Midnight Shadow
Zulin felt a weird sensation in her body, like she was floating.
She gently flicked her eyes open, registering the unfamiliar surroundings around her. "Wasn't I supposed to be dead?" she wondered.
She saw a figure in the distance. "Isn't this Nite? What is he doing here? Where am I?"
she asked out loud. "Am I dead or alive?" But she already knew the answer to that. She was killed, and she was sure she died.
"We meet again Princess Zulin..." She heard a strange voice.
"Do I know you?"
"But too bad it was so soon.."
But if she was dead, what was Nite doing with her? Did he also die or was he killed? And whose voice was she hearing? "Where am I?" she wondered out loud.
"In the land of the living.. or .. dead?"
She heard same distant voice. "Well, not the Land of the Dead, certainly. But yes, you are right. You are actually dead. And if dead people find themselves at my abode, that only means one thing: maybe you are actually in the Land of the Dead."
Zulin shook her head as sadness flashed in her eyes. Yes she is dead, she was killed.
But then again, she heard the voice. "No, you are not dead."
Confused, she tried to figure out where the voice was coming from and swept her gaze around, but she didn't see anybody. "What do you mean by 'I'm not dead'?"
"Don't get me wrong," the voice said again. "I mean, you are dead, but... you are a living dead."
"why?"
"Because I give life in the land of the dead"
"What?" she asked in surprise.
"By the way, Princess Zulin, how does it feel to be dead on the day of your marriage?"
"It feels like being... a lost female protagonist in a horror movie" Zulin responded.
"No, you're the antagonist Zulin.." the voice chuckled. "Why were you killed?"
Zulin didn't respond, that's right she might actually be the antagonist here.
"And your sister is getting married to your fiancee.. your mate.."
