You walked through the snow. It was freezing, the winter air nipping at your skin.

Snatcher wouldn't let you bring a coat, what a jerk.
You were going to go to this manor to kill, as Snatcher put it, "That wicked old hag".
You didn't want to, but you have your soul on the line, and it's not like you have a choice.

You finally made it, and found the door was covered in snow. So you went around back. What I mean by went around, I mean ran because of the headless statues. You were shrieking like a baby, then you fell down the stairs into the basement.

Water filled your nose. You quickly snorted it out, did I mention the water was cold? You found the door unlocked, and went up.

You almost screamed when you saw the frozen cat. You were crying silently. Suddenly the basement door SLAMMED. You turned around, only to find the one who slammed it, a creepy shadow lady.

Her red eyes glared into your (e/c) eyes. You were frozen in fear. You tried to run, but to no avail, she had grabbed your hair/shirt, and spun you around. She had a steel grip on your hair/shirt, and in a surprisingly good sounding voice, said,

"What's a small jewel like you doing here? He sent you, didn't he?"

You were too scared to answer, so instead you nodded hesitantly. Her grip on your hair/shirt released.

"Please, call me Vanessa, sorry if I scared you. It's just oh so lonely here, all alone. I usually freeze all who trespass, but ever since he sent that kid, I decided, why not make small talk instead?"

You were confused, Snatcher sent a KID?! Well, if she was talking about him, then it would make sense, who else would Vanessa be talking about? But a KID?! When you get out of here, you'd have to have a chat with him about it.

You quickly pulled out the knife you had hidden in your jeans. The knife found itself hilt deep into her neck.

She reared back and let out a horrifying howl, and fell to the floor. Lifeless.

Unknown to you, the knife Snatcher had given you had a soul killing curse on it. That's why it was able to kill Vanessa.

You felt awful. You fell to your knees, and cried. She seemed nice, yet you killed her without a reason. Yes, she had frozen many others, but she was willing to start over.

Suddenly, the noodle appeared behind you.

"FINALLY! THAT OLD BITCH IS DEAD!!!! OH WOW!! THANKS ALOT  KID!!!"

He said, ruffling your hair after.

"But now that she's gone, I don't need you anymore. Goodbye.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

He stared at your lifeless body, feeling somewhat sad. He had already eaten your soul, and had notified the Conductor to take the body.

He felt bad, about you and Vanessa.

She wanted to make things better, yet I had her killed.

It doesn't matter. It's been done.

==================================

"Thank you, Moonjumper." The Snatcher said to his "friend".

"No problem my dear ghost, anything for you."

Moonjumper then took the curse of the knife, as Snatcher undid the binding spell that tied Moonjumper to the Horizon.

"Thank you, oh I had spent so long up there. What has it been? 347 years? Either way. Thanks. Anything else, my dear?"
