    I  open my eyes slowly, blinded by a bright light. Where am I? Everything around me is pure white, whiter than snow. 

     “I see your life has ended already. Tiss tiss, you’ve had a bumpy ride. I bet you don’t even understand why the boy killed you.” 

      A woman approaches me. Her skin is pure darkness with light gray eyes and a hooded ,wore-out, silk,  black  robe. She had long light purple hair flowing from behind her ears. 

      “Who are you?” 

       “Well, Asheem. My name is not important. However you can just call me Mara. I am a grim reaper. Since introductions are now unnecessary follow me.” She grabs my wrist and starts walking. “You are no longer alive. You died of severe blood loss, however, your transformation would’ve killed you anyway. “

         “What are you talking about?” My memories are all blurry. Did she say my name differently? Someone killed me? Transformation?

         “You are having trouble remembering things aren’t you? If you want I can try and attempt to trigger your memory before I explain what will happen next.” 

         “How? I mean, sure.” 

          She stops walking and lets go of my wrist. She turns and puts her hand over my face. I start to feel like I’m falling, everything goes black and my memories flash through my mind. It all happened so fast. I open my eyes again. Mara takes her hand off me and nods. 

         “Do you remember everything now?” 

           I nod and we continue walking. 

      “Mara, do you know why Cas killed me?” 

       She looks over her shoulder and back. “It was never anyone’s plan for you to die. Cas’s family was killed by demons. When he saw your eye it took him back. He was filled with rage and didn’t ask questions. Jax noticed that and moved Layla away so she didn’t get hurt. Cas most likely saw you as the other demon(s). So, he decided to kill you.”

       “She was a part of it? Layla? Was she?” 

        “No, she was in love with you,however, I am unsure if the others knew or not. It would be best that when you return you stay away from them for a while at least,” She reaches over and gives me a hug.  “You won’t have to worry about Layla, and if you wish I can help you to get revenge to kill Cas.  I will now trigger the finish of your transformation,” she then lets me go. “It will be like the time I triggered your memories except you will go to the place where your body is.  You will still be dead, in fact you will become a full on demon. You will only partially look like it though, but in hell you will look fully,” she pats my shoulder and gives me a sympathetic smile.  “Enough talk, we shall see eachother again. Farewell, Asheem.”
