Morrigan flew through the night sky. A man unseen, on wings non-existent... at least not on the physical plane. As he reached his next target, his wings dissipated into the air they were made from and after his utterance of a few words, a bow manifests in his hands.
The city bus drove down the street in its normal manner. On a seat towards the back, an expectant young mother is on her way to her husbands work. Morrigan spoke a few more words and a golden arrow begins to materialize on the bow. He draws the string back and closes his eyes. He lets go.
The arrow flies through the air in perfect accuracy. immediately after it hits the engine of the bus, the driver's front tire blows. the bus goes hurdling into a building across the street. Morrigan pulls back the string as 3 more arrows appear. he lets them fly into their targets. The car in the bus' path bursts into flames on impact. The homeless man on the sidewalk in front of the is hit by the shrapnel from the exploding sedan. The bus hits the paint thinner factory on the opposite side of the street. the bus is instantly engulfed in flames as its drenched in the factory's lost product.
Morrigan turns his head to the distant drone of sirens. He smiles as he directs the souls to the underworld to be judged and relaxed. as they move through the sky, Morrigan says to himself, "wow, i haven't done a job that big in a while". He opens his crow wings and takes flight once more.
He lands in front of a hospital and walks inside. He reaches the oncology ward and looks into a room where there's a girl sitting in the bed. she's crying again about losing her hair. Morrigan wonders why someone could be so concerned about their lack of hair when the doctors give them 6 months to live. He sighs and steps away from the door. He says a quick spell and a purple mist envelops him as golden ribbons surround his figure. when all clears, he is left standing there in a white lab coat with glasses. He moves his hand in a circle in front of him. Following his finger is a violet line. he looks around to make sure no one is there and steps through the portal. He walks into the room and sits next to the girl. He looks at her and says, "I'm sorry dear, but its your time to go". He touches her forehead. Her vital sign monitors begin beeping intensely. He knew that the nurses would be in soon. He stands and draws the same circle he did before. As he steps through he returns to his black tuxedo and greets the girl's soul standing in the room.

Kenzie was just your typical girl, she loved to take walks by the lake and talk with her friends. She would hang out with her friends at the mall most days but then there was work that had to be done. She was studying to dancer, it was her dream to go to Julliard and to be on stage.
But all of that came to a screeching halt when the doctor's found cancer. Her parent's had the doctor's do everything they can to cure her but they said that the cancer was too advanced for them to do anything and gave her a couple of months. Not even a year or two but months. It was hard to go to school now, the chemo always made her sick so it was impossible for her to work. She would just sit at home feeling nausious and her mother would drive her to her treatments but as she started getting weaker and weaker each week the doctor's had her stay in the hospital.
Kenzie's father stopped coming around and stayed at work more. Her mother would bring her things to cheer her up but it was hard to stay strong when you were give almost the exact time of your death.
Kenzie sits in her bed with some stupid nonsense show on the tv in the background. She had lost almost all of her hair, just one more thing that god had to take from her. She couldn't help but cry again. What had she ever done to deserve this but then she heard a voice. "My time" she said and the next thing she knew she was standing in the hallway look at some guy in a tux. "Who are you?"

Morrigan stopped and looked at the girl. "My name is Morrigan. I am the... uh... i guess you could call me the grim reaper." Morrigan said to the girl. "I've taken you from this life so you could relax, worry free, and return to your next with a perfect card of health." He pointed towards at the floor, "Its time for you to go now, go on, i have work to do."

Her brows knitted together, he had a very odd name but some how it suited him. She listened to his words but she didn't like what she heard. "You took me from my life" she asked in sort of a sneer. What if she wasn't ready to go yet? Who was he to decide that she went at this exact moment. "No" she told him and placed her hands on her hips "What if I told you that I didn't want to leave this life just yet, that I'm not ready to leave this life" she said removing her hands from her hips and crossing her arms. She sharply nodded her head like she had won the argument if there was one. "And who are you to decided if I go right this moment" Kenzie was a fighter and would be until the moment she had no choice and in every situation or argument she had a choice.

Morrigan smirked at her and turned his head to walk away. "You really think its up to me? this is my job you know, and I'm not the only one, there are many others like me, I was just the first and am the best. I have bosses just like any other job. Osiris decided you needed to go and Anubis sent me the order. You need to be judged, just like all others who pass". He walked over to the window and sprouted his wings, opened it and perched in the sill. "Now float down there before I get in trouble". He jumped out the window and flew off.

She followed behind him not caring to listen to him or what ever his bosses wanted. She looked out the window at where he wanted her to go. Then she looked back at him just as she saw his wings. She had to be dreaming this, there's no way that some guy in a suit talking about Anubis and Osiris giving him orders and then wings just appearing. "No way" she said shaking her head "I'm not going anywhere especially if it deals with Osiris" she said and turned on her heels to walk back to her room in the hospital. She was going to try and make herself wake up. There was no stopping her when she was determined to do something.

Morrigan looked behind himself to make sure that girl wasn't following him. When he saw that nothing was behind him he said to himself, "good, I'm glad she realized what needs to happen". He turned his head back in front of him to see where he was going, that girl almost made him late for his next appointment.
A voice appeared in his head so loud it almost made him crash. he squinted in pain as he listened to the angered voice of Anubis. "You're late on your last target, Morrigan, whats happening?" "she was a bit confused on the way things work, I set her straight".Morrigan answered, hoping this girl's thick head wouldn't cause any negative repercussions upon him. "Then why isn't she here yet?" the voice boomed. Morrigan, now shocked, stops mid flight and hovers as he speaks to Anubis. "That cant be, i sent her on her way. I can't believe someone wouldn't go". "It is your responsibility to get her down here before Osiris finds out that there's a lost soul wandering the hospital". Anubis says infuriated at Morrigan for his irresponsibility. "Yes sir, her heart will be on your balance before the moon is highest".[/size]

Kenzie finally made it back to her room but it was so crowded with people. She slipped past a couple people in the room and saw her parent's there taking to a doctor of to the side. She looked back at her bed and someone was covering her bed with a white sheet but there was something underneath. She slowly walked over to the bed and barely lifted up the sheet. Her face if it had color would be gone by now. 'I am dead' she thought to herself. This scared her and she looked back at her parents. She loved them and wished that she had gotten the chance to say goodbye.
She took a deep breath and walked out of the room 'What now?' Kenzie thought as she walked around the hospital dropping in on some of the people she had come to know as her friends. Then she found her way into the children's ward. She just watched as a few of them played in the play area. She wanted to cry but she knew that crying wouldn't change anything so she just watched. Laughing when they laughed and listening to them play.

Morrigan appeared behind Kenzie and said in a stern voice, "I told you to get down there. you wouldn't go, and now you've gotten me into trouble. I need you to get on with the processing". He noticed her being on the brink of tears and softened up a bit. he touched a small lock of her hair and said, "I promise you, it'll be better there. I mean look, you have your hair back already and it just gets better from there".

She jumped at his voice but just stayed where she was "I told you no" she said in the same stern voice. She slapped his hand away from her hair and turned to him "This isn't about my hair or any of that" she hissed at him and crossed her arms. "Good, I'm glad I screwed up your day cause you sure as hell screwed up mine" she stomped away from him down the hallway. She didn't want to deal with him right now but then she stopped at the end of the hallway and turned to him "Wait a minute, I'm not going anywhere. You messed up things for me now I'm going to mess them up for you" she walked back over to him. He was quite a bit taller...alright he was a lot taller then her and she had to look up at him which kind of put out her steam. Though there was still fire burning behind her eyes "So what happens if I don't go down there?"

Morrigan squinted lightly as he looked down at her while he was trying to figure out what to say. "I... uh... don't know". He hardens up a bit when he looks into her pissy little eyes. "But I'm not about to find out. now go." He looked at her and his glare softened. He turned away to get back to work. "If I get another talking to from Anubis, I won't be the only one who has hell to pay". He moved back to the window he came through and left in the same manner as before.

"You're useless" she screamed at him and just turned around. The hospital was boring and depressing. So she turned and walked out of the hospital. What was she going to do now? No one could see her and she had no where to go. Kenzie ran a hand through her hair, she was happy to have her hair back. Though she didn't have anything to style her hair with. She desperately needed a brush. She would go home and clean up a bit then she would figure out what do to from there.

"This won't end well unless she learns her lesson and goes on with things the way they have to be". Morrigan flew on to his next target. He had to round them all up before his time was up. He perched on a building and his wings disappeared. He drew his bow and the gold arrow formed. He took aim at the drunk young man stumbling down the street. When he let go the arrow hit its mark perfectly. The college student tripped on the curb and fell in front of a car. The car's tires squealed as they ran over the man. "Instant, just the way i like it". Morrigan chuckled and moved on his way down the building to the house party the student came from. He jumped off the building and landed in front of the house. He started walking towards the pad and stopped. "wait a minute, this won't work". he closed his eyes and mouthed a spell. the same purple mist and golden ribbons surrounded him. when it cleared, he stood there in a flat billed hat off to the side, a polo shirt and khaki shorts that looked worn from the store. "perfect" he grinned. He walked into the house and the loud music drowned his ears.

Kenzie finally walked out of the hospital and looked around. She waited to feel the warm sun on her body but the warmth never came. She took a deep breath but there was no air to feel the lungs she didn't really have anymore. "Ugh" she growled and just started to walk away.
She started to head to her home but then there was a loud ruckus and when she turned to look at the street her head sank. There was a terrible accident and to her she couldn't see anything that caused the accident. Then she say him 'That asshole' she thought to herself 'well if he likes screwing up peoples lives then I'll screw up his' she got an idea. She slipped her way into the house, not like anyone would notice her but she made sure that Morrigan didn't notice her. But she stay in the room in a place that she could easily see him but he couldn't see her. Now all she had to do was wait for the right moment.

Morrigan drew the purple circle just as he did before and stepped through. He looked around and smiled as he noticed that everyone was too drunk to care that he appeared from nowhere. He walked up to who he could easily notice was the head Bro and host of the house party. "Dude... I'm so hammered right now, i need to find John, man, he's my ride home bro!" The Bro looked at morrigan and answered, "fuck bro, i just seen him pukin in the back yard". "thanks, man". Morrigan began walking away. "Hey, fool, do I know you?" The host threw Morrigan for a whim, he didn't expect someone to actually catch on. "yeah man," Morrigan chuckled "I was at Chad's party last week, I was the guy who got all the sorority babes to take their shirts off". Morrigan looked nervously at the college kid in front of him. the Bro laughed annoyingly and lifted his head sharply, "oh yea, that shit was tight". Morrigan stumbled out the door as he pretended to be drunk. He scanned the yard as the storm door shut behind him. sure enough, a young man fitting his next target's description was bent over behind a tree in convulsions. Morrigan began walking towards the guy.
