I open my eyes to find myself myself in a office,sitting in front of a desk. Sitting behind the desk was a woman with . Her body was curvy yet slim. Her skin was grey and dull. Her hands were tattooed with white hennas that contrasted her skin. I breathe in.

"Hey cutie." She says to me.

"W-Who are you? Where am I? Why cant I remember who I am?" I start to panic.

"Relax,love. I'm Death." She smiles at me and i take a moment to look her in the face. Her eyes are two separate colors, with her left eye being red and her left eye being purple, booth very bright and vibrant. She swirls her hand and out of thin air, she forms a hand mirror and hands it to me. "This is you. Your name is Zen. You are a fifteen year old boy and you have....well you died."

I look in the hand mirror and I begin to study myself. "Im...DEAD?!" My hair is wavy and pure snow white with occasional gold clamps spread around, With my hair ending my lower back. My skin is caramel brown and my eyes are completely dark brown. "How long have I been dead?"

"...Around 20 years give or take."

"20 years?!"

"Yea, just about. Your soul was lost in our system for a while. You have to remember that thousands of people die everyday."

"Well. Okay." Thats sad to think about. So many dead old people.

"Mhm and you,along with three others, have been randomly selected to be apart of my Reaper program." She says with a huge, genuine smile on her face. "And this place," she points out her office window. i turn around to see a city full of bright lights and ginormous skyscrapers. "This is the Underworld. Now let me take you to where you will being staying and who you will be staying with." She stands up from her desk, walks over to me and takes my left hand to hold as we leave her office together. As we walk down the I look at the top of my hand and there is a burned symbol into my skin.

"Whats this about?" I point at the symbol.

She turns and looks at me, " Hm? Oh that just shows that you are one my Elite Reapers. One with many...many gifts." As she looks forward, Her happy and bubbly voice dropped to a more serious tone. "See Zen, you may not remember anything or what you are able yo do, but you are very. Very. Important."Important?How am i important? Im dead. We leave the building of which Deaths office is located in. She unlocked her car and said "Ride shotgun,baby." Her smile and voice returns. I enter the car, put on my seat-belt(safety first) and wait for Death to start driving. And as soon as I blink, Death is already taking off her seatbelt.

"And here is the place!" she says as she gets out the car. I get out of the car and in front of me is a two story house. Enough space for a family of five, really. But why am I here? And how did I die? Can I die again?? Because this feels..real. This feels like I am living. What exactly is going on here? "Follow me and allow me to introduce you to the other Reapers." Death said as she walked ahead of me and into the house. Follow her inside and i walk straight into the living room, where 3 other people are sitting on couches,waiting patiently, wearing all black like me.

Death walks into the living room with bottles of water for us. "Hi Everyone! Glad to see everybody now has the chance to meet each other. All four of you have been chosen to be my Elite Reapers. All of you have gifts and skills inside of you that need to be awakened. But dont worry, because thats what we will be doing tomorrow. For now, lets all introduce ourselves! Im Death. Im a God." She points to the girl next to her on her right. "Your turn,Baby."

"My name is Estia and I am seventeen years old." Her physic was petite. She was no taller than chest level to me. her hair was fire engine red. Her hair was in a high pony tail,but her bangs were still in her face. Her voice was high pitched kind of like a child...and shes seventeen. She points to the right, initiating another turn.

"My name is Cyrus. Im sixteen years old." His stature was tall and lengthy. His skin was tan and his built was a mix of skinny and muscle. His hair was brown and short and his eyes were ocean blue. His voice was deep but welcoming. He points to the next person.

"My name is Dhalia and Im fifteen years old. " She was average height and average build. Her face was littered with freckles and her eyes were gray and cold. Her skin was white and pale but her jet black hair,which reached down to her lower back, helped contrast it. she then looks at me and nods with a soft smile. guess its my turn.

"Hi. My name is Zen and I am fifteen years old. nice to meet you all." I smile trying to be as positive as i can in this situation. We are all dead after all. They all smile at me shortly then face their attention towards Death.

" Cool so if you guys need anything from me or need to contact me, I left a phone for each of you on the table. There are 5 rooms, all equal in size. I know you guys didnt come here with any clothes or luggage but you guys will be getting a lot of other things that you might want to hold on to. The kitchen fridge restocks itself once as month, even though you guys dont have to eat...or sleep since you're dead but it still feels good. Right??? If you need clothes to sleep in or change into then," She snaps her fingers and four suitcases appear in front of us with our respective names on it."there you go. Have fun kids. BYEEEEE." Death leaves and closes our front door.

"Well, I guess this is our situation. Lets make the most of it guys." Estia says smiling from ear to ear.

"Yea." I say,smiling back. "I want a room upstairs. If thats okay."

"yea, same actually." Dhalia says as she looks me in the eyes. "Lets share a floor, okay?" she smiles at me calmly.

"Sure." I respond.

"Cool, so Cyrus and I will share the bottom floor." Estia replies. "come down if you need anything." She takes her suitcase and proceeds to walk down the hallway to her room. Dhalia and I walk up to our floor and we were talking about how Death is basically our mom now. we talked and talked and she said that she cant remember anything either. None of us do. We all just woke up in Death's office.

We stop at the room furthest down the hall."Well I guess ill take this bedroom. Night Zen."

Woah. "Night." What time is it? I Head to my room, change into more comfortable sleeping clothes and I lay there in the dark. But as Im laying there, i begin to think: What really happened to me?
