“Diaz…Look…” Yangi pointed behind me.
I turned, I witnessed Gutz coughing blood from his wound in the stomach...he then looked at me and told me to come closer with his finger. I started walking with a pain in my chest…then I slowly kneeled to him.
“Your a demon of few words…what do you want?” I asked with caution.
“I need to ask you something” he began…
“Please, kill Shock…before you ask…I’ll tell you why.” Gutz made a large cough and I held his hand, he started to tell...
“A long time ago…I was known for taking the souls of the dead humans…placing them in the fires of Hell…or the lights of Heaven.
I hated my job…all the sad faces…all the suffering…all the cries...
One night…I was looking out at the moon and graves…and I saw this girl…looking at me…smiling…
I have no reason why…she smiled even though I was Death itself…
Then I learned to love this girl…we sat on the tomes together and watched the night sky…I truly loved her…
The next night she kissed me…and I couldn’t help but tear up…and she just laughed…I smiled…it was my first time I smiled…
On the night I was going to ask her to be my wife…Shock had stabbed her in the back…in front of my eyes…I was going to rip him apart…but he told me if I helped him be the King of Hell, he would bring her back to me……
Diaz…I’m so sorry…”
He made one last cough and looked into the sky…
“I know I will never see her again…” he closed his eyes and began to cry…really…everyone began to cry that moment…
Then we saw something strange…a light came down…an angel?
He opened his eyes and dropped his mouth…
“Jamie…”
The angel spoke, “Yes…I’ve missed you…”
Gutz closed his eyes again…“I have sinned too much…I’m afraid I can’t join you Jamie…” She just smiled…
“Don’t worry…I’m joining you…”
Gutz shouted with tears, “YOU CAN’T!”
Jamie rested her head on his wounded chest…
“I’ve waited to long for you…please don’t leave me...”
Gutz smiled and shut his eyes for the last time, “As long as we are together…I will always be happy.”
He was then silent…Gutz…the demon of death…has found true happiness…
I then stood up and rubbed the tears from my eyes…
“Sorry, I must face Sock alone…goodbye…”
They all nodded and watched me walk the long road…
As I walked…I saw two white lights heading into the skies…then I dropped one last tear…but at the same time I smiled……
