Death's a Bitch REPLACEMENT

Chapter Five: Moods

~~ Ashton's Point Of View ~~

I stood there watching her as she walked away, her clothes torn, blood everywhere and her hair a mess. I had to admit it was pretty hot. The whole fight where she let lose, we just lost ourselves, pushed our pasts to the side and fought in the presence. I could feel something inside of me grasping at its escape something powerful. The way she moved when she fought, I looked so elegant, so beautiful so...
No
Snap out of it, I'm here to take her job, Ruin her 'life' as she did mine. I'll be a better, stronger grim reaper.

I made my way up to my room passing a stranger on my journey. He was an angel, blonde, alright looking but I've seen better. He gave me a cheerful smile as he approached me.
"Hi" he said happily "Cupid, nice to meet you Ashton"
"Uhh... hi" I replied confused
"I would love to talk but I'm here on a mission. Seen Death?"
Why does he want her? What's this mission? Is he sleeping with her?
"In her room" I snapped, I didn't actually know it was a wild guess.
"Thanks, talk soon" He said bouncing up the rest of the stairs towards her door at the end of her hall
I stood at my door for a moment watching him
"Hey Death, Its Cupid" he said knocking on the door
Her door opened, she stood there with a towel around her, her hair dripping wet
"Cupid" she said "Come in, I was just getting changed"
I stormed into my room, slamming the door behind me. Why was I so pissed off? Fucking stupid heightened emotions

It wasn't long before I heard a knock.
"What the fuck do you want?" I said opening my door
it was Camael.
"I have organzi- Hold up, what is going on?" he said pushing my door open and walking in inspecting my body.
"Did she try to kill you?" he said
"No we were sparring"
"If you were sparring why do you have bite and claw marks all over you?"
"It was next level sparring. She was covered in them too"
"Well okay, back to the topic, I have organized a meeting with the elders in another week to show your skills so far and to prove to them you are not dead. As Death has a habit of not following orders"
"I have to go see those assholes?" I snapped
"Now you are talking like her, knock that off boy or you will lose those precious wings, just like she did"
"She lost her wings?"
"Why do you think they are black?"
"Because she was the grim reaper?"
"No, Because of her being angel she heals, so they tore her wings off but they grew back, because they grew in a sinned body, they grew back black. Angel never loses their wings, except her. So an angels wings stay white through their lives because they grew on a pure body"
"Oh" was all I could muster

Camael left my room shutting the door behind him. I guess there was a lot more to her then I thought. I mean I never did read the book of history and shit they gave you. I was too distracted by my wings.
I took a quick shower washing off the blood and analysing the wounds most where healed over leaving just faint marks, but the deeper ones were taking their time. After my shower I hopped into bed, it not taking long to fall asleep.

*****

"Come on shit head, wake up" I awoke to along with a bang on the door
It was Death and her charming self. "Breakfast you dick, get down to the kitchen before its gone"
I heard her footsteps grow fainter and I sat up. My muscles were stiff and slightly sore. My eyes felt heavy as I dragged myself up. I slipped on some sweat pants and a t-shirt while slowly making my way down stairs.

"Morning sleeping beauty" She said as I entered the kitchen. Funny never took her as a morning person.
Camael and Cupid were in the same state I was, although Cupid seemed to pick up when he saw me. His hair was ruffed and he sat there shirtless with only his jeans on from last night; obviously stayed here.
"Wow someone looks pissed" Death commented as I didn't take my eyes off of Cupid. He was too busy looking at her to notice; that was until he spun around and looked at me. I quickly tried to wipe the look from my face but I was too late he saw it and he seemed almost upset.
"He's only grumpy at you because he thinks we had sex last night" Death said serving up breakfast. Typical eggs and bacon; not that I was complaining, I was hungry.
"Wait what?" Cupid said going red in the face
"Yeah its running through his head right now, well not right now, now its 'how does she know what I'm thinking?"
I opened my mouth to talk but gave up since she pretty much said what I was going to.
"I'm gifted darling, I can look into the minds of people if I wish to, you looked pissed off so I had a sneak peek. I hardly ever do it though I hate knowing what's going on in your heads. I mean most of the time its sex" She said humbly
Why was she in such a good mood?
"Why am I in a good mood you ask?" she said
"Get the fuck out of my head" I snapped. Technically I never got an answer to those two fucking or not. Why do I care? I don't...
"Well" Death began "today we reap, and nothing gets me in a good mood like this unless I'm killing"
"Finally" I said, my mood picking up the slightest
"Fuck up any of my kills and I will fuck you, and not in the way you want" she said dead serious.
"Uhh..."
"Right, eat up boys" she said cheerfully again.

I could already tell I was fucked for today and we haven't even started 

~~~~

So my first reaping session didn't go very well... it wasn't even good I completely fucked it up. Death was on the phone right now getting an earful from Lucifer.

"He fucked it up" she snapped her back from me. It was night time and we were a top of an apartment building, she had more souls to reap but I doubt I will be going. Camael stood beside me carefully watching her so she doesn't snap again.

"I wouldn't have killed him. Camael stopped me anyway. I cannot be fucked with him right now; I'm already behind schedule with training him"

"Thanks" I awkwardly said to Camael
"Don't worry Aiolos. She was holding back... A lot"
"That was holding back?" I said astounded,

If that was holding back then the other night must have been a casual walk in the park.

"I have to go" she snapped "I can sense a life coming to an end"

And with that she hung up.
"I'm going to have to drag you both with me to this one, as I don't have time and its technical but your both invisible and watching" she said bluntly

We didn't have time to answer before we were teleported into a plain room. The lights from the city shone through the window highlighting a family all in tears. we were in a hospital, the strong smell of chemicals filled your nose the second you set foot in the room. The room was mainly dark other than a small light in the corner the barely did anything.
"Death" I said knowing they couldn't hear us, she muted us from the outside world "What are we waiting for?"
"This one is different Ashton, we have to wait until the right time" She said softly her outfit transitioning from black to white. The ripped black skinny jeans and leather jacket replaced with a long flowing roman gown, it covering one shoulder with the edges lined with gold. Her usual dark make-up was replaced by a natural look, except for the winged eyeliner and gold eyelids. Dark locks hung around her shoulders rather than being pulled back into some sort of hair style. And there was no hood she could hide behind.
On the bed lay a little girl, her blonde hair lay there on the pillow as she lay there with her eyes shut.
"She's in a coma" Death said her voice low "The family have to pull the plug on her"
"What?" I said shocked, Camael stood in the background his eyes on Death watching her every move. But something in her mood had changed.

"It's time" she said.
It didn't take long for the girl to pass, I could hear her heart beat slowing as she slipped away. The room was full of cries and beside the bed stood a confused little girl.
"Mummy?" she asked "Mummy why are you crying?" but the mother didn't react. She couldn't hear her, or see her.
"Zoey" Death said in a soft voice "I'm Anastasia, I'm the only one who can see you right now"
"Why?"
"Because sweetheart you have died"
"No I haven't I'm right here"
"Zoey you are in your angel body now; you are becoming an angel"
"But what about mummy and daddy?"
"Mummy and Daddy still have a long life ahead of them, They will join you soon, when they are ready"
"They are going to be angels too?"
"If they have been just as good as you have then I'm sure of it"
"I don't want to leave them though" She said tears filling her eyes"
I had to admit she was tough for a little kid.
"I know sweetheart but I have friends in heaven who will teach you how to fly and will look after you until Mum and Dad join you"
"Will you be there?" she asked Death
"I'll come visit you when I can"
she nodded quietly looking to the ground
"Take my hand darling, I'll take you there now"
and with that Death left us and walked through a white portal holding Zoey's hand.
