[ WP ] When people die , they are greeted by Death , and normally get taken away . But sometimes they run , which is how there are still ghosts haunting the world . Death does his best to chase them down , but this most recent roaming spirit is truly stubborn .

Souls are just like peole, some accept their fate, others run from it like a scared child. I was on the hunt for that latter. Hi, I'm Death. Well, a part of Death, there are two of us. One of us reaps the souls and the other one goes after the escaped souls. I personally prefer the hunting. The thrill of finding a soul, trying to live a normal life, it was, in a way, amusing. However, recently, the souls I've hunted have been disappearing. At first I blamed my counterpart for their reaping but she claimed she did n't do it. And I believed her. 
 
 But it kept happening, one soul, to two, now I'm at twenty souls that were reaped before I could reach them. I was confused. Hardly anyone else could even see the souls, who could take them? Well I was hinting down and particular soul whenever I found my answer. 
 
 My counterpart prefers to wear a cloak and carry a scythe. I myself had done away with the traditional dress and wore a black suit. It did n't matter what we wore, we could be naked if it came to that, no one saw us, but we were comfortable in those clothes. I carried a scythe too, but we can pull the things out of the air, I do n't know why she always holds it in her hand, it's too heavy for that. 
 
 I was in Cincinnati chasing a ghost. The ghost was good at hiding. Some people might wonder, `` where do ghosts go when their not in the earthy realm?'' And the answer is, it's complicated. It's like your realm, but us spirits ca n't interact with anyone in that time, I call it the mirror realm. It saves a spirit's enegery son they can reappear in the earthy realm. And this ghost could shift between the realms with such ease, I wondered how long this spirit had been roaming freely. 
 
 Death, being a spirit of sorts, can switch between all the realms, but it was disorienting. This ghost could shift so seamlessly between the realms that I began to lose track if I were in the earth real or the mirror realm. The spirit escaped from the building ( a trick I have n't seen in a long while ). I pursued the soul as it floated down the alley. I was gaining on the soul but when the spirit sensed I was close, it avoided the swing of my scythe by going into the nearest building. 
 
 I flowed through the wall and saw it. I lost another soul. But I found the perpetrator though. A man stood there wearing a super expensive suit, much nicer than mine. He was grasping the ghost by the throat. He opened his mouth and the spirit was sucked down his throat. 
 
 `` Who are you?'' I shouted at the newcomer. 
 
 The man turned around and looked at me. He was handsome, extremely handsome. He had brown hair, it was a little bit long but not so much. It was barely on his eyes. He flashed me a smile that was startlingly white. I was transfixed for a second until I saw his canine teeth. They were long and pointed. Without hesitation I swung my scythe. The man grabbed the blade with his hands and smiled at me. The blade did n't cut him or reap his soul. I stared at him, mouth agape, puzzled. 
 
 He laughed at me. Menacing yet kind laugh. I took a step back. 
 
 `` Who... what are you?'' I corrected myself. 
 
 The man lunged forward, grabbing my throat and lifting me up. I was n't used to the feeling of touch, and this was horrible. `` My friend.'' His voice silky smooth. `` Hello, my Lucifer, I'm the Devil.'' He opened his mouth anxnd I felt incredible heat as he swallowed my soul.
