Chapter 2 - The Sacrifice
As I walked out of the bathroom, the shivers just got worse. I could feel my fingers and toes losing feeling.
The back of my head burnt so much that I couldn’t bear it. I laid in bed, trying my best to supress it.
Then, exactly ten minutes later, my Grandmother called for me. I tried my best to get up but I couldn’t.
Suddenly, frost slowly started to form around me, freezing a half-empty glass of water by my bedside.
She then opened up my door and gasped at the sight she behold. Rushing to my side, she touched my arm and quickly retracted her hand.
Grandmother
Amy... who did you meet? Who did you touch? Who did you talk to? Answer me so that I can heal you!
I opened up my mouth until a black figure stopped at the door.
Cloaked in a robe darker than night, all I and my grandmother could see was the coldness of its breath traversing the air in front of it like mist.
Reaper
Amy... I've come for you...
Grandmother
Amy, listen to me! You've got to get up! You've got to fight the chill! Come on!
Reaper
Amy... I've come for you...
The cloaked figure slowly approached me and the closer he got, the more the lights flickered around us.
Was I going to die here? No, I've got to get up!
Grandmother
Stay away! I won't let you touch her! I won't let you touch the Princess!
Then, the glimmer of a scythe emerging from the cloak and then, to my shock, embedded itself right into my grandmother.
I watched as he took his weapon out of her and then, I couldn’t believe it. Her toes started off by turning to ice, including her clothes.
Ice. That is what she became. A statue of ice. I couldn’t believe this... this must be a nightmare! But it wasn’t. I felt the pain, the excruciating pain...
The figure approached me, it's bony fingers wrapping themselves around the handle of its blade.
Reaper
Tell me... your name...
It's voice cut through the air like an icicle right into my eardrums. I couldn't move not one bit of my body.
Reaper
Say it... and I'll bring her back...
My heart beat so fast that I could barely hear myself think. Grandma... A tear rolled down my cheek, which immediately froze on my arctic skin.
I couldn't. My throat hurt so much. The frigid and bitter cold travelled down from my throat for a moment, allowing me to speak.
Amy Angel
A-Amy... A-Ang-gel...
The house clock abruptly stroke midnight. It was my birthday. I was now 16...
Warm light suddenly surrounded me, negating any chill that I had previously experienced. The cloaked figure stepped back, clearly panicked.
I then heard a voice. A familiar voice which gave me great warmth.
Mysterious Voice
Be good... and be brave.
And then, everything went dark. My eyelids felt heavy, like when you haven’t slept for 24 hours non-stop.
I felt something warm surround my wrists and then my chest, bringing air back into my lungs which were once frozen.
And then... nothing. I felt nothing and I swayed into nothing by accepting this fate and everything went blank.
