Nile turned back to us, three paper plates of queso fries in his hands. "Cam, chill." He said the man in front of me. Nile held a plate out to me, and I took it. "I'm Nile, that's Cam. Thank you for returning my wallet" He said and nodded his head to the man behind me. I bit my lips, trying to come up with an alias. "I'm Jo, and you're welcome." Cam spoke up, "Nile, we should move on." I smiled at Nile, turned and smiled at Cam before disappearing into the crowd.
Two minutes later.
Azrael was waiting in an alleyway.
(I realize now that I switched POVs sorry)
(You good!)
(also… Johari should bump into Azrael again)
Watching Johari disappear into the crowd, Nile smiled. Cam noticed the smile and scowled. "Don't tell me.." Nile laughed and turned his gaze to his fries. "Okay, I won't tell you." Nile began walking in the direction that Johari had gone, figuring that he would find her at some point. He knew that she had stolen his wallet. It wasn't hard to see. It also wasn't hard to see that Death was waiting for her.
Johari shoved the last of her fries into her mouth and tossed the plate into a trash can. She turned into the alley that led to her apartment and made eye contact with the Grim Reaper.
She made her scythe shine in that dark alleyway.
"Tick… tock…" She sang creepily.
Johari turned on her heel and continued walking on the street where if anyone saw her death they might mourn her. Might.
But unforunately… there was a wall blocking her now.
"Memento Mori…" She said, spinning her scythe and going after Johari
Nile and Cam followed at a distance, watching Johari weave her way through the throngs of people. A figure swept after her. It held a scythe, and both the men recognized the figure as Azrael.
She chased after Johari, knowing she couldn't run forever.
"EVERYONE HAS TO DIE EVENTUALLY!" She shouted
Nile smiled at the words. "Not everyone." He picked up his pace, breaking into a sprint and almost barreling into Azrael. He grinned at her, "Hey old friend."
"YOU IDIOT!! She was marked on my list to die!" She said, yelling at Nile.
"Now look! She's getting away!"
Nile shrugged, "Well, you can try killing me.. again, but remember what happened last time."
(I might take a while longer to reply bc I'm gonna start doing my chores.)
"Get outta my way!" She pushed Nile out the way, and started chasing Johari.
Nile watched the two females running away from him, a grim smile on his face. "You could've said excuse me."
"JOHARI MAVERS COME BACK HERE!" Azrael shouted, her scythe spinning
Johari continued running, praying for a miracle. A figure appeared in front of her and she instinctively put her arms up. "Calm down, I'm not Azrael." Johari peeked over her arms to see Nile. He grinned and held out his hand, "Do you want to live?"
"GOT YOU!" Azrael said, reaping Johari's soul.
"Yes! Finally!" Johari could still move her soul around, just not her body
(Idk what to do about that ; - ;)
Nile looked up from the now dead body, rage bubbling in his veins. "YOU DIDN'T EVEN GIVE HER A CHANCE!" Cam was standing in the background looking anxiously at his ward.
"SHE WAS ON THE LIST!!" she shouted back.
"What did you expect me to do? It's my job!'
Scowling viciously, Nile reached towards the body, his hand glowed as it touched the still warm flesh. "I intercepted you, I expected you to stop trying to kill her!"
"It's not killing if I'm the grim reaper!" She retorted.
Nile's yellow eye glowed brightly, and he glanced up at Azrael, "You killed something much worse." Withdrawing his hand Nile stood up and held his hand out to the corpse.
"Oh, like what?" She scowled, angry.
