You're gone from here
Soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
'Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

"Sure, I'm the great death collector. Amazing right? No! I hate it when the dead souls come to me asking me for favors like i'm some stupid fairy! Not to mention the annoyance some people have, and it's only the really testy ones, usually they're scared off their butt, yet some like to test me! Ugh why do people have to be so annoying?"
"Didn't think that people would actually talk to you." She looked up at me cheerfully for some reason. " Well except me."
"Well you're different. I don't know why you just are." I sigh heavily and stand up, almost hitting my head. "Lily i have to go now, gotta do my rounds before i can come see you again"
"That's fine, i'll have something ready for you to eat then." She smiles and opens the door for me.
"Thank you." I go out and jump out the open window. A car crash happened. "Here we go again"

I finish up my rounds and go back to Lily's apartment. For the past 3 weeks I've been visiting her. She saw me when I was collecting souls from the cemetery not too far from here. She didn't question me or anything, she simply followed me from a distance. Then when i was about to leave she grabbed my shoulder and told me to come sit with her for a while. Was she on my rounds? Shouldn't have been right? Or maybe so.....It could've been possible but i never got her Letter. Maybe another reaper got it. Psychics can't see us either, and she's human as well.
"Lily?" I call out into her apartment trying not to knock over stuff.
"Oh you're back! Ok i've been trying out this new recipe, it's animal guts, mixed with a human blood broth. I added some things in there I think you might like as well." I forgot to mention the things about Reapers. We need human blood or just any blood in general to make sure we have energy. Usually The wendigos from the west help us, give us anything they don't want, or sometimes humans offer us blood or their guts.
"That sounds nice lily." She has a friend at the butcher block from down the street so she gets all of her animal parts from there. I'm guessing that time she used some of her own blood for the broth. "You're ok though right?"
"I'm fine. Now come on, i'll pour you some right now." She smiles and goes back into her kitchen. I sit down at the small dinner table and she hands me a bowl with a spoon. She's a really nice lady but.....one day she'll have to go and i'll be alone again.

The autumn night breeze hit my face as I continued to search for the souls. I have an extra letter this time. I finish up this last one and finally open the last letter. The name read 'Lily Andrews'. 'Rosegold apartments'. It was her letter. All of her information, everything about her. I have to do it...... I decide to walk back instead, and pay her one last visit.
"Lily......?" Nothing, her bedroom door was closed, she must be asleep. I make my way to her room and open the door. There her body's laying in bed but her soul is staring down at it. "Lily." I call again and her head jerks up my way. She runs over to me and gives me a hug......something i haven't had in a long time. I wrap my arms around her feeling sick to my stomach.
"I know........I was expecting you to take me the first day I saw you." She whispers, but the silence made it seem like she was yelling.
"I didn't get your letter then......i just got it." I sigh as a watch should be a tear rolls down my face and pull her out of the embrace. "Lily Andrews, i'll be your guide to the Heavens"
A/N: Something I did, it's basically an AU of my own work. It's one from another story I don't have published. Thank you Moonlight-Dark-Magic! Lyrics are " Everybody's Changing" By Keane. Bye bye~
