Roxie laughed "That's what everyone says..." She said rolling her eyes "Mortals and demons alike..." She chuckled before nodding "All the more reason to end it... You could save yourself..." She said pursing her lips as she knit her eyebrows together "Yeah and I'm the only thing keeping the other demons away... If you don't kill her by sundown we will take both of you by force... Quit playing these games and just get it over with... You may not think so but you care about her... So don't make her suffer being tortured by death in her life and afterlife." She said before disappearing just as Maxine came back downstairs "Hey... Everything okay?" She asked skeptically looking over him and studying his body language "You look pissy and on edge..." She admitted.

Maxine smirked "I'm not surprised..." She smirked playfully before she gave a nod "Is she a stalker?" She teased with a chuckle before heaving a sigh her phone vibrating in her pocket "Crap..." She muttered "I gotta get those packaged paintings in the mail by tonight... I'm sorry... You're welcome to come back any time though." She assured him putting her phone back into her pocket "Here gimmie your hand..." She said pulling out a pen, once she had his hand she wrote her number down for him in her palm "You can text me too to let me know you're coming even." She smiled before she grabbed her bag and a few of the paintings that were already packaged "Can you get the door?" She asked "Please?"

Maxine chuckled "Just close the door when you leave!" She called as she ran out "Crap crap crap crap..." She muttered under her breath as she ran off with the packages.

Roxie appeared in front of him "What?" She asked raising a brow "What do you need me for? To tell you yet again what I've already told you?" She asked crossing her arms.

"Because unlike Death I like to play with my toys instead of order them around." She winked playfully. "This game is especially fun... Death has never put out a bounty on a soul before..." She smiled her eyes full of excitement "I'm only telling you to kill her because unlike you I'm loyal to death... But I am loving this game..." She smirked "Unfortunately death says I can't play anymore..." She said pouting before two demons showed up on either side of Sage holding his arms back. They were big bulky guys too... Each with saber tooth tiger tusks that sprouted from their top and bottom lips where the rest of their razor-like teeth were hidden "Take him back to the building... I'll stay behind and wait for his playmates return." She assured playfully waving to Sage before he and his demon body guards disappeared.

When he was brought back into the building he was looking death right in the face, his hair was just as white as his skin and his features were sunken in "Good evening Sage..." He said. He was in his human form which was rare for him. But his smile was still wicked.

Death curled his lips into a smile "Only by a few minutes..." He said "Roxie tells me you've found a playmate... A mortal of all things... That mortal you were suppose to kill this morning no less..." He said simply "She'll be joining us soon enough." He smirked "And since you refuse to kill her you will watch as the other demons and I fix your mistake... Then you'll be banished to the depths of hell... Buried so far down you won't be able to climb back into the light again..." He said with a smirk "I hope you enjoyed your time in the sun..." He said clenching his fists to make him feel pain again "Cause you'll never see it again!" He shouted finally letting his hands fall into a relaxed position once again.
