Guess What! You’re Dead!

So call me crazy but aren't God and the Devil supposed to be almighty powerful beings? I get that first impressions aren't everything but I at least expected them to be a little bit responsible considering they'll be deciding where we're going to spend the rest of our afterlife. So the whole bickering like a old married couple was a little disappointing.

You see, I'm currently standing in front of two annoying people who are very convinced they are God and the Devil. You know, the Kings of Heaven and Hell? Well apparently they fight like five year olds.

"Yes I know I made a mistake you idiot! Just take her to your side. It'll be fine!" Said the one who was apparently God.

"B-but s-she wasn't supposed t-to die! I-I can't t-take her back t-to my side!" Stuttered so-called Devil.

"If you don't tell I won't! Plus it's not like we can do anything about it now!" God says starting to get annoyed with the cowardly man beside him.

"H-huh?" Y-you want m-me to l-l-lie? I can't! You know I can't! The boss will be angry!" Whimpered the Devil, close to tears.

"Jeez! You're a Devil aren't you act like one! She killed lots of mortals anyway! She'll bend right in!" Shouted God pointing at me harshly.

"She o-only killed b-bad mortals. P-plus she's s-scary" He said the devil, looking at me fearfully.

I sighed in frustration, could these idiots stop talking like I wasn't here? I have no idea what the hell is going on but I'm pretty sure that the words "mistake" and "die" shouldn't be in the same conversation.

"Um I'm sure you're every busy right now, but could someone please explain what's happening?"

"Oh right! You're still here. Sorry forgot about you for a second." Said God awkwardly laughing.

"W-well about your situation, this may come as a shock to you but I'm sorry to inform you that-"

"Guess what! You're dead!" God said with an inpatient look on his face.

"H-hey your not s-supposed to just blurt it out l-like that!" Said the Devil looking at me apologetically.

God sighed "It's the same every time, she'll be in shock, then she will cry, she'll deny it then after she'll accept it. All mortals are the same." He said with an annoyed look.

I looked bitterly at them with an cold empty smile. I wasn't that surprised. In my line of work it wasn't surprising that I got killed on a mission. I just didn't expect it would be by my best friend.

"Oh ok. So where do I go now?" I said with not much emotion.

God looked at me in surprise, "Oh? What's this? A mortal who doesn't fear death?"

"Death? Been there, done that, didn't really fancy it." I said giving him a blank stare.

He laughed heartily, "I like you! You're a bit less useless then other mortals!"

"Thanks....I think?" I said unsure whether that was a compliment or an insult to my whole entire race.

"U-um I'm glad you guys get along b-but we have bigger problems right now. You see, we kinda made a mistake. You actually weren't supposed to die." The Devil said slightly panicking.

"Yeah, I might've got you mixed up with someone else. Haha." Guiltily said God

I sighed, "You people couldn't get more useless" I mumbled under my breath.

"W-well actually I m-might have found a possible s-solution but it's a b-bit risky" He turned his gaze to the floor.

We looked up at him expectantly, "Well?" We said in unison.

"We could get her to do that..." The Devil said vaguely.

"Your a genius! It's perfect!" God exclaimed.

"Do what?" I asked. They were acting very suspicious.

"So we might have accidentally changed the boys destiny...." God said with sad eyes.

The Devil hung his head "Yes, we made a boy the villain of his own story."

"Huh? what?" I didn't understand what they were talking about. How could you be the villain of your own story.

"I guess it will be easier to read this." God sighed while handing me a document.

As I flick though the pages I feel tears form in my eyes. I was an assassin in my past life so we were stripped of our emotions. Emotions were a luxury for those who were free. We were just tools who was treated less than human. So who why was I feeling pity for a boy I've never met? His story was twisted from the start and ended in betrayal. This feeling was foreign to me. It was weird. I didn't like it.

"So what does this have to do with me?" I sniffed, wiping away my tears.

"W-we want you to c-change this boys destiny" declared the Devil.

"Excuse me?" What crazy idea were they plotting now!

"You'll be fine. All you have to do is defy the heavens and change his fate!" Grinned God

"You do realise you're the King of Heaven right?!" I asked wondering if they were naive or just stupid.

"E-even with his p-power it would s-still be hard to change a f-fate that's already d-decided." The Devil answered

"If you can't do it then I definitely can't! I'll need time to think about it." I decided

"So you'll do it! Come along! No time to waste!" He said pushing me towards a large door.

"Huh?! Wait a minute-" I shouted

"Your name is to foreign. We have to change it! How about....Sylvia Lynch!

"That's great but-" I said trying to get away.

"When you arrive there are three important things to remember:

One: NEVER get to attached to a character! Two: You can ONLY change the targets fate. Three: ABSOLUTELY do NOT fall in LOVE!" Said God in a hurry.

"G-good luck on y-your final mission young mortal!" The Devil said waving.

"I said I need time-" I started.

"Don't disappoint us! They'll be a reward for you in heaven when you succeed! Oh right! Make sure to rate us five star on Immortalgram!"

"Wait you bastards-" And then he opened a the door and pushed me into a brilliant light.

So now apparently I have to: Change a young boys fate. Defy the heavens. Make a villain a king. Help him out smart anyone gets in our way. And of course plot against the hero's. All this while dealing with a cowardly Devil and a selfish God. Trust me it only gets worse from here...

I'm Sylvia Lynch and this is the story of my second life!
