A few days passed by like nothing... and the god of Death couldn't take it! He couldn't live knowing that he was the reason that his love was gone... That his love was no more! That he was the reason for their death!

Letting the rope swing in the wind, he thought if he really should do it... Maybe this was a test? Maybe Geno was testing him! H-He was alive!

"I-I'm so-sorry, love..." Reaper whispered, his vision clouded with tears and gulit...

Tightening the rope around his neck, he gasped lightly for air... Though he knew that he wouldn't need it for long... 

With one final look to the sky, Reaper let gravity take it's toll on him. The rope scratched at his neck, not letting air get into his none existent lungs. 

He made a look of pain, but did nothing to try to stop it. This is what he wants... He wants to die... He doesn't want to continue to live without his love... 

Just as his vision was starting to darken, the rope snapped, someone catching the older god before his body hit the ground.

"What were you thinking!" A voice shouted, but it was muddled as Reaper lightly gasped for air.

The tight rope  around his neck was cut a second later, a quiet whimper coming from the most feared being of the mortals. 

"Why did you do that?" The voice snapped again, setting the god on the tree he tried to kill himself with moments ago.

It was the new god, Reaper realized quickly. Tears filled his eyes even more as the deep blue ones stared back.

"Why would you do this..." The new one had tears in his own eyes, reaching a tender hand out. "Do you not realize how important you are?" He whispered, cupping the face of Death.

Reaper broke... He broke as bad as he had when he killed is love! He cried and cried! His tears were never ending rivers as he hugged the stranger. He couldn't stop himself... 

"Sshh... It'll get better... I know it will..." The new god murmured, keeping a warm hold on the weeping monster. He couldn't believe that the darkest being of the God's was like this... Was so sad... So filled with grief... It made him feel horrible... But, he knew there wasn't anything he could've done...

Reaper's second attmept at taking his own life...  has failed...
