Lacy laid in the grass in the park, softly chewing on a lollipop, trying to relax. She had decided to give up on getting any sleep at night, so tried to get a little in the day. It wasn't the most professional thing to do but at this point she didn't care. She had done all her work so why not take a break? The breeze blew slightly and Lacy felt, for the first time in a long time, peaceful. Her eyes lids drooped and eventually she let herself sink into sleep.

"Damien?" the girl nudged her brother on the floor gently, "Are you ok? Wake up." His eyes remained closed and his chest didn't rise up and down like usual. It struck her he might not be asleep. She felt herself start to panic, "Damien wake up! Damien please this isn't funny! Damien!" She felt something warm and wet on most of her body and looked down to see most of her body covered in blood. Tears came to her eyes, "Dear lord…What happened?" "I think I can answer that," a British accent said behind her. She turned around and gasped, "Death…"

Lacy woke up with a jerk; she had become so use to the nightmare that she didn't even bother to scream. She sat up and laid her head on her knees. Apparently sleep was against her too. She suddenly smelt something rotting and sighed, "Don't you have anything better to do than follow me around all day? You obviously have no hobbies outside work." Death stepped out from behind the tree and frowned,

"I have you know, I have lots of hobbies. But never mind that, you owe me something." Lacy ran a hand through her hair, "Fine, whatever, as long as you promise to stop following me stalker." Death did a laugh that sounded more like he was choking, "It's about time that you accepted it girly. Now the price is simple, one soul for immortality." Lacy sighed again, "And how am I supposed to get you a soul?"

"It's as simple as murder." Lacy's eyes widen, "I am NOT going to kill someone you sicko!" Death scowled, "Would you rather I take your soul?" Lacy was about to retort, but the sudden thought of death after all the years scared her. Who was she kidding? She was scared to die, why else would she put up with this so long? Then on top of that, she would have to be with him, forever. "C-Come on, give me another option, please!" Death thought for a moment then smiled evilly,

"Well…there is another way; it's mostly for fun on my part though." "What is then?" Lacy asked impatiently. "If you can get somebody to fall in love with you, and then break their heart, the deal is off. If not your soul is mine." Lacy thought for a moment, that wouldn't be so bad, it was better than killing somebody. Heartbreak only lasted for a little while. She closed her eyes and mumbled, "Fine, I'll do it." Death chuckled, "That's a good girl." Then once again vanished in a flash.

Lacy sat in the grass; still biting on her lollipop…she really hated that accent.

A couple of hours it occurred to Lacy that she couldn't make someone love her to save her life; and her life actually depended on it. She groaned and laid her head on the table, pushing her coffee away from her, feeling too sick to drink anything. The coffee shop was very empty and Lacy wondered if that was why Mordecai and Rigby came here so much, getting your order in was quick and easy. She loved quiet, it wasn't something she got often, as much as she loved her friends at the park, they always had something going on…

"Excuse me, is the coffee ok ma'am?" Lacy looked up and saw a red robin standing in front of her, she recognized her as the waitress who took her order. Lacy smiled at her, "Yeah it's great, I just feel a little sick that's all." The robin smiled sympathetically, "Having personal problems?" Lacy blinked, "How did you…" she laughed, "I know it might not look like it, but we get a lot of people in here. You learn to read people. I'm Margaret by the way." Margaret…the name sounded familiar, then Lacy remembered, "You're a friend of Mordecai's, right?"

"Yeah. Are you two friends?" Margaret asked, "Co-workers. But I guess we kind of are friends though." Margaret smiled, "Well any friend of Mordecai is a friend of mine. I've never seen you before. What's your name?" "Lacy and I just moved here recently," she lied. Lacy had to admit, it scared her how easily she could lie now.

"That's such a pretty name! I've never heard it before. Where are you from?" "New York. I moved here because my brother died recently and home has too many bad memories for me." Margaret looked shocked, "I'm so sorry Lacy. Coffee's on the house, and if you want, me and my friend Eileen are going shopping and you're more than welcome to come along if you want."

Lacy thought, malls have boys, malls have clothes that attract boys (and let's face it, she needed more clothes), and Margaret looked like she could date anyone she wanted. "Sure, why not?" She answered.

"Dude, we have to get Skips to tell us more about this chick!" Rigby said as he and Mordecai finished cleaning the fountain. Mordecai really wished he would drop the subject, he was sick of hearing it. He didn't believe Lacy killed her brother; she was too sensitive about the subject. And besides, she was too sweet for that kind of thing anyway.

"Look Rigby, if Lacy wanted us to know, she'd tell us. Just let it go, it's pointless to go into it. Skips won't tell us, Lacy won't tell us, and think about it; if she had done it, Skips wouldn't have let her live with him for two months." He started filling the fountain back up with water, "Lacy's nice. I like her as a person; if she's immortal that's her own business." Rigby groaned,

"Fine, whatever. You're no fun lately." Mordecai rolled his eyes, "Let's just take a break, ok?" He started walking away and soon enough Rigby followed him. Mordecai didn't care if there was a girl who had a dark past; his life was going to stay the same.

A/N: ok, so I know this chapter was a little shorter than usual, but I want to stretch things out a little and try and figure out how Lacy's path is going to be revealed and how to get there. I'll figure it out eventually. And I also feel like I've neglected my other stories. So it might be a few days before I update this again.
