A few minutes before...
SiChen appeared before the restaurant while standing beside YiMing's senior. He had taken a quick glimpse at him but seeing nothing interesting In the man standing there and doodling over a book, He had quickly looked to the roadside.
He saw YiMing approaching the Little cat on the roadside. He was about to make his move toward her when the man's word's stopped him.
"And what do you think you want to do?"
The question had made him stop. Without him even knowing why exactly. But he did anyway.
Slowly, he then turned to look at the man who was still busy with his books.
Now he knew why he had stopped.., SiChen was invisible, But this man Could as see him...
With Shock and confusion wrote all over his face, he had his eyes on this man "Who....are you?" This was the best question he could come up with.
The man who was still busy with his book said nothing for a while. But then again Said "Don't...do what you think you want to do right now" He simply said.
SiChen didn't find this funny. He was now curious to know who he was. "I asked...who are you?" He questioned again. And just then, a scene flashed into his mind.
Judging from his attire, SiChen could trace him to the person he had seen under the streetlights that night. That mysterious person writing under the light... and that same person who had suddenly disappeared along with the light.
SiChen knew there was more to him that the possibility of being a ghost!
The man had stopped writing and the book in his hands disappeared. He then slowly looked up at SiChen in a classic Manner.
Their eyes finally met and what This man gave off was a cold smirk "Long time no see..."
The words hit SiChen and got his whole mindset thrown into an unrecoverable pit of confusion!
who was he? What was he? And did he know him? Have they met? How? When? He had questions that were still left unanswered.
"Who are You?" He asked again.
"It's been so long...Is this how you look at me... It's a pity" He said "But anyways...I guess the past...was meant to be in the past forever" On saying that, the man's eyes lit into a blue flash.
And on meeting those blue eyes, A flash went through SiChen's memories. Uncertain images and theories erupted.
But the one prominent scene was the one of heavy thick black blood flowing through the ground In a dark scenery.
He didn't know what that was. But he saw it in his memory and for a reason, it got him all tensed up for he felt familiar...
"When a death makes an entrance...who are you to interfere?" The man said snapping his finger and snapping SiChen out of his illusions.
SiChen blinked, eyes on This man.
It was as though his Ignorant eyes were taken off because now he saw who this man was "You are... Death" He said the words clear. But with some flaws.
The cold smirk lit, his eyes simply portrayed evil and nothing more."When death makes an entrance...who dares to interfere" He repeated those same words.
"It's not time..." SiChen said.
"Time?" He repeated, "Well I am this so-called time...And I say when it's time.." His frown was darker than his smirk.
"I can't let it..." SiChen said..." I can't"
"Then kindly do your worse..." The man said and in the next minute was out of sight.
It would be challenging death himself and SiChen knew a little too well.
A high Ranking Grim reaper in his field would know all the does and don'ts, He would know the consequences to it and he would know that challenging death was out of the question.
But then again, he slowly looked at The Truck which was now out of control and heading towards The other vehicles.
The other vehicles had made their way out quickly and now the only person on the road was YiMing.
"When death enters...who dares to interfere," He Said to Himself as he turned and disappeared.
He wasn't up for Savin YiMing this time.
****
"I...I didn't intend to kill myself... But if death would come then...."
Before YiMing could finish her sentence, SiChen bent down before her and grabbed her hands.
He then brought her up to her feet. "I said. You can't die without my permission, so don't even think about it" He said.
SiChen then turned and walked off taking YiMing along in his hands.
YiMing followed behind without any room for objections. She didn't even feel any urge to object.
strange enough, she was okay following him behind.
As they left the road, both of them disappeared and then the whole scene moved backward for a while and was back to normal.
****
Both of them appeared on the hehee street-side as SiChen left YiMing's hands. He didn't bother waiting for her as he walked ahead.
YiMing couldn't be left there, she followed behind trying to catch up.
"Hey..." She called out but he didn't bother stopping. "What was all that about?" She asked. This was what bothered her most.
But he didn't bother stopping anyways "Was it my time to die?" She had thrown the question as he finally stopped.
She too stopped behind him as he slowly turned to look at her, his cold and distant eyes on her.
