Death's Angel

Chapter 18

    I teleport to a girl who is sitting in the bathroom tub crying. She locked herself in there. I have some bad flashbacks when I used to do this then I shake my head. The person is banging on the door too they are very hostile. This situation could escalate to something worse if I don't do something. Whatever happens next could kill one of the two. It looks like the female in the bathtub is the one to go. I'm not going to let that happen again. A dagger appears in my hand. It reminds me of a dagger I've seen before. When the person breaks in and it's another woman. I stab her in the chest which doesn't leave a mark. I feel her heart stop and I drop her to the ground.
     Her soul is red and it ends up in my hands. I send her up to Heaven. That's the true place she needs to be in. Hell is too much of a playground for her. I appear in front of the girl in the tub. I grab her abuser's time and put it in her time. 

"Don't put yourself in that situation ever again. Just because they don't look like a monster that doesn't kill, doesn't mean a single thing in this world. All monsters can wear masks." She looked scared but she nodded her head. She knew that she had a new beginning now.

   I disappeared from her eyes and turn around to face Death. He looks mad and I look down. 

"Why would you do that Persefoni, the girl time was up." He lifts up his hand and I flinch badly. Then he caresses my face. "Baby, I'm not going to hurt you. I knew I shouldn't have let you take a mission this early. Especially this one. Your scars are too fresh right now." Something inside of me fired up.

"You don't get to decide what I can and can't handle. I did what I did and now we can't go back. You still don't know anything about me." He chuckles and he rubs my cheek. "Why are you laughing?!" 

"Because it's cute when you get feisty. You're right. I don't know the new one. But you have to understand that as reapers you have to rip out your past life and emotions altogether. I know what you went through... I wanted to be your hero baby...just like you wanted to be her hero. Things happen for a reason. If I would've rescued you I would've been punished by them taking you away from me. Now that the universe found my weak spot they know how to put salt in my wounds. I'm supposed to be Death for God's sake. The man with no feelings at all." He starts tearing up with black tears. "Jesus, did you know there were these things called tears. They get annoying after a while. Especially seeing everything being treated like a piece of shit. Just know I didn't want our situation to end up worse than it could've been." he starts laughing and crying.
    I don't think Death knows how to handle human emotions as we do. I teleport us to his room and hug him tightly. I can't be too rough on him. He saw some shit he never wanted to watch and he had to sit by and let things happen to the one thing he loves in the world. But I'm not going to shove my abuse down for his own feelings. I hug him even tighter and he's stopped whatever burst of emotions he went through. I think he doesn't like anyone seeing his emotions. I feel him hug me back and my heart races. I hug him even tighter than before. He grunts. 

"Don't kill me! You got a death grip on me." We laugh together. I hide my face in his chest. I don't want this touch or feeling to go away. He tries to get out of my grip and I grip even tighter. 

"I don't want you to leave my arms," I say shyly. He picks me up and wraps my legs around his waist then holds me to his chest.

"Then it looks like I'm taking you with me. I have to go to a reaper meeting. I hope you know...I'm not going to change that human's life." 

  He starts carrying me through the castle. The castle has vines and plants. I realize this castle was made out of obsidian bricks. I blush. He's carrying me like a little kid. I don't know what came over me really. I just don't want to be alone right now. He feels so comfortable. He gets in the room and every reaper stares at him then stares at me. I bury my head in his chest. 

"Sir, I...okay why is she being carried by you."

"Did I fucking come into this meeting to get questioned about my life Jay! It's my castle. I didn't come in here and judge your fucking lifestyle." Death sits down and makes me get in a different position. My legs are across his lap and I'm against his chest. I look at the other reapers. Some of them actually look happier than when I came into this world and it was depressing. They were mostly talking about the war and how it was going to go. One of the females looks jealous of me. I slowly being to fall asleep. Before I slip into my dream I feel death plant a kiss on my forehead.
    I have another bubble memory and I pop it. I'm in a car next to a blonde head guy with bright blue eyes and he's driving at night. I guess we're going to the hangout spot. I'm wearing a very large hoodie and it looks like someone in a nice red car behind us. We're traveling through a mountain.

"Are you still cold Regina?" Cody sounds like Death.

"I don't want to wear this too long. I feel like Tony wouldn't like me wearing your stuff." 

"Fuck Tony, he's up to no good and I feel like you're just going after him because he's a baddy."

"A baddy?"

"You know, fuck the police, I'll kill a man if I want to. If he hits you, I'm going to knock that motherfucker dead. He will literally die when I get my hands on him." 

"Stop overreacting Cody, you already beat him in most races. Your car is so badass. Your mansion is badass. You know you could find a better girl than me."

"I don't want another girl! I want you! I'm not that kind of guy. I'm, not Lucas. You are the only one I want to chill with. Like fuck why do you think that I could find another girl and just be okay with her? You are not like the other girls. You're one of those rare unicorns. I want you to be my girl. I want to wife you up. I want you to live with me and spend the rest of your life with me. But if you don't want me that's fine...just know I want you to be happy. If Tony is what makes you happy, I'll let you be, just know that my feelings for you will never fade."

"Tony doesn't make me happy. Well, I think Tony makes me feel a certain way. The way you make me feel is...I can't stop smiling whenever you are around or your name is brought up. I feel like I'm walking on clouds around you. I just feel like I'm not good enough for you. I don't want you to be in my messy world. I'm crazy and everything."
   
   Cody stops the car then grabs onto my face softly and looks me in the eyes.

"I want you to be my crazy and stalker girlfriend." He let's go of my face and looks away. "Sorry, that was way too uncomfortable and too intense." I grab onto his hand and kiss him. He kisses back. I wish I could stay in this dream moment right now. 
     I wake up and Death is cuddling me in his bed. I can feel his breath against my neck. I feel so weird and I notice his hand is where my sigil is and I blush a lot. His hand is literally under my shirt and bra. You know what, I'm going to watch TV to make sure nothing weird happens if I do go to sleep. I feel at home tho. I just wonder how I was when I was here. How was I in Heaven? And how was I when I had sold my soul away to Death?
