leaned against the bookcase and grinned. “You’re right, Finn. This is

fun.”

“Are you freaking insane?” I hissed.

He rolled his eyes. “Oh calm down, drama queen. It’s not like she

can hear us.”

“You scared her.”

“Are you kidding? She’s scared of her own reflection. And that has

nothing to do with me.”

No. But the fact that Emma’s life had been a horror movie waiting

to happen these last two years had everything to do with me. I’d led a

soul that hated my guts and was hell-bent on revenge right to her

doorstep.

I turned my attention back to Emma. After she collected herself,

she twisted her hair up into a messy ponytail and dug in her

nightstand drawer for her journal.

“Dear diary…” Easton nodded at the journal. “What do you think

she’s going to write?”

I folded my arms across my chest. “Not my business.”

He walked over to her bed and plopped down beside her. The

mattress didn’t creak or groan under his weight. The blankets didn’t

shift. He peeked over her shoulder at the book. A long tendril of

honey-colored hair came loose from Emma’s ponytail and fell across her

eye. She tucked it behind her ear, but Easton blew on it so that it

fell right back down. She swept it out of her face, looking

frustrated, and Easton chuckled.

“Will you stop?” I said, feeling uncomfortable with how close he

was to her. “This is so screwed up it’s not even funny.”

He raised a dark brow. “Oh? And what you’re doing isn’t?”

We could have gone back and forth like that for hours, but the

call came. It always did. It started in my bones-a cold so cutting

that it sliced through me like a machete. Easton’s jaw clenched, his

muscles taut and ready. He slowly closed his hand around the handle of

his scythe, which burned black and softly smoked at his side. I flexed

my fingers as the icy ribbons of death worked their way through each

one of my limbs.

“Can you take this one for me?” I asked. “You’re already going to

be there, and I just got back-”

“No,” Easton said. “Hell no. I have my own job to do. I can’t keep

covering for your sorry ass. Besides, do you have any idea how close

you are to being caught? Don’t push your luck, Finn. Just keep your

nose down, collect your souls, and thank the Almighty that you don’t

have my job.”

“I’m taking a risk every time I leave her. You know that.”

“For the love of God. She’ll be fine, Finn. It’s just one reap.”

“How do you know she’ll be fine?”

He shrugged. “I don’t. But that’s the difference between you and

me. I don’t care.”

With that, he vanished, consumed in a flash by the keening wails

of the damned. The screams beckoned. Clawed at me from the inside out.

Rule One as a reaper: Death doesn’t wait for anyone.

And it sure as hell wasn’t waiting for me now.
