Olivia's POV-
Two AM- middle of forest-
-Another day, another death, I'm eleven and a half for goodness sakes, give me a break.-
'Where is that little soul, oh where can they be- oh.' My thoughts were disrupted by crying just up ahead. A little girl, no older than five, crying in the graveyard I was headed towards in front of the grave of her grandmother who had died only a day before her fifth birthday.
"Why hello there, are you sad that your poor grandma died before you could turn five?" The little girl nodded while her tears still were falling fast as a waterfall. "Would you like me to bring back your dear granny?" He snapped his fingers and a metal skeleton rose from the ground.
"Y-you *hic* can- can re- *hic* really d-do that?" The Earl nodded, with his grin as wide as it always was.
"Just call out to your dear granny's soul for her to return, and she'll be back to see you all grown up." The girl was hesitant, but she nodded.
(A/n crrriiinnngggeee warning!!!!)
"London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down." I sang in an almost impossibly quiet whisper. My body collapsed to the ground as I was now in my souls' body, this didn't go unnoticed by the Earl. In the creation of the last few Akuma, he noticed a strange figure nearby, this time he would see who it was.
"London bridge is falling down, falling down," I sang walking closer to the girl as she cried out the name of her dear grandmother. "falling down. London bridge is falling down," I sang covering her eyes before she got stabbed by the newly born Akuma, I leaned closer to her and whispered softly into her ear just before she died, "My fair lady."
I pulled her soul out of her body as the Akuma started to put on her old body's skin. I turned her to face away from the scene and took her hand, I slowly started to walk, towards a tree near the graveyard with her soul walking along with me.
As we reached the tree I let go of her hand to take out a key. Once I got the key I held it out and turned it in a door unlocking motion, upon the unlocking of the door, a light shone through the cracks of it. The little girl looked towards me giving me a questioning look.
"I cant open the door little girl, could you please open it for me?" The little girl just stood there for a moment and decided to open the door. After opening the door, she looked at me with another look of question. "Please go through the door, it would make me very happy if you did." She looked sad, I didn't know why, maybe it was because I was so kind, or maybe she wanted to see her mother and father.
"Will you come with me?" That was saddening, to say at the least, a little girl wanting a stranger who was a bit nice to her to go to a strange new place with her. I smiled at her, and shook my head.
"I'm sorry little girl, but I can't go right now, I still have some things to do, I'll see you later okay?" The girl seemed satisfied that she could see me again and nodded. When she was almost through she said to me something, a thank you, I think, but I couldn't hear her.
I touched the door and it disappeared into cherry blossoms and flew away into the wind. I sighed and walked back to my body, I merged back into it and slowly regained control after a moment or two. I slowly got up and started to walk away but before I could, I was stopped by someone talking to me,
"Wait just a minute young child, I would like to talk to you."
