SUPERNATURAL FURRIES

Chapter 5: In My Time of Dying

Krystal woke up in the hospital. "I'm alive? What happened?"

"You crashed into that evil pig bounty hunter," said Dr. Mixter. "You'll live.

"What about Renamon?" said Krystal. "And Lucario?"

"Lucario will be fine. He'll recover from his injuries just as you will. Renamon, however… she… um… was hit by a few shards of glass, and a bit of lava pouring from the car's engine got a little too close to her left arm and her tail…"

"Is she…" said Krystal.

"Not yet, but we think she won't survive for another night," said Dr. Mixter.

Renamon was walking around the hospital. She had no injuries whatsoever, but she was walking through walls. Furthermore, she could see her own body.

"What's going on?" she said.

A girl walked up to Renamon. "I'm Tessa," she said. "I am a reaper. And your time will come in about two hours."

"Two hours?" said Renamon. "But it takes that amount of time for three of us to eat a tray of hot cross buns!"

"Yes," said Tessa. "But shards of glass hit you in the head, and you got severe burns from lava pouring out of the car's engine."

"Cars have lava in them?" said Renamon.

"Of course," said Tessa.

"I can't let Renamon die," said Lucario. He walked into the scariest room in the hospital: The electricity room. He put together a summoning ritual, when suddenly Security Guard Anthony Janus walked up to him.

"HEEEEEEY!"

Lucario turned around. "Oh crap," he said.

"What the hell are you doing in here?" said Janus.

"I think you know," said Lucario, aiming the Colt at Janus's head.

Janus's eyes turned yellow. "What do you want me here for?"

"To make a deal with you," said Lucario. "Heal Renamon, and I give you the Colt."

"That's kinda a big deal," said the demon. "Tell you what. I'll accept, on condition you offer me something else right now."

"The car?" said Lucario. "It's a Leadra Ink Endol Omni Bob Dodge car, made by Bob Dodge himself. You can have it."

"No," said the demon. "It's much smaller and much more valuable."

"NO!" said Tessa, before her eyes turned yellow. "Today's your lucky day, Renamon."

And Renamon woke up. All her injuries were healed.

Renamon entered Krystal's room.

"Renamon!" said Krystal. "How… I thought you were…"

"I don't know," said Renamon. "The last thing I remember was crashing into Pigma, and then…"

A woman screamed. Krystal and Renamon rushed into Lucario's room. Lucario lay dead on the ground, with no Colt. And he had a cut in his chest that looked as though it may have been inflicted by a powerful demon.
