Zak POV

Immediately after last chapter

"I need you to kill yourself. Like that video game you play, you will respawn. But as someone else. But we can't have Zak and his life getting in the way of my plans. You have two days to tie up loose ends. If you don't you will be punished. Good day." And my new boss disappeared in a plume of smoke.

I sighed. I guess I had to do this. I grabbed Rat and Rocco and put them in my car and drove out to my parents house.

They asked why and I said I was meeting up with one of my friends and needed someone to watch them.

Then I cleaned up my apartment. I located Darryl's sweatshirt. "Devil dude?" I called.

The man appeared again. "What do you need. I'm a busy guy so this better be quick."

"Can I... Can I have this with me when I die and 'respawn'? I will work twice as hard I promise." I mumbled.

He groaned. "Fine. Give me the sweatshirt and your arm."

I did as he said and he pulled up my sleeve.

He dug one of his unusually sharp nails into my skin and I cried out. He dragged his knife like finger up my arm creating a large cut that was gushing blood. He covered the sweatshirt in my blood and whispered a few words. The blood sank into the sweatshirt and disappeared. My cut sealed up and in its place was a tattoo of the sweatshirt.

I looked at him greatfully "Thank you sir."

He nodded. "Just work hard." And he disappeared again.

I pulled Darryl's hoodie on and pulled out my phone. I grabbed a knife and sat in the bathtub, as to not bleed out over my floor. I tweeted out one final tweet as Skeppy.

@ skeppyextra:
Hi guys. I wanted to tell you guys a few things. First of all, this journey with you has been amazing and I wouldn't change a thing. Second of all, even when I'm gone (which will be soon) I want my server to still be playable. I want people to enjoy it even when I'm gone and I'm handing it off to Mega, Spifey, Zelk, Vurb, Finn, Harvey and most of my other staff to watch over. I just can't stay in this world. I'm sorry. I love you all so much and just keep in mind I'll be with the one I love so dearly soon. (Darryl. Yes the Skephalo shippers were right). Again, I love you all. Goodbye.

I hesitated before pressing post. But when I did within seconds I was already getting spammed by my friends. I powered off my phone before I the tears came.

They finally fell as I pressed the knife against my neck and pressed down roughly.

I felt a sharp pain there before it went black.

Years later

Darryl POV

It hurt. It really hurt watching the boy I loved get killed and respawn every time, each time with the same black and red hoodie and a new scar to show how he has died before.

But he was finally nearing the end of his term. It was his final day. I was practically bursting with excitement to see him.

I couldn't wait.

Zak POV

My eyes flew open. It was my last day, I could see Darryl by the end of today. And my sister and mom and dad and Rocco and everybody else.

I sat up. The devil had no tasks for me today so I had today to myself.

I spent the day walking around town. My current body was a 14 year old male with black hair and bright blue eyes. With small freckles dotted across my face.

I was actually pretty cute all things considered.

A couple people from my middle school waved at me and I ignored them. I reached the forest and waited for the time to arrive. The time of the deal. Exactly 5:07 PM. I stayed there for the remaining hours.

At the exact time of the original deal the familiar face of my boss, or now ex boss.

"It seems your years have been completed. Hope to see you again Zak. It was a pleasure working with you. Now go enjoy your eternity with your lover and family." He smiled bittersweetly.

I was slightly sad to be leaving his company. He had become my friend over the years we had worked together. Maybe that's why he was smiling.

"Goodbye old friend." He held his hand out.

I took it. "Indeed."

And we shook our hands and the world went black.

I opened my eyes and was suddenly aware of large wings sprouting from my back. I looked back and saw big light blue wings with small diamond crystals in between the feathers.

I knew I was myself again and I stood up. I still had my scars and Darryl's hoodie but other than that I knew I was completely myself.

I looked around the area there were other people there. All with wings of different colors, styles, and sizes. I followed the majority heading toward an exit. I went through a couple gates and reached the other side. On the other side there was a big group of people waiting for me. And Darryl was at the front.

He was the exact same as I remembered him. Except without the horns and tail.

He ran forward and I met him in the middle.

He pressed his lips against mine.

"Finally. I told you I would wait for you." He exclaimed after pulling away. The pure elation in his tone filled the void in my heart that had developed over the years without him.

I smiled softly. "I always knew you would."

Yay part 2! Sorry it's so short I'll try and get another one out tonight. I have a lot of ideas anyway. Anyway, hope you enjoyed! Love you all!

Cya my children's!
