Updates will be inconsistent for this story. ⚠️ This is my first time trying out this kind of concept and publishing it right away-without fully editing or fact-checking the chapters (I only have about 10 written so far!). Because of that, I'll be taking my time to go back, clean things up, and make sure the details are right before uploading new chapters. So if you're enjoying it, don't forget to save the story! I might do batch updates once everything is polished and ready ✨

"𝑨 𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆." 𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍. "𝑰𝒇 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉," 𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅, 𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒆, "𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒉." "I love you," Jack smiled. They looked at each other for what felt like a decade. "...No. No you don't." Willow rolled her eyes. "It seemed like the part of our fight where I should say it," he smirked, only making her anger rise. "Why are you doing this?" His expression faltered for a second as he heard the fear in her voice. "Treating me like this? Do you hate me or something? Or do you just not care if I live or die?" His eyes widened briefly before he shook his head. "I don't hate you, or want you to die. But I can't like you either. Humans live a short life, I live forever." He paused, taking a breath. "I can't let myself get attached to someone that will just die on me, or put you in danger," Jack sighed, scratching his neck. Something in his voice made Willow believe this wasn't his words, but rather, words he had been told. When Willow made a deal with a reaper to save her little brother, she never expected to end up as one's bloodbag. Or, as Jack likes to call her, 𝙋𝙚𝙩. Join Willow on her journey as she discovers the hidden supernatural world that has been right under her nose for longer than she even remembers. One where love is forbidden and can get you killed. And pray to Death for her soul, because 𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯, she's gonna need it. Parts 1-2 of the Reaper's Pet trilogy

With her tight-knit group of friends by her side, high school feels predictable - lunch table gossip, late-night conversations, and dreams of escaping to a bigger world after graduation. Jade has plans for her future: a big university, a successful life, and the chance to become someone completely new somewhere far away from the place that knows her too well. But everything begins to shift when Nova Carter transfers to their school. Tall, confident, and impossible not to notice, Nova quickly becomes the center of attention - especially when his eyes start finding Jade in every room they share. As friendships deepen, feelings grow, and jealousy slowly creeps into places it was never supposed to exist, Jade will learn that not every smile is genuine... and not every friend wants to see you shine. Sometimes the people closest to you are the ones hiding the darkest shadows. And some betrayals change everything.

When the bridges shake and the buses stall, Kallen steps in. He doesn't fly, and he doesn't wear a cape.
