19 Hour Glass and Death (1/2)

Azrael grabs Anna's hand and they run away.

”Let's get out of here” He said to Anna while he's trying to get away with the reaper that shows behind Anna.

Upon looking behind while they are still running away, Azrael noticed that the reaper is already gone.

Anna asked him why he suddenly grabs her arm and run away.

He just said to her that he saw something strange and she cannot understand it even if he explained it to her.

Then Anna look at the place where they stopped and she saw a bridge and told Azrael to stop running.

She went through that bridge and look at the river.

The water is sparkling because of the replication of the stars above through the water.

Azrael also look the bridge and seriously asked Anna a question.

”Tell me, did you do bad things before?”

Anna: ”Why did you asked?”

Azrael: ”Because to be honest with you, I can determine if a certain people is good or bad.”

Anna: ”If what you are saying is true, then can you tell me if I am good or bad?”

Azrael: ”You are a good person! But it seems that you were hiding something.”

Anna: ”How can you say that I'm hiding something?”

Azrael: ”I can't explain. I can just feel them.”

Azrael felt the same energy that he felt before while talking with Anna.

In her shadows, a creature is slowly coming out and it turns out to be a reaper that's been following them since they were inside the cafe.

Azrael grabs Anna from her shoulders and told her to hide behind his back.

But only Azrael can see the reaper and Anna was wondering why Azrael is acting strange.

The reaper stops for a bit and looked at Azrael then speak.

”Master, this is my task that you gave me. I'm just following your command.” Said the reaper.

”How did I give you this task? Can you explain to me?” Azrael replied and thinking about the command that the reaper said.

The reaper reaches his arm and an hourglass appeared on his hands.

The hour glass have a cross at the bottom and the sand is almost full.

Only few remaining sands are still at the top and maybe just some few minutes it will be all at the bottom.
