Kurt was sitting in a booth at some road side diner, trying to enjoy his plain salad as best he could, Finn happily eating a cheeseburger when his phone rang.

"Hey mom…Yup just here with Kurt…it was fine…sure we'll check it out…alright talk to later…love you."

Kurt was watching Finn in anticipation, by the sounds of it Finn had just taken on another job, and truthfully he wasn't in the mood for it. "Well, what did Carole have to say?"

"First she says she loves you and to stay safe" Kurt smiled and nodded, gesturing Finn to continue.

"Says there's a town in Wyoming, where nobody has died in the past week, thinks it could be something, so we better get a move on" Finn finished up his burger, drank the last of his soda and stood up looking down at Kurt uneasy.

"Ummm…do you want a box or?" Finn asked unsure of what Kurt was thinking, he hadn't said anything since he told him about the job.

Kurt sat for a minute, staring at his half eaten salad "No, I'm good let's go" he said as he threw his fork down. Guess today wasn't his day off.


Kurt and Finn arrived in town and began doing a little research. First they talked to a man who was shot at point blank range, trying to determine if maybe he had made a deal with a cross roads demon. It became apparent he didn't know what they were talking about. Dead end.

Finn came back from interviewing another 'miracle survivor' a man who was clinically dead, now suddenly alive. No signs of him making a deal. For his part, Kurt has concluded that the last death in town was that of young boy named Grayson, well over a week ago.

"So what do you think?" asked Finn as went to the fridge taking out a beer, sitting down at the table.

"I don't know maybe it's a miracle" replied Kurt, refilling his coffee mug, taking seat across the table.

Finn let out a small laugh "Yeah, I wish that were the case but when do miracles just happen?"

Kurt took a sip of his coffee, shrugging "I don't know. There's no deals being made, no creepy faith helpers, people are just not going into the light. "

Finn's eyes brightened as he said that "Maybe" he said eagerly "that's the problem. There's no one to take them to the other side."

Kurt thought about it for a second "Reapers?"

"Yeah if there's no reaper in town, then no one ain't dying." Finn stated proudly, it all made sense.

"I don't know" Kurt said unconvinced "I doubt Reaper's get time off for a job well done."

"Well then let's talk to someone who might know" Finn replied as he point to Grayson's obituary on the table "If he's the last one to die, maybe he saw something."


That night Kurt and Finn went to the graveyard in an attempt to summon Grayson. They were putting the final touches on the ritual when Kurt spoke up "I feel weird about this whole job"

"Why?" Finn questioned Kurt was rarely the one to be troubled by a job.

"It just feels wrong; I mean if we succeed then everyone just starts dropping dead. It just feels wrong" Kurt said in a hushed tone as he kicked the dirt around him.

Finn finished up the ritual, straightening up "But it's the natural order Kurt, it should be put back in balance"

Kurt laughed sarcastically in response "Yeah because we follow the natural order"

Finn sighed "Kurt, we're different. I have demon blood in me and you've been to hell. The rules don't really apply to us."

"Yeah well they should" he muttered mostly to himself.

As they were about to start the summoning spell a flash light shone their way "Hey! What going on here?" a voice called out as a man approached them.

Kurt and Finn looked down at the ritual set up before them, candles, bowl filled with various things. They both stuttered for a minute finally Finn just said "We're leaving."

"Oh, you're not going anywhere" replied the man as his eyes flipped white.

"Azizmo" Kurt replied his tone hard "thought you died back in that shack"

"Sorry to disappoint, my little disciple, now if you'll excuse me I got a date with death" he said as he flung Kurt, knocking him out as he hit a grave stone. Azizmo turned to Finn to do that same, only it didn't work.

"Not this time" Finn stated as he flung Azizmo against a tree.

Azizmo was shocked momentarily before saying "I see you've been practicing with Blaine"

"You have no idea" Finn said with a sinister smile as he went to exercise him Azizmo left his host, escaping into the night. Finn was disappointed that he got a way but was satisfied in knowing that he frightened him.


The next morning Kurt woke up, his head throbbing "Ow"

Finn looked over from the couch "You ok brother?"

Kurt sat up rubbing his head; he could feel the lump on the back of his head "Yeah, just dandy"

Finn smiled in return "Well good cause I got some news. I was going to try and contact Grayson again but then Mom called; she and Burt did some digging. Seems this reaper thing is a Seal. They have to kill a reaper under the full moon, which is of course tonight."

"Of course. And where are the angels?" Kurt asked not really expecting an answer.

Finn shrugged "I don't know but we could really use their help right about now. I mean how are we supposed to save a reaper? They're invisible. The only people who can seem them are the dead or dying."

Kurt thought about it for a second before saying "then we become ghost."


A few hours later Finn arrived with Amanda. "Astral projection? Really Kurt?"

Kurt shrugged "It's the only way."

"Yeah but it's really dangerous, are you sure about this? I mean ripping your souls from your body to take a walk on the spirit side is not a game. Not to mention the fact that you're basically smoke, you can't touch anything." Amanda finished looking at the boys seriously.

Finn and Kurt exchanged glances before Finn said "We don't really have a choice. This is the apocalypse we're talking about, kinda outweighs any risk" "As for the no touching thing" Kurt added "I seem to recalled get beat by ghost plenty of times"

"Yeah well they have years of practice" replied Amanda in defeat, clearly they were going through with this.

Finn tried to give her a reassuring smile "We're quick learners."

So with that Finn and Kurt both lied down as Amanda recited the spell in Latin. When she finished Kurt sat up "We'll so much for that idea". Amanda then gave them instructions on what to do, but it was as if she couldn't see them. That's when Kurt looked down.

"This is so weird!" Kurt exclaimed as he got up, looking down at his body still lying on the bed. Finn came up beside him "I know man, Im tripping out!"


The brothers made their way through the town, Finn perhaps having too much fun sticking his arm through people as they walked. They had been walking for about 2 hours now, and they had spotted no black smoke, no reapers, nothing. As they made their way down a neighborhood street Finn stopped.

"Hey Kurt, is it me or can that kid see us?" he said pointing up to a second story window.

Kurt took a good look at the kid, when it dawned on him "Yeah, and we've seen him too." Finn gave him a questioning look "It's Grayson" and with that the Grayson vanished from the window.

Kurt and Finn went in to talk to Grayson. After assuring him they were just here to help Grayson told them the story of how he died. He said that a man in a suit (a reaper) came to him, telling him to leave with him, but that he didn't want to, he wanted to say with his mother. Before the reaper could say another word he was taken by a cloud of black smoke. When asked if he knew where the smoke went he answered that it was at the funeral home, he had seen it again at his funeral. Grayson helped the boys move things (you have to concentrate, also being angry helps) and how to move from place to place. Thanking him for his time, and informing him that once they save the reaper, he would have to go with him, then set out for the funeral home.


Kurt and Finn stood outside the funeral home which was covered in strange markings, yet no one seemed too notice. They deduced that the writing must be between the veil, hence the reason they could see it. They crept inside the funeral home, two reapers on the floor in a diagram, and from what they could see one demon guarding them. So they used their ghost tricks to attack him, knocking him out, that's when another demon rushed from behind the curtain, looping a chain around the pillars, trapping them, for the chain was pure iron.

They stood there trapped when Azizmo walked out clapping "I knew you'd show up" one of the demon flunkies handed him a shotgun and Azizmo wasted no time shooting Kurt in the chest. "Rock salt" he said laughing at Finn's terrified expression "Not so fun now is it?"

When Kurt reappeared, Azizmo promptly shot Finn, Kurt looked on horrified "You can keep shooting us but you can't kill us" he said his voice breaking slightly, it really did hurt getting shot with rock salt.

"Is that so?" smirked Azizmo

Just then back in the hotel room Amanda was sitting on a chair between the two beds, watching over the boys when she heard a noise. She looked around but saw nothing, none the less she got up to check the door, and it was locked. She then noticed that the window was open, a little more apprehensive she made her way back to the boys when a demon lunged at her. She tried her best to fight him off, trying desperately to reach Finn or Kurt to say the incantation that would wake them up. Finally she kicked the demon to the ground, she barely made it to Finn, saying the incantation when the demon pulled her down and stabbed her in the stomach.

At the same time back in the funeral home Kurt and Finn watched in horror as Azizmo recited a ritual, killing one reaper. He was moving on to the next one when Finn looked up at the ceiling, a light was hanging directly around the diagram, if they could just get it down it might break the diagram freeing the reaper.

Finn looked up at the light fixture and concentrated on dropping it with everything he had. Subtly he reached for Kurt's hand getting his attention. Kurt saw what he was trying to do and did the same, concentrating with all his might.

Before Azizmo could finish the ritual the fixture fell, successfully breaking the diagram and the hold it had on the reaper. The reaper unhooked the iron chain, freeing Kurt and Finn, and the three of them vanished but not before Kurt gave Azizmo a finally wave saying "Sorry, maybe next time"

Kurt and the reaper had relocated outside but Finn was not with them, for he was back at the hotel.

Finn woke up with a start, looking around frantically. That's when he saw Amanda and the demon on the floor, she had just been stabbed. Finn jumped out of bed and used his powers to throw the demon against the wall, wasting no time exercising him. He ran to Amanda, she was laughing.

"Amanda?" Finn asked frightened the laughing was making him nervous.

"I can't die, not in this town" she said with a hollow laugh as she removed her hand, no blood pouring out from the wound.


Outside the funeral home the reaper thanked Kurt for his help saving her, and that she had work to do, starting with Grayson. The reaper left and Kurt took one final look at the funeral home before leaving, walking as quickly as he could. Finn was gone and he assumed he had been woken up, he needed to find him. Just then Azizmo appeared in front of him, "You can run Kurt" he drawled as he moved in closer "But I'll always find you."

Kurt stood there transfixed, just as he was about to say something lightning struck down on Azizmo and he was gone.

Kurt's jaw dropped in surprise "What the hell?" he muttered "Guess again" came a voice from behind. Kurt's eyes widened as he recognized that voice.

Kurt turned around to see Sebastian standing behind him, smirking in delight. He clapped slowly "Congrats you just saved a Seal and we got Azizmo. Everyone deserves a win at some point."

"Yeah, no thanks to you" Kurt replied a bit too harshly.

Sebastian's smiled faded "You're yelling at me, why?"

Kurt took a deep breath "I'm sorry. But you were here the whole time?"

"Enough of it" Sebastian shrugged still sore from Kurt's outburst.

"We could have used you in there. Rock salt hurts like a bitch" he said rubbing his chest, as if it still hurt him.

Sebastian looked at him, fixating on where he was rubbing his chest. "Would if I could. But the script on the home kept me out."

A wave of realization passed over Kurt "It was angel proof."

Sebastian gave him a wink "Bingo. Why do you think I called Finn in the first place?" he smiled trying to keep the mood light.

Kurt rolled his eyes "That was you?" Why pretend to be Carole, why not just ask us yourself?"

Sebastian laughed "Please, Kurt. It seems whatever I ask of you, you're determined to do the complete opposite."

Kurt couldn't help but blush, he was about to deny it but as much as he hated it, it was the truth, so instead he changed the subject "So what now, everyone who was 'saved' just start dying?"

Sebastian sighed giving him a sad look "Yes. Everyone has their time Kurt; these people just got a little extra, but times up."

"But why? Why can't you make an exception, why not spare some of these people" Kurt mused even though he knew the answer. Finn was right there was a natural order that had to be maintained but he couldn't help feeling guilty when he himself had gone against the order.

"Everyone has their time" replied Sebastian as if that was all the explanation needed.

He just couldn't take it anymore "Then why me? Why did I get more time?" he asked in a rushed voice, letting it all out.

Sebastian smiled at him tenderly "Because you're special Kurt" and with that he was gone.


Kurt only had a second to dwell on what Sebastian said before he was pulled back to the hotel room. He woke up slowly, getting up quickly when he sees Finn holding an injured Amanda.

Kurt rushed to her side "Oh Amanda, I'm so sorry" he said fighting back tears "I never meant for this to happen."

Amanda's wound started bleeding "Guess the reaper's back in town" Finn held her closer "I'm so sorry" he repeated. She then motioned for him to come closer.

He leaned down closer and she whispered in his ear "I know what you're doing Finn. You may think its good, but guess again" she gave him a serious, pleading look before slowly closing her eyes for the final time.

Finn just stared forward, eyes wide, not answering Kurt's continued question of "What did she say."
