On swift wings she came,
To grasp your hand and take you away.
Not a single soul knows her name,
Though as she appears, all hearts tremble with a fearful sway.
Some call her cruel and cold,
while others welcome her gift.
She is there, nonetheless, dark and bold,
embracing you as the worlds shifts.



The Story

An enigma, a random card, one that alters a person's life into extremes of ends. The one they fear, the one they tremble from. The Lady of Death.

She takes to the skies, water, and ground in search of those who're damned. Carrying with her her gigantic "Silencer of Time". It's been too long and she searches around to resurrect the four horsemen of the Apocolyse. Without a glance of life nor fear in her face she searchs through time. Slipping back and fourth into it.

Death's first stop was at the place many people thought were safe from her, the Cathedral. There on the floor she looks down at the body of a women wearing a bride's dress. The body showed bullet holes pierced through the head. It was the body of Bridget Travis. Death kneeled down before the body in the holy place and left a rose by her side and wisped away what was left of her Desperate soul.

After this, Death makes her way through the country side and passed a field where she suddenly hears the crash and crunch of a car. She walked over to the wreckage only to find a very professional looking women with a metal scythe through her head. Rowena Richardson's poor head of knowledge was completely torn through. With this, Death leaves her with a little piece of rememberance. The black rose.

Death begins her journey until she spies a huge mansion like house out in the Country side. There she meets a little girl by the name of Annie Chen. Annie seemed very afraid and alone. Death then decides to show her the brilliant light of lightning. This frightend the little girl, so Death decides to leave, leaving one of her roses behind with the little girl.

The night grew on as Death made her way through time and place. She pasted by a house that look completely empty and lonely by itself. She then entered through the walls only to discover the body of Gwendolin Liel on the floor bleeding out her mouth. "This large girl must've had a painful life as well as death" she thought, as she noticed the last few things that were in her hands were blades. Death slips a Rose in her hand and continues again.

The sun begins to appear, and death just continues on. People tend to think that she only appears at night, but thats all out of false belief. She decided to stop by a tent where she kept hearing loud music coming out of it. It was a rave that was winding down. She peeked into the tent and immediately caught the lifeless eyes of Karen Pham. Karen seemed to have been dead for countless hours and there was a girl that was sitting next by her looking completely drugged out. Death through one of her roses at Tina and it landed in her pocket.

She began her journey through the heat of the day crossing through a desert plain. At first glance she thought she saw a scarecrow, but then she took a second thought. what would a scarecrow be doing out in the middle of the desert? She made her way to the cactus and there laid what was left of what was supposed to be Elizabeth Warren. Death wrapped her arms around the girl and stuffed a rose into her camouflage outfit. With that a picture fell out of her pocket. Death picked it up and saw an image of Elizabeth very happily being held by a man.

As she began towards the outskirts of a city and she fell beneath a hospital floor. There she discovered Nancy Kane in a dreadful mess of emotions and regret. Nancy stared up at Death with fear in her eyes, but behind that fear was a pain that over came it. Death handed Nancy a rose in one hand and a scalpel in the other. "Do as you may please Nancy, and we'll make a deal later." With this, Death went back up to the surface and floats across the city streets watching the sun return to darkness.

The screams and cries could be heard echoing through the air. There was one scream in particular that caught Death's attention. By the time she could track it down, the screaming had stopped. It was inside of a house where things looked too familiar to Death. She walked around seeing the pictures of Nancy Kane and her husband. "That man? Didn't that Elizabeth girl take a picture with him?" She walked around in the house and stumbled upon the body of Lita Ching. There was a large ammount of blood lost between her legs. Death looked at Lita and left her with something to hold on to.

Death's time grew weary and she became tired of looking for these souls. She stopped by an apartment in which she spotted had an open window. Not even needing to take a second look, she saw the body of Regina Li tied up on a chair. The face wasn't intact, but that didn't matter to Death. She Left a rose in between the ropes and began to walk back towards the window. Suddenly she picked up a werid smell coming from the room next to her. She walked inside and found the decapitated body and head of Joanna Lin. How sad, but lucky was Death to find two different bodies in one place. She picked up the head and held it face to face with her. She took a rose, and placed it on her own mouth and then kissed Joanna's lips with it.

Death made one last stop near a camp fire area where it looked completely abandoned. She paced herself around and watched as all the men in that camp run out with there weapons and off to fight. Behind all that though was something that looked like a potato sack on the floor. She reached down to pick it up , only to find out it was the body of Ms. Mary Huntington. Death grabbed her aged face and crushed half of it reforming the two sides of her face to look different. With this she left a rose.

Death returned to the City and stood on the top of a sky scraper looking out at the city. "i need one more, and this one has to resemble the twins." She then summoned Travesty, Vanity, and Solitude to accompany her on her search for twins. The three of them went to a rave that night and Death found what she needed to complete her collection, that final touch was Cindy and Mindy Taylor. She approached one of them and handed the girl a new type of "E" that was supposed to be a really good high. Being the naive druggie the girl was, she took it without question. Death watched the girl return to the crowds and slowly waved good bye.

All the other 12 girls have been found and Death stands atop the skyscrapers again. She looks down at all the scurrying people beneath her. Either they were in a rush, slacking off, commiting crimes, saveing lives, it all seemed the same to her. "not a single clue, do these people have of our exsistence. Ignorance does reign supreme here, doesn't it girls?" As she turned around, twelve other girls and women stood in line before her. "It's time to strike back mam" they replied. Plague, Travesty, War, Famine, Addiction, Angst, Deceit, Testament, Solitude, Vanity, Regret, and Desperation all stepped forward and then dissappeared. "yes, it is time to strike back...."
