Meeting the reaper

[_Unknown_Mess_]

He turned around. "First don't talk when i'm around second I don't care if you break the rules of seeing reapers" He turned around a kept walking with the group of demons.

 

[Luthor]

A wide grin spread across her face, as she tried opening a portal using her pitchfork. A small hole appeared in the wall, and as she stepped through, she found herself in a completely empty room, with black gothic walls. A bed appeared once she was fully inside, draped with red silk and black lace, causing a smile to spread across her face. She remembered that nobody but Jack could get to his room, and this disappointed her deeply.

 

[_Unknown_Mess_]

Jack was moving around the bed. He couldn't seem to get comfortable at all. He decided to go take a walk out on earth. His hood was covering his face. He was leaning against the same wall that he had saved her from. He stared at the spot and sighed. He realized this just made him feel sadder and sadder. He leaned his head against the wall.

 

[Luthor]

Carefully, Kath adjusted her hair to hide the stubs of horn ,before opening a portal to earth. This time, the hole was tall and very slim, so she had to squeeze through it. Looking around, she realised that she was in her apartment, and smiled a little. As she walked around, a loud sobbing could be heard from her bedroom. Following the sound led her to her boyfriend, who had received the news that she'd died in a motorbike crash. Cursing softly, she made another portal in the wall, but not before grabbing her purse from the table.

 

[_Unknown_Mess_]

Jack started to walk in the woods. He had to get away from that spot or he would just regret everything. He looked at all the nature that was around him. He sat down by a nearby tree when you first walk into the woods.

 

[Luthor]

Kath headed to the shop, the same one where she almost died, out of habit. Yet, when she arrived, it was cordoned off with yellow police tape, and had the remains of a motorbike scattered about. Her death had been covered up as a crash. Guilt filling her, she ducked into a nearby clothing shop, picking up a flowy black dress and a red coat. Her horn stubs had grown, so she opted to change into her new outfit through her portal. Kath then began to contemplate resuming her previous life, but the eyes, fangs and horns would be a dead giveaway.

 

[_Unknown_Mess_]

Jack sighed. He got up and started walking toward the town. Melody appeared beside him. She knew he didn't want to talk so she just walked with him. Jack didn't look up at all his eyes were focused on the ground. Thinking of different things and how he died. He stopped and looked at the crash. He stared at it for a couple of minutes and melody did too.

 

[Luthor]

Kath reappeared through a sidealley, a small collection of wildflowers tucked in her arm as she headed to the crash. Blood lay in a pool on the concrete-was that hers? Beside the police tape, a bundle of flowers and photos had already been placed. Solemnly, she placed down her bouquet, before crouching to read letters. Her best friend had written a small letter, filled with inside jokes and 'I miss yous', all carefully noted in purple pen. A tear rolled down her cheek upon seeing her boyfriend's: he'd eloquently written a bundle of three or four pages which she didn't have time to read then.


Inconspicuously, she slid the papers into her pocket and walked away, sobbing quietly. Never had she thought that so many people would miss her; her relationship was very slow, saving it until marriage, and only kissing the previous week. Kath ducked round a corner into the park, where she sat and read through the heartbreaking letter.

 

[_Unknown_Mess_]

Jack turned to melody. "Maybe you should see her" She suggested. Jack shook his head. "How can I?" He asked. "Your orb" She said with a smile. Jack looked down and remembered then shook his head again. He already had his orb out. He slid through different people. He finally found her but did not show the exact location. "So where is she?" She asked. "On earth.." He replied. "C'mon lets go find her" She sprinted away she was faster then him. He grunted and started walking where she has disappeared.

 

[Luthor]

By the end of the letter, Kath had to bite back loud sobs, with memories flooding back to her of their relationship. She wiped tears from her cheeks, as she folded up the letter once again, deciding to keep it. After all, it was addressed to her at the top as her pet name 'Dearest Kathy-Cat'. The devil looked up at the sky, questioning why she had to be taken at such a vital time.

 

[_Unknown_Mess_]

Jack saw her. He walked over to her. He looked at her for a moment. He made no sounds or sudden movements he was very still. He tilted his head to the other side. He sighed as he looked at her he knew she didn't seem happy. He felt if he didn't want to talk to her. He also felt this was all his fault. He finally made a move he looked down at the ground.

 

[Luthor]

Upon looking up, she made eye contact with Jack and was overcome by guilt. How fast she'd forgotten about her darling Quentin...How fast she'd moved with a near stranger...How fast she'd lost all sense of morality. Sighing, Kath got up and walked to him, wiping all traces of tears from her face as she forced a look of joy onto her face,"Hey."

 

[_Unknown_Mess_]

He looked up to her with a frown. He put his hand on her cheek. "I'm so sorry.." He sighed. He leaned down and kissed her forehead. He pulled away and looked at her. He looked at her carefully and saw she had been crying. "I ruined your life...you'd be better off if you didn't meet me" He moved his hand away from her face and ruffled his hair.

 

[Luthor]

"Don't say that..." Her voice was unconvincing, as her resentment pinned him as the villain. Coming to her senses slightly, she spoke again,"I was going to die anyway! There wasn't a way for me to stay with my loved ones, so at least I have a job where I can see them. I have you to thank for that."

 

[_Unknown_Mess_]

"I know your sad though...is there any way I can make you happy..." He spoke softly. He was going to do anything to make her happy. He didn't like to see her sad. He gave her a soft kiss on the lips to calm her down. He knew it meant nothing but he was going to try anyways.

 

[Luthor]

"Well, you can't make me alive again, so I doubt it. Is there any way that you could teach me how to do stuff?" Kath flinched when he kissed her, wiping her lips afterwards. All she could think about was her boyfriend's sobbing in her room, and about his letter.

 

[_Unknown_Mess_]

Jack shook his head. "I don't know anything about devils that much" He sighed when she wiped her lips. Melody came along and looked at her. "Kath" Her voice was so calm.

 

[Luthor]

"Melody, is it?" Kath turned to her, fiddling with her coat sleeve nervous in the fact that she'd have to ask a devil; probably Ashton. Despite her claims that he wasn't frightening, the devil scared the absolute shit out of her and talking with him was going to be an ordeal.

 

[_Unknown_Mess_]

"Come with me we need to talk.." She took her hand gently and walked into a light portal. "So missing earth?" She asked as she closed the portal behind them so nobody would come in.

 

[Luthor]

Kath nodded softly,"I'm mostly missing my boyfriend. I feel so unfaithful." Tears brimmed in her golden eyes,"But on top of it, I can't even control my new self!"

 

[_Unknown_Mess_]

Melody looked over at her with a worried face. "Well then I shouldn't tell you what I was about to tell you.." She looked over and thought for a minute. "What do you think about jack..?" She asked looking at her.

 

[Luthor]

"I-I think I love him. But I don't know if I'm just compensating for losing my life...I don't think I am..." The girl looked down at her feet, her words ringing true within her. Truly, Kath did love him, but she couldn't let go of her three years with her boyfriend that easily.

 

[_Unknown_Mess_]

Melody put a hand on her shoulder. "I don't know how to help you I don't know if I even can but the one thing I know is dying its the worst..." She sighed. "I remembered when I died..i died from a plane crash me jack and ashton so happy now so lost.." She could feel a tear rolling down her cheek.

 

[Luthor]

"Why don't you and Jack get along with your brother? Did something happen in life, or was it in death? If you don't mind my asking." Kath was curious, as Ashton had almost immediately tried to hurt his brother when they strayed into the underworld.

 

[_Unknown_Mess_]

"We were getting along at first we had each others back then ashton started talking about this is all jack's fault..Then he was just automatically put in hell we were all going to the same place but to just spit us up they put us in different places but me and jack remain friends" She sighed. "Our father.."
