Bree couldn't stop drooling over Ryan, she made an excuse of coming over to pick up Amelia only to get more chance to see her crush. She started crushing on him since the first night they met but Ryan on the other hand kept on looking at the door like he was expecting someone.
" Chef?",
" Hm?",
" Are you expecting someone?", one of the workers asked,
"Of course not", he denied,
"But you keep checking out whosoever you noticed that comes in like you were expecting some...",
" Ryan!!", someone interrupted them. Ryan turned to her and grinned,
'She's finally here ', he said in his mind,
" I thought you won't come today",
" I always come", she replied smiling,
" I told you he was waiting for her", a worker whispered to another,
" he surely likes her", he whispered back
"Sure who wouldn't, she's so beautiful",
"Hi Bree", Amelia waved at Bree jolting her out of her Dreamland,
"Ho, Amelia you're here",
"Hm", she nodded,
"She has been waiting for you", Ryan said,
" I'm sorry, it's that jerk, he dropped at somewhere far from here and told me to find my way", she said hissing,
"Did you just curse?", Ryan asked not believing his ears,
"Yeah, I learned it from Bree", she said and pointed at her,
" um.. um...she learned it from the movie" " she replied shyly as Ryan's gaze was fixed on her,
"That's surprising but I should have guessed as much. Are you guys leaving now?",
"No..",
"Yes", both of them give different answers, Bree wants to stay but Amelia is eager to leave to quickly finish the movie she was watching at her place.
"Huh?",
"We are leaving now", she said and began to drag Bree away. " bye Ryan. Your hair is cute", she said smiling sweetly at him before exiting the restaurant. Ryan blushed, his heart skipped when she smiled at him. He smoothened his hair with his hand and blushed once again.
Amelia and Bree were walking to her place when Bree started,
" Amelia",
"Yes?",
" I want to ask you a question",
"Okay?",
"Is Ryan your boyfriend?",
"Boyfriend? What's a boyfriend?",
"Seriously is there anything you really know?", she said getting frustrated,
" I...huh?", she stopped on seeing some people at the bus stop. She walked towards them while Bree was wondering where she was going,
"Hi guys", she greeted the six of them at once,
"Who are you greeting?",
"Did...did...she see us?",
"If my guess is right, you guys are grim reapers right?",
"Huh! Yeahhhh", they screamed and hugged one another, amazed and shocked,
"She can really see us",
"Hey Amelia stop scaring me, Who are you talking to", Bree said as she watched her speak to nothing,
"They are here", she said,
"Who?",
"The Grim Reapers",
Bree was quiet for some minutes before bursting into laughter, " Who? Grim reapers?", she said and kept on laughing,
"Can you see us?",
"Yes, my brother has always talked about you, he said you always dress in black and always wear black hats so that's how I quickly recognized you to be reapers",
"Who are you?",
"A ghost?",
She was about to reply when another female grim reaper walked up to them and became shocked to see her,
" Princess?",
She turned to her, " Riya?",
" what? she's a princess?",
"Princess of what?", the grim reapers said getting curious about her identity,
" hey Amelia enough of your prank", Bree shouted, " stop talking to yourself people would think you are a mad woman",
" I'm not talking to myself, I'm talking to someone",
"Who? Air?",
" Princess Amelia, what are you doing here? How come you are on earth", Riya asked but then saw her black mirror, " Princess? Why is your mirror ...black?",
" It's a long story Riya, but can you do me a favor?",
"Sure Your Highness",
"Can you remove your hat so she'll know I'm talking to someone",
Bree looked around getting scared, " hey Amelia it's not funny",
" hmmm",
" don't do it, you'll scare her",
"But she's an angel, I can't disobey a princess for that matter",
" an...an angel?", they were all shocked,
"But where's her wings?",
" I don't know", she said and removed her hat.
Bree was getting angry at the prank when someone appeared in front of her. She was startled and dumbfounded, shocked that she fainted.
" I knew it", a grim reaper said,
" Bree? Bree!", Amelia squat beside her, calling her name worriedly,
" She's fine, she's just shocked",
"What should we do?",
"Let's take her home",
They lay Bree on the bed and sat beside her,
" I never knew I would ever see you again", Amelia said bitterly,
"It was a miracle for me also, I never thought I'd be opportune to be selected as a grim reaper",
" I'm sorry",
"There's nothing to be sorry about, I'm very happy to die as a hero trying to save my kingdom",
Riya was one of the best warriors in Akarsto and she is one of the queen's guards who volunteered to fight during the war with Darkso kingdom. Both Riya and the queen died during the war but it has always been Riya's wish to be sent to the grim reapers to deliver a message and get to see the humans and what they really looked like and that was also her dying wish. As a reward for her bravery during the war, the Almighty decided to grant her her wish and make her a grim reaper allowing her to see the humans as much as she wanted.
" wow I'm so happy you are doing fine", Amelia said,
" thanks your highness, but Princess, why are you here?",
Amelia sighed looking so sad, " I got banished",
" why? What's wrong? What got into you? You don't seem like someone who would harbor evil so why is your mirror black?",
Amelia took a deep breath before explaining everything that happened to Riya. She was shocked and speechless,
" I still don't know what to say to...", just then Bree groaned. She opened her eyes feeling a headache but the first person she saw was Riya,
" ghost", she said and fainted again,
"Hey Bree!", Amelia shook her but she didn't respond. She wished she would faint for real again but she was conscious,
"Stop pretending and stand up I'm not a ghost", Riya said,
She opened her eyes slowly, feeling scared,
"She's not a ghost, she's a grim reaper",
Bree was trembling as she sat up slowly, " grim reaper? I thought they were only from movies",
"No",
"But how come you can see them?",
"She's an angel", Riya said,
"An angel?", Bree was more than shocked, she felt cold shivers running through her veins,
"Maybe you should start going, I'm about to go crazy", she cried and covered herself with the blanket, " Grim reaper? Angel? Liars, they are ghosts", she cried trembling under the blanket,
"Let's go She needs some time, she's probably shocked",
" but",
"Don't worry princess she'll be fine". She said and pulled her out of her apartment.
