"Behold, all souls are mine, the soul of the father is mine, the soul of the son is mine, the soul who sins will die..."

-Eziekel 18:4

What's going to happen? When the numbers get to zero? She'll die...How will she die? Can I stop it?

Marik: He he he, honestly Y/N. I wasn't expecting this... But as surprised as I am, you humans are fun to watch while in distress.

Y/N: IF ONLY I HAD SOME FUCKING HOLY WATER RIGHT NOW!!! Even so... what do I do... M-mom...

I asked, forgetting to contain my stutter.

M/N: Hm? What is it Y/N?

I tried to be as subtle as I could.

Y/N: How are you feeling.

M/N: Oh, I've been feeling great. Thank you for asking.

I smiled, a fake smile that even though my mother looked at me weird. She still smiled back.

I silently ate my meal as I contemplated on what to do. Sooner than I knew it I was finished and went upstairs without saying a word, I sat down on my desk. Giving a snarl as I shove past undone school assignments aside and banged my head on the table.

Y/N: Dammit... why now?

Marik placed his hand on my shoulder. I felt his cold touch somehow give me a little bit of comfort.

Marik: It's alright Y/N. I mean, I myself cannot do anything about it, neither can you. It's not Death's place to save lives. Only to merely collect them when his time is come...

Me: Don't, tell me... what I already know... It's useless feeding me knowledge that I already have.

Marik: Fine then, if you wish. I'll just,return to the Demon Realm... The Human Realm wasn't as exciting as I thought it out to be.

Me: Fuck off Demon...

Marik; I've heard many words, in many languages that condemned me back to Hell. But never had I heard it in that manner.

I just fell silent and let my head rest uncomfortably on the hard surface of the desk.

Me: Just go away and leave me alone.

Marik: Very well then, if you need me... Just call.

He said, backing off into a wall. Disappearing all together. I was on my own... I looked around just in case he was keeping a watch close by.

Y/N: Marik sucks balls!

I yelled.

M/N: Y/N! Watch your language young man!

Y/N: Sorry, there's just this jerk called 'Marik_ 667' that keeps camping around in corners in CoD...

M/N: I better not hear that again!

She informed.

Y/N: You won't!

I call back. Sighing in disappointment.

Y/N: Marik himself said that Death cannot save people... Them what am I to do about my mother's death?

People will die, it's the circle of life... Wait a minute, why should I even be worried? With the concept of Death itself true... than, Heaven and Hell must be true as well... I'm the physical entity of Death after all. So there must be some kind of afterlife I'll take my mother to or something...

That's when I realized...

Me: She's healthy as ever... so that might mean someone is going to probably kill her.

I grimaced, it was still a Monday... might mean it'll happen on a school day while I'm gone.

I can't save her... But I'll definitely bring divine justice to the one who takes her life away... It's only fair.
