The Debt
The rain lashes the girls back, lying down on the beach, despite the torrents of rain. Lightning cracks, but she stays outside. Her face would be wet by itself as she weeps over the life that she lost. "It's time," a voice says. The girl freezes, and the entire world seems to fall silent. "It's time, girl." "For what?" Her voice comes out, shattered and hollow. "You have a debt to pay." "So it's really you. . ." she murmured. "If I recall correctly, I have no history of the sort, not of what you're looking for." "If I recall correctly," the man snarls, "Your sisters soul is now parted in two halves, one of the earth, and one of the afterlife. And you, if indeed my sources are correct, could have changed that. You have a debt to pay, and no man can escape it forever." There was an eerie silence as tears seeped from the girls face. Would she have really risked her own life to save her sister's? Yes, but fear had taken over. She had jumped off the street when the bus came and could only feebly call out to her, voice drenched in the pain of what she knew was going to happen. "It's time to pay your debt, girl." Her entire body felt the weakest it ever had, and the girls body emanated a blackish light. A broken scream entered her sisters reality, and that was the end of that girls life. . . well, the life she had been living.
Two nights after, she was plagued with wretched nightmares so awful that they would be impossible to describe in words. When she woke that morning, every human being she saw was surrounded in a halo of color; some purple, some red, some blue, some green. Thoughts swarmed her, some clearly not her own. Her head pounded with all the different thoughts swimming around, and she could hardly think straight. She could see souls of the broken, those who never made it to heaven, roaming the grounds of earth. Worst of all, she could see her sister. She could talk to her, but she would never answer.
So what is the debt? The debt is when someone could've saved a life, but didn't because of fear in the face of danger. The man that she saw was Sehktor, keeper of lost souls. When people die and they could've been saves, he places a plauge on them as a debt to the person that died. The debt is meant to give three factors of emotion: Pain, Grieving, and Guilt.They see people with auras, which predict how close they are to death. This punishment shows that if that person had just seen the aura then, they would've been able to save the person that died. This is supposed to burden that person with guilt. They hear the thoughts of others, which is supposed to represent how they could've felt the victims fear in the moment of death. This is burden someone with pain. And when the vicitm of the debt sees lost souls, they are burdened with grieving because they know that there were so many people that you could've saved, including the victim of the death you "caused". Only one out of a thousand people have been cursed with The Debt, but lately, the rate has gone up. Why? Because the curse has been passed on through a romantic relationship. In other words, if you kiss someone with The Debt, then you'd instantly be infected with it as well.
