Wielders

chapter 5

Josue is shown walking into a massive skyscraper, then walks into an elevator. As he pushes the button to the one hundredth floor, the elevator stops. Josue feels his phone ring. "Hey Josue i have to take care of some things before you show up so just take it easy, the elevator will go up when i'm ready." Josue nods and death takes the silence as a confirmation then hangs up. "Great just great." Josue sits down on the floor and waits. Josue settles in for the long wait. "I wonder what they're doing at school right now." The lunch bell rings at Josue's high school and all the students leave the room with the exception of Malcolm, Claire and Jill. "So Claire how are you feeling?" Malcolm asks Claire, Claire then looks at Jill giving Malcolm an angry tired glare, then turns back to Malcolm. "Sorry Malcolm, she's being overprotective since I still need bandages and more healing." Claire has bandages on top of face, her hair pulled back slightly then Malcolm asks. "Why do you need those i thought you guys could heal any wound." Claire looks at Jill who sits down next to Claire. "Jill thinks that if we use our powers they'll find us so she won't let us use our powers." Jill pouts at Claire and Claire just shrugs and begins to go to sleep. "well this..." Claire falls asleep, then Jill grabs Claire and starts shaking her. "Claire Claire wake up." Claire wakes up and calms Jill down firmly. "I'm fine, FINE!" Jill looks scared. Malcolm gets an amused expression on his face. "Jill you do know that shaking someone with a head injury is a bad thing to do right? " Jill shrinks back down from an angry glare from Claire and Malcolm continues. " and second if you're really so paranoid about them attacking again, me and Josue can figure out a way to stop them from coming through, so you don't have to be an annoying little sister and Claire can be useful again." Malcolm gets glares from Jill and Claire. The door to the classroom slides open. "where is Josue?" Malcolm Claire and Jill turn towards the door. Josue wakes up when he hears the elevator start moving. It instantly rockets him up to the highest floor. Josue walks into the standard office and takes a seat in front of a man in a dark green suit. "listen I need this done today now excuse me I have a meeting to attend." Death swivels on his chair, hangs up phone and walks to the bookshelf. "we're going to my other office." Death teleports Josue to a dark oak room lit with blue lights, a bar on the left of the room and a recreational area on the right. There's a cloak behind the black desk and a bunch of tally marks on the room walls. "So how are you Josue?" Death starts making a drink for himself at bar, the entire time having his eyes closed. Josue begins walking around cautiously wondering why his eyes are closed. "good except for what happened yesterday, it's been nice and quiet." Josue looks at the desk as two massive bone hands crawl out of the office floor making chairs. Josue sits down in front of the desk as death takes a seat behind the desk. "could you shed some light on yesterday's events death, because I doubt the warden attacked us for no reason." Death stops shaking the drink and pours it into a cup on his desk and with his eyes still closed looks at Josue while taking a sip of his drink. "Claire killed one of his human guards while out apartment shopping." Death looks at Josue, who gives him a weird look, while downing his drink. "You say it so weird." Death raises an eyebrow at Josue, eyes still closed. "We've been using the term hunting instead of shopping." Death opens his eyes, his pupils and iris shaped like dark green skulls matching his suit, short hair and ring, then looks at Josue. "I think you guys are the ones saying it weird." Josue pushes his hair back, deciding to get back on topic. "So what can you do about the warden?" Back at their apartment Malcolm is shown in a closet like room, on the only computer in the apartment. He begins furiously typing and clicking then slams his hands down. "Damn it, this virus just won't let up." The door behind him flies off it's hinges and Claire and Jill run in. "what happened?!?!" Malcolm closes all the internet tabs. "Claire, Jill i thought you guys were at work right now." Claire and Jill look confused, then remember why they showed up. "don't change the subject how did you get a virus?" They begin to glare at Malcolm. "what were you looking at?" Malcolm begins to rub his head nervously. "I was looking at... sleep!!!!" Jill and Claire collapse and fall asleep. Malcolm then looks at the computer. "how do i handle this then?" Malcolm after some very serious thought leaves the room. Malcolm then runs back in and punts computer out the apartment. "problem solved."

Josue and death look exhausted from hours of talking. "Damn." Josue looks at the clock then back at death. "can't be helped then?" Death looks at his now empty drink. "I didn't say it couldn't be helped i just said it's not likely he'll back down." Death then looks at Josue. "I'll try but you owe me for this." Josue sees the clock strike seven. "Well i better go and see if Kim is still mad at me." Death escorts Josue out into the dead world: souls are running rampant in the sky, the entire place is green, the ground is cracked and exploding and there are several cloaked figures trying to keep it all in line. . Josue looks towards a massive soul energy orb falling over the horizon mimicking a sunset. "That favor you said i owe you, try not to make it any time soon." Death grabs his cloak and opens a portal out of the dead world. "Send my sons my love." Josue nods then runs into the portal. A dead man in a torn green suit with torn skin on his face revealing bone walks in after Josue leaves.
