"How's it feel to be dead?," Armani asked.
Arius shrugs and confesses,
" Feels like living I guess. But I'm not dead, it's m-"
" But you aren't living." Armani commented.
( can this girl be any more rude?)
" But I'm not dead. It's complicated... I'm a... I don't know really, someone who doesn't breathe, like a vampire kinda."
" Oh, do you know when you'll die. or just other people?" Armani questioned.
" I hope when you'll die, Arius does the job, now go away." I chuckle.
Armani smiles and skips up to Ethan and Omisha.
I glance at Arius, who was still floating, and looked unaffected by Armani's comments. He looks back at me and I turn my head back around to the path.
( whys my heart beating so fast? ALL HE DID WAS LOOK AT ME!!)
" You... I mean, you could do it too! Float, I mean..." Arius stammers.
I look at him with a shocked look on my face.
" teach me!" I yell out.
"... so then I s-... um, everything okay back there?" Achlys asks.
" yeah!" I laugh.
Arius looks at Achlys. in a strange way, too. his eyes flickered black.
"huh?" he says.
" Nothing! I didn't say anything." I stutter.
Arius sighs and lays on his back. while in the air still. Casey laughs and tries to push him off the air. it didn't work. Ethan looks behind him and Omisha at me. I shrug with a smile at himand he continues talking with Omisha.
I start to wonder about what it'd be like to see the year, month, day, hour and minute of when someone dies. I think it'd be hard to fall in love with someone knowing when they died.
I look at Arius again and dared to ask,
" How does it feel? See when your family and friends will die?"
He looks at me.
" I guess...it's like looking at a sick person, knowing they don't have much time left... Sometimes it's like you see a perfectly healthy looking person slowly fade into pain and suffering..."
He looks up at the group.
" Do you know when or what causes them to pass?" I blabbed.
" Sometimes. I can see someone sickness or infection."
" Where does it show the date?"
He points to the chest just below my breast plate.
" What is... my... date?" I push on.
he looks away from me, and up at the group again.
" If I say, you'll do whatever in your power to stop it... but, it's unchangeable." he choked.
