Reaper: Book 1

Crevan

The next morning I decided to visit Drax and Pierre. Something is thrown through the window and barely misses Pierre. "The hell?!" I said as she picks up a small rock. I looked out the window and no one was there but when I turned around Crevan was standing behind Pierre. I pulled her out of the way and behind me. Crevan crosses his arms and looks at Adrian. "Why are you helping them?" He asks Adrian. "They've been falsely accused" Adrian responds. Crevan shakes his head. "Who cares? We haven't fired someone in a century!" Crevan exclaimed. "It's not fair to fire someone for no good reason," Adrian replied. I narrow my eyes at him. "It's still fun. It's better than killing humans and demons all the time" Crevan said with a smile. "Even Mary Ann agreed that it was stupid to lock them up as that" Adrian says. Crevan rolls his eyes in response. Crevan sighs and looks at Pierre. I glare at him.

He walks over to Pierre and holds his scythe to her throat, though he doesn't seem interested in killing her. "Let her go now!" I demanded. "Why should I?" He asks. I step forward a bit. Because you have no reason to hurt her. What do you want with her? She did nothing to you." I told him. "She's a traitor". I shake my head. "No. She. Is. Not! Let her go!" "You better watch the way you talk to me. I can slit her throat right now if I wanted to". He threatens. Pierre is trying her hardest to not freak out. Crevan presses his scythe against Pierre's neck a little harder, she starts to bleed a little. This angers me more. I quickly think of something to do. 'This may be the dumbest thing I've ever done but worth it.' I tell myself. I quickly grab my knife and throw it. It hit Crevan in the foot which he looks at and goes to pull it out making him release Pierre enough for me to pull Pierre away without Pierre getting hurt. I threw Pierre at Drax once Pierre's head is away from his blade. I glare at Crevan and growl a bit. I won't let you hurt my friends. I said. "Another day then." He says as he shrugs. "Just know that this isn't the end". He says as he leaves.

Pierre rubs her neck once he leaves. "Sorry for tossing you. I had to get you quick. You ok?" I ask her. She slowly nods. "Take care of her," I tell Drax as I go to the roof to calm down and clear my head. Adrian follows me. I sigh as I sit down. Adrian sits next to me. "I'm surprised he surrendered so easily," Adrian says. "Ya me too. I thought he would have attacked me back for attacking him." I said. "I suppose he's in a good mood today," I give him a confused look. "Good?! That was good? I have a feeling im gonna pay for what I did but I don't care no one hurts my friends." I am shaking at the point. "It's the happiest he can be". Adrian said." I guess. What he said before he left has me worried. Considering I got Pierre away, attacked him, and or possibly threatened I don't know. Im surprised im alive. But that doesn't matter. Im just glad Pierre is ok." Adrian laughs. "Hehehe. She did very well-remaining calm, if she had even tried to get away herself he would have killed her". I smiled at him.

"Drax is with her right?" He asks. I nod. "I needed air so I told him to stay with her," I told him. "Good. This happens a lot actually. Reapers always get hurt or captured". I frown at him and sigh. "I do apologize for attacking your brother but I don't regret it. I'll take my punishment when whoever decides to give it." I say looking down. "No punishment," He says to me with a smile. "What? But I attacked a Sin. Isn't that a big no-no?" I ask. "Depends. He attacked first so there's no punishment". Adrian explains. "I should check on her," I tell him. He nods and waits for me on the roof. I go in and find her sleeping next to Drax. So I return to the roof.
