Vi just stood there in shock. She quickly backed into the shadows, before the man could follow a large crow like shadow creature appeared. The man chuckled at Vi’s attempt to protect herself. A bright light began to consume the creature, leave Vi by herself.
“That would have worked if you were the lords reaper, but it’s a shame you're the devils worker.”
“Devil my ass I choose this work.” Vi snapped.
He clicks his tongue and reaches in his pocket, Vi reacted swiftly summoning her scythe. He looks up and fills out a tally chart the words read, “Vanessa 0, Sammy 1”, Vi just stared as the man snapped his fingers. An unbearable pain coursed through her body, she let out a scream and fell to her knees.
“What your feeling his what will happen a lot due to are little wager!” He smirked.
“What wager!?” She managed to squeeze out before more pain shot through her.
“You see that 1/10 mark on your chest, there's obviously a reason. If you are able to collect 10 souls before me I’ll leave you be, but if I…” He squeezes his hand sending more pain to Vanessa, “You’ll die and be sent to where you belong!” he added.
Just as the pain started it stopped, leaving Vi their, she looked up and saw that sammy had vanished. She had stumbled to get up, she made her way back to her house, it looked like nothing had ever happened. She took a seat and dozed off.
She awoke to rapid banging on the door, she opened it and was ambosed with a hug. She looked to see her two friends, Kale and Salem. Kale was a reaper for the lord and Salem was with the devil like Vi. Kale hugged her tightly while Salem stood in the doorway.
“We heard what happened we are so sorry we couldn’t help!” Kale yelled.
“Okay, got it, can you get off of me you're ruining my favorite shirt!” Vi grumbled peeling kale off of her.
Vi sat them down and explained the whole thing that happened to her after leaving the hospital. After that she took a shower changed clothes and sat on the coach with them. They decided to stick together so if Sammy came around her again they’d be able to stop them. But Vi already understood that her Crow, and Salems Wolf couldn’t do anything. The only thing they could really rely on was Kales Butterfly. For you see, each reaper has their own animals based on their inner soul, some animals may be mythical like a sphynx, or dragon, but some are commonly known, like a snake, tiger, and a bird. In simple terms the reason Vi’s crow didn’t work was because it’s not as powerful as sammy's animal, and it could’ve worked if she had a light creature.
“So how will you collect ten souls before sammy?” Salem asked.
Vi curled up putting her knees to her chest, “That's what I’d like to know?” She put her head down feeling like she fell into defate.
“Don’t worry Vi were gonna kick that Sammy guys butt and were gonna help you!” Kale said standing up proud.
Vi laughed and they made a plan to collect the souls together.
