Twin of Death - Puss in Boots

The cave

"Brother stop-!" I tell him, entering the place he had teleported to.

"I'm sorry Mi cielo." Death said, He was observing Puss, I smiled.

"He looks happy." I commented.

"He's being a bit full of himself don't you think?" Death said, I chuckled.

"I think he's just happy to see people.. or.. Crystals.. That he is familiar with."

"Hm.. Possibly."

Puss sang with the crystals.

"Who is your favorite fearless hero~!" They all sang, I heard death chuckle.

"He wasn't very fearless when I was beating him to the grou-" Death started, I put my hand over his mouth as the music started to stop.

"Quiet, He may hear us." 

"You're sounding more like life by the second.."

"..Back to Dog and kitty!" Puss excused himself.

The crystals started to mock him.

Death looked at the cat, Then back at me.

"He wasted.. Eight lives.. While we never got to live normal ones.." He growled.

"People, Die as heros with one life, He stops being a 'Hero' Just cause he has no back up plan!" Death growled.

I tried to hold onto him, He had drawn his sickles from his belt.

"..You will always live a life of-"

"Fear." He said, emerging from the shadows.

He breathed in the air yet again.

"Mhm~ I do love Fear.. It's just so intoxicating.." He said, Puss looked petrified. 

"It is?" One crystal hiccuped, Before being smashed.

"Sorry to interupt the party with your past lives.. Or past deaths as I like to call them.." Death said, Smashing a red crystal.

Puss held onto the map tight.

"I was there to witness All of them!" Death exclaimed.

"Each." He dragged his claws along his sickles ends.

"Frivolous." He dragged his claws to the next cat face, And the next, the next..

"End."  He dragged his claws to The last cat crossed out face.

Puss backed away slightly.

"But you never even noticed.. Because Puss in boots laughs in the face of death.."

"Right?"

He shatters another crystal.

"But you're not laughing now." He pushes another crystal over, It falls on the ground, losing its original colour and turning grey.

"You are no bounty hunter.. You are-" Puss' eyes widen as it finally makes sense, I chuckle at his foolishness.

"Death." Death says, He breaks the purple crystal just by his gaze.

"And I don't mean it, Metaphorically, or rhetorically or Poetically or Theoretically.. Or in any other fancy way. I'm death. Straight. Up."

"And I've come of you, Puss in boots." Death said, flexing his sickles.

"B-but.. I'm still alive!" Puss whimpered.

Death chuckled.

"You know.. I'm not a cat person.." He said, smiling.

"I find the very idea of Nine lives, ABSURD." He said, getting closer to The feline.

"And you didn't value any of them!" Death growled, Pointing his sickle at the frightened cat.

He jolted his sickle towards the cat, Puss backed away, whimpering.

"So~ Why don't I do us both a favor and take this last one, Now." Death said happily.

"That's cheating!" One of the last two crystal exclaimed, His cards flying in the air.

One of deaths sickles sliced through the crystal.

"Shh~ Don't tell." He said, getting closer to puss' face.

"Run puss in boots! Make the wish!" The last crystal said, Puss had one glance at it before it was shattered.

"Ah!" Puss gasped, Running away.

"Go ahead, Gatito! Run away..! Makes it more fun for me." Death lowered his voice at the last words.

Death growled and chased after the Cat, I whimpered and I stopped death.

"Stop it! You're scaring him!"

"Scaring- I'm trying to kill him! He's meant to be scared!" Death made excuses.

The cat was running far away from us.

Death whistled his tune and teleported to where puss was, I joined him.

He grabbed onto Puss' cap, I sighed in relief as I saw it rip and he hit the ground, running into the forest.

"Run~" Death smirked as he yelled.

"Death! You complete Jerk! Didn't you see how terrified he was?!" I yelled at him.

"I- I just.." Death said, He didn't like it when I was mad at him.

"Just what?! Thought it would be fun to play with him?! He's not just another soul Death! Ay dios mio!" I exclaimed.

"Want to see what you did to him?! Huh?!" I hissed.

"Why not." Death said, no feeling except anger in his tone.
