Chapter 1
It was a nice day Ashley was walking through the hallways of the Pierriel castle. They were bright paintings on the walls of beautiful land. It was Ashley‘s favorite place to go. “ oh, this place is so beautiful.” exclaimed Ashley, on her brakes she would come here just to walk and enjoy the paintings for the word many places like the drawings and paintings up in the sky there was no grass just clouds there were no trees just birds there were no beautiful beautiful homes of bees and butterflies oh how she would love to go down on earth and see all the beauties the earth hold hold. She had only been on earth a couple times for she was a healer you see and healers don’t always get to go down to earth mainly the slashers do that. The only time that she had ever gone down on earth was when it was her turn to go and find out who they were supposed to heal or make sick. The one time that she got to go down she said nothing but the hustling bustling city she did not like the city she wanted to see the country but no she had to go down to the city when will people ever learn she thought that the beauty nurse is not nowhere near the city forts in the country with a beautiful birds sing in church with the beautiful songs oh yes that is the prettiest of places in the whole world acres and acres of grass and trees and butterflies the flowers oh it’s just wonderful she thought again. All the sudden Ashley bumped into something papers went flying, ouch she heard “oh, I am quite sorry” apologized Ashley “I was not looking where I was going that was very rude of me” “it’s quite alright” set a boy she never seen before. “May I get your name”she asked politely “my name is soul that is my name and you cannot call me anything else” replied the boy “oh I see I’ll just get along now then” Ashley said she hurried along through the hallway. ‘Soul what an interesting name’ she thought.
Ashley knocked on a door. The door was covered with keep out signs and a nasty drawings. This was the home of her brother Tod. Tod was a slasher he wasn’t the nicest person but he was all right. “Yes” said Tod through the door “it’s me” called Ashley. Tod nudge the door a little bit creaked open with a loud bang. “What do you need” ask tod in a rude tone “I just want to say hi” “oh really you just wanted to say hi” “of course I just wanted to say hi, but I also need to ask you a favor ,do you know anyone named soul in the slashers group?” “You know I really don’t think so I mean there’s a guy named Bob and the guy named ted but I haven’t heard of anyone named soul” oh that’s too bad I ran into him when I was walking through the pier your castle do you have anything for dinner I have a ton of my house if you need something no I’m good, I’ll let you know if I see a guy name so around the hallway you know he may be part of the death holders group” “maybe he is I’m not sure though I mean he was wearing a black robe and haven’t seen many people wearing black robes except for the death holders.” “Yeah I don’t know many people who are in the death holders group so you may not have to ask someone else” “OK well I better get going the bell is going to ring soon and I don’t want to be late” “what do you mean well us healers have a curfew we can go to so many places in the plant building that they don’t want us going there during the night so they make us be on a curfew so you know I have to get back before the curfew bell rings” “OK well bye I guess see you tomorrow for the races” “oh yeah I forgot about the races maybe that guy seol will be at the races tomorrow” “well if he is you better ask him some questions ha ha” “very funny well bye I have to get to sleep see you later” “bye”
{And they’re going} “hey have you seen the guy seol yet” “no and why are you so late I’ve already gone through round one and two and they’re doing the third one right now” “yeah sorry I was late it’s kind of hard to get from the healer’s temple to hear especially this early in the morning” “yeah well it’s not very hard for me do you know how close the slashers Temple is from here” “yeah yeah you say it every time it’s only 1 mile away and only takes you one minute to get here which I really doubt it” “ thats right one mile in one minute. did you have to stop somewhere before you got here because the round one and two on the fastest rounds you know” “I know I did actually stop somewhere I had to get some food for my dorm and then my dorm mate decided she was going to stay home all day and work some healing things and she need me to pick up some more things at the store for her and I was like what the heck I just was there but you know I did anyway of the kindness of my heart or whatever” “well that’s nice my door made does nothing but sniff and growled at a time he’s a real big meanie who do you think put up all those signs on the door” “oh I thought it was you” “Ha mom would kill me if I did that” “hey look over there that’s the same guy I ran into yesterday” “who?” “Saw the guy named soul” “yeah right you couldn’t see him from over here is way over there in those bleachers” “how did you see him Mr. I can’t see far away” “OK OK I get it” Ashley grabbed her coat and start a dash from this side to that side she’s Sumter coat write down where the guy name soul “huh” said soul looking up from his book. “Hi again” Said Ashley “what are you doing hair” ask soul “oh nothing much, just wondering are you in the death holders group” “why a matter of fact I actually am, but what does that have to do with you” “well you see remember when I ran into you in the hallway yesterday” “yes of course I remember it hurt a lot” “yeah sorry about that but what I meant was what were you doing in the hallway so far away from the death holders temple” “I was collecting some papers what were you doing there” “I live right next to there I walk through it every night before the curfew bell rings it’s such a pretty walk isn’t it” “I guess but why did you need to ask me if I was a death holder ,you have could just sent me a letter you know” “I would rather speak in front of people specially since we live on one giant cloud instead of down on the ground” “I would rather you just sent me a letter well” “OK Mr. next time I will send you a letter I will send you multiple letters so many that you can’t even hold all of them inside your dorm” “I don’t think my roommate would like that very much” “who cares about your roommate, you just made wrong decisions getting on my bad side” with a grunt Ashley stood up pulling her jacket off of the bleachers and stopping her way back to where her brother was. “Well how did it go” asked Todd “horrible he’s so rude I don’t even know how he could be so rude” explained Ashley “and the way he looks at you it’s like he’s trying to kill you with his eyes I just hate death holders they’re just so uggggggg” “that doesn’t sound very good” “and I asked him questions and he was like why are you asking me questions and I was like because I want answers it’s just so hard talking to death holders they’re always like so caught up in their mind about who they want to kill or who they don’t want to kill and it’s just kind of disgusting” “I mean you kind of help them in away by making people sick and healing other people” “yeah well I don’t like helping them but I do like my job but I don’t like that I’m helping them and his name is so misleading it’s like he doesn’t even have a soul but his name is Soul, it’s so weird” “yeah, well people can do that sometimes like my name is Tod and that’s a horrible name if you ask me I mean not completely horrible but it doesn’t suit me at least but sometimes I get people who tell me oh you’re Todd that makes no sense you don’t look like Todd, well I am thank you very much it’s just how some people are their parents decide a name for them that doesn’t really suit them very well unlike you” “so he just does not have a name that fits him maybe he’s just trying to hide the fact that he has a sore side of him I’m not sure what’s up with him but I’m going to figure it out”. Just Than loud boom sound Like an earthquake shook the bleachers “what’s going on” yelled Ashley “mabey just an earthquake” “we don’t get earthquakes here where on a giant cloud in the sky maybe that giant bomb has to do with it” “of course it does hey look theirs a portal that just opened and it's coming from the underworld!” “Underworld attacking us were so kind to them, well not hell, but we are kind of heaven” “I know I know. Its just they shouldn’t be attacking us” “well it looks like the guy who’s leading it is the Grim Reaper‘s brother!” “This is horrible where all going to die and we’re all going to go to the underworld” “shut up brother we can’t die unless someone physically tries to kill us and I guess that’s exactly what he’s doing, well he’s not gonna kill all of us, hurry up let’s grab our stuff and leave” crack bang boom crack “this is horrible this is absolutely horrible” whispered Ashley as they ran to safety.
