Chapter 1
On the 31st of October, 1981, a young boy and his parents were brought to death’s realm to cross over.
This wasn’t out of the ordinary for death, considering just how many people die every day. What was strange was the little boy who died, or rather didn’t.
The boy who somehow crossed over to his realm, was so alive. Seemingly more alive than everyone he met in the realm of the living, but the question is how?
He’s not even 2 years old, so why is he so alive? No ritual on earth can do something like this, and he got hit by an Avada Kedavra for goodness sake! Why does he feel like the embodiment of life, when Death has met life before?!
But, it doesn’t matter, since he shouldn’t be here. He also reeks of dark magic, specifically in his scar. Dark, vile magic. Something that puts dark wixen in a bad light. A horcrux.
Death took the soul piece from the boys scar out, healing the wound as it reopened. The soul piece was in no way shape or form alive, but the little boy was. He definitely was.
He lead the soul piece down into his realm. He went back to the little boy and picked him back up in his pale arms.
“You’re strange, child. Try not to die for a long time. You shouldn’t come back here until you truly die and are ready to move on to the great beyond.” The boy laughed softly at that, which is a strange reaction to death, but nonetheless laughed.
Death brought him back into the land of the living, settling his soul back into his body. The boy woke up, and reached his arms out at death.
Not many things surprise death, but the boy still seeing him did. Perhaps it’s because he has been in death's realm, just not beyond quite yet. Perhaps he will never know. But death needs to go back to leading souls beyond, so he simply left the child when people broke into the house. Perhaps the people will help the child and give him a home, or maybe they will try to harm him too. Only time will tell, and he will know when he comes into death’s realm in due time.
He didn’t go back to death’s realm when he should have died.
He did when he was 4 years old.
