A Reaper's Love

CHAPTER 14

Kayla was floating above the table, her eye were closed and her face was calm. Her hands were held beside her body, it was her hair that brought Mark's attention, her hair was no longer that hell's fire red he loved so much, it was now a shimmering silver.

"Kay?" Mark asked softly as he starred at her in aw, she was beauty incarnated to him at this moment.

Her eyes flashed open, her black eyes filled with the glittering of stars looked past Mark and onto the Indian souls that were still cowering before her. Slowly, and with no hint of emotions on her face, Kay raised her hand towards them, her hand began to glow as did the wounds and bondages began to glow as well on the poor souls. The grimly appearances of the slaves began to change, their greenish skin began to turn to a copper like red, their hair became coal, their eyes dark brown, filled with Brave pride once more.

Kayla, or whoever she had invoked into her body, had freed them from their bonds, the Braves stood tall in their rightful forms, no longer do they have to endure an eternity of slavery and torture from Ketchem. The Braves began to dematerialise away, finally being able to rest at peace.

"No! Ketchem shouted, "NO! NO! NO! THIS IS BLASHPAMY!! THEY BELONG TO ME! NO! YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE!!"

Kayla turned her head towards Mark and smiled, then motioned her hand from him towards the flaying mad form of the Reverend Ketchem. Mark grinned as he caught on to what the deity was saying and began to walk over the wraith, after all, he was a little hungry after putting up that shield anyways.

"You're ass is mine…" Mark grinned as he grabbed hold of the form by his neck, the wraith had lost most of his power once his slaves were freed, not he was reduced to nothing more than an over rated poltergeist.

Ketchem's spiritual from withered about s his screams of terror and indescribable pain and cries shot though the house, white shock waves blasted from the wraith's disappearing form as Mark drained the last bit of spectral essence into himself, giving him three times the pain that the evil had inflicted on Kay. The creature was no more, the wraith would keep the Reaper fed for at lest a few months.

Mark turned back and walked towards Kayla, he smiled as she starred at him with a smile of her won. Then, her eyes closed and her body became limp. Her form began to float slowly onto the table, Mark quickened his pace towards her with that same loving concern for her he had always had.

He picked her up into his arms and checked her breathing, it was steady and normal, it looked like she was just sleeping. Her hair had turned back to her dark red locks, he liked it better that way.

"Kay?" Mark gently rubber her face, but he received no response.

"Let's get you out of here…" He whispered as he carried her out of the basement and into the living room.

He laid her gently on the couch, it seemed that it took everything she had to perform the spell.

"Kay…" Mark began to rub her check, "Kay baby, wake up…"

"Is she ok?" Mark heard the child's voice from behind him, he turned and looked at the little girl that Kay had fallen in love with.

Her hair was combed and a light shade of brown, there was no bullet hole on her forehead. Her pink skin shone as did her big brown eyes. She was a cute and happy looking girl in yellow dress. Jody no longer looked like the sad little ghost that Kay had described before. She was free and now ready to join her family.

"Yeah, Jody. I think she'll be ok." Mark turned back to his love, he had to wake her.

"Kay, it's your turn to wake up…" He kissed her forehead, her eyes flutter a bit before opening.

"Did we win?" She whispered.

"We sure did, babe. You have no idea how much power you actually have." Mark kissed her lips, she wrapped her arms around him, "And Jody?"

"She's right here." Mark moved so that she could see the child.

Jody was smiling as she ran up to Kay, giving her a loving hug, "Thank you Kay, I can go to my mommy now…"

Kay held her tightly and savoured it, "You're welcome Jody, take care, ok?"

"Thank again…" Jody kissed Kay on her cheek, "Bye…"

A tear fell down Kay's eye as she watched the now happy child run and disappeared into her mother's arms. A little pain ached in her own heart for the mother she had lost, Kay would give anything to see her again.

Mark pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her, "Are you ok, Babe?"

"Yeah, just really tired. I don't remember Shalla ever passing out after casting that spell."

"I don't think it was the spell Kay, I could be wrong, but I think there's a lot more to this Avatar stuff that we know."

Kay sighed as she leaned against him, "I think I need a break from this for a while…you know, recharge my battery…"

"Vacation?" Mark chuckled.

"That sounds like a good idea, I'm sure that Dave would watch Reaper while we're gone."

Mark moved to sit beside her, but felt something soft poking from below. He reached down and pulled out the Teddy bear that was dressed identical to him. He grinned as he starred into the beady little eyes of his furry counterpart.

"Missed me that much?" He kissed her forehead, Kay smiled and grabbed his hand into hers.

"Yeah, I missed you that much."

"About this vacation, how do you feel about Harleys?"

Kay snuggled closer, "I don't care as long as I'm with you."

Mark pulled her face close to his and kissed her gently, "I am never leaving your side again, that I promise."

She kissed him back, "I believe you…"

"I love you…"

The End…for now…
