My Monsters

Chapter Nine : Candice Summers

Coco ...

Death lead me through Hell and showed me some 'Doors' ( Which were exactly that ... Doors ) but he didn't open any of them .
Why ?
I have no clue .

" Alright . "
He clapped his covered hands .
" Yah thirsty ? Martini or beer ? I personally like souls but I don't necessarily think you'd like the taste . "

With that I shook my head , pinched the bridge of my nose and stuck my tongue out in disgust .

" Knew it . If you want we could carry on the tour at Lacy's ? "

" What's Lacy's ? "
" You'll see . "

---------------------------------------

And did I ever .

Lacy's is actually a bar in Hell that , oddly enough , gives out souls .

Ew .

Both Death and I walked over to the counter where there were barstools to sit on .
At first glance I saw that there was little embroidered things on them .

Then I looked closer .

" Skulls ? "
I looked to Death .
He shrugged .

" I do own the bar . "
" No you don't , Azrael . "

I was utterly startled by the voice that came out of the back of the bar door .

A woman , about the same age as me but a few years older , came out of it .
She was stunning with her blonde hair and sharp features .
Her horns , unlike mine , were red and longer than mine .

She smiled at Death before walking over to him and draping her arm over his hooded shoulders .

" What do you mean ? This bar obviously belongs to ... "
" Oh Shut up already . "

She then did something that surprised even me .

She leaned in Deaths cloak and I think she kissed him .

I couldn't tell , mostly because of two reasons .
One , I can't see under his cloak .
Two , I looked away and at the drinks laid out on the bars shelves .

" Did you miss me that much ? "
I heard her snicker at his question .

I was about to look back at them when I felt her lips against mine .
I was so confused and flustered .

I was thankful that she stopped when she did or I would have pushed her away the second I got my conscience back .

" What was that for ? "
I was blushing big time .
She chuckled .
" That is how Candice says hello to everyone . "

I glared at Death until he shrugged .
" Don't ask me why she does it but I like it . "

I rolled my eyes before looking back at ... Candice .

" Candice ? That's your name ? "
She turned towards the bar with a flick of her hair .
" Yup but you can called me Candy , that's only if I like how you say it . "

" Candy ? "
She blinked a few times .
" Wow , I love your voice . "
" Thanks . "

With a clap of her hands she walked over to the drinks then turned to face both Death and I .

She pointed her manicured forefinger at Death .
" Two souls ... "
Death nodded as she turned to point at me. 
" ... And one glass of ... Pepsi ? "

" How'd you know that ? "
She shrugged .
" I know everything about you ... Coco Roywood , eighteen years old and you've already sold your soul . "
She scoffed at what she'd said. 
" The best thing you could have done is left that ... Angel for dead , since he wasn't any good to you alive as he would have been in death . "
She looked at Azrael with a grin glued to her face.
