 ‘Why isn’t there anyone in this bus’ cried Tyler. Cause its school tryouts, day replied Charlotte. On a Saturday, seriously?. ‘Yes and we are the only ones trying out loser’ said charlotte in a sarcastic way. Tyler is a fifteen-year-old tall red-haired boy and his twin sister Charlotte is also tall and has red hair but is much thinner. ‘Hey look Ava’s here ‘said Charlotte in an excited mood. Ava is a short blonde girl who is also fifteen years. Ava came strolling in with a wistful look on her face. ‘What happened to your face’ asked charlotte as Ava sat beside her. ‘yeah tell us Ava’ cried Tyler. ‘Could you please stop shouting in my face’ said charlotte. ‘I wasn’t talking to you’ cried Tyler And before they knew both of them started fighting. ‘my dad’s in the hospital’ said Ava which caused silence in the entire bus. ‘oh we are so sorry’ said charlotte. ‘well tell us what happened’ said Tyler in a polite manner. ‘He met an accident at Street fourteen’ said ava wiping a tear of her face. He’ll be okay said charlotte.

                                                                                                                                                               Two minutes later the bus driver cried ‘the everyday route to the school is blocked and there are other two routes to go which one shall we take?’.’ Let’s take the first one’ said Tyler. ‘But it’s a very long way to school’ said the bus driver. ‘Then let’s take the second one’ said charlotte. There was a deep silence when they were going to the new route. The new route consisted of huge factories on both sides of the road. ‘Whoa, how cool is that’ said Tyler.he was reading the factory signs and labels. Halfway through the street ava started yelling ‘ the factory is on fire the factory is on fire’. At first all of them thought she was joking then The driver quickly noticed and turned the bus to go back. But they noticed that all the other factories were on fire too. While they were going back another building collapsed blocking their way out of the route. Ava started calling help on her phone. She called nine one one and even calling her grandparents who were the only ones left in her family. But before they could turn back and go, a factory building collapsed and fell on them. Killing all four of them.

                                                                        Tyler, ava, and charlotte woke up on the ground in a deserted place. Charlotte was the first to wake up. She then woke up both of her friends. Tyler was the second to wake up and ava the third. Tyler politely said to his friends ‘where are we’. ‘ I think we are in……..street fourteen’ said ava. ‘It’s where my dad met with an accident’ she added. ‘But where is the bus driver’ said charlotte. ‘Are we dead’ said Tyler. ‘I have so many questions’ Tyler continued. Ava spotted an old green car. The three ran towards it. Ava recognized it right away and said ‘guys it’s my dad’s car, my grandpa gifted it to him when he was a teen. But ‘where is your dad’ charlotte added. All of them saw the collapsed car and the car’s front smashed and its glass is broken. ‘Astonishing isn’t it’ said a stranger from their back. The three of them were horrified when they saw who was behind them. The person behind them wore black and they could barely see his face, he was carrying an Azrael, he was the angel of death. ‘Are you the angel of death’ said Tyler. Before he could answer ava interrupted and said ‘where is my father?’. Death replied ‘sometimes the questions are the answers, Ava’. ‘Wait, how do you know our names’ said charlotte in a scared voice. Death said “I’m the angel of death I know everythi…” “WHERE IS MY  FATHER” shouted Ava. ‘he is going to die I’m here to collect him’ said death. ‘What are you talking about?’ said ava. I’ve already said too much replied death. Ava started crying uncontrollably. ‘There is no need to cry ava’ said death. Charlotte tried to convince her to stop, but she kept crying. ‘Is there any other way ava can save her father Mr. death’ Tyler asked death then death said ‘well there is one way’. ‘What is it’ said ava curiously while wiping her tears. Death continued ‘you have to pay a price’. ‘ok’ said ava. ’what is it’ ava asked. “Another person’s life instead of his”. ‘Ok’ said ava. ‘what are you talking about, are you going to kill someone’ cried Tyler. ‘No, I’m going to die’ said ava. ‘are you nuts’ shouted charlotte. ‘i just want him to live’ said ava. ‘no….uh…you..you…your our best friend..you..your dad…uh’ stammered charlotte. ’I don't know charlotte he gave me such a good life, I don’t mind scarifying my life for him. ‘He only gave you such a good life only because he wanted you to live, he wanted you to have a good life’ said charlotte. ‘Well I’ll think about it’ said ava. ‘Mr.death aren’t we already dead?’ said Tyler to death. It will all make sense after some time replied death. Hours passed ava kept thinking of her decision. Finally ava went near death. charlotte and Tyler went near death and were waiting for ava’s answer. Ava said I don’t want to scarify anyone please do what you came here for. He told three of them to stand near the tree. Three of them went near the tree and realized they couldn’t move. Ava, Tyler, and charlotte started panicking. They called death for help but he ignored them. Ava started crying hot tears of anger realizing death has fooled her. Death stood two meters apart and grabbed his Azrael. He went near the three and said ava your father isn’t going to die and he killed them.

                                                                                                            The three woke up in their school bus. The three realized that death has given them a chance and that ava’s father isn’t going to die. The driver shouted ‘the everyday route to the school is blocked and there are other two routes to go which one shall we take?’. The first one please the three of them replied.
