My eyes slowly opened, they felt heavy as if they were made of led, my vision being blury wasn't helpful but the crying was familiar, Lucas was here, was I dead and I'm just hearing him cry over my dead body before I passed on, how bloody cruel is that.

"Well" Jack's voice sounded "I'm impressed Sam" was he talking to me, so I must be alive if he is talking to me "you managed to not only survive a twisted attack all by yourself you killed it"

My eyes begain to focus as he spoke and soon I could see that night had fallen and I was still in the house, I went to reach for my wound but my body wouldn't move, its as if I was paralised

"you won't be moving till that thing is sealed" his voice was calming but he had this some what worried look on his face, his face defiantly betrayed him when it came to hiding what he was feeling.

I opened my mouth but nothing came out, I guess that would be another thing that's happening

"you can think what you want to say, the connection is there I can peek in" he spoke as if he understood that I wasn't in the dark with the suttle connection between us.

Okay if that's the case then he'd better start explaining "what the hell is going on" I focused on the words, shouted them in my mind so loud he'd have to hear it even if he was lying still.

His face scrunched up "you don't have to shout" he knelt down to me, Lucas looked up at him before resting his head on back on my chest "so the ting that I assume you killed is called a twisted, it's a being that comes into existence when the void brakes through and infects a living creature, it prefers humans but can infect anything that is alive" he paused as if not sure where else to go from that "I told you I was a reaper, we are the keepers of human souls for their time in the afterlife but before they pass we must make sure their spirit doesn't become corrupted or else they soul is lost to the void, I messed up and lost 3 whole realms to the void and being sent here is my punishment for it, because I am a disgrace of a reaper" his words were sorrowful, but how does he expect me to respond to it all, I can deal with the twisted because I just killed one but this reaper buissnis again, it must be true if he understands that thing that attacked me, but if that's true and what he said about the void is true, he lost billions of lives to that void thing and now hes next to me, his voice may have been cold but I can see it in his face, he's slowly realising the amount of death, and it looks to be hurting him.

I need to do something, I needed to move my hand I willed it and it moved, it was slow, but Jack didn't stop me, he seemed to brace himself, his cocky attitude was gone and he seemed lost, it really wasn't befitting on that stupid face of his, once my hand reached his face, he flinched as if expecting a slap but I just rested my hand on his head, moving my fingers through it and rubbing his head, his eyes closed at the touch and I had to will my voice "you regret the loss of those lives" my voice was cracked and I sounded awful, I won't be winning any singing compations anytime soon, he nodded slightly "then that's a start, what ever happened that caused the loss, I doubt youd do on purpose, your young, and you'll make mistakes believe me, I've made them too" my words don't seem to have brought him much comfort but he layed his head on my chest next to Lucas who had cried himself to sleep.

"I'm not so innocent" he said into my stomach as if he hearing it that way would lesson the words effect on him, I placed my hand on his head and ruffled his hair lightly and soon he began to snore lightly as he slept.

"am I that easy" I spoke aloud to nobody but myself "only two days and he's already wormed past my wall" I guess I'll just sleep too.
