CORPSE & Bring Me The Horizon- CODE MISTAKE 

"You never told me why you're here, Lily," I say as we have lunch together on the ice. 

Lily Kennedy insisted on an ice princess picnic. Something about making Ashley and Kelly jealous over her new best friend. I think that's supposed to be me. Don't get me wrong, Lily is great, but she scares the fuck out of me. I like teaching her, but that's going to be the extent of our relationship. She talks to herself when she thinks she's alone and it sounds a lot like Golem from Lord of The Rings. And there's the fact that she's a demon in a mortal vessel. I'm not judging. I'm just scared. 

"Oh, same as you," she shrugs. "Gotta take special grade soul back to hell with me for the dark lord," 

"The one Noah and I have to kill?" I ask looking down in the direction where it is.

 I can't see her, but I do feel where she is. I bet everyone can. Wraith shifters are some of the strongest and most dangerous creatures to exist. They're up there with Reapers and Devils. Hence, her still living after being frozen for who knows how long. 

"What?" she shakes her head. "You have three targets. The last one is to be delivered back to Hellbourne," 

"No, the assignment was to take out," 

"I am so glad you asked," she pulls out a fancy-looking phone. She places it between us. 

"Mrs. Kennedy, is everything alright?" B.B. answers immediately. 

"Hey, sweet face. You should stop calling me that. Death did us part," she laughs. "I have Gastly here with me," 

"I sure hope so," B.B. says worriedly. 

"Hello," I say awkwardly. 

"What's going on?" 

"Gaz and I were talking and she said the funniest thing," Why the fuck is she drawing it out? "She is under the impression that she needs to kill Iris Trinity," 

"What? No. Who told you to kill her?" B.B. asks alarmed. 

"Ahsan?" I say unsurely. She growls and then it sounds like she's moving around. 

"This is delicious. What is it?" Lily asks me pointing at her tray. 

"It's a garden salad," I answer. "Just tossed it with a little lemon, cranberry juice, olive oil, and salt," 

"That's interesting," she says mindlessly. This is the shit I'm talking about, what the fuck? 

"Gaz?" 

"Ahsan," I greet him. "I think there may have been a misunderstanding about the wraith," 

"You haven't killed her, right?" 

"No, sir," 

"Good. Yes, you have to take her out of there," he laughs.

"Oh, uh. Next time don't say take her out. That doesn't mean what you think it does," I snort. 

"What does it mean?" 

"To kill, Ahsan," B.B. huffs. 

"Oh," he laughs. "No, I meant to remove her and bring her back with you. Take her out of the prison," 

Lily bursts into giggles. 

"I got it. Thank you for clarifying," I try not to roll my eyes. 

"Do you think you can take her?" he asks. 

"Not alone, but with Noah. Yes," I clear my throat to say what I have to say next. "Uh, I haven't personally been around a wraith before, but these things are very dangerous. They're good in human form, but once they shift. They lose all their senses. They don't know friend from foe. I don't think it would be a good idea to have this thing around B.B. or any children,"
