TAINTED

POV 1/2

After 9 months of waiting in darkness Death finally saw light,

"it's a boy"

Death was confused about what he was hearing, the souls don't have a gender, it was only a thing in the mortal world which Death didn't knew about.

And the time passed by and Death saw the child doing all sorts of thing it was interesting, he felt parents love, he felt all sorts of emotions again, but the only thing which was bugging him that what the child was doing was not what the soul wanted to do he wasn't in control of the body it seemed that the soul was barely able to maintain its consciousness.

Death was in deep thinking that does it happens with every person? Or this soul had some kind of problem with it.

After few more years when the boy turned 7 the soul finally regained its consciousness and it was a relief for Death but from the start it thought that it was not fair to control the body so he never tried to control it instead after he assured himself that the soul is completely awake it hid its presence and sealed itself inside the boy, which formed a mark in his chest which if was crimson red colour.

As days passed on the soul started getting tainted by the deeds the boy did he started building ego inside him he started thinking that everyone is below him and the most surprising part was that it wasn't the soul which was thinking this, instead it was an another thing it was a part of his body which thought this but the soul was getting affected by it, the pure soul's thoughts were changing now it started to think the same as the brain , before the pure soul tried to talk to the boy but it was of no use the boy ignored the pure voice deep inside him , Death seeing this realized many things that if the soul wanted it could've used more pressure and could've made the boy to stop it but it didn't do it.

Soon after more years passed by and then one day at night the soul left the boy's body out to explore this world and returned in the next morning just before the boy woke up, Death also wanted to leave and see this world but he already sealed himself

"Maybe one day if this seal could be undone somehow I would be able to visit this whole world too"

He regretted his own decision now.

Soon the boy was 11 year old and he decided that now he would stop cursing and would never use any of those words again but soon after when someone angered him he didn't spoke it but deep down his soul was using those words and he could clearly hear that voice inside him.

The soul was tainted now but it wasn't beyond repair it can heal itself easily and Death knew that he was born as a human so he wasn't worried much because average life span of a human was near 79 years.

now he looked forward to what would happen in the future
