I stood before the girl lying in the hospital bed with my black wings spread out across the room,hood covering my face,scythe in hand. She looked like an angel who had just lost her wings. Her parents at her side weeping and mourning over her. The doctors and nurses taking the needles out of the dead little girl.  The girl stood next to me in her spiritual form,”Why?” She asked while staring at her 5 year old body,my black wings hanging over her head.  I looked down at her with my solid black eyes and spoke quietly,”Because.” I stopped for a second,”There is no respite for faith. There is nothing but cold steel teeth and scourging fire for all of us.”  She didn't understand my words of truth so she just nodded and stood quietly. “But mommy and daddy..What will they do?” She asked her voice cracking from her starting to cry. “Mommy and Daddy will move on. One day.” I said expressionless.  Her mother looked at her body and grabbing her limp,pale hand she spoke, “Annie..My dear sweet Annie! Please wake up! Annathez wake up!” Her mother's screams filled the halls of the hospital. Her husband's arms wrapped around her small figure in an attempt to comfort her.  “Mommy I'm right here!” The girl beside me screamed. “She can't hear you,anymore. No one can.” I knelt down by her and smiled. She shook her head,”I want to stay with mom-mommy and daddy!” She stuttered and started to cry. Her lanky legs gave out and she fell on the floor. Her white dress spreading around her. My dress doing the same around me. “Annie. We have to go sweetie.”  She looked up at me with sad brown eyes,”Go? Go where? I can't leave mommy and daddy.”  I shook my head,”Annie you don't understand we HAVE to go..” I stated firmly and stood back up,brushing off my long,black dress,making the creases disappear. She backed up,” NO! I'm not leaving!” She wailed,hoping for someone to hear her. Her father looked up to where the 'ghostly formed' girl was standing indicating he knew she was there. “Go to your afterlife,Annathez..I will meet you there.” Her father's deep voice echoed through the room. Her mother looked up at the tall man that was hugging her and asked,”Josh..Where is she?” She let her hazel eyes scan the room for any sign of her baby.  Her eyes shot back up to him,”What do you mean YOU will see her in YOUR afterlife?” He looked down coldly,”She's going to Eternal bliss with me. You're going to hell.”  She rose an eyebrow,”Why only me?”  I interrupted sternly,”You are a satanist. Nothing is wrong with might I add because I am also more on his side. But this is beside the point.” I paused for a second and sighed,tapping my foot on the white tile floor,”You take being a satanist to seriously. You are not worthy of following him. You think you are forced to do evil. You are not. You are not worthy..At all.”  

She looked around the room in search of me and Annathez. She looked from where my voice came from and scoffed,” Show yourself you witch!”  I smiled slightly,letting myself appear with the small girl cowering behind me. I was at least a foot taller then the women in front of me,even without the midnight black horns sticking up from my head. She looked over me,eying the scythe in my hand.  “Not worthy?!.Not worthy?!” She screamed at me, but had started backing up when she heard a loud snarl escape my throat. “Yes! Do I have to repeat myself?!” I shot right back at her. I felt the girl tug on my dress, alerting me. “I want to leave now..” She said with a small voice. Her mother gasped and glared at her daughter, almost like she was looking right through me,”Annathez! Are you kidding me? You aren't leaving with her!” Her mother ran over the girl's body, which was still laying on the hospital bed.

 Before I could do anything the girl's mother started chanting, a revival spell might I add. I growled deeply,”NO!” I grabbed her arms and pulled her back away, using my free hand to cover her mouth so the spell wasn't completed.  She kicked my legs, struggling in my tight grasp, no way in God's name was I gonna let her go. Josh sat next to Annathez's ghost quietly, having small conversations that only a father could have with their daughter. Josh spoke up, obviously wanting to talk with me now, “Death I presume is your name?” He asked cautiously. I nodded and sat her mother, Julia, on the bed making her  stay there.  Josh spoke again, “I would like to go to heaven with Annie. Please.” He begged me..I could tell he needed to leave with her.  I looked back at Julia who was shaking her head violently, she didn't want to be left alone. I walked over to Josh and kneeled in front of him,”I can do that..But you understand you can't make a second choice right?” Josh glanced at Julia, thinking of all the fights and pain she has put him through..not to mention all the pain he's put his little girl through. He knew this was the right choice.  “Yes I know..I'm ready.” He said simply.

I nodded,”Okay..” I brought his lips to mine for a quick second and pulled back, taking his purple soul out of his body.  His body fell to the floor with a thud and he turned into a spirit with Annie. I smiled as he hugged her and I opened the portal to eternal bliss, a great whitish-gold light beaming through it. “You are able to leave now.” I stated calmly. Josh looked up at me,”Thank you.” He smiled and walked through, hand-in-hand with his little girl. I closed the portal and looked back at Julia who had tears running down her cheeks,”Please! Please, kill me now!” She wailed in hope, thinking I actually would take her. I glared at her as I faded into nothing, “Death doesn't want you unless it's your time to die..”
Edit 12/03/16: Wow, this is an old story. I see a lot of mistakes, but something that has really shown the growth of my writing. Thank you all for your support of my old and new writing and I hope you continue to enjoy my work for years to come.)

This is a story involving Death, Annathez or Annie (the little girl) Josh, (the christian father), and Julia (the satanist mother) This is my own story, as well as the characters. 

Enjoy~

That was excellent, quite sad but the ending is happy in a way too as the little girl gets to stay with her Daddy!
