Hailey suddenly had an idea. "Let's say we are dating," she said without thinking twice. Ahmya had always had feelings for Hailey but had to keep them to himself because he was the god of death and no one wanted to join such a kingdom. Ahmya stared at Hailey and asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?" Hailey smiled and replied, "I'm not scared." That was the first time anyone had talked with and wasn't scared of Ahmya.
While Hailey's life as the water goddess was about attending rain rituals and controlling all the waters, Ahmya life was about ending people's life he barely had any free time and when he did he spent it alone watching how long people would live for. The youngest goddess on his list was Hailey who was going to die at 27years old(about six hundred human years) he couldn't understand why he was getting so attached to her or why his heart ached since he knew she was going to die young.
"I'm sorry I must've gone insane for a minute. You don't have to force yourself," Hailey said after the long silence had lasted long enough. Ahmya wanted to be with Hailey so much though. "I can't pretend," Ahmya said. "I understand," Hailey said and wanted to leave but Ahmya grabbed her hand. "I can't pretend because I am already in love with you. For real."
Hailey heart must've skipped a few beats. To say Hailey was shocked would be an understatement, it was the first person anyone had confessed their love for her. Sure she watched many humans and knew how they usually reacted but at that time her mind went blank. After a long pause she finally said, "I am sorry but I don't feel the same way."
"It is because I am the god of death?" Ahmya asked. "No," Hailey said. "Do you think I am a bad person?" Ahmya asked. "No!" Hailey exclaimed. "Then what is it? My looks?" Ahmya asked pulling Hailey closer. Hailey was looking straight into his eyes and she realized how he looked even more gorgeous.
