Beatrix looked back into the dense London fog ; somebody was following her. Turning into the succeeding alleyway she waited. They had made a really bad mistake if they were trying to take her life. The soft click on the street stones plus an even softer tapping let her know they were close. A moment later a hooded image started to call on the corner when she leaped out. Swinging her Kitana she took the top of the lens hood completely off the figure.

"Damn it, Beatrix !"The headless body issued, dropping a scythe then stooping to pick up the skull head that was rolling on the earth."If I wasn't stagnant I might be now !"There was an eerie echoing laugh as the body placed the skull head back on the body covering it with the hood. Beatrix had already taken the ? What the hell ? Was this a scythe ? Strange, she thought, she could almost feel the damn thing vibrating in her hands as if it was active !

pickings another looking at the form she gasped, she'd be damned if he ( she guessed ) didn't look like death !"Uh huh. Who sent you ? The way ? No one outside of them knows who I am !"

There was a bit of secrecy then the frame said,"All will be revealed when you hired man me back my scythe."

Her eye narrowing, she laughed,"Do I look that dolt ? script a weapon system back to an obvious enemy ? No, I think I'll bent on to this."

There was a suspiration then the public figure spoke again,"You don't know who I am, do you ? I made a mistake thinking that you would go down that wanton. Alright, I am capable to negotiation, what do you want in order I regain my scythe ?"

Beatrix could only stare at him : negotiate ? What in the sin was he on about ?"You're decently about one affair, I am UNSURE as to whom you are. The weapon system though I am very sure about, at present, I think it unwise to render it."

Again the hooded figure gave a sigh,"You don't realize the implication of you not returning it to me. I have a job to ..."

"Oh I'm sure you do but I don't intend to be a victim of yours,"Beatrix spit back at the figure.

Shaking its principal a moment, then shape nodded to Beatrix,"Alright, what do you desire to know ? Afterward, perhaps we can discuss me regaining my scythe, okay ?"

Beatrix thought a moment. She'd never seen an federal agent nor heard of one with a scythe."Alright, first doubt, who in the nookie are you ? instant, how in the hell were you able to stick with me ? one-third, who do you work for ?"

"Obviously I am not dealing with a chump. Alright, I was called Ankou by the Celts, Smierc by the Polish, Hel by the Norse, King Yama by the Hindu, Yama by the Chinese. Do you require more ? I have been called Thanatos by the Hellene, though the public figure you might know of best is Grim Reaper,"the figure said, shocking Beatrix a moment.

She almost dropped the scythe observance as the figure tried to suddenly lunge and twist it from her grasp."Uh, uh, uh, I don't think so ! So you expect me to conceive that you are death ? If I remember right you can take any liveliness just by your touch."

Nodding slowly as the number picked itself off the earth, it stated,"Under formula consideration that would be rightful, but you hold the scythe. I demand you give it to me ! I have to preserve all the naming that were made for today."

Still not truly believing the soma she stood there her bobby pin increasing upon the grip."I need proof, now !"

"I can't take a soul before it's appointed metre. I can't just pick out a mortal without the knowledge, that is with the scythe. What has happened today is extremely rare. You are a rare mortal indeed. Now then, may we please culture our business organisation so I can go along on ?"Death asked Beatrix, though she could see that he was still trying to figure a way to wrest the scythe from her.

"Okay, suppose that I believe you ? You were talking about a deal ?"This seemed to gain vigor up the figure of Death.

Shaking his oral sex emphatically, dying knew he had her."Yes, a deal, what is it that you wish ? Power, money, eternal life ? What can I make you that will ingest you let go it ?"

Beatrix could only shake her heading, why was it just her that saw him ?"Why am I the simply one that can see you ?"

"Your time was twelve moment ago, one can always see me when their time is upon them. As I said, you are a rare example in that you not only heard me but saw me sooner. I can grant you anything that you want,"death said, a bit of promise edging its voice.

"Anything huh ? I seriously doubt that ! If you really are Death then you know what I want. You also know that no one or thing can ever grant it !"Beatrix spit out at the design of Death.

"What ? You are aright, there is only one who can and they are the lonesome one who can,"Death said, a appal auditory sensation in its voice.

"I thought so ! Goodbye, motherfucker !"Laughing, Beatrix started to walk away with the scythe in hand.

"WAIT !"She heard the vocalization of death behind her."You can't do this ! Those whose time is at an end must be released or the universe will spring up sick ! Beatrix ! arrest ! This will end the world !"

gyration, she saw that end was trying to get up to her."expert ! You took him when you shouldn't have, so if the world ends then so be it ! Now unless you have a solution then I will be going, though ..."Beatrix looked at destruction."I could use this on you, as I remember it is the only affair that can put down Death."

There was a strained moment of silence then a booming noise was heard. Sighing, Death looked at Beatrix,"Now you've done it ! They are on the way."

Beatrix stood house. She knew something was coming, something far more powerful than death. Something powerful enough to work Death shake and cower. The booming increased then a plurality of winged ? Angels ? Appeared before her. Beatrix wasn't sure. Then a voice spoke to her.

"Beatrix, I have felt the pain sensation that you are feeling. If we restore him to you, then will you relinquish the scythe ?"The beautiful, powerful voice asked her.

"As long as I can be there with him, watch him grow, not cut down by a sot idiot. I also want to think with extended life."Beatrix knew she was pushing it a little, but this was for him.

There was a moment of pause before the voice said,"The desire of your love has been granted. Please think that I love him as I do you. Hand the scythe to last and then all will be right."

Beatrix nodded, tears filling her eyes. It was almost too good to be true. When she handed the scythe to Death, the wind started to swirl around her. Then all was gone.

Just then her five year old came flying out of the sign. binge started again in her eye. Tommy ? He was alive ? Grabbing him as he was racing across the one thousand she started to kiss his little face. Beatrix blinked what in the perdition was going on ? She was in the front 1000 of her old home, the home that her son was ...

"Mommy ? the petty boy asked staring at her."Are you alright mommy ? You're crying, did you fall down ?"

Laughing a little, Beatrix could only stir her head as she held the piffling boy tighter to her. Suddenly, there was a squealing as a car came screaming down the street. Running over the sidewalk not twenty feet from them, then back on the street before barreling past. Beatrix shook her head as a dark hooded figure saluted her and floated after the car .
