Chapter 8 - Sacrifices

Cosette's POV

We stood in a silent row, dressed in torn blue dresses that were caked with dirt. I felt like crap. There was dirt smeared over my face and my hair was a mess. I had to keep reminding myself that I wasn't in Paris antmore, I was standing mere inches from the grim reaper, and we were all in big trouble.

"Thump."

I heard the sound if someone hitting the floor. It was the final member of our band.

"Care to join us, Emmet?"

Emmet hustled forward. He was dressed in a normal T-shirt and jeans and he looked completely fine compared to the rest of us.

"Someone is looking fancy maybe we should touch you up-"

"Give me my friends back."

My voice came out of nowhere. Before I knew it i had my finger pointed at the reaper and I was staring at the place where there were supposed to be eyes. Instead, there was blackness.

"You need to understand."

He suddenly grew into a massive monster and I ran back to the line in fear.

"That I don't play games."

He spat. Duncan stepped forward.

"I'll make you a deal."

The reaper smirked.

"Im always up for a deal. But I know that everyone here has something that they would rather die than take away."

"I'll do anything!"

Emmet cried. The reaper laughed.

"Emmet can never dab again."

And he kept going.

"Bradley, you can never eat another skidal in your life."

"Noa can never listen to another one direction song and Harry can never join the band again."

"Elise can't ever eat a Wendy's chicken fry again, and Nial can never speak to Harry again."

"I need Duncan to burn Kanye West's favorite yeezies."

"Cosette, you can never speak another word to Kylie jenner, your bff. And Justin you will stay a vampire forever."

"Deal."

My voice was strong. Anything to get a second chance.

"You. I want you to kill Nash Greir."

I could see the fear on Angelina's face. I thought that she hated Nash, but maybe there was something in her heart that missed him.

"Not so fast."

The reaper smirked and I shook my head in dismay. This was not going to be good.

"You. You already got a second chance."

He pointed to Noa. Noa took a deep breath and walked to the reapers side.

"I didn't want to have to do this, but if it means that my friends can go then so be it."

"You're quite brave aren't you."

"Look, I really want to go back with them..."

"Fine. But I'll have a little surprise back on earth for you and you are going to wish you never chose to live."

"I can take it."

The reaper scoffed as if Noa didn't know what she was dealing with.

"Good luck."

And then we were off.
