My God of Death *Chptr 2*

I kept running and I was there in about thirty seconds. I stood just above a man harassing a twelve year old girl.

Pervert I thought as I tackled him unconscious to the ground. I looked over to the girl who was balling her eyes out. I reached out my hand had she took it, letting me lead the way to my house. When we walked in the house I told her she could go take a shower after Ethan got out. As if on cue, Ethan stepped out and asked

“Who’s this?” I looked at the girl and told her to go take a shower. I gave him my ‘I’ll tell you later’ face and walked to the spare bedroom to get it ready the girl. Then I took some of my old clothes and set them outside the bathroom door. I went into the living room, sat on the leather couch, turned off the T.V., and said simply

“I think you should get some burgers Ethan.” he nodded and got up.

“I’ll be back” he said as he walked out the door. Five minutes later I heard the bathroom door open, and then close again. A few minutes later, she comes in and sits next to me.

“Ummm...do you have----”

“He’s getting food right now” I interrupted knowing that she must be hungry.

“Oh ok... well I’m Katana.... what’s’ your name?” she asked.

“My name is Paine. Do you like hamburgers?” I asked. She nodded. Hear a knock on the door.

“I’ll be right back ok?” I said and I get up and go to the door. I get up and open the door. A man in a white coat was standing in the doorway.

“Ms. Catherine?”

“I’m sorry you have the wrong adress.”

“Were you once known as Catherine?”

“No, now go away’’ I said getting nervous. I was just about to close the door when he said

“I know what you are.” I froze.

How'd they find me so fast? I thought as I reopened the door.

“What did you say?” I half asked, half demanded.

“I said I know what you are” he said. I slammed the door in his face and ran to my room. I grabbed my two duffle bags and started gathering my clothes. “Where are you going?” I heard Katana ask.

“It’s complicated” I said with my back turned to her.

“Ummm... can I help?” she asked.

“Actually you can. Ok go into your room and type in this code into the thermostat. When you do wait until something happens when it does, grab the white case ok?” I turned my back and started to pack again. I just finished packing my clothes and shoes when she came back.

“Thank you” I said to her as I heard the front door shut.

“Sorry it took so long” I heard Ethan say as he came into my room.

“They found me.” I said to him.

“So you have to leave again?” I looked at him. He looked so hurt, so alone.

“It’s not technically leaving if you’re coming too.” I said with a smile. He looked at me, shocked.

"I...I thought people just slowed you down." He said, but then looked at the girl.

"What about her?" He asked. Fuck. I didn't think about her. Katana looked at me, not knowing what to say.

"Well," I said, "I guess she'll have to come." the girls eyes started to twinkle.... Damn.
