The man broke in a heavy, loudly laughter. You could see he enjoyed the scared face of Liam.
'The Death?! That's impossible, death is a natural phenomen, not a person. This can't be true! This is just a dream, or rather a nightmare.' Liam's thoughts were confused . Again he looked around, surching for a way out but just like before, it wasn't there.
Liam tried to calm down and decided to ask only the most important questions.
'Does this mean I'm going to die?' Liam looked, with his blue-grey eyes, to the Death.
'That's possible but I'm here with an offer.' Death looked back with his staring eyes. Liam started to become curious, he wasn't only confused but he was also interested what Death had to offer.
'An offer?'
'Listen, even though I'm Death doesn't mean I don't know what peace is. When a human dies, he or she will be put in an eternal, peacefully sleep. But since I'm death itself I don't have any peace. That'w why I'm looking for help, with someone i can share this task.' Death's face hadn't changed anything yet. It looked like he had no emotions.
'And what is this task?' Asked Liam interested.
'This task is to send people to heaven or hell. You can decide when the time has come that a life should leave someones body.' Death knew Liam was interested, he could hear it in his voice.
'So I can kill people when I think the time is ready?' Liam knew this was a decision of life and death, literally.
'Yes but be warned, if you use this power for yourself, the concequenses won't be easy. Not only for the humanity your erasing but also for yourself. It's possible you'll be banned to hell, and believe me that's not what you want.' Death could read on Liam's face he was scared but he knew Liam hadn't much of a choise.
It was accepting or dying.
'I have to accept, I can't miss the ones I love. It's gonna be hard but this is how I can live further and protect my family and friends.' Liam thought.
He made his choise.
'I accept.' Liam straightened and looked at Death.
'Good, I knew I could count on you.' Death took a few steps and grabbed Liam's hand. Liam watched how the the cold, wrinkeld hands held his. His right hand was stuck between the Death's hands and watched how Death closed his eyes and casted a spell. The underside of his hand was now turned and started to burn. A scream escaped from Liam's mouth and pulled his hand back when Death let it go. He looked at his hand and saw a sign.
'What does it mean?' Liam asked while he rubbed it with the fingers of his other hand.
'It's a deathsign and it means soul.' Answered Death him.
Liam, who was watching his hand the whole time, closed his hand so you couldn't see the sign anymore.
'I've got one more question.' Liam stood more confident than first at the opposite of Death.
'How can I send someone to heaven or hell?'
'Ohw, that's not so difficult.' Death got that horrible smile again and walked to Liam's back. Death stretched his arm and let his hand rest on his back.
'When it's time, close your eyes. When you use this power, you'll return to this place with the victem. The victem will be confused, that's the moment you do the same as I'm doing right now. Go stand behind him, put your righthand on his back and concentrate on his soul. After that everything will go automatic. The first time it will be strange but after a while it's a piece of cake.' Death lost the grip of Liam's back and walked to the frond of him and put his hood on again.
'But be warned again, don't get obsessed with this power. Just like I said, the consequences are dangerous.' Repeated Death again.
'What's going to happen now?' Liam asked.
'Your will wake up in the hospital. You are able to make contact with me whenever you need me.' Liam nodded and looked to his hand. He wondered how to explain this sign to his parents and friends. He couldn't say it was a deathsign or something like that but if he was going to say it was a tattoo, his parents would go crazy.
'One last thing. A lot of accidents happens in the world. I can't be on two places at the same time.' Liam said.
'No worries, you work with me so that's half of work. And most of your work will be done in your sleep. So you don't have to be on spot. At night the one victem after another will be followed and the next day you won't be tired because it's mental work not physical.' Death laughed for the last time horribly.
'I got something for you.' Death grabbed something from a pocket in his slovenly, dark clothes. It was a necklace in form of a grave cross.
'When you need be yout got to grab this necklace with your righthand and concentrate on me. Before you know your on this place with me again.'
'Okay, thank you'
'Ohw and and one more thing, don't get all crazy when you wake up. Your wounds don't look so great and you broke your leg and a rib. So be prepaired.' After this being said, everything turned white and became more brighter. It was so bright that Liam couldn't see anything anymore and after that it was all black.
