Yen panted and briefly paused to take a breath. But soon, she was running again, looking for Mint. She had promised not to let him out of her sights, unless there was someone else to help him. She sighed and suddenly she thought of something. He kept on mentioning the café, and staying back in it. She thought hard about who was in there, and suddenly she thought of the older man, Mr... Mr... Mr. Baker? She couldn't remember. But maybe he was worried for him. Being the oldest, he was probably the most shaken up about it. Maybe he decided to go over to his house and check on him. Without telling him. She shrugged and turned to run to his house. Maybe he had seen Mint, so she could ask him. She smiled.


Shilo sighed as he ran across the street, heading for Edward's. Axel gasped for breath and muttered, "Can we stop for a second... My lungs are going to burst..."

As he heard the noon train passing through the city, probably coming to a stop at the station, Shilo shook his head, "No, I don't know why, or what really, but I just can't get over it. And I don't like it. So I'm going to check in with Edward, and see if he's alright. I don't care what you do now, but I have to see him. So rest if you want, I heading forward."

Axel nodded and sat down on a bench as Shilo ran forward.


Yen rounded the corner and saw Edward's house. She knew where he lived, because he was actually her, so you could call it, teacher. He worked as the helper for the science teacher, and he was so loud, everyone knew him. She smiled as she pushed his back gate open and saw Mint. She called out, "Mint! Mint!... Mint? Hello? H-"

She frowned and went over to see why he wasn't moving. She walked up to him and suddenly screamed. The whole fence was splattered with blood, and there were some vein and lymph nodes spread on the ground. The top half of Edward's head was lying about three inches away from him, and he was splayed on the ground. His hand was shredded and the mower parts, which were all over, had his blood clear all over them. She resisted the urge to throw up and ran to the house. Mint just crouched there, his eyes closed, swaying ever so slightly. Yen yanked on the door but it was locked shut. She tried to back door, but nothing was there. She back up, and stepped over the gutter. She gulped, "Mint, I don't know if you can hear me, but I'm going to get help. I'll be back"

She stepped back, and her shoe lace got caught on the gutter. She quickly freed it. She ran thought the gate and it slammed behind her.


Shilo gasped as the house came into view. He closed his eyes and willed Edward to be fine. But when he opened them, he saw Mint rushing out and coming straight to him. He pursed his lip and Mint stopped, panting, "Have you seen Yen?"

Shilo shook his head and Mint continued, "Who dies next in your vision?"

Shilo tilted his head, not fully getting the idea, "I think it was Alexis. You know the server who worked-"

Mint nodded, "Where is she?"

Shilo shrugged, "I don't know. But how's Edward?"

Mint gulped, "He's dead, and he's not the last."


Yen ran along the street, almost halfway to the station. She took a deep breath as she slowed a little. She didn't even know how she was going to explain this without making Mint look like he killed Edward, which she knew full well he didn't. But the officers didn't know that. She sighed and sat down on a bench. She noticed a small thing sticking out of her shoe, and she tried to pull it out. It was fully stuck, but she didn't really care. She squinted at it and saw it was a small weed whacker blade. It must have caught when she had run at Edward's house. She shrugged and continued. She ran along the side walk and heard a small bell. She turned around and screamed when a bicycle alsmot ran into her. She jumped out of the way and the man got off, "Oh my goodness! Are you okay?"

Yen nodded, "Yeah I'm fine."

The man nodded, "Sorry about that, I wasn't paying attention."

Yen smiled, "Its fine!"


The woman sighed as she drove forward. Her day couldn't get any worse. She had just been fired from her third job, and only had one barely paying job left. He mother had just been diagnosed with severe brain cancer, and she was now stuck in traffic. She sighed as her phone rang. She picked it up and a small voice on the other end said, "Maya? Is that you?"

She was taken aback, "No, my name's Diane. I think you have the wrong number."

The person laughed, "Sorry about that."

Then they hung up. She shook her head. Sometimes, a small, slightly strange, phone call was enough to get into a better mood. She smiled and suddenly saw a small dirt road leading away from the traffic. She didn't know where it led, but she would find out. Anything was better than sitting in Tuesday evening traffic jams.


Shilo ran forward, closely tailed by Mint. Finally Axel came into view, and he sighed. Axel looked up, "He's fine isn't he. Just like I told you."

Shilo shook his head, "No. He's dead."

Axel started and asked, "How on Earth is he dead! He was fine when the hospital checked for mental trauma!"

Shilo opened his mouth, but Mint interrupted him, "His head was severed off by a weed whacker. It was faulty and its circuits were corroded."

Axel nodded and Shilo jumped, "Wait, isn't the reason you gave for his address that you lent him a faulty weed whacker?"

Mint shivered, "I knew this was a bad time."

He looked directly at Shilo and said, "We would have all been better off dying in the café."

Shilo narrowed his eyes, "Are you emo?"

He shook his head, "Listen. My name is Mint Christensen. I-"

He was cut off when Axel jumped, "Wait, isn't Christensen the name of those two girls who died at the Devil's Flight roller coaster six years ago?"

Mint nodded, "Yeah, those two girls were my cousins. Actually, Wendy, the older of the two, had a vision that the coaster was going to crash. She panicked and got a lot of people off. Of course, this is going to sound hilarious, but Death didn't want his next victims to get away. So he hunted them down. So, after a while, the would be victims started dying gruesome deaths, worse than what they would have died in if they had stayed on the coaster. But Death plays fair. He lets them know who he is after, by leaving clues, such as a person that is going to be killed by a faulty weed whacker, and another victim will say something about a faulty weed whacker possibly."

Shilo gulped, "So, we were supposed to die back there?"

Mint nodded and continued, "Yes. And all of us, you me, Axel, Yen, even the innocent little girl, Jenny, only six, we are all dead."

Axel smirked, "I don't really care what you think, but you're really good at making up stories."

Shilo shook his head, "Well, I believe him. And since Death wants us dead, if we don't help Alexis soon, she will be as dead as Edward."


Yen sighed as she approached the bridge, which went over a small track. She was tired, and almost to the station, but she couldn't stop now. Edward was dead and this was important. No matter how annoying, mean, or even downright unfair he was, he was still human. And he deserved a proper burial. She sighed and started over the bridge. She heard a car's loud beep and she turned around and saw a car uncontrollably racing at her. She screamed loudly and jumped back. But she had been at the edge of the fence and ended up jumping over. The car screeched to a stop and hit the fence, jarring it loose. Yen kept falling but suddenly stopped. She looked up and saw a small, spindly object, connected to her shoe, lodged in the fence setting. The woman got out of her car and looked down, "Are you okay!"

Yen nodded but suddenly heard the train whistle. She shrieked, "GET ME UP! IT'S GOING TO HIT ME!"

The woman franticly looked around and them reached down to grab Yen's leg. But as soon as she got a grip, Yen's connection with the fence loosened. The lady let go and yelled, "I can't! It'll break!"

Yen gulped and she saw the train lights at the end of the tunnel. She shrieked and shut her eyes tight.


Sorry this took so long. I kinda ran into writer's block. With like, every story I've written. For about a month and a half, the only word on here was "Yen." That's sad. But it's done, and here for you to enjoy! Ta ta! ~ Shilo Burbans
