Lorraine
We didn't utter a single word to one another for a long minute. I was busy taking a few steadying breaths, my mates the same. It's not often that we are faced with death, death personified anyway. I prefer it that way. I felt like a damn fool for having made such a deal with him. Had I taken more time to think of another option... no, it was still for the better. Mortimer was gone, permanently. Unfortunately, I seemed to trade one evil for another. But the Reaper only asked me to complete a task. He does not want to marry me or use my powers for his own sick take-over-the-world agenda. He did not wish me or my mates ill will. He just wants a rock to be destroyed. Simple enough.
Right?
"Okay, since no one else is speaking up, what the hell are we going to do about that?!" Zack
