Sorry for the wait... this is the sequell

"Back so soon?" I hear the same bodiless voice as before.

"Was that the condition? To only let me live until I saw her once more?" I ask Death.

"No, you will live, at least for the moment. If you can endure more pain than before. It's actually quite a pity that I have to let you live. Look down, and you'll see what I mean." It says.

I do, and I see that everything from my waist down is clamped in the mouth that I saw earlier, the jaws of death.

"You are, quite literally, between the jaws of death. It really is a pity." And that is the last thing I know before the nothingness swirls away into all too familiar pain. But I will endure, for myself and Misty.
