Guardian of Souls - Sara Casalino
Chapter 1
T hat’s strange,
I frowned. I was in the middle of a clearing, surrounded by forest. It was the night of the full moon. I had just finished sending the day’s departed souls into the Afterlife, but something was off. I drew the scythe closer to me and peered into the diamond on top. A dark shadow shimmered inside.
As Guardian of Souls, it was my job to release the departed souls into the Afterlife each night. But today, one tiny soul was still waiting inside the scythe’s diamond.
This had never happened before, and I wasn’t sure what had caused it. Could there be something wrong with the scythe? If so, there wasn’t anyone I could bring it too, since this job wasn’t something I shared with others. They wouldn’t have believed me, anyway. The only person I could contact about this was my uncle, the previous Guardian, but he was dead and I didn’t want to disturb him. Sometimes he spoke to me in dreams, but lately those meetings had become less frequent.
As the scythe powered down, the soul popped out of the diamond and became life-size once more.
I stared after it, wondering what to do. It seemed to regard me for a few moments, and I noted that it was shivering with what seemed to be fear. It turned to leave.
The wind picked up just then, and I pushed the strands of hair out of my face.
Wait!
I called out, but the soul vanished away into the forest, along with the wind.
I LIVED ALONE IN THE small house my uncle had gifted me. I’d been considering getting a roommate or two, but I liked my solitude. And I didn’t want anyone to find out about my side job as Guardian. That’s just not something you can tell your friends. Imagine if I directly told them: By the way, I’m the grim reaper! They do exist!
They’d think I were crazy and would very likely recommend a psychologist.
Only one person knew my secret, and that was Ruben. We used to be pretty close a few months ago, but after we both started college, we just sort of drifted apart. We were pursuing different fields and so we
