  A r t h u r | K . | G r a y ;  Death is overrated. Art held his arm around her tighter as she cuddled against him.
He shut his eyes as she spoke. Oh baby..
He cursed the skies for being so cruel. It was a rarity for the reaper to have a family member as a name, but sometimes it happened. Art had always heard that it was a one in a million chance or something. That or because there was something that one part of the pair needed to know, or do.
Art played with her hair lightly then kept her close into a hug. "I'm so sorry." he whispered back, sincerely, and full of guilt. If she had carried on up, her sister would be joining her up in those pearly gates.

SavannahBrookeColton People say I'm the life of the party 'cause I make a joke or two.
Although I might be laughing loud and hardy deep inside I am blue.
So take a good look at my face, you'll see my smile looks out of place.
If you look closer its easy to trace the tracks of my tears.
I need you, need you.
Art held her tighter. "Its okay.." She bit her bottom lip.
"She's not even sick.. Mom insisted on testing us all after she found out I was sick. And regurly too." Savannah buried her head in his chest. "I don't understand is all,"
She looked up at him. "Guess its better than some random repear doing it huh?"

A r t h u r | K . | G r a y ; Death is overrated. Art ran his hand up and down her back lightly as she spoke.
He didn't understand it a lot of the time himself. Just that it was fate, and that things happen for a reason, and that 99% of the time, the reason didn't sway in your favour.
"Mm." he replied quietly. He didn't know about that one. If it was someone else, no doubt it would be easier. How would she deal with having to watch her sister in her last days, minutes.. moments. She couldn't exactly show herself like he had- as far as her family were concerned, she was dead.

Savannah sighed. "I only think so because what if ... I mean.. everyone gets the choice right?" She bit her bottom lip. "I want her to move on, even if I didn't."
Okay, so she wasn't exactly clear on the fact that she couldn't show herself to her family now.
"At least I get to be there once more for them.."

A r t h u r | K . | G r a y ; Death is overrated. Art nodded. Understandable.
He played with her hair lightly as she spoke. "Guess so. But, sweetheart- you know you don't have to show yourself to her right?" he asked, looking down at her slightly.
"You could just watch and guide, spiritually and all that until.. it's time. I mean, it's only an option, but if you chose to show yourself to her, that could initially just make things harder." He said softly.
He wasn't so much just thinking about her sister being shocked at seeing her dead sister, but also thinking about how she herself might feel. No doubt she'd be doubly upset, full of regret and maybe even guilt. Or all of the above.
Savannah had chosen to be this, and as far as he knew, the cost of changing your mind didn't come cheap in their business.

"I don't?" Savannah looked up at him, tilting her head into his fingertips. The feeling of his skin on her head in a comforting manner actually helped her.
"You're right.. I dunno. I guess I'll just have to see how it goes."
Todays date? It was... hm. She actually had to think about this one for a moment.
"Its July twenty... second?" She questioned. (hope you don't mind me picking a random date!<33)
Savannah closed her eyes.
She had exactly a month.
"When does my reaping start?"

A r t h u r | K . | G r a y ; Death is overrated. "Yep." Art said, nodding as she asked the date. (not at all (; <33)
He looked ahead of them as he saw their gondola ride coming up to an end up ahead. He looked down at her again as she asked him another question. "Whenever you want- just so long as you're there, ready to, uh- take here on the day you're meant to, it doesn't really matter when you 'start'."
Though, he always started as soon as he got the name. Not all reapers did. Some even later till the last day or so. Not Art though, he didn't know why. In a way, he sort of did it so that it wouldn't be so scary in the end.
Humans can tell when something isn't quite right. When you get those invisible eyes on you from somewhere, and you're the only one in the room. He'd rather start early, so that they shrug off the weird feeling and carry on with what was left of their lives, rather see them out of the world in a paranoid state.
Or sometimes, he just did it to get to know them.

"Okay." Savannah looked up at the gondala driver as he came to a stop.
He said something in Italian and Sav offered up a thankful smile as she stood on weak knees to exit the gondala.
"Do you have anywhere you'd like to go specifically before we head to my mothers?" She asked before she stepped onto the sidewalk and released the drivers helping hand.

A r t h u r | K . | G r a y ; Death is overrated. Followed suit as Savannah stepped off the gondola and onto the sidewalk. "Grazie tanto." he said, looking back at the man and giving him some money that had just appeared in his hand only a few moments ago. "Prego.. prego."
He caught up with Savannah and put his arm around her, walking alongside her through the streets of Venice. "You want to go now?" he asked, tilting his head to the side, thinking of where else they could go. "Not really..I guess." he said.

Savannah sighed softly and leaned into him as they walked along. "You were talking about the Tower of Piza... So?" She looked up at him. "I mean, might as well.." Ah they could always return, no matter.
"Yeah, I'd like to go see her, and see if anything's wrong.." She closed her eyes tightly and

"Yeah, I'd like to go see her, and see if anything's wrong.." She closed her eyes tightly and she pictured her mothers house. It took her only two tries to get them there. And they arrived on the front stoop, already in repear form.
She entered the house silently, to find her brother on the couch with some blonde. He looked pained, as if emotionally scared or something. But the girl was distracting him.
"Gross," She muttered.
Her mom must not be there. And her sister seemed absent as well.
But then an annoying ringing erupted and her brother looked pissed.
"Hullo?" The girl wasn't backing off though.
"What?" He pretty much shoved her off and yanked up his pants.
"I'll be there soon." He clicked it shut. "I have to go, there's been a terrible accident with my little sister." And with that, he was gone.
Savannah stood, unmoving.
Wait.
What?

A r t h u r | K . | G r a y ; Death is overrated. Art nodded, and his next step was into her mothers house, straight after her.
He crossed his arms and leant against the wall as he watched the scene play out in front of him, and his girlfriend's reaction.
Her brother took the expected (by Art at least) call and left worriedly, leaving the blonde unsatisfied and confused. Art looked to Savannah, who appeared frozen, as if she was seeing a ghost or something. Ironic really, if you think about it.
Art's jaw clenched slightly and he stood forward and put his hand on her shoulder gently. "Come on honey." Her family needed her, in whatever way they could have her right now- even just as a familiar feeling in the room.

Savannah was shaken when his hand slid around her shoulder. "Hm? Oh." She was slowly walking but then just closed her eyes to appear in the car next to her brother.
She made sure to stay in repear form. Once they arrived at the hospital after a testy drive over and then she looked around as they walked inside. She groaned, running her fingers through her hair nervously. Then she rushed to her brothers side, pulling Art behind her.
She entered the waiting room and found her mother, crying.
"She was in a car accident. It was terrible. She's..she might not make it.." More sobs as her brother embraced her mom.
Savannah fell into the chair and didn't breathe.
What now? She had to .. She knew the outcome.
This.. This was too much.

A r t h u r | K . | G r a y ; Death is overrated. Art watched Savannah as they followed her brother out of the car and into the hospital.
He stood back as they walked into the waiting room and her mother and brother seemed to prepare themselves from the worst.
He frowned a little as Savannah fell back into a chair. He sighed and sat in the chair next to her, taking her hand. He said a silent player, asking for the genius who came up with the idea to give her sister as her first assignment to be put through permanent torture. Maybe a visit to the seven circles.
Art put his hand lightly on hers on the arm rest. "You don't have to do this now you know. There is time." he said, getting more and more worried about his girlfriend.
