A Choice
Jinx wanted to scream, the last time she faced a pen was when she was a fox. She was a lot smaller then, more agile. Her human limbs didn't want to budge. All she could do is stand in horror as the jagged claws came down on her like a vise. Pain spread all throughout her chest up to her throat. Crumpling like a piece of used up parchment to the ground. She could hear Yoongi cry out for her. Even felt it when he scooped her up in his arms. How his hot tears fell like rain upon her cheeks.
Right then she was happy. Happy to once again be in his embrace, to feel his arms wrapped around her. Yoongi's desperation in his voice broke Jinx' heart. How she wished she could open her eyes and caress his cheek. To tell him she was okay.
Alas Jinx could not. Her whole body was going numb and she felt as if she were floating. She could see her crumpled frame in Yoongi's arms. Jinx could even see the Sun god raking his hands through his hair, trying to figure out what he should do.
In the end, Jinx watched as Yoongi reluctantly handed over her body to Hoseok. She watched as he stood there until Hoseok was safely in the chateau. Then as Yoongi, Kira, and Taehyung disappeared in a cloud of black.
Am I dead?
She thought to herself. A soft warm feeling spread over her. Everything around her became bright. The quiet stillness filled with the sweetest voice she had ever heard.
"Hello dear one." They said smiling down at her. Jinx gasped falling to her knees in the greenest meadow she had ever seen.
"Great creator." Jinx gasped in awe. Surely she was dead. Why else would the Great Creator appear?
"Sweet child you have worked so hard all your life. Even survived a punishment that should not have fallen upon you." They started, tilting their head to the side. Jinx had never seen anyone or anything so beautiful. They were indescribable.
"Am I dead?" She asked almost inaudible. The Great Creator sighed, resting a warm hand on her small shoulder.
"You are in transition."
Jinx looked into their eyes. They were full of joy and happiness. Not a single dark intention lurked in their golden hues.
"Transition?"
"Humans refer to this as limbo. They are unsure of where they are going until judgement is given. However, for magical beings such as yourself. I am going to give you a choice."
They smiled at Jinx. A genuine smile filled to the brim with love.
"A choice?"
"Yes." They took her hands helping her to stand. Placing a hand on her chest over her heart.
"You Jinx have the purest heart. Even in times of great turmoil you found the light in all things. A curse placed on you to keep you from your true love. You still felt as if something was missing. You find great joy in the meadows of this world. You love all creatures, even the monsters."
Jinx stayed quiet. A soothing warmth continuing to spread through her entire body. She felt no fear, no regrets.
"My choice for you dear one, is you can come home to the great beyond with me or you can tend the meadows of wildflowers as a goddess. For the form you have left has long expired."
"I died..."
"Just the vessel you were once attached to. Your soul is vibrant as ever."
For the first time since encountering the great creator, a sadness washed over her. Crystal tears fell down her porcelain cheek. The Great Creator's eyes softened, taking her into a gentle hug.
"Why do you cry, dear one?"
"Yoongi..."
They signed, leaning back to see her face.
"What does my child want?"
"I just want him to be happy. I love him so much. He doesn't deserve to be sad." Jinx tears continued to fall. The Great Creator smiled, wiping away her tears.
"Then what would make him happy?"
Jinx stared at the Great Creator confused, her eyes falling to their feet as her cheeks turned a rosy pink. Yoongi only ever wanted to be with her. She made him happy when he was at his darkest. When he lost her, he went through hell to get her back. Only for her to be ripped from him once more by a pen.
"What is your choice dear one?" They asked, lifting her chin to look at them.
"I would like to take care of the meadows." Jinx smiled. The thought of spending all her days in the meadows with all the flowers and butterflies. Made her so very happy and the thought of being able to be near Yoongi made her even more so.
The Great Creator smiled, emanating a bright pink light from their chest, that transferred into Jinx. On her head a tiny crown of wildflowers appeared, followed by a delicate white gown with intricate designs of tiny flowers all over it. Jinx smiled happily down at the flowy gown, running her fingers along each little flower.
"Oh..." Jinx spread out her arms to find herself surrounded with a pink glow like that of a foxglove. She giggled and spun around.
"Go now little one. I suspect your King should be arriving soon."
Jinx nodded, thinking that the Great Creator meant Yoongi would be in the meadow when she arrived.
The Great Creator then vanished to take care of a problem brewing in the underworld.
