(Warning: swearing, beginning of something, pain)

     That night was strange. I woke up to find that Roman left a long with everyone else. Remy left a note saying something about a reaper going rouge, taking lives as they please and shit. Odd. I grabbed my sythe from the ceiling and made my out into the city to collect souls.

    I turned down an alley way to collect the soul of a small black cat. I crouched down and pet the cat while it passed on, petting its soul after it did. "Come live with me little one." I offered, earning an echoey purr from the cat. The cat soul followed me around while I collected more.

Then I saw it.

   I saw another reaper, undeniably Jackyl. I gulped when I saw what he was doing. He was the rouge reaper. Trying to think fast, I ducked behind a few trash bags that were stacked on the street. This isn't good. Sythes are like regular weapons to us. If I get hit with his sythe, I wont heal fast and I have a feeling it would do worst than normal. I kept my head low as I watched him take innocent lives.

    I pulled out my phone, recording a video before calling Remy. "Hey guurl!" I shushed him and whispered into the phone. "Remy, Im watching the rouge reaper right now." I heard a gasp. "Really!? Hold on. Okay Virge, you're on speaker." I took a deep breath. "Im watching Jackyl right now. He's deffinently rouge." I heard Thomas and a few others talking on the other line. "I can't get away so Im hiding the best I can. Please get here soon. I think he- shit!" I shouted after knocking over the trash bag on the top, catching Jackyl's attention. I got up and started running, screaming into the phone. "Back up! I need back up! He's chasing me! Guys!" The line went dead.

(Switch to Remy's POV)

    The other reapers and me stared at the phone in shock. "Well don't just stand there! Lets go!" Thomas shouted, stretching out his wings. We all took off, trying to make it too Virgil as fast as we could. This shit is crazy!

    When we got to the scene, Jackyl was passed out. It looked like he had been sliced a couple times before hand. This bitch is crazy! I could really use a starbucks right about now. "Where's Virgil?" Thomas asked, looking around. I froze as soon as I saw it. Virgil's sythe lay on the ground near the alley with a trail of blood leading into the dark in between on buildings. "Over there babes" I pointed out, too afraid to go over there myself.

    "Follow me" Thomas ordered. I sighed before following him over to the alley. We froze at what we saw. There was Virgil, on his knees facing away from us. "Virge?" I said, my voice trembling. Then we saw it. He whipped his head around.

    Irises purple and the whites of his eyes now grey. Fangs sharper, veins pulsing with purple venom. He looked rabid.

We all heard him say in a demonic, echoey voice that sent shivers down my back. Black tar looking liquid started to drip from his eyes and the wound that bled down his right arm. I almost puked.

Oof.

I hope you are enjoying this story so far and I hope you are having a great day/night!

Take it easy guys, gals, and my fellow non-binary pals! Peace out!
