"Excuse me!" Zane left Azrael to maul over what he just informed her.<span style="font-style: italic">Well, i guess if I was in there position I would be the same way.</span>Azrael looked over at Zane piling his plate with meat and a ghost of a smile was on her lips. It didn't reach her eyes though. The scene reminded her so much of her late fiance when she would cook for him after a late night at the hospital. She wiped the memory away before tears spilled over and she became a sobbing mess in front of the reapers. She rifled her mug and looked around to see children laughing, couples dancing and even a huge line of people swarming the table for food. Everything felt so lively, so welcoming there wasn't a sign of danger.<br/><br/>She looked up in the sky, dawn was nearing soon. The sun beginning to set as more people danced and music filled the air making her smile sadly to herself. "SQUAWK!" Azrael felt her blood chill when the big black crow came into view. it was perched on a tree far away from the party. Slowly she got up from the table and carefully walked over to the bird, all the hairs on her arms stood at attention. Warning bells sounded in her head making her cringe. She plucked the bird out of the tree lightning fast and saw the symbol of an Ouroboros wax seal on a scroll that was clutched in the crows talons.<br/><br/>Reaching for the scroll she set the bird free on the branch and opened the scroll very carefully. Bile rose in her throat along with anger and most of all fear.<br/><br/>RAE,<br/><br/>YOU AND THE REAPERS WILL SUFFER  IF YOU DO NOT COME BACK QUICKLY AND QUIETLY. THAT IS A FACT AND AN ORDER.<br/><br/>MARCO.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Damn that man!</span>Azrael glared at the bird and resisted the urge to snap its neck in half. She looked back at the party and froze when she saw Zane's grey eyes lock with hers mouthing "Come here." Azrael sighed, went back up to the table and handed Zane the message.<br/><br/>"We already have a problem."
