It's home time. Death smiled and went to the next burger restaurant.

There was nothing better than a little bit fast food in the evening.

Death smiled as he ate his Pizza.

In the last time he rarely smiled.

He did not know why, but for some reason he just felt so tired and exhausted the last few years.

Only eating was able to cheer him up a bit, but it only lasts for half a hour and then he got sad again.

While eating his pizza he thought about it.

The last days where just so boring. Here was the one guy, who did from a heart attack and there was the woman who did of cancer and behind the next door there was a really sick girl which had to day.

Death wasn't a bad man, but he didn't feel sorry for taking the girl with him.

He didn't feel compassion, not even anger, he wasn't even scared.

He was so old, he was older than god. He had seen everything that can be seen and more.

And sometimes, just sometime he thought about taking a holiday. Having free time, traveling trough the Universe (meeting Doctor Who) and being seen by the people there.

With the ring on his finger, he was invisible. He was Death and by touching he killed people and a reaper brought them away.

But... It just got boring, doing the same job over and over again, year after year, century after century. He did his job, his purpose since millions of years.

And even if the diseases changed from century to century he just felt bored.

There was no difference if he got the people in America, who died from cancer or heart attack or if he got the people in Africa who starved to dead. He also clearly remembered the plague and it didn't made any difference to today, except there died less human beings, but for him it didn't made a difference. Dead was dead no matter how they died. Car crash? - Dead. Plane crash? - Dead. Killing Clowns? - Dead.

But he had seen every possible way. He had seen people die in all kind of different possibilities and after so many years it wasn't fun anymore. It was just boring.

It was literally boring him to death.

But what should he do? He couldn't just leave.

Death smirked. For some reasons it definitely would be amusing seeing all the people near to death and because he wasn't there they couldn't die.

But it would change the natural order from the nature.

So he wasn't able to put the work down for one day and lean back. He had to work all day and all night.

And there was many work to do.

But... Death smiled as he suddenly had an idea.

There was somebody who was able to be Death too. So why not?

He had to call Dean. But first he needed something to make Dean do it.

He looked at the list of people who were going to die soon and he smirked. That was perfect.

Death knew that Dean would to anything to protect them.

He smirked and then he just vanished into thin air.

Just a moment later he appeared in front of Dean.

"Hello Dean."

Dean opened up his eyes and looked frightened at Death.

"But... Why are you here? My time isn't up. And here is also no Reaper.", he said really fast.

"No, no, don't be afraid. I am not going to kill you, but..."

Death smiled again.

"What? What but? What do you mean?"

"Well, but your girlfriend Lisa, you know the girl with the brown hair is going to die in a car accident soon."

"You... you are kidding aren't you?"

"Yeah, I'm being incredible sarcastic."

"What... Why are you telling me that? What do you want me to do?"

"Hm not much, just make sure I have some free time the next week. Will you do it?"

"Yes. Yes I will do it, but you have to save Lisa and Ben."

"I will do it. And now enjoy your job." Death reached the ring to him and turned around. "Wait here for Tessa, she will be here soon."

Dean just starred at the ring in his hand, and as he looked up Death was gone.

Dean sighed. He hated it to be Death. It was hard and he didn't know if he would be strong enough, but he had to save Lisa. First Death forced him to eat pizza and now he wanted Dean to be his successor.

But it would be only be for a short time.

Dean exhaled deeply then he slipped the ring on his finger. He felt like Frodo.

"So are you ready to start?", Tessa asked him.

Dean shook his head, but Tessa just smiled. "Come on, we have many things to do."

"No wait. I have to let Sam and Cas know where I are."

Tessa sighed and snap with her fingers. Suddenly there appeared a peace of paper on the desk. Dean walked towards it and grabbed it. The paper said: "Dean is going to be Death for the next few weeks. Don't worry, he will be healthy when he comes back. And Cas you may should try to find him. - Death."

"He has given it to me. Now come on, we have to kill some people."

Tessa smiled mocking and she touched Deans Hand and zapped him to another place.

A old man was sitting at a table.

"What has he got?"

"Heart attack in three, two..." Dean walked up to the man and as the Stranger grabbed his chest and choked on his drink he touched him and immediately the man died.

He was a spirit standing next to his body and looking down to it.

"Well I knee some day would be this day. Am I dead?" Dean nodded. "I knew it. Well am I going to heaven now?"

Dean glanced at Tessa, she nodded and so he smiled at the old man. "Yes you are. She is going to guide you."

The old man also smiled and walked up to Tessa. She grabbed his hand and carried him away.

Dean closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them again Tessa was standing in front of him.

"That was good. Now we have some other to bring away."

The next one who died was a young man, who had an car accident because he drove to fast. He was shocked and didn't want to go, but Tessa grabbed him and brought him away.

There were many other people Dean had to kill. One died because he was shot by a gangster, another one was a child, who was death-sick. Today he "killed" people from every age, race and gender. It doesn't matter. He had to do it.

After the day was over Tessa smiled at him for a second.

"You should put the ring of and sleep for a hour or two. Relax. There is nobody going to die now. I will wake you then."

She vanished and Dean was alone.

He just sat onto his bed. He didn't want to take the ring of. He just sat on his bed and starred at the wall.

Hopefully Lisa and Ben were alright.

He just felt something cracking inside of him and his eyes filled with tears but he fought them back.

It was so hard. He hated it. He didn't want to be Death. He didn't want to have to kill people, but he had to, to save his family.

And he knew being Death wasn't easy. It would be hard to make this week but he had to do it for Lisa and Ben.

He slipped the ring of his finger and fell asleep immediately.

Only a moment later Tessa was standing in front of him.

"And did you sleep good?"

Dean shook his head. "No."

"Well, put the ring on, we gotta go."

Dean sighed and reached out for the ring.

The day was really exhausting. He had to take a little girl with him, she only was about 9 years old, and many other people died.

When he got back to his room he just sat on his bed. He tried really hard to fight back the tears tearing into his eyes but he couldn't hold them back.

No, don't be a crybaby, Dean. Stop crying, he told himself and he swallowed his tears.

Then he got up and ate a little bit. He had to stay strong to save Lisa and Ben.

Afterward he just fell asleep.

The next day was similar to this, but in fact he really cried in the evening, hid in his blankets and cried, because he felt so awful for killing all these people, all these children...

The next day he touched a little child who died from hunger, another old man with a heart attack, a baby that died because it was to young. And this was only a short percentage of the people he really "killed".

Dean didn't let it went near him, he stayed in focus, did his job, but in the evening he really broke down.

Tessa seemed to understand it, she let him alone in the night, and he only had to work at day. She took the ring and got the people, who died at night.

But on this day Dean couldn't do it anymore. He needed help.

So he prayed, prayed for Castiel to come. "Castiel, I know you are busy.", he said. "But if you can hear me, please, please help me. I can't stand this anymore. You have to help me!"

Dean heard the rustle of feathers and he smiled.

"Dean what is happening? Why are you Death?"

"I had to do this. He said Lisa is going to die, and I want to save her, but... I can't stand it anymore. It's to hard."

Cas just sat next to Dean and whispered: "Sleep now, we will talk tomorrow."

Then he touched Deans Forehead with two fingers and Dean fell asleep immediately.

Cas sighed and went to search Death.
