(All right, the time has come. This is the finale! I hope i meet expectations, and I truly tried my very best to make it a unique ending. Hey, my longest chapter for my last chapter, fitting heh. Also, obviously, the people who finally survived Death once and for all shall be revealed. Remember, four places are up for grabs. Also, info on the next story shall be shown at the end. Now, without further ado, read on!!Also, there is a problem with putting seperating lines on, so im going to say BREAK when there is a break, okay. Good. )
Jenna dived for Zach, knocking him out of the way of the flying cart wheel. It smashed into a hotdog cart behind Paige, splitting apart the metal.
'Tanzi is now next... shit! She's at the hospital, but Death is here so-'Paige's thought were cut off as a bullet shot rang through the air.
Rose clutched her throat as the bullet ripped through her flesh, blood pouring from the wound. Death could feel the body dying, but he waited until the last moment to see who it was who shot him.
Detective Marley had a pistol pointed straight at Rose. He was supporting none other than Tanzi, who was leaning against his arm. Rose had a rough bandage around her stomach, and blood could be seen seeping from the wound.
"What!?" Zach exclaimed. "Who are you?"
Marley nodded. "I'm Detective Marley." He suddenly looked sheepish. "I overheard your conversation in that room and I kinda believed you. I told the police chief, but he didn't. Soon, I heard that one of you was submitted to the hospital, so I went to talk to Tanzi here. After I explained, she willingly told me everything that happened."
Paige nodded. "I have to thank you. You defeated Deat-"
Suddenly, Marley spasmed, arching his back, before looking sharply at Tanzi. "Oh? Did I?"
"Shit!" Zach exclaimed, knowing that Death had possessed Marley. Marley pointed the pistol straight at Tanzi's skull.
"Nobody move or the bitch dies!" Marley then shrugged. "Hell, she's gonna die anyway. Say you goodbyes." Marley pulled the trigger.
All of a sudden, Tanzi was pushed out of the way as Seph barraged into her. The bullet entered just above his heart. He choked and spewed blood. "Heh..." he whispered, becoming paler and paler by the second. "G-guess... so-something.... good... Jane..." He fell back, dead.
"Aww, isn't that sad." Marley sneered, shooting Seph in the head for good measure. Seph's head burst open, spreading blood all over the floor.
Paige half covered her mouth, and then widened her eyes when Marley pointed the pistol at her. 'No...'
Tanzi hit into Marley, so Marley's aim went off. The bullet penetrated Jenna's abdomen. She yelled in pain as blood immediately spewed from her wound. Her face became pale, as she tried to stop the bleeding.
Marley stared at Tanzi angrily, and shot her straight in the ankle, shattering the bone. Tanzi screamed as she fell to the floor, unable to hold herself up.
Marley then looked at the remaining people. Leslie, Paige, and Zach were all standing up, while Marshall was still barely alive on the floor and Jenna was slipping into unconsciousness. 'Marshall, say your goodbyes' he thought, grinning as he fired the bullet. It entered straight through Marshall's head, killing him instantly and ending his pain.
"All Rightio!" Marley grinned. "Time for the main course." He pointed the gun at Leslie and pulled the trigger. A click and Marley realised the Ammo was spent. "Aww shit. Guess I have to do it the ol' fashioned way then." He pushed his hand forward, and Leslie went flying backwards. Zach tried to catch him, but the floor seemed to turn to mud underneath him. He watched helplessly as Leslie's face was impaled by shards of metal after landing on the ruined hotdog stand. One of the shards of metal popped his right eye.
"No!" Paige moaned, and looked around the bloodbath. She blandly discovered that it was only the originals left. That is, Tanzi, Zach and herself. 'Wait... Jenna's still alive, although it's Zach next'
Zach's struggled with the quicksand type mud when a hand grabbed his arm. He looked up to see a man wearing a black business suit. With one strong the tug, the mysterious man pulled Zach straight out of the mud.
"Who the hell are you!" Marley demanded, annoyed at the nuisances. He ought to have killed them all now, but things kept on happening.
"Jeffrey Jebediah" The man said, tipping a white cowboy he had positioned on his head. "Nice to make your acquaintance, boy. Actually, I know all about you Death. You possessed my partner for researching, a William Bludworth? And because you killed him, I am sure as hell gonna kill you!"
"No, don't get involved" Zach said, pushing Jeffrey back into the shocked and horrified crowd that on looked the blood bath. None of the security had guns, so they were all staying back until the police could arrive to deal with this murdering scum.
"You know what!" Marley fumed, and raised both arms. "I'll kill you all right he – URK!" He looked down to find a pole through his chest. Marley looked around to see that Jenna had taken the pole penetrating Jade's body and had used it to impale Marley. Death acted immediately and went to possess the first person that he encountered. He almost screamed when he realised it was Paige Callaway.
BREAK
Paige looked at Death with an eyebrow raised. "Nice to see you again."
Death went to disappear, and half disappeared when Paige grabbed his collar. "Oh no you don't."
"What! How!" Death asked, actually scared for his death, if that wasn't even possible.
"Well, I figured that as you can do what you want in my mind. I can do what I want in my mind as you know... it's my mind." Paige swung her fist, which crashed into the side of Death's face. He was too shocked to act. "And I do not want you here, or alive for that fact." Paige continued.
She wanted to test something, and raised her hand. All of a sudden, some sort of force was emitted from her hand, and Death went flying backwards, a black vapour coming from his mouth. "You killed my friends!" Paige cried, hitting Death again with a force-wave. "you killed people that didn't deserved to be killed!" This time, Paige grasped one of Death's arms, and ripped it straight off. The vapour was now pouring out of the wound, but floated upwards once it left Death.
Death didn't feel any pain, he couldn't. Hell, he was still shell shocked about Paige being able to do this to him.
" Now, the last laugh is mine." Paige narrowed her eyes, and stared Death straight in the yes, chocolate into deep red. "And I figure, all I have to do –" Paige brought back her arm, and thrust it forward, straight into where Death's heart would be. Death gasped in pain this time, and the vapour started to come out of his nose, mouth, ears and pretty much everywhere else.
"No! I can't be beaten, I can't die!! You kill me; the whole world'll go into turmoil! You kill me, the world won't die! You kill me, life and death will not be balanced! You have... doomed... them all..."
Paige watched as Death slowly dissolved into the black vapour. "Well, it's a bit too late now, right?" She shook her head sadly as Death disappeared once and for all. 'Hmm... it worked... wonder what he meant about 'The world won't die... can't dwell on that now.' She immediately felt the pull as she exited her mind.
BREAK
Paige saw the flashing lights of the sirens before she heard them. She was lying face up in the ground. Paige saw blurred shapes above her before she noticed who it was. Zach leant over her, as well as the man who announced himself as Jeffrey Jebediah.
"Are you all right?" Zach asked.
Paige leant on her elbows and looked around her. She saw multiple body bags that she knew contained the bodies of Jade, Marley, Rose, Marshall, Lauren and Seph. She felt tears spring to her eyes. "I guess... I guess we are the only survivors... we finally defeated Death, but at the cost of... wait..." Paige narrowed her eyes. "Where's Jenna?"
"She's being treated at the hospital with Leslie and Tanzi. She had some serious injury, that girl did." Jeffrey said, causing all faces to turn towards him.
"Wait? Leslie's alive?" Paige asked, gasping.
"Yes." Zach said. "Although he is going to need a lot of plastic surgery."
"Just who exactly are you?" Paige turned to Jeffrey, still suspicious about his presence.
"I'm a business man." Jeffrey said.
"A... business man?" Paige repeated as she climbed to her feet. Her arm twinged, and she saw it had started bleeding again. "Why would you want us in your business?"
"Well, you're unique, and also you were good friends with William..."
"That conniving bastard?" Zach scoffed. "We aren't even friends with him. Or were for that matter."
"What? Wasn't he just possessed?" Jeffrey asked, raising an eyebrow.
"He was evil even before he was possessed." Said Paige.
"Hmm... this is bad news. However, will you accept this job? It will be a fresh start for you all. Away from this country."
Paige bit her lip. "We'll think about it once you tell us more about the job. Does that mean you will also be asking Tanzi, Leslie and Jenna?"
Jeffrey nodded. "Yes, I want all of you to work for me."
"All right, tell me more, and then we will discuss this job and the benefits."
Three Months Later
The mass funeral took place in England, even William, Miguel, Rose and Marley were placed there, even though they were died after being possessed by death. Many names were etched across the black marble, including names from the first four disasters, to the Orbis Theatre, Emporium Stadium, and the Brooklyn Bridge. Jenna's name was also etched on the marble, as she had died in the operating theatre.
Zach, Tanzi on crutches, Leslie with bandages covering his face, and Paige all stood side by side, red roses in their pockets; Next to them stood Jeffrey. In the end, the four had accepted the job proposal, and after the funeral was over, they would move to Emporium City in America, where they would work at the cafe that Jeffrey had started. It was called the Aroma Cafe, and only five people worked there now. Jeffrey as the manager, Tanzi as the cook (She had discovered she had an ability for cooking when she had to take care of Leslie for the first month as he was unable to see properly due to his eyes having to be covered) and Tanzi, Leslie and Zach as waiters.
Andrew walked down the corridor of the morgue, swinging a baton as he went. He worked as a security guard and loved his job, so when he heard the clattering noise, he immediately was alert.
"Who's there?" No answer. "I'm warning you, you have five seconds to show yourself."
Of course, no one turned up so Andrew walked forwards, and pushed the door open with his foot. At the end of the morgue he saw a shadow, and what looked like blood at the things feet.
"Are you okay?" Andrew asked carefully. "Are you hurt?"
All of a sudden, the shadow ran forward, straight towards Andrew.
Before he could do anything, Andrew felt the things teeth drive through his neck, drawing a lot of blood and ripping through the muscle. More shadows appeared, and ripped at his clothes. Soon enough, hands with sharp nails dug into his skin, and he screamed as he was literally ripped apart. Andrew's muscles were torn apart, and is internal organs were grasped by eager hands. More and more shadows could be seen as they feasted on Andrew's corpse. A torch by his side rolled across the floor and hit the wall, turning it on. The face of a shadow was revealed, pale with blood covering its face and teeth. It opened its mouth, and let out a screech which somehow sounded like a bird call.
