(Adult!Mandy)

As one gains power, sacrifices must be made. They gave me a job, a simple task, to kill. Kill a familiar face, a familiar name. They couldn't have known our ties, but they would've told me to do it anyway.

I said yes.

I didn't need the gold—I wouldn't want it for the deed—, I didn't need another record, so why?

"Hi Mandy! Gosh, I haven't seen you in such a long time! What's that behind your back?"

I smile, just for him. Soon, Grim will arrive, and we can have a reunion. Maybe then I will apologize.
