Un-Save
He watched her as she moved. Her long skirt ruffled up against her car's door which let loose a little laughter from those sweet lips. Her giggles were music to his ears. He was mesmerized by everything that made her, her-the way she walked ,the way she talked, everything she stood for was simply a wonder to him.
How could anything be so beautiful?
Even though they were a million light years apart, he could still hear her heart thumping like she was right there , next to him. He felt that he could stay like that forever , watching her for the rest of his immortal life.
He was so enchanted by this captivating beauty that he almost didn't hear his friends calling out for him.
"Hey! What are you doing ? Don't tell me you're watching that girl again", one of his friends said.
He realised he spent more time than he should have watching her, again . He immediatly spread his wings and flew high to reach his friends.
"The time you spend staring at that girl has progressively increased . Should we be worried? Don't tell me you are falling in love with that mortal woman."
He was shocked.
"Love ? What ? No !
I know it's against the rules to fall in love with a human .. it's just that when I watch her, I feel alive. I feel...different. There's something inside me that seems so very
strange "
"Well you had better not get obsessed with her. Our duty as grim reapers is just to collect souls , not to fall in love with them. She is just one amongst the many that we will reap one day " Saying that, his friend flew away leaving him to ponder upon his own thoughts.
Fear took over him with the thought that something could happen to that girl . The scariest part was there was nothing he could do to prevent it.
Though he was a grim reaper he had no control over the situation what so ever. His job was to collect the dead as ordered , he was just a mediator and nothing else... what caused the death was beyond him.
He disliked the way his life was , the life he was forced to lead. He was banned from having emotions and it was going to be that way for eternity.
--------
Days passed, and he continued his routine of watching her. The girl was becoming more and more prominent.
One day during the middle of his watch he was summoned by his leader . They were to be assigned names of the souls he should take.
It would have been like every other time he was called,but this time he felt different , something had caught his eye. A very familiar face stood out.
His heart almost stopped when he realised who that was.
The soul of the very woman who had been his night and day was his to reap .
He couldn't stand the thought of losing her . Something had to be done, he couldn't live with the thought of losing her.
He cried out, "No, wait! This can't be done! She isn't old, or sickly."
"Rules are rules. We only do what we have been ordered to. " His higher authority stated .
"Well I have to stop it. Is there any way I can undo this ..? "
"Stop talking madness. Have you fallen for that wretched creature? Saving her life will cost you your own. You know this." The elder was now annoyed.
"If that's the price to pay, I will gladly lay my life down for hers ." That being said he spread his wings in a single, fluid motion and headed for his destination.
He increased his speed with each progressive second. His lips moved in silent prayer, hoping he wasn't too late .
He finally arrived. As his feet touched the ground of the earth his wings disappeared but that did not stop him .
He ran. He ran as fast as he could and headed down the dark alley which she always crossed by on her way to work.
Pure instinct told him she would be there.
He reached the coner of the alley. He saw the girl who he only stared at from the sky struggling to fight off an armed robber. The man already had a knife to her throat.
He felt his feet losing strength but he didn't give up.
The reaper flung his body over the man . He turned at that very moment and his knife plunged straight through the grim reaper's heart.
The mugger was so startled that he fled from the scene, leaving the reaper to fall into the arms of the woman he loved.
He had to admit that it hurt. He felt his life slowly draining out of him, but one look into that girl's beautiful eyes made the pain worth it.
Her eyes were filled with tears . she cried out " Oh my god! You're bleeding! I need to get you to a hospital!"
He shook his head 'No' lifted his arms to wipe her tears and a smile crossed his face. He couldn't believe he finally got to meet his beauty .
He was going to tell her he loved her. He opened his mouth but choked.
The girl felt helpless . She could not help but only stare at the dying man who was covered in blood.
"Please don't die... I didn't even get to thank you properly " Her tears ran down her face.
The man took a breath and began to speak " I -I lov-" with that he stopped, and the slightest flutter of life died within him.
He slowly started fading, along with his unprofessed love, pure as driven snow, turning into dust.
