I got family,friends

Maybe I heard it wrong. You know, after death my hearing could've gotten weird or I could be hallucinating because of the medication they gave me, you know anything could be true.

'yes, now Angela and I will be in the other room, please call us if any emergency.' intimated the doctor and simply left the room with Angela waving goodbye to me.

I don't want to talk to anyone but Angela right now. It's just calming to talk to her. But maybe this prince is the same as her. He also has beautiful pastel wings with a warm smile on his face and gives free hugs when you're down. Yes, maybe he's here to cheer me up!

that thought quickly faded away the moment I saw him. He was leaning across the doorway with crossed arms observing me quietly.

His appearance made me anxious. He had short, black hair with a full fringe and black eyes as dark as night. His dragon tattoo was partly visible at the back of his neck. Not only that, but he also had a silver piercing on his right ear.

He had thick black wings spreading both sides. It was small and barely visible. I wished to see how it will be when it's spread like when the doctor did.

He looks like a total punk! there is no way he's a cupid!

I stood up shakily and greeted him respectfully as I can. I tried to bow but my back hurts when I bend down.

the only thing 'royal' about him are his neat suit and tie and that strong musk. He was also wearing a crown which I noticed much later.

He approached me calmly. But somehow he was super calm even if he had a big frown across his face.

'Lie back down. This is just an informal meeting. I would've kept my identity quiet but even then it would just be too obvious am I right?' he grinned.

yeah sure dude, whatever you say.

I just nodded and lied back down. 'why did you want to meet me then?' I asked. So no warm hugs. And I thought the doctor was intolerable.

'I wanted to discuss a few things about your role in the society now that you're dead. You're memory has already been erased and you must know that we don't talk about that anymore. There are a few more things you should have basic knowledge of and I'm here to tell you that.'

'okay.' I agreed. but it's a bit weird for a prince to come and give me basic lessons. And he's not even a cupid.

'but...you're not a cupid?'

He sighed and nodded vigorously. 'No, and that is another thing you don't go asking people about.' he declared.

I nodded and regretted asking it.

'oh sorry. I'm just curious why you want to give me lessons. You are a prince, and I thought.'

'true, normally a guidance counselor will do all that but some have no absolute common knowledge of what's going on around them and get in trouble because of that. thus, it's my duty to impart basic knowledge to my people. Not only that, you will get basic lessons from me from now on till you're ready to go to a normal institution.'

I didn't know what to say. Is he going to teach me the basics??

'today you will learn a few things about where you are. the man there is the head doctor and he is a fire angel. You will learn more about them on oncoming lessons. this is the institution that receives and transforms souls which belong neither in heaven nor hell. That's mostly teenagers and people who didn't enjoy their lives by doing any actions.'

'so, I am one of those people?'

He looked at me with his deep, dark eyes and for a minute, everything stopped moving. it was scary. I was frozen in fear, not passion.

He then quickly turned away and apologized.

'My apology, I got distracted by your pink eyes for a moment there.' he added.

My cheeks went red. I have to admit, I was flattered and prideful when he said that. But I don't know his standards so...whatever.

'it's fine, but you didn't answer my question.'

'yes, you are one of them.' he said frantically.

'...ok'

'then you need to know some common names used. You are light and we are in the Ahavian cupid region, the land of love.' he flinched when he said Ahava. I wonder if I should ask him why.

'region?'

'there are plenty of others'

'like?'

'it's a lesson for another day.' he grinned.

I got a bit annoyed by his secrecy. I just wanted to know information and he just skipped it. What a lazy person.

He took out a piece of paper and wrote down something. then he folded it in half and handed it to me. I eagerly took it from his hand and unfolded it. I admired his handwriting. It was neat and evenly distributed across the whole page. But it made it harder for me to read under the dim hospital light and my blurry vision.

I squinted my eyes very hard so that it was visible. It was a name and some name of a castle. Are we playing the noun game? That was the only thing I can remember from my human life, the noun game. yeah, very useful indeed. I wonder if they left it on purpose.

'what is this?' I questioned.

'Why, you really are clueless, m'lady. It's my name and the location we are supposed to meet at, let me know when you get discharged, you can come to the location directly once you are well.'

I scowled when he called me clueless but now I realized it was pretty obvious.

'Okay, thank you. it was a pleasure meeting you, sir'

'no, call me by my name.' he piped.

'okay then, it was a pleasure meeting you, James.' I smiled and he grinned back.

'now rest up. I need to clear some things up with the head.'

'I will, James. goodbye.'

He left the room abruptly leaving just me and my thoughts.

I wondered if I would be allowed to call him that if our meeting was informal. Anyway, it's a big risk and I'll just call him sir or your majesty the next time I meet him.

I closed my eyes and wondered how our lessons will be like for the upcoming months.
