After weeks and weeks of running, and being hunted down like a wild animal Kristine had finally given in.

(Kristine's P.O.V)
"It ends here!" I shouted
I stood on an abandoned bridge. Grim stood opposite me. A wicked grin spread across his face.
"Yes indeed Kristine, It does end here!" He replied still smiling
In a puff of black smoke he vanished.
In a split second he appeared centimetres from me. I tried not to vomit at his stench. No surprise he smelt like death and old people.
Without thinking I swung my arm and hit him right in the jaw. His neck jolted to the side and a few of his teeth were scattered across the stone bridge. He looked back at me smiling.
"It seems I underestimated you!"
"But like you said it ends here!"
Before I could react he shoved me hard. Unable to maintain my balance I fell backwards off the bridge and into the ice cold water below. I desperately tried to swim up, pain filled my torso as the need to breathe grew greater. Something was tied around my ankle, holding me down, keeping me underwater. I could feel my life slipping away. My surroundings became nothing but darkness. The only thought rushing through my mind was 'I'm sorry Francesca and Isaac. I'm sorry I wasted the life you saved'. Finally after minutes of writhing around desperately trying to free myself from my watery prison. The air escaped my tortured figure and river water invaded my body. I slipped out of consciousness....

(Grim's P.O.V)
HA!HA!HA!
"I TOLD YOU, YOU STUPID GIRL!"
I reached into my pocket and found the sand timer with Kristine's name on it, to find it had been smashed.
An 'evil' smile spread across my face going from ear to ear. (Well if I had ears).
"Looks like she's got a watery grave"
I say triumphantly to myself
Her soul rose out of the water. I reached my hand out for her to take.
"Ready to go be with your family they're all waiting for you Kristine"
After a moment of hesitation she reluctantly takes my hand. And replies with a nod. As we stroll into the light I can't help but let arrogance get the best of me.
"See Kristine I told you I'd win." I say sounding pretty smug.
"I wanted you to die!"
"And I always get what I want!"
