Was It Worth It?

It’s always the same. I just do as I’m told. Take them where

there meant to be they say. Keep the ‘cosmic balance’ they say. Well I’m sick of the cosmic balance! It’s all bullshit! It’s just a power game! Whoever has the most power wins. That’s how I got where I am today, sitting in a dank, disgusting, wet alley, just watching life pass me by.

Sorry forgot my matters. I’m Death. God that sounds so morbid. Well that is what everyone calls me. I am the Angel of Death. When people die I take them on to the next life. That’s my job. Well was. Not anymore thanks to that scumbag. Maybe I should explain...

Flashback

I walk towards the wall before me and as I reach it I slowly pass through. I look around, something was calling me, well someone. “You heard me then?” said a voice behind me. I spun quickly to find myself faced with a man. He was fairly well built, short dark hair, he looked rather broody. “Who are you? Why did you call me here?”

“Because...I needed to speak with you.”

“Concerning?”

“I need your help.”

“How is it you can even call me or see me for that matter? You’re just a human.”

“Because I’m Gerard Way.”

Immediately I frowned, I knew that name. I held out my hand and clicked, immediately a diary appearing in my hand, I flicked to this week. Running my eyes down the page I saw that it wasn’t Gerard I was collecting it was Mikey Way. He was the soul that was to be collected in precisely 3 hours.

“How did you...?”

“I know things okay? I just do. Please you’ve got to help me. He’s my brother. He can’t die. Not today.”

I sighed deeply, shaking my head. “I’m sorry. I can’t help you. There’s nothing I can do.”

“Can’t or won’t?” Gerard asked with spite etched into his voice.

“Can’t! Look I can’t just decide which souls to take and which not to! It would throw the world off balance; the entire cosmic balance would be screwed!”

“Look there’s things he needs to do. I’ve done nothing with my life; I can’t let him make the same mistake as me. He’s only just begun his life! Now I know that this afternoon he will be dead...and I...”

“Look. I’m sorry I really am. You’ve got...” I looked at the small silver watch hanging round my wrist. “2 hours and 53 minutes. Go make something with that, spend time with him, take him to the Himalayas for all I care but that time is all I can give you.” I turned to walk away, back through the wall I’d come from.

“NO!!” I suddenly felt myself halted and a quick wind picked up, even though we were in an enclosed basement.” I turned slowly back towards the boy. He was standing, hands splayed at his sides. This boy could work some major mojo. “You don’t understand!! There are people who love and care about him! I can’t just let him die! And I won’t!”

“You think you’re the only one who can work magic?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at him. “Trust me. You’re not.” I said, with a flick of my hand. He went flying backwards into the wall with a sickening thud.

I heard a yell of “Gee!” and a rapid knocking on the door. Gerard looked up at me, a mixture of anger and tears in his eyes.

“2 and half hours...” was all I said as I turned and walked through the wall just as a young man came running down the stairs. “Gee?! Are you okay?!”

End Flashback

So that was my first meeting with the ever infamous Gerard Way. He was a nice guy I thought, just wanted to save his little brother. I just didn’t realise how far he was willing to go just to do it.

So there’s the first chapter. I hope you guys like it. Send me some feedback so I know whether to continue or not. Sorry it’s short. More Childs Mind on the way :D Slayya
