It happened again the blade dug too deep. The vision of my secret spot faded from my eyes as it all went black. It looks like this is the end. I closed my eyes and felt the falling. Hell was my destination since suicide is frowned at. The feeling of falling stopped and the area was warm but not hot.

I opened my eyes and all I could see was a single woman in her mid twenties sitting on a bench surrounded by darkness smiling at me. I just stared at her cause she looked familiar but I couldn't place it. I noticed her eyes were locked onto me. 

They were blood red and enticing. She motioned to me to come sit next her by patting the spot next to her on the bench. I hesitated at first but decided to do what she wanted me to. She watched me the whole time as I made it to the bench. I decided it wasn't polite to just keep staring at her so i just stared off into the endless darkness infront of me. I felt her inch closer to me but still stared out at the darkness. 

I didn't expect what she did next but she interlocked her fingers in my left hand. My whole body heated up at her touch. Who was this woman and why is the getting so close to me.

She cleared her throat "you know it's rude to ignore someone"

I slowly turned my head to look at her. Our eyes locked and her eyes were beautiful and full of desire. I couldn't look away now. She licked her lips as she squeeze my hand she has been holding.

"I'm sorry but I don't know who you are" I said to her.

Her smile faltered for a second but I saw it. Her dazzling smile returned like it never changed. "Your blue eyes are beautiful"

"Thank you. But can you tell me who you are please" I replied

A slight tint of pink cover her face. The desire in her eyes never changed. "I don't know why but I can't deny you mortal. I'm known as Death"

My eyes widened at what she told me. Why was Death so close to me and a woman. Like sensing my questions.

"I've always been a woman and I want you" she said seductively

I froze and stared at her shocked. She let go of my hand and decided she wanted to sit in my lap facing me. My body couldn't move and stop her. She was too close since she decided to wrap her arms around my neck. She pressed her forhead to mine.

I could feel the hotness of her breath as we sat there. My arms lifted to her waist and she jumped from the touch. Her face turned red. I smiled at her. I moved my left hand up and brushed some of her black hair from her eyes. 

"Why is such a beautiful being interested in a useless guy like me" I asked her

She moved faster then I could comprehend and slapped me hard across my face. I reached to rub it but she grabbed my wrist. I looked into her eyes and the desire was gone but instead it was rage. Her right eye was pure darkness no light would penetrate.

"Don't you dare call yourself useless in my presence again or you will feel my wrath" she commanded me.

She let go of my wrist and placed her lips to the spot she hit me and kissed it. The pain was gone instantly. She retracted and looked at me. Her eyes were back to the red color and had a look of sadness now

"I'm sorry. I have never had anyone to tell me I wasn't useless"

She sat back down on the bench and motioned for me to rest my head in her lap. I looked at her confused which made her grab my head and put it in her lap. How can she be so strong. I tried to struggle against her but to no avail. I ended up laying there with my legs hanging off the end of bench as she ran her fingers through my long hair. It felt good but I wasn't going to admit it to her. My eyes became heavy as she continued to mess with my hair. She started humming and it was tranquil.

"I can see what people can become and the choices they will make, but I can only see 5 years from this point into the future of you" she said "you have been to my realm a few times in the past but what I can see has never changed."

I reached up and stopped her hand so I could turn onto my back. I looked up to stare into her red eyes. She had a tint of pink on her face and she gave me a gentle smile. 

"How many times have I been here?" I asked

She just smiled and looked out into the distance. She was incredibly beautiful, her pale skin contrasting with her obsidian hair. 

"You have been here 10 times over the past 3 years" she replied while staring out

"So I've killed myself 10 times but I don't remember any of them" I said

"Well I erase your mind of this place every time so you wouldn't remember. But it seems I erase less and less every time." She said

Her smile faded. I sat up and grabbed her hand pulling her to a hug. She didn't resist and eventually wrapped her arms around me. She had a scent to her that was heavenly. I tried to nonchalantly take a deep breath but when I felt/heard her giggle I knew I failed. I sighed and rubbed her back. I pulled away and relaxed back against the bench.

"Thank you Daniel. I really needed a hug. You would be surprised but you are the first person I ever hugged back when you came here the first time" said Death.

"Really but cant you hug anyone?" I questioned her.

"I could but I never had the desire before I pulled you here the first time" Death replied. "I felt something when I first met you. I don't know what it is but it's like a pull that makes me want to be near you. I'm always feared since I'm death, but you have never showed a ounce of fear towards me."

I just looked at her and smiled. For a cosmic being she had fears and desires like everyone. I stood up and stretched my back. 

"Nothing against you but I have never feared death. I've actually desired it a few times since it felt like it would be better than the pain I was living in" I said standing there
