Cornelius smiled and led her to a room with a four poster bed, a dresser that had a change of clothes laid out on top of it, a desk, and a large mirror. He exited and left Erica to her own devices.
Erica looks around the room, nodding then to the dresser where the clothes where. She holds it up and examins it. She then drops her hands and sighs
Meanwhile, Death was twirling a pen in his fingers, it was almost as if he was stressed. Cornelius walked into Death's mile-high mile-wide office with a tray of tea. "WHAT IS THE EMOTION CALLED? THE ONE WHERE YOU'RE FULL OF REGRET, WHERE YOU WISH THINGS HAD GONE DIFFERENTLY, WHERE YOU FEEL HOPELESSLY LOST IN THE METAPHORICAL DARK?" Death asked. "I'd say sadness, sir. Now, about that gir-" Cornelius said, but he was interrupted. "I AM SADNESS." Death said. "Sir, I don't think you should be-" but he was interrupted again. "YOU WERE ASKING ABOUT THE GIRL, CORRECT?"
"Yes sir, but what about-"
"I HAVE APPRENTICED HER, AS YOU KNOW."
"Yes, I know, but-"
"MAKE SURE SHE DOESN'T WANDER OFF INTO TROUBLE."
"She couldn't possibly get lost here, I mean-"
"GOOD. BUT SOON SHE WILL BE WONDERING ABOUT THINGS NO MORTAL SHOULD WONDER ABOUT."
"Well, that's not really a big problem innit? Even you get like that sometimes. Don't worry-"
"I'M SERIOUS."
"You can rely on me, sir."
"GOOD. WE CANNOT HAVE HER UNRAVELING THE UNIVERSE AT IT'S SEAMS."
"Right you are, sir." Cornelius sighed, walking out of the room.
Meanwhile Erica had somehow tied her fingers up in her new clothes.
There was a knock on Erica's door.
"Im not home!" She jumps and tries to untie her hands (I was thinking something like this https://www.pinterest.com/pin/740842207427485470/ But Idk… If its too modern then nvm)
(Yeah I can't see the pin)
"You're lying. Saying you aren't there when I can hear you quite clearly is a little bit foolish. Anyways, I just wanted to meet you. Father says that you're apparently very talented and that you are gifted with intelligence and wisdom or something." a boy's voice said.

(Yeah, that looks epic.)
"Father? No!"
(Ok cool!)
"No what?" the voice asked.
"Go away! Whatever you want or whoever you are! I dont need help!"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you."
Erica was low key freaking out for no reason.
"Are you alright?" the voice asked.
"No!" She barks to herself as she struggles with the corset part
"I could help you if you want?"
"Uh…" She had it all hooked and all that but was now just trying to tie it off
"Or should I go? I'm sorry if I offended you in any way."
(Wait who is that?)
(You shall see… okay so I'm bored and wanted to add in a few OCs, he's basically the adopted son of Death. Or at least that's what I'm going for.)
(Ok! What does he look like? Or am I going to find that out too XD)
Erica ties the ribbon at the back into a simple note and opens the door, "What?!" Her hood wasnt on at the moment.
(He's tall with ivory white hair, olive green eyes, an unearthly pale skin tone, and a very small birthmark that resembles a star on his right cheek.) "So, your name's Erica, right?" he asked.
(Ok cool)
Erica makes a face at him, "Yeah. And who are you?" She snaps
"Gabriel, Gabe for short." he said.
"Well. Isnt that convenient…" She had made the connection with the angle Gabriel.
"You're thinking I'm some sort of angel or something, aren't you." he frowned.
"I never said that and no." She barks walking past him down the hall
