Last God

I look at the thing. It's a mix of every god and animal. It looks horrible if I am being fully honest. I don't know how to describe it. There are designed on it from all of the gods and it has every animal head I can think of and more just everywhere on it. It looks like a child made it. I point my gun at it, ready to fire at it but I don't know where to hit. It's huge. This is going to take a while to kill and I am alone which makes this worse.. "What do you mean? What truth do you want to know?"

"You said that you would promise to keep your boyfriend safe no matter what."

Boyfriend? What boyfriend? I haven't ever dated anyone." I don't have a boyfriend."

"So the male that you were basically cuddling with isn't your boyfriend."

"Everett? No. We aren't dating." Does it look like we are dating? I mean I wouldn't hate it if we were.

"Could have fooled me or anyone really, but that's not the point. I'm not here to talk about whether or not you are dating. You said that you would do anything to keep him safe, did you not?"

"I didn't say anything out loud but yes. What about it?" I shouldn't be surprised that he knows but that is kind of creepy.

"I want you to prove it."

"How? And why?"

"Well since you and your little family killed my gods, you need to go out there, confess your feelings to your boyfriend and then choose who in your family to make what god."

This is a lot. I could risk ruining my relationship with them. What if they hate me after this? "And if I don't?"

"I will kill all of them."

I just freeze up its words. I stay quiet for a minute. I can't do this to them. That is the opposite of why I am here. How would they feel about this? This could ruin everything. I mean if I tell them then maybe it would be better but it is still going to mess things up. The amount of responsibility that they would have would most likely be literally about this world. I can't just give them that amount of responsibility. If I ask them then maybe it would go over better but still and they would have to keep that a secret. But at the same time, I can't have them die. I would be alone then and I wouldn't have kept my promise. "I'll do it." I finally say.

"Good."

I am back into the living room. Everyone looks up at me. They seem worried. What did I miss? Suddenly they all hug me tight, all but Everett. Everett just looks at me in disbelief. I go to speak but Everett speaks first.

"We heard everything, even your thoughts."

Now I know why, I look at him in shock but also slightly disappointed in myself. "Please don't be mad at me. After all, I just agreed to something big without talking to you guys and now you know that I have loved you for a while."

"I'm not mad but in shock. I never thought you would like me or promise to keep me safe."

"I'm not mad at you. You were doing what it sounded like was needed to keep us safe." Lukus says as Hope agrees. 

"I'm glad you guys aren't mad at me for making such a big decision for you guys and Everett I did make that promise, but you can just ignore that. I'm sure this can work as a confession and I don't need to say it out loud again but you don't need to accept my confession or anything."

"I'm not going to ignore that you love me too."

"Wait? Too? What do you mean too?"

"Yes, too. I never told you as I thought it would be weird. After all, we have known each other for years and I have a kid from my last ex but you have always cared for me, no matter what."

"I didn't realize. I find it a little ironic that after your last ex I fell for you and it seems like you did too or well that is when it became more clear to me."

"Clearly. That is a bit ironic and I did fall for you then."

"As much as I would like to talk about this more, and maybe start dating, I should deal with the second part I have to do, which is choosing who becomes what god before whatever I was talking to gets impatient."

"Can we choose? I want to choose. Being a god sounds so cool." Hope looks up at me excited.

"I guess you can but I don't know what gods there are." Right as I say this, a paper and pen appears in my hand. There are three gods with one sentence written on it that reads, "Write the name next to them, then it is done, and you will be given my job." I don't really like that but otherwise they will get hurt and I can't have that.

"Uncle M. What is that?"

"Well this is the list I have to choose from."

"What is there?"

"Life, death, and time."

"I want life. I want to make things." Hope starts jumping up and down.

"Alright. Lukus, what do you want?'

Lukus pauses for a moment as if to think about his options. "I don't want to see anyone die so time." I can see how nervous he is.

"Don't worry kiddo. I will do my best to help you out."

"Thank you so much dad."

"Of course. So Everett, are you alright to take death?"

"Yes, I am. I have seen it enough times to be good with seeing it more."

I write down their names on the paper with the pen. Then names glow a bit for a second before I see them all pass out and then everything goes white for me.
