Cleo's POV

I reach the hospital ten minutes later and find a parking spot. Once I do I hide the hour glass before getting out of the car. I head to the reception desk first before heading to my brother's hospital room. Where I find Aunt Lara waiting and Jim sitting up in bed playing his DS.

"Jimmy" I cheer hugging him tightly.

"Sis I can't breath" he tells me and I let go before he gives me a hug. "I love you Cleo, where were you?" he asks me.

"Visiting mum and dad's grave, how do you feel?" I ask him.

"I feel great" he says smiling.

"It's amazing I've never seen this type of recovery before without treatment. I know what he had I did the tests myself. Now it's like he never had leukemia, I'm having the tests run again. But I think he's in the all clear" Lara explains.

"So when can he come home?" I ask her.

"Yeah I want to go home with Cleo" Jim adds making me laugh quietly.

"While if the tests come back negative then he can go home this evening" Lara states. Just as a nurse came in with a file and hands it to Lara. Before leaving the room as Aunt Lara reads the file. "According to these..." she says reading them before smiling at us. "Jim is completely cured, it's a miracle" she states closing the file.

"Yeah, I can go home with Cleo!" Jim cheers and we laugh quietly while I hug him.

"I'll go get the paper work sorted then all you need to do is sign them" Lara tells me before leaving.

"Jim why don't you pack your bag, I'll be in a minute" I tell him kissing his forehead. "Tell Aunt Lara I'm in the loo, if she asks me" I add and he nods his head. I head to the bathroom down the hall and lock the door behind me. Turning on the tap I splash myself with cold water before looking at my reflection. Then look at the pentagram on the back of my hand and touch it.

"You rang?" someone asks behind me and I turn to see a very handsome man. A few years older then me with black hair and gorgeous blue/grey eyes. "Why thank you Beauty, I think your eyes are gorgeous also" the guy states.

"Who are you?" I ask him.

"Yes I did forget to tell you my name earlier, it's Thanatos" he says bowing.

"Death" I say backing away.

"Bingo, so are you pleased so far my beauty?" he asks. I remember he's the reason Jim is alive and well right now. I step forward and hug him surprising both of us.

"Thank you for saving my brother, I will be forever grateful to you. Don't worry I will honour my part of the deal. But what will happen when you take my soul? Will my body just die?" I ask him pulling away.

"Yes it will, don't worry I'll make it look like an accident and your brother will have a good life. Now I must leave, but if you ever wish to talk. Just place your hand on the pentagram and call my name. I'll be there" he explains before disappearing into thin air. I take a deep breath unlocking the door and go back to Jim's room.

Where he and Aunt Lara were waiting with the papers I need to sign. So I sign them and pick up Jim's bag. Holding his hand with my free one as we say goodbye to Aunt Lara. Who promised to come over later for dinner as I decided to make Jim's favourite. We get to my car and Jim gets into the back seat doing his seat belt while I place his stuff in the boot.

Then I drive us to our small two story two bedroom, one bathroom, kitchen, living room and laundry house. It was the only decent home I could afford as I didn't have enough money to keep our parent's house. But we're close to Jim's school and the park. I am also up for a promotion at the local diner as I now have my barista certificate.
