Chapter 6 - I choose you

I stared at Abbie in awe, feeling as if I was in some sort of dream, which is really weird coming from a Celestial and someone who sees strange stuff like this almost everyday. She was covered in a light that even at a glance, could fill anyone with a feeling that its all going to be okay, and thats how I felt just looking at her even before her awakening. Ben let out a laugh of pure joy and screamed "Yes! Finally after over 400 years, my subordinate has finally awoken, you are finally here! My one true love, Hope you are once again awakened!". Ben looked at her expecting a reply, but got nothing in return, he confusingly said "What is the matter my child, you are my other half, you are here to finally defeat my one true enemy. Death." he reached out his hand in invitation, but she kept looking back at him without saying a word, I knew what was going on inside her head, she knew everything now, the prophecy, her goals as a higher being, why the three of us where Celestials in the first place, she knew all of it now, and I thought that this was it, shes going to go over to his side, or even worse kill me, because after all I'm her half opposite, shes the only Celestial that has enough strength to overpower me, and if Life is here she definitely won't hesitate. But then I saw her face, she was looking back at Life with cold, angry eyes that I never want to be on the receiving end of and said "Life, I do not wish to fight alongside you, I will never be your vessel to kill Death." Life stepped back as if she was about to attack him, I still lay on the ground trying to grasp what Abbie had just said, she continued "I do not care about the Celestial prophecy, all I wish for is to be with Death, even if that goes against the High celestial, I do not want to kill Death now or ever in my reincarnation." I was awe struck, I managed to get out the words "Abbie you can't, you are the Celestial of Hope now, you have to be with Life, if you do this it will cause a celestial imbalance and the world, no, the universe wont be the same af-" she cut me off "I dont care, I know the consequences of these actions, but I didn't choose to be reincarnated, but I did choose you."
