Oh, Death

Pestilence!Ashton on the side/top

Michael and Mia watched in complete horror as a woman threw up on the side walk. She didn't just throw up, she was throwing up her lunch, and blood. It was almost endless as they slowly drove by.

"Yup he's here." Michael said as he sped up and drove past. Mia watched out the window as people fell over and clutched their stomachs. Others sneezing wildly. Some throwing up much like the first woman. It was awful to watch as all the people looked so sick. "Where would he be?"

"I don't know." Mia said as she looked back and forth. Michael sighed and looked around, pulling into a diner parking lot.

"Let's get some food." Michael opened the door and Mia climbed out the other side and they entered the diner together. Michael was relieved when seeing no one was sick, yet, and they sat down towards the back.

"Don't touch anyone." Mia said with a laugh.

"I make no promises." Michael said flatly as the waitress came by asking what they wanted to drink and also giving them menus. Michael glanced over it before setting it down and looking out the window. He sighed and rubbed his face, making Mia look at him in confusion.

"You alright?" Mia questioned him, looking over the top of her menu. "Miss your brothers?"

Death simply nodded and kept his focus out the window. He didn't like to talk very often. He's a smooth talker, but only when he wants to be. When he doesn't want to be, he's near silent. This was one of those times. Death was too focused on finding Pestilence to talk.

"Do you have a name other than Death?" Mia asked quietly.

"Michael." He said plainly, and that was the rest of their conversation.

They soon got their food and finished it quickly before heading back out to the car to continue the search.

"If I was Pestilence where would I be?" Michael thought, glancing around the town. Mia sat quietly in the back of his car, silently searching for Pestilence while Michael would mumble some profanity every now and then.

Mia glanced into the windows of one store and saw a man with a large ring similar to Michael's and she gasped.

"What? What is it?" Michael half asked, half yelled.

"Go back to that book store that was right there!" She said with her eyes focused on it as Michael made and U-turn and parked in front of the shop. They both quickly filed out of the car and into the shop. In the shop, there stood the curly haired Horsemen, a large silver ring with a pale green gem adorned on his finger.

"Pestilence." Michael breathed out. Pestilence turned and his face went into a bright smile, his once black eyes turning to their normal color.

"Oh my God. Death? Where have you been?" Pestilence walked towards them, the smile still apparent on his face. "I can hug you right?" Michael laughed and nodded, pulling his brother into a hug.

"I was sent to Colorado. This girl summoned me and she was talking to Gabriel who told her everything."

Pestilence shook his head and mumbled, "That damn Gabriel," under his breath. "None the less, I'm glad your here. And what is the name of this young thing?" He questioned, eyeing Mia.

"I'm Mia." She said with a small wave. "Are you called something else?" Mia asked, shifting the weight in her feet.

"Others call me Ashton. Where's War and Famine?" Ashton asked, turning his attention back to Michael.
