I can't move...
I feel that if I move even the slightest inch, I'll die!
Not only that...
I look at Seb, Max and Elle for a brief moment.
They'll die...
This man...
What is he?
What is this sense of dread?
I can't help but shiver, this black monster is engulfing me, and I can do nothing to stop it!
The Shinigami looks down at me curiously, as if observing an insect.
"This is strange..." his voice is soft, yet feels like a blade.
"How are you awake? Are you not redeeming yourself?" he seems to be shocked.
What is he talking about?
Redeeming myself?
"What do you mean, redeeming myself?" I can barely speak up.
The Shinigami remains silent and observes me for a moment.
"So you don't know..."
The Shinigami gives me a twisted grin, I clench my fist in response.
"We have to run." Seb interupts my thought process.
"If we stay here, we will die..." I can almost feel the fear in his voice.
"Whats the plan?" Elle keeps her voice low.
I avert my eyesight for a moment watching them.
What can I do to help them?
As I look in front of me, the Shinigami was right in front of my eyes.
I could see into his eyes clearly, all I could see was death.
A spiral of death as if inviting me to be sucked in.
It was as if I were looking into the heart of a black hole.
"What are you?" I hesitate for a moment, but jump away from him.
The others back off with me, but stay close.
The Shinigami takes a step forward and we take one step back in response.
I hear a crack as I step back, I look down and notice I've crushed a skull.
The Shinigami looks at out feet for a moment, then looks me in the eye.
He tilts his head and gives another twisted grin.
Run.
That's all I can think of, but my body refuses to budge.
Run run run run run run run run run run!
I'll die.
If this continues, I'll die.

I look back and notice the others are in the same situation as me.
What can I do?
The Shinigami is coming closer and closer and I'm powerless.
What can I do?!
...
Kill him.
...?!
I hear a voice within the depths of my mind.
I stop for a moment and try reaching for it.
...
...
Kill him.
Destroy him.
Decimate him.

These thoughts start to flood my mind.
Who?!
Who is it?!
"...Me?"
What?
Something is...
"...tei!"
I look at Elle and the others as the Shinigami gets closer, they're trying to call me but I can't hear their voices.
"You're asking me who I am?"
...
"The only question you should ask yourself is..."
...
"Who are you?"
My mind falls blank.
As if it were a play acting on its own, the Shinigami holds a Scythe to my neck.
"How should I kill you, little Dreamer?"
My body feels light.
The Shinigami strokes the scythe up and down my body.
"Here?"
I feel thirsty, I look at the Shinigami's body as if I were longing for it.
How tender it is...
The Shinigami laughs and swings his scythe.
"Die!"
Elle calls out to me, but it's useless.
Everything seemed as if it were happening in slow motion.
His scythe and his movements were slow.
So slow, that I seemed to disappear for a moment.
Before I realise it, I am behind him.
The Shinigami widens his eyes in shock and stares back at me.
"What did you just do?!" his eyes demand an explanation.
But I feel an urge.
I feel myself glaring.
I want to kill him.
"You? A God?"
My voice is coming out on it's own as if someone else were talking through me.
I raise my head to face the Shinigami, who now seems to back away from me.
I find myself glaring ferociously at him, he looks so small and tender.
His expression is twisted, but it's not excitement...
It's fear.
You're viewing the story through the eyes of the protagonist; he awakes to find himself in a strange world beyond the human imagination and how he manages to make his way through it.
