"WHAT!", she shrieked. "That's impossible!"
"You don't seem to have much of a choice", he told her, flicking off the cigarette. "You already accepted the offer."
"Fine!", she barked.
Hearing that, he smirked and walked away.
And that was the first time Evangeline Hawkins had a proper conversation with the Angel of Death.

Courting Death | Book 3
[BOOK THREE] "Falling in love was never a plan, Minnie." I sighed, fingers reaching up to rub my temples as I blinked my very translucent eyelids. "I was never courting death. No pun intended. And now I'm quite literally a few thousand feet underground, possibly dead, and in love with an eon-old spirit. What else could happen?" *** She had honest to god tried so hard as to stay out of harm's way. However, Addison's new found friendship with Death himself was enough to force her to make the worst decision of her life: Jump in front of a poisonous dart that could kill off an immortal god-like being just so she could protect the cynical spirit she had fallen in love with. Oh, and was it mentioned that the spirit was actually Death himself and had been trying to kill her off just a year ago? Yeah, that happened. Now stuck in the underworld of hell itself, Addison needs to find her way back to the land of the living. With only one of her best friends, Minnie Hoover, as a companion through this deadly (not so much for her since she's already stone cold dead) mission, as well as the said spirit by her side, the blonde stunner has five days to find her way back to life before she would be shipped off into the reincarnation system. And thus losing herself, and her friends, forever. How hard could it be? After all, Addison didn't need to worry about being stabbed in the back again (in every sense of the word). Perhaps all it takes is the one thing she tried to avoid from the beginning. A kiss from Death himself. ***** Highest Rank Fantasy: #7Complete

The Timeless Age Of Love
He never expected to find out so soon, what it was like to die, but he did. He never wanted to find out what it was like to be a Fallen angel but he still fell and he certainly did not want to be a part of hell and its Angels but he wanted revenge. For hundreds of years, Death roamed the earth killing and collecting evil souls and dragging them down to the bottomless pit of hell. Masking his pain with terror, he continues to wreak havoc, destroying every thing and everyone in his path; robbers, bullies, murderers. He despises them down to his very core. He was cold and heartless. Now sat a empty hole in the space where his heart should've been. He thought he had lost everything, but did he really? Only time can tell. ************** Aylin Valenski spent her days with her nose almost always in a book and working at the aquarium. Her life was very normal, great siblings, friends and no problems or at least so it seems for now. A chilling event at the hospital leaves Aylin rethinking her life. When Aylins eyes meet those of Death, what will happen? Will memories be resurfaced or will evil separate them again? ***************************************** "You're not heartless, you are just in pain. Heartless would mean that you didn't care at all and from where I see it, you do care even if it's the size of the tiniest grain of sand you'd ever find. You are just in pain and just like the rain, it will go away eventually, no matter how long the rain lasts, the rainbow will eventually come and the rain will stop. You do care." -S. PERSAUD

Guns And Laces (Sinbound Series) ✔️
"You were a nurse, no?" I asked her. "Now, I am a stripper." She replied with a hint of agitation in her tone. At loss of words, I stayed quiet as she turned to walk away. Even in the dark sky of light, I could make out her perfectly carved figure and with a newfound interest, I started to walk behind her. She turned around with a frown marred on her face, "Don't follow me." I grabbed the back of her head and pushed her against the wall, "What are you doing here?" Her violet eyes lit up with a fire, "I don't see how that's your business." Her voice was naturally soft but her tone was harsh. And that ticked me off. Pressing my body against hers, I answered, "You are my business, Rheannon. I own that club." I could feel the rapid rise of her breathing just before she pushed me away, "You own that club, Angelo. Not me." Saying that, she ran away. - Rheannon Aurora Pallas, an excellent nurse who have always outdone her duties, had to leave the hospital she worked at as well as the country she called home.

The Grim Reaper's Girl
This is a story about the Grim Reaper and the souls he delivers. The Grim Reaper delivers souls from earth to what most comprehend as the 'afterlife'. When there is the occasional resistance from unwilling souls, he'll retrieve an old memory or feeling of theirs and let them experience it again. It usually works to persuade them to leave the world - souls who had suicidal thoughts in the past, those who lost loved ones and didn't want to continue living without them, and those who did something wrong and felt huge crushing guilt. Until he met a soul who never felt like she wanted to die before.Complete
