Scarlet P.O.V.

A Dark Alleyway

"Hah... starting with me, huh..." the robber in the alleyway me and Chase had followed stated, reaching into his back pocket for something. I was getting a really bad feeling about this.

"I killed two already to get this money... what's one more..." He suddenly pulls out a gun and fires it.

Time seems to move in slow motion. The bullet is heading towards Chase, in a way that I know will be fatal if it lands. There's no way to save him.

Unless...

I make a split second decision, and shove him out of the way to take the bullet.

It hits it's new target.

My head burns, and I fall out of lack of concentration. I know it won't effect me, since us reapers could get ripped to shreds and still be "alive", but to Chase...

I just died.

A brutal silence blankets us.

And then the clock strikes midnight.

Shit! I didn't kill my daily sinner! What's going to happen?! I can feel myself falling down into hell, but I can't go to the ninth circle. I can't be alone. I can't. I won't. I refuse! Satan, I rebuke thee!

And then I fall into strange place, and it cuts to black.
