"A visitor?" The woman glances up at the red cloud appearing in front of her. It takes her a couple seconds to realize what it means.
"Hi." The face of a reaper looks back at her. "It's been a while." Lucy runs towards him and grabs him by the collar of his blouse. "Where is she?"
"She's in my realm."
Orym looks down at the clouds and sighs. "What did you tell her?"
"What do you mean?"
"C'mon Lucy, you know what I mean, you can't lie to me! Don't pretend like this is all my fault. Yes, I killed her, but it was for her own good!"
"I held her until the moment she died!" Lucy cries.
"And that was a mistake. You know what it does to a human, loving someone like us. You should've never talked to her in the first place."
Lucy looks at him with a blank stare. "You have no right.."
"And you did know where she was didn't you?" Orym yells. "You know.. There is just one thing stronger than love. And it's fear. You never visited her out of fear didn't you? You were afraid of what she had become. You drained away her innocence, that's what your love did to her."
A dark expression glooms over Oryms' face. "We have to get rid of her. For good."
"No you can't-"
"If you won't help me I will do it myself."
