The Last Immortal

Chapter Twenty

We had ended up staying the night in the Immortal realm where I showed Jay all the sights. Buildings, mountains, lakes and rivers. When the sun rose I showed him the gravestones in the cemetery. 

I held onto his hand and walked him there. I pushed the gates open and behind them we saw a cemetery that seemed endless and full of gravestones. 

"This is the Immortals that died on the night the Gods killed them," I said solemnly. 

"This many Immortals... I am so sorry Ren," he said and squeezed my hand. 

"It's fine. I'll take you to my mother," I said and pulled him down a brick path to where my mothers grave sat with my father and brothers grave in a mausoleum with a statue of an Immortals True Form. 

"Your family got a mausoleum?" Jay asked. 

"Yeah. My family was really important back then," I said, not telling all the truth. 

We lapsed into silence again. We walked inside and sat on a stone bench inside. 

I watched Jay as he read the name plates for my family. 

My heart started to feel crushed at the thought of being alone hit me again. 

Face buried into my hands, I cried softly, making no noise as my body shook. 

Jay's warm hand went around my waist so I got closer to him, the tears moving more freely now. I laughed. 

"People don't usually laugh when in a cemetery," he said, confused. 

I shook my head. "My tears are now because of you."

He looked at me, confused still, but held me close to his side. 

My tears finally stopped and we were put into silence yet again. 

"Why are you called Death to the Supernaturals?" He randomly asked. 

I looked at him through my hair with a raised eyebrow. 

"Isn't it bad luck to talk about death at a cemetery?" 

"Seriously though."

"Well, my family used to be good friends with Death. The actual guy," I started. 

"The skeleton, scythe, black cloak guy?" Jay interrupted. 

I nodded. "Yeah. And it's more that his skin is stretched across his bones so he isn't just purely bones and he uses other things other than a scythe. Plus, he's a good guy. He's really nice. Kind of like my fathers business partner," I said. 

"And how does he relate to your name Death?"

"He said that I could borrow the name if I helped him by getting the Supernatural souls."

Jay's eyes bulged and he left the mausoleum in a rush. 

As soon as I was out, I stopped him with an invisible box around him. 

"What's wrong?" I asked and kept walking towards him. 

He glared at me and I watched as the walls turned to sand, fell to the ground then he dashed out of the cemetery. 

Well, it looked like he wanted a battle of strength so I will give him a battle. 

I launched myself over to him, stepped in front of him then made iron shackles rise from nowhere to stop him. 

"What is wrong with you all of a sudden Jay?" I asked and reached a hand out to him slowly to touch his face. 

He flinched back with rage in his eyes.
