I wake up the next morning. Floods of what happened and everything from yesterday came back to me. I get up and threw something across the room angrily. I look up noticing the hole is bigger. "That wasn't like that last night," I said aloud. "I fell through again," Adrian says as he pokes his head through the hole. "YOU!" "Hehehe. Yep". I cross my arms. "Hehehe. Don t look so upset you know this happens to me all the time". He says smiling. "That hole is not the issue!" I tell him. "Then what is?" He asks. "You knew what happened to me and you sat there while he did that to me enjoying it. I didn't know what I was doing and you knew! You have power over pretty much every reaper here you could have stopped him and told him...and you just...sat there..." I told him trying not to cry."If I had tried intervention Drax wouldn't have listened. It's his job to keep others safe and if he feels that he or another reaper is threatened then he will take action." Adrian explains. " I understand that Batzy. But you're stronger you could have helped me. The worst part was you enjoyed it." I said sitting down. "Hehehe. Even if I did get him to stop then he would just worry for the rest of the night." I shook my head. "It's not funny Batzy!" "I find everything funny dearie". He says."So do I but there are limits." "I think you still have Drax worried to come to think of it," he says." You know I would never do that otherwise. Im terrified." I admit. "You should go make sure he knows." "Ok."
When I knock on the door Drax answers with his scythe in hand. I stand frozen. He gives me a look that could freeze over the hottest summer day. 'Oh, im in for it.' He lets me in and we sit in the living room. "Why are you here?" He asks eventually." I... I wanted to explain what happened and why I did and said what I did." I tell him. My voice is shaky. "Then explain."I take a deep breath and start. "Well, I was talking with Adrian then got teleported away. Lucifer wished for Prue to kill me. She had no choice but she slammed me so hard to the ground that gave me a concussion and temporary memory loss. I didn't remember anything or anyone. I didn't know who I was either. So that's why I was like that. While I admit it was inexcusable for the way I acted I don't know how many rules I broke but I wasn't myself. I didn't even remember who Adrian was and we hang out all the time. I would never ever have done that if it was any other situation. But id like to apologize for my actions. Adrian can attest to this he was there when it happened. However, I will take any punishment you see fit." I finish and he looks at me. If looks could kill. "Alright fine. Is that all?" I nod. I will go if you want me to I will understand." "Wonderful. Now get out please." He says. And I do so.
Once back in my room I lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling. A few tears fall. "Im sorry... " I trail. "Just give him a day or two and he'll be back to normal. He's kinda stressed at the moment". Adrian says trying to comfort me. "Hey, Batzy." He smiles. "Yes, dearie?" "Nothing just saying hi. What do you need?" I ask wiping my face as I silently cry again. "I've been here the whole time," he says. "Oh. I didn't know. Why?" "The parlor has no new bodies" "sounds boring," I tell him with a small smile. "But yeah, Drax is stressed at the moment, just give him a day or two." "Ok. I'll stay away until he wants to see me. And Im sorry for being mad at you Batzy. I hope you don't hate me for how I acted yesterday. It wasn't me...well it was but not what I would normally do..." I say. "Hehehe. I know. Drax knows." "Im going to bed Batzy. I will check-in later." He nods and leaves. five days pass with no word from me. Pierre and Adrian go to my dorm to check on me. They check the bathroom first and find a note. It says:
Im is sorry for everything. I didn't mean to cause trouble. Im tired of being a disappointment. I love you all but I don't deserve you as friends
Emberly PS. Stay strange Batzy! Also, I stole Prue's reaper killing blade
They look around for me. I can bear them. They see blood dripping from the ceiling. They me down from the ceiling and notice multiple stab wounds from the blade three in the stomach three in the chest and two in my neck. I continue to bleed out. My heartbeat is low but I am unresponsive. I've been there for three days. "Uh... does she know that we cant kill ou-" Pierre starts but Adrian shushes her. "She doesn't need to know," he says. Pierre groans as she helps Adrian drag me out. I groan as I wake. "I can't even die right." "Just tell her Adrian," Pierre says with a sigh. "Fine. Reapers cant commit suicide." He says. "Well...that sucks. Why not?" "Because this is our eternal punishment," Pierre says. "Oh. Like a personal hell. It's perfect. Where am I?" "Our new house! What do you think?" She says. It's a white room with a few boxes on it. I then realized that I was laying on just a blanket and pillow. "Oh. I like it. So white. I like the carpet." I say sitting up."Oww. "I groan as I check my stomach and the places I stabbed myself. "Hmm, so that's why the reaper blade didn't work... I can't use it on myself..... Hmm." I think for a moment. There was a knock on the door. Brandy walks in, her hair is singed and she is covered in ash. "What the hell happened to you?" Pierre asks."I kinda set the kitchen on fire in your old house," she says. "Wait... you did what?!" Pierre says. Brandy laughs. "You knew this was going to happen," she says with a smile.
"Thanks. Not only do I wanna die even though I can't. At least not by myself....she says quietly...Now I wanna go on a pyro rampage." I say with a smile. "None of that made sense but ok" Brandy says. I facepalm. "Never mind." "Wanna come with and enjoy the show?" "Uh yes!" We get to a place where people are protecting." So..your a demon? Don't take this the wrong way but you don't smell like a typical one." I tell her. "I'm a different type of demon. I still feast on the life source of every human being, reapers loath it but tho core is astonishing". She says. "That's because it interferes with our work. But I do love a good killing. I may be the youngest blood-lusting reaper in this whole realm. Wait...its the same smell as Alastor. You're an overlord?" "Yep. It has its perks" she answers. A familiar face greets Brandy. "Hey, brandy. Miss me?"
