Chapter 3 - The Smiling Reaper

Jessica freeze in place. The strongest entity in Death City is right in front of her, sitting at her bar.

Edofhel The Smiling Reaper take out a cigarette and light it. "What's wrong, dear? You look surprised," he said in a smug tone.

Jessica didn't answer. She serve the drink and then cleaning another glass, trying to ignore him.

"They was right. This bar serving a good drink."

"It's just a normal drink," said Jessica.

"I know. But if it served by a right person it would be taste better."

Jessica never heard that from anyone before. Edofhel gulp down his drink and CHEW the glass. Jessica feel sick by the view.

"Are you new here? Cuz' i never see you before," Edofhel asking while smoking his cigarette.

"Yes i am."

"How?"

"Bike accident."

Edofhel grinning, showing his sharp teeth. "I see you're a bad girl in the past, correct?"

"Kind of," Jessica still not staring at Edofhel.

"Yeah. Drug dealing, vandalism, violence, gun violence, gang fight, and stealing stuff," Edofhel confidently reading a book where there is Jessica's sin written. "Quite a bad girl."

Jessica gritted her teeth in anger.

"You know? A talented person like you should be at the street, claiming territory. Not working in a bar wasting your talent," Edofhel stated.

"Listen, pal. I'm happy with what i am, okay?" Jessica slammed her fist on the table.

Edofhel smile getting wider. "See? That was quite a punch. But, you're right. I have no right to force you into something you didn't like--"

"That's right, jackass...," Helena coming back, pointing her gun at Edofhel's head. "I won't let you hurt her."

However the Smiling Reaper didn't lose his smile. He turn around, stood up from the chair, stood tall in front of Helena, although their height are same.

"If i want to hurt her....i would have done it few moment ago," Edofhel's eyes glowing red for a sec. "Now! I guess i should take my leave!"

Edofhel turn into a black smoke, flew out of the bar leaving Jessica and Helena. She run to Jessica to check her out if she's hurt.

"Don't worry. He's doing nothing to me," Jessica said with a small smile.

"Oh glad you're okay. I never thought that jackass will be showed up tonight."

Jessica stare at the door. "Neither do i," she touch two line that goes across each her eye vertically. That is her trademark, her teeth also become sharp like shark. "This is me now...."
