Part #1-Goodbye

Her small heeled shoes clicked furiously against the tiled floor of the Shiningami headquarters as she stormed down the hallway, short and boyish hair falling even more into a tousled disarray.

"Scarlett, wait!"

She didn't stop. "Leave me alone, Spears." The female spat over her shoulder carelessly.

"Scarlett, please," the male Reaper's usually monotone voice sounded close to its breaking point.

She whirled around to face him.

"What?" she demanded. "Don't even try to say you're sorry! Because I doubt that the words 'I'm sorry' will fix the damage you've done!"

"Scarlett, I-"

"Shut up! How can I ever forgive you for those words? And of all the people to say them to, you chose Knox! How could you say that I'm going to die at the hands of-of-of-"

"A demon." He said softly before looking at her with pleading eyes. "But, Scarlett, please, just listen."

But it was too late. The only thing she felt was a furious-beyond-all-reason, white-hot rage towards him.

"No, William! I won't bloody listen! I've heard enough! I'm done! I quit! I'm done here and I'm done with you!"

"Scarlett, I'm begging you, please don't do this." He said, gently grabbing onto her wrist.

She slapped him. "Don't you dare touch me!"

William felt tears cloud his green eyes. "Scarlett…" his voice broke.

"Goodbye, William."
