“What is goin-”
I stop my own sentence by screaming at the top of my lungs. I thought the pain was over. I thought it was over! The crowd overlooks me with sympathy. The people don’t say a word and they stay not moving. Lucas is the only one that speaks.
“My back is splitting open! Someone help me! Please,” I cry out. The crowd remains moving and ever watching. I scream once more as two thick hot needles pierce out through my back. Blood trickles and soaks into my shirt as I screech. “Please! Make it stop!”
Axel bends down and takes my hand. “It is the worst for the first time, I know.”
I let out a final scream as something protrudes hanging from my back. I am too exhausted to look back and I can barely hold the two burdens up. The burdens stretch themselves out and bends slightly wrapping all the way in front. I blink at what they are.
Wings. Bright red wings.
The crowd gasps and finally reacts giving a mighty applause. “A first gen!” They holler.
I have no energy to scream like I desire. I can only whisper. “What is going on? Axel please tell me,”
Lucas speaks over Axel and quiets the crowd with his words. “You are one of us just like I suspected,”
“What?” I ask, trying to gather all my strength. I can only get on my elbows before crashing back down on my stomach.
Axel sits me up with empathetic eyes. “I’ll explain everything. You just need to rest as much as you can. Your brand of your curse will be hidden soon,”
“Brand of what?”
“Your wings. Again, I will explain everything later. Just rest,” Axel says as people come with a stretcher. They lift me up and lay me down on my stomach. Axel doesn’t leave me for one second. He is always by my side. Even though he told me he’d answer all of my questions later, there is one question I want answered now.
“Axel, where are we?” I say feeling groggy.
“Mongolia,” Axel states “Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia,”

Felix/Death POV
“Stop, just stop,”
I push her away. “I can’t do this again. I’ve already moved on,”
Tears fall down her cheeks. “Bu-”
“I am going to ask her to stay. I would appreciate it if you could understand that. You can’t just pop up out of nowhere and kiss me Scarlet. I don’t care what you remembered,”
“I didn’t mean to forget,” Scarlet starts.
“I told you that when you summoned me. Before you knew you were a Reaper, I told you if you went down the path you were going down that there was a possibility that you would forget. You chose your job over me and I had to deal with that,” I say exhausted.
