Death haveing rested a bit, and played with his bony friends in the lake, shook out his cowl and decided it was time to return to Melissa. Never having had to worry about looks before, he thought last time about what Melissa said he should try , the red cowl, and liked it. So he willed it, so it was. Looking at himself in the lakes reflection, he thought he might look better, hard to tell with all that fog and mist. But he felt better for trying and winked out Melissa's hiome once again.
this time it was dark and he saw no one in the fron room. He waw a dim light coming from another part of the apartment, so he guietly went toward it. the door it led to, was open jusat a scant bit, enought for Death to see Melissa on her knees in front of the bed. He thought "prayng, perhaps she is." Opening the door......
"Hi, Im back, and Im all clear to listen to...."
Death backed quickly out of the room as things began to fly toward him.
he could hear her as she was coming out" what in the name of all that wrong in this world are you doing here again, and now of all times. Couldnt you see that I was busy? Shit, what does it take to get through to you? I am a working girl, dont you know what that means?" Melissa was naked, and beautiful eyes were flaring fire daggers at him.
" I I I "
Death didnt know what to say. He had ver little experience with humans, and Melissa was the first one had ever really talked to. Not knowing what he had done wrong, be just stood there with his bright new red cowl hood pointed down to the ground, shuffling his boney feet, rattily noises coming from his toes.
"I have a guy in there, BOB!!! I was trying to pay my rent and buy some school books at the same time BOB!!! I was trying to earn a little extra BOB!!! Until you, BOB, decided that it was once again okay to interrupt my life, BOB!!!
Death couldnt say a ting. this was worse than facing any of Herselfs Goddesses on a bad day. Melissa went back into the room and Death heard a quiet but furious conversation being held. obviously this guy didnt like what had happened, and Melissa was stating pretty loudly that he had gotten his moneys worth, so pay up and leave. the man was having none of it, and he heard Melissa exclaim out loud in pain after what sounded like a slap on skin. Death not liking that his his friend might be in there hurg, and helpless, he barged right in again. what he saw was Melissa laying across the bed, her hand on her reddening cheek, the man standing over her, equally naked ready to strike his Melissa again. the man looked over toward the door, not really understanding who he was, started to step toward him.
"No, Bob, dont do anything to him, just get out of here!!!."Melissa screamed
This pansy assed red gowned faggot is gonna do what to me?" The man turned full bodied toward Death. At this point Death looked up and now the man could see the skull under his cowl hood."
"What the hell?" and he dropped to his kneews, groping for his clothes blindly.
Death was thinking " hell, exactly".
When hed had his pants, he scrambled out eneath Deaths gaze, out of the door, throwing bills after him for melissa. Neither Death or Melissa moved until they heard the front door shut loudly.
Athe same time Melissa reached for a robe, Death backed out of the room, gathering as he went what he knew was earth money, laying them on the coffee table and sitting down.
Melissa came into the room, her robe tightly wound around her, glancing at the bills on the table, she reached for them and giggling toherself as she counted them, "wow almost makes it worth it. he left me twice what I was hoping to make." She sat opposite of Death and looked at him. "I guess i should thank you, though zi dont want to."
:S-ok," Death said guietly. He didnt really know what to say at this point or how to start. It seems like every time he met up with her it ws like he had just met her again. If he had a tongue, you might say he was tongue tied, once more.
"Well its been about another year, is this gonna be a yearly vacation for you, or are ya just checking to see when its my time to go. cause I tell ya, I am not ready to go, not for awhile yet."
