stitch design which is his favorite. I was the one who designed this room after knowing that he likes stitch and we also fill it with stitch toys.
I...I didn't know that my death would cause like this to him.
I stayed there and watch him crying for a few hours while calling my name until he fell asleep. Then the God of Death appear beside me suddenly.
"Mister, what are you doing here?" I ask him.
"I'm here to fullfil the contract." he said.
I immediately stand after he said that. "Really?"
"Yeah, and don't call me mister. Call me Master." he said with a commanding voice.
"Yes Master!"
"Now let me tell you this first. Although I'm giving you a body that looks like you, it doesn't mean that you're a human again. You are no longer a human, remember that. And one more thing, I'm your Master now so you also gained abilities after you made the contract with me. I won't limit what you do in this world but be careful using that power. That's all, goodbye." after saying that he left.
He didn't even give me a chance to ask questions about what he said and just left. I just sigh and sit at the bed where Sean was sleeping.
"M-mom?" I heard Sean call my name that's why I look back at him.
He stared at me with a face full of shock then his eyes starts to water again. Can he see me? Wait, Master haven't give me a body yet right? He didn't even do anything to me and just left.
"You can see me?" I ask him but instead of answering he rush at me then hug me tightly.
"ack!" I let a pained sound because of how tightly he's holding me but he didn't even lessen his embrace.
"Sean, loosen your hand." I said to him but he didn't listen.
"No.. you'll leave me when I let you go. Please... please don't leave me alone... Don't go, please!!!" he keeps begging me to stay while his face is burried in my neck.
"Sean,I won't leave so calm down."
"No! That's just an excuse for me to let you go then you will leave me again." he said, determined not to let me go.
"No, that's not true. When did I even lie to you?" after he heard what I said, he was in a state of silence for a few seconds before he loosen his arms that are wrapped around me.
I hug him back with my left arm and brush his head with the other hand. I heard him sob that's why I sing a lullaby to make him fall asleep. It's already twelve a.m. and he needs to sleep too because he haven't sleep for long earlier.
It take almost an hour before I heard his sob and his hand lose its strength. Then after a few more minutes, his sob completely stop and his breathing became monotone indicating that he's already asleep. But I didn't let go of him instead I continued to brush his hair.
It's already morning and a little sunlight pass in the gap of the curtains made me more sure of it. But I didn't even move a single bit and stayed at my position since last night.
I stare at Sean who's peacefully sleeping and using my lap as his pillow. He was in an uncomfortable position last night so I lay him down but I was still sitting in my previous place.
I'm still brushing his head using my hand. A few sunlight are directed to his face that makes me able to look at it. His eyelids are sore and the lower eyes are red.
While looking at his face I saw him slowly open his eyes, he frowned when the sunlight dazzle him. He raise his hands to block the light hitting his face. Then his eyes land onto mine. Still in daze, he just looked at me.
I smiled, " Good morning." I greeted him.
That's when his eyes widen and he sat immediately to look at my face carefully. He got up on his bed and immediately opened the curtains, I was blinded by the sudden light that was directed to my face that's why I closed my eyes. I slightly open my eyes only to find Sean blink a few times.
"Mom?" he called me.
"Yes?"I answered.
After that, his eyes starts to water again. He run towards me and hugs me tightly again.
"ack.. Sean, Sean, I can't breathe." I said while tapping his back.
He immediately let go of me. " I'm sorry, I'm just happy to know that what happened last night wasn't a dream." he said while wipes his tears using his closed hands.
"Wait! Does that mean I'm still dreaming? Mom am I dreaming?" he looked at me confusedly.
"Sean no, you're not." I said and help him wipe his tears but instead of drying his face he starts to tear again when I touch him.
He held my hand that was on his face and look at me with a longing face, "I.. missed you Mom."
"I missed you too." then I lean forward to hug him.
