A nostalgic feeling and scent, remembering all scenes that happen to me either from the past or my future. Fight for saving My Love’s One life, with a cost, lost my precious feeling. It happens when the world that I know changes.

Abruptly, my eyes open.

Morning light shine covering my face.

I’m alone...

... I see.

I’ve been dreaming.

Who is she?

I don’t know.

I let it go, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom. Wash my face, brush my teeth, feel the taste of blank water, and mint-like foam filling on my mouth.

Face in front of my mirror in my room, fixing my bed hair, pulling my arms through the sleeves of my school uniform.

Bring my bread, secure it using upper and lower teeth, having the sourness of the strawberry that fills my mouth.

I open my home door. “Have you waited?”

See Alp, who was standing in front of the house while playing with his fingers, smiling toward me. “No, let’s go!”

Together we go toward school and have a school life like always.

Alp is my best friend, and he is a hilarious person who always makes jokes in class and makes everyone like him. While I just sat in my seat, I took out my notebook waiting for the teacher to come in and begin the lesson.

Six hours have passed. The last bell rang, making the last teacher leave the classroom.

Alp approaches me. “Mort! Let’s move to an arcane game together!” His hand lay on my neck back. “I am also bringing my three other friends.” Pointing with his thumbs back where his three male friends were standing.

Actually, I was not very familiar with the three friends he invited because the three of them were in the next class. Since I have no activities at all in the house today, it’s not so bad to get along with other people.

“Sure!” I give him a light punch toward his stomach. “Let’s go now!”

Alp and the others wait in next to the gate first while I keep all the things on my desk. I keep a notebook, pencil, eraser, and other stuff in my bag and go out of the classroom running to the front gate of the school.

We laughed together, while waiting for the traffic lights to turn green. Suddenly a deep, echoing voice entered my head. “I have found you, MY LORD!”

The sound made my mind go black and my body moved on its own across the street like a puppet where the traffic lights were still red. Alp and the other his friends are still telling stories and did not look at me walking across the road.

While I am still walking in the street’s midst, I tried to control my body to avoid the heart of the street, but I could not move my body.

After a few seconds of walking on the road, “Mort?!” Alp noticed me being in the middle of the street, shouting to call me back. I can take a peek on my right side and see a bus with a sleepy driver indirectly stepping on the gas pedal that makes the bus move faster.

*CRASH!!!*

The bus hit me so hard, and the impact threw me far. I suffered the pain of the impact all over my body. My vision went blurry, seeing Alp with all his friends, ran toward me as fast as a bus that hit me, and the driver quickly got out of the bus with a face full of sweat seeing what he had done.

My head felt wet. Smelling like all iron around me. Red rose water flooding out of my body covered as much of the street area.

“MORT! MORT!!” Alp shouted in with full shaking bodies, looking at my current condition.

I can’t move my body! This is very painful! Am I going to die? I felt sleepy and landed to close my eyes.

Not long after I heard the siren of an ambulance, I fell into an infinite darkness.

Thinking reminds me, today my family is preparing a party for tomorrow. I’m sorry Mom, Dad, Emily, I don’t think I will join the party tomorrow. Feels so sad that I can’t see my family anymore.

No! I still can’t die! I do not want to die! My family at home is waiting for me!

Suddenly, the voice I heard before the accident spoke. “Why? Why don't you want to die?”

I shout in my mind. “It was your fault from the start! You control my body!” I shouted in my head, blaming all of that mysterious voice fault. “I want to live! I don’t want to die now!”

“I will not let you die, my lord. If I let my lord die, I fail to be your servant,” That mysterious voice spoke while calming me down, but something confused me. “What lord? Me, your lord? Just who are you?” I asked.

“Oh! I’m sorry, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Manes, a high spirit of the dead, and you now become one of the few high spirits holders.” The mysterious voice introduces.

Before I could ask all my listed questions to him, my consciousness had faded.

“Looks like I will postpone my explanation, sleep well my lord.” After listening to the last word from Manes, I soon lost consciousness.
