I had to tease you guys with a dash of Cargan in this chapter. What could've been... :) I've decided to post 3 or 4 times a week but I can't really promise anything because I'm in a ton of clubs at school, but it'll probably happen.

The Council kept their promise and when Mark Mitchell died, they sent him to Hell. But there was a cruel secret they kept from Mark Mitchell, the meeting that they had with his son a week prior to his death. The meeting that declared that Logan was to take his father to the Gates of Hell.

Logan was thirteen when his father died, and when he became the Grim Reaper. And his first reap was certainly his most horrifying one…

Logan had been nervous and depressed all week long. They're going to kill my dad? My dad is Death? There were so many questions on his mind. The uncertainty of when death… he… would strike was driving him insane. Why was the Council doing this to him?

Finally, one week after the meeting and the first burst of flames he had ever heard (when he received the red envelope), Logan heard a second burst of flames from the foot of his bed. Logan crawled to the end of the bed to find a reminder-a black envelope. It was time.

Logan began to sob as he thought about what was about to happen. I'm going to kill my father… I have to be a bad person and kill my own father! Logan wiped the tears from his eyes, I need to just get it over with. He then noticed, folded neatly next to the black envelope, was a black cloak and propped against his closet door was a scythe. This is my life now…

Logan got out of his bed and put on the gear for the first time, taking the responsibility that the Council had placed on him. If he remembered what the original red envelope said correctly, his father was lying on the kitchen floor, dead. He slowly crept out of his room and down the stairs, trying not to wake his mother. He walked into the kitchen and his memory was correct, his father was lying there, motionless.

Despite his expectations, Logan was shocked by the sight. "Dad!" he shrieked.

Suddenly, his father's spirit awoke; it slowly rose from his body and stared at Logan with a distressed look. "They sent you?"

Logan nodded slowly. Mark's face twisted into a disgusted expression. "How dare they send my son to do this, of all, tasks!"

Logan stared at his father with a blank expression on his face. "Dad, why am I taking you to Hell?"

His father's spirit stood up from the ground. "Logan, I'm not supposed to tell anyone, but since I'm already leaving anyways…" and Mark told his son all about what happened, even though his original plan was to tell any Reaper that he was "a liar and a thief," he told his son the truth.

Logan could only sit there in silence and stare at his father. This was really the end, and it wouldn't be a good end for his father either. "Logan, please, be brave about this. We'll get through this. I'll be fine. It's my time now, we should go.."

And the rest Logan tried to forget.

"Logan… I'm so sorry…" Carlos sad solemnly.

"No, no. It's fine. I'm kind of over it now. I try to think of my dad in Heaven, you know?" Logan couldn't help but lie to himself; the thought of his father in eternal punishment made him sick to his stomach.

Carlos looked down at his feet. "Listen Logan, you're right. I take what I have for granted. I don't even understand why I hurt so much… I just.. I just.. I can't even finish that because I honestly don't know. I mean, yeah, I love Jennifer, but it shouldn't be driving me crazy like this. It's entirely unhealthy…"

James patted Carlos on the back. "That's what we've been trying to tell you. Look, how about I set you up on a date with one Camille's friends?"

"Or one of Jo's!" Kendall added.

"Or one of Jenny's."

Carlos shook his head. "No, it's not that. We all know I'm perfectly capable of being single. I didn't even care about dating until I met Jennifer. I think the reason it's so hard is that I don't have the pack to back me up. Not one of you is single, you all have somebody. And for a while I had Logan, but…"

Logan's stomach tied in a knot. He felt like a bad friend and a terrible person. Carlos was his best friend and here Logan was, letting him suffer. "Carlos, I'll break up with Jenny for you."

Carlos stared intensely at his friend who was staring back at him.. James and Kendall felt awkward as the other two boys were caught up in a world of their own. Carlos finally broke the silence. "Why would you do that?"

Logan sat there in silence for a moment, not knowing what to say. Should I be honest? "To take the pain away."

Carlos smiled at him, but then shook his head. "I don't want you to sacrifice your happiness for me."

"But I want to." Logan muttered.

Carlos stared at Logan, speechless. He was too kind to him. "No Logan. Jenny is your girlfriend. You obviously like her a lot and it would be incredibly selfish of me to ruin that for you. I care about you Logan, and you guys too of course. I don't want to ruin your relationships for you, I just want to get better. And that definitely shouldn't come at the expense of you guys. You're all happy with your girlfriends, and I don't want to even ask to come in between that. I'm just a huge pansy, okay?" Carlos chuckled. "I mean, who else continuously cries over their girlfriend who dumped him months ago? Now let's talk about something else please."

The boys chuckled with him. "Speaking of girlfriends, I have an announcement to make." James said, taking advantage of the need for a change in subject.

"You have more than one now?" Kendall guessed.

"You left Camille?" Carlos asked.

Logan took a stab at it too. "You've finally dated every girl in the school?"

"No! All of you are horribly wrong! Logan, good guess, I liked that one. I am dashingly handsome and charismatic and all, but no, still wrong. I, James Diamond, school hunk and playboy, am in love."

The boys gasped. "Lies!" snapped Carlos.

"No dear Carlos, it is no lie. A beautiful cowgirl has finally tamed this wild stallion. This pirate is now at bay and has his fair share of booty. So Carlos, feel free to delve into the other half of the school." James winked at Carlos.

Kendall shook his head. "I… do not believe you."

"I didn't ask you to believe me. I just wanted to say it to someone before I tell her." James defended.

Logan patted him on the back. "Hey man, I'm happy for you. Love is hard to find."

Carlos smiled at the boys. "You said it man."
