Chapter 13
Amanda freezes before slowly collapsing. "Mom!" Victor shouts. Death looked shocked before growling at Randy. "What have you done?!" "You didn't say what conditions they had to be in. You should have been more specific." Randy points his gun at Victor, he pulls the trigger, but Death jumps in front of Victor. The bullet hits Death and Victor shouts: "Death! Not you too!"
Death groans as he plucks the bullet out and drops it on the floor. "Don't worry about me. Get your mother out of here," says Death. Victor opens the front door and starts to carry his mom outside. "Victor?" He stops and stares at Death. "When all this over, I'll make sure you have a long and happy life." Victor starts to cry and says: "You promise?" Death then reaches forward and kisses Victor on the forehead. "I promise. Now go."
Victor nods and carries his mom outside the mansion. Death slammed the front door and locked it. He then uses one of his sickles to start a fire. Except the colour of the fire isn't orange; it's pink. Death drops his sickles and says: "You really shouldn't have done that." "I don't give a fuck. She testified against me when she said she wouldn't. And besides, you should have kept your dirty claws away from my son," Randy says as he cracks his knuckles.
"You never cared about him, did you?" says Death. Randy watches as the pink flame slowly burns down the mansion. "Well he was always crying, so yeah. I never gave a shit about him." Death cracks his knuckles and slowly approaches Randy. When they were a foot apart, Randy throws the first punch and misses. Death punches Randy in the jaw and he stumbles backwards.
"You're cheating," says Randy. "How?" says Death. "You go super fast when I throw a punch. How is that fair?" Death sighs and says: "Fine, I won't do it again." "Good. Now, where were we?" Randy manages to punch Death in the face, but after a few punches it seems Death was going to win the fight. "Give up. There's no way you can beat me," says Death. Randy coughs before saying: "Oh really?"
When Death threw another punch, Randy pulled out a silver folding knife and cuts him with it. "Now you're cheating," says Death. "You never said anything about knifes," says Randy. Death growled and punches Randy again. Randy tries to stab Death with the knife, but it gets knocked out of his hand. Death kicks the knife into the fire and says: "Got anything else?"
Randy quickly realizes he doesn't have anything left. He spots the revolver and runs to grab it. When he does, Death picks up Randy by the throat and throws him. After recovering, Randy goes to pick up the revolver, but Death steps on his hand. Death picks up the gun and uses a claw to pull the trigger. The silver bullet hits Randy in the leg and he yells.
"For fuck's sake! What was that for?!" After throwing the gun in the fire, Death says: "That was for shooting Victor's mother. Now, it appears you've lost." Randy spits out blood and says: "Go ahead. I'm not afraid to die." Death smiles and picks up his sickles. He then grabs Randy's arm and places it on the floor. Randy looked confused at Death before the sickle impaled his hand and the floor.
Randy screams before Death grabs his other arm and does the same thing to it. "You know, there's something I've always wondered," says Death. "What's that?" says Randy. Death then grabs Randy's head, licks his neck and says: "What does a soul taste like?" And after licking his lips, Death bites down on Randy's neck. Blood formed a puddle around Randy, as Death kept biting Randy's neck off.
After a minute, Death stood up, cleaned the blood of his mouth and picked up his sickles. Meanwhile, Victor carried Amanda to the gates of the mansion. But before they could leave, Amanda collapses. "Mom? Come on. We're almost out. Please get up," says Victor. Amanda slowly sits up against a wall and stares at the mansion. The pink fire had spread across the whole mansion and then it collapsed.
"It's over. Finally," Amanda says weakly. Victor watches as Death walks out of the fire and walks towards them. "He's gone," says Death. "Good. He deserves it." Amanda coughs before saying: "When I go, what are you going to with my son?" Death places a hand on Amanda's shoulder and says: "Don't worry. He will live the life he deserves. I promise." Amanda smiles and says: "Thank you."
After taking a deep breath, Amanda reaches out to Death and says: "I'm ready." "Mom? What are you doing?" says Victor. As Death reaches out to Amanda, she says: "I love you." When Amanda's hand touches Death's hand, it goes limp instantly. Victor stares at Amanda and realizes what happened. "Where did she go?" Victor says sadly. Death places a hand on Victor's shoulder and says: "Heaven. Where she'll always be happy."
Death grabs Victor's hand and leads him away from Amanda's body. "Where are we going?" says Victor. "I know someone who would love to meet you," says Death. "Who is it?" "She is my partner. Her name is Life." Death and Victor stood in front of the pink fire. "Ready?" says Death. Victor looks back at Amanda's body and then says: "Yes, I'm ready." Death smiled before whistling once more.
They walked into the ruin of the mansion and both them and the pink fire disappeared. Never to be seen again. And so Victor met Life, the three of them became a family, and they all lived happily ever after. The end.
