Chương 4: Chapter 4
Almost every night, Azrael would show up in my dream. And almost every night, he would take me to places. He would make me do things I haven't done before. It was really nice, He would comfort me when I would cry. I would feel like I was loved.
I am actually here in my dream right now, Azrael told me to wait for him cause he would get me snacks. I don't really know if I would get full when eating the snacks he would give me cause I believe that this is just a dream.
I waited patiently but An hour passed and he still wasn't here, I decided to go inside his Cabin and check where he was.
I opened the cabin door and got inside, I proceeded to his mini kitchen by surely he wasn't there. I then proceeded to his bedroom but he still isn't there.
I decided that it's best for me to leave and not bargain in his personal privacy when I realized that there are folded clothes in his bed.
Silly of him to not put these shirt on the closet. I decided to fold some of it neatly and stack everything. Then I opened the closet.
Frozen, I couldn't move my muscle. All I could See are jars everywhere inside the closet. No, I mean there is a huge space inside that closet and it's almost like a walk in closet but it's full of jars.
I was about to get in when the door inside me shut close. I then saw the person standing in front of me closing who closed the door.
"What are you doing?" He asked sternly.
"Azrael—It's just that your clothes are lying there and I decided to put it back."
"You don't have to. You might as well just leave it in the bed.
"Well, I'm sorry. But I saw the jars inside the closet may I ask what are those?"
"You must leave early, Astra." He told me then he pulled me by the wrist. Leading me outside his cabin and leading me to the door.
I didn't want to leave, but I had no choice. It's better not to make him angry.
I then stepped outside the door and there's that same familiar feeling of the darkness emitting me.
....
I woke up and just like usual it's 7 am in the morning. I decided to get out of bed and feed Dark first before getting ready for school.
I wasn't living in the dorms anymore cause I was stuck managing grandma's cabin,
When I arrived at school, I saw Chanel waiting at the gates for me. I smiled at her and she waited for me so that we could walk inside the school together.
....
"Okay students, The prom is two days from now this is a very big event. And like I said, you should bring your parents as your prom date, got it?" Professor Orborne asked while looking at his list.
"Yes, Professor Orborne." The students bored voice said in unison.
I didn't know what to do, I have no parent or whatsoever. So I decided to face the ground the whole time.
'Hey, Astra doesn't have a parent right?' I heard a voice asked.
'Yes, she's so pathetic. Serves her right, she doesn't even deserves the attention she's getting.'
'The little beast doesn't have a guardian? Hahaha. Who am I kidding, they must have thrown her away because of how she looks.'
'Hahaha, Serves her right.'
I heard chattering and whispers about me. It's getting on my nerves and I don't know if I should cry or not.
But please make them stop.
"That's Enough!" Mr. Orborne shouted which made my classmates literally took a pause.
"I would not tolerate this kind of behavior in my class!" He declared.
"All of you, In the Dean's office after this."
Then Mr. Orborne looked at me.
"Except you."
Then he exited like Nothing ever happened.
'What's up with him?'
'He must've gone cray cray, He shouldn't have defended Astra.'
'We all know Mr. Orborne doesn't like, Astra one bit.'
Then alot of chattering happened. They all threw dirty looks at me and some exited out of the classroom.
I also got my way out of the classroom when I saw the same guy who helped me 2 weeks ago. The blonde guy with jade eyes.
"Uh, Hey." He greeted.
"Hey..?"
He looks like he was thrown off cause I didn't know his name.
"You can call me, Zach." He nervously murmured.
I let out a small giggle and he looked at me like I was some kind of fragile thing.
"Uh, I—wanted to ask you. If you would.. You know, want to be my partner on the second dance...?" He proposed.
He looks alot cute and what made him attractive is that he was blushing from ear to ear.
"I would love to."
His face then lits up and then he looked at me like I was some sort of angel.
"That's great! Then, I'll meet you in the prom! Bye!" He Said after turning away.
Well, I must say. That was pretty cute. Then I headed home.
.....
I was on my desk, thinking about what I should wish for. Then the jars last night made me curious.
Dear: Azrael,
I wish for you to show me The jars I saw earlier and I wish for you to tell me what's in it.
- Astra.
...
Then I folded the paper and left it on my desk.
I then closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.
...
As I opened my eyes, I saw myself standing in in a grassy dried field. The sun was making the grass golden.
The setting was probably at sunset, I could see the cabin and I could see Azrael looking at me.
I walked in his direction and I could see the worry in his eyes.
I just walked and he just stood there until we we're face to face.
"You really wanted to know what's in those jars, right?" He whispered.
I gave him a small nod and there he understood.
"Follow me." He asked.
Then he began walking inside his cabin, leading me to his closet.
When I first stepped inside All I could see was jars, but then while walking I could see those jars with a tiny light inside, each light has a different color.
Then Azrael stopped on his path which made me stop as well.
"You see those?" He pointed to the jar.
I just nodded.
"Those are the souls I collected." He stated.
I became more puzzled, souls? Why would he collect souls? How can he collect souls?
"I am the.."
"The what?"
"The Azrael."
"I know you are Azrael, But what are you?" I asked a little confused.
"I am The grim reaper. I collect these souls and once they are to be reincarnated I will give them to the Light. But when they need to repent for their sins, I would give them to the Dark and once they repented, they would be in the process of reincarnation again." He confessed.
"Well, then. Is this?"
"The purgatory? Yes it is." He answers.
"Well, If you are the grim reaper then why are you able to grant wishes?" I asked, confused. This couldn't be possible.
"I do as I please, I am the leader of this area."
"That's something...."
If that's the case, maybe he could bring Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa in my prom.
That's exactly what I would like to wish for next time.
"It's getting late, You still have classes." He reminded.
I then realized that I still do, I looked at him and gave him a hug. In which he didn't expect.
Then I pulled away and ran out of the closet, away from the cabin and then there I met the same door.
This is going to be an awesome day, I thought as I opened the door following with the same feeling of darkness.
