Confusing the Grim Reaper

Death sneaked up behind her. But could not touch her. What was this sorcery ? Death was getting late. It was always on a tight schedule. The lady was taking a bath in a spring. As Death tried to touch her again, flowers sprung around her body as if to protect her. "I knew you'd come." she said calmly. Death was dumbfounded. Most of the people screamed when they saw it. "What will happen when you leave without me?" she asked. Death did not want to imagine. Also, it did not have an imagination. There was a blankness in its head, similar to dying. She was staring at him like she understood everything. "This is the fountain of Spira, it is a place to save the world from orphans, many don't believe in its power, so they don't come here, but the ones who believe are spared death. I reached just in time to be safe from you. You don't even know about the others, do you?" Death grunted and left. A crowd of people came around the makeshift waterfall and exclaimed "It worked!". "Why wasn't it able to touch me, though?" the lady questioned. "Clingfilm." came the answer.
