The Reaper

"I can tell you're staring." The Reaper noted as she turned to gaze at me. Her red eyes narrowing on my figure. "You're wondering you can possess me." She smirked.

"Was it that obvious?" You questioned.

"A lucky hunch." She joked. "Many have tried, all have failed." She told him.

"I suppose you'll destroy my soul now." I questioned.

"Don't assume the worst. I expect as much, its the natural response some people have. I know my form is very alluring. That's why I choose it."

"That's a relief." I said.

"If you want...I can let you take it." The reaper told me with a sly grin.

"I'm sorry...what?" I questioned. Did I hear her right?

"I did say you can take whatever body you want. That includes mine." She told him.

"Wait...what...you would really just...give me your body?" I asked.

"A body is merely a vessel. I can always make more. Besides you'd just have the body, not any other power." She specified.

"But...why?"

"I can't naturally interfere in the lives of the mortal. But someone piloting my body...now that's a different story." She noted. "It's also rather fitting don't you say. You take the form of the reaper and chase after them in life, then when you kill them, I'll come and take there souls in ****. They wanted to escape **** by changing bodies, now ****'s own body will come after them." She giggled. "Very poetic don't you think."

"I guess." I responded.

"Good well then...let's go and find some place private." The reaper said as you flew to an abandoned building with her. "This seems like a good spot." The Reaper noted as she prepared to hand over her body. "I should tell you how smart you are. My body will have some benefits that no mortal one would have."

"Benefits?" I questioned. I wasn't expecting that. Then again, after today I don't know what to expect any more.

"I don't need to eat, drink or sleep, though you can still indulge yourself. I'm also immune to various diseases and I can recover quickly." She informed. "Oh, and I can't get pregnant." She added with a tease.

"Wait...what?"

"Just saying...in case you want to experiment." She giggled.

"No thanks." I answered.

"That aside, my body is still technically going to be frail like a mortal. At best its just as fit as athlete like a gymnast so don't expect any sort of super human strength. Also while it can heal...you'll still feel pain." She informed.

"Okay...I'll keep that in mind." I told her.

"Good...now...then....fill me." The Reaper said as she smiled at me. I was confused by her wording before I saw her eyes start to roll back into her head. A dark essence seeped out of her mouth and her eye sockets as the Reaper's body deflate and fell to the floor like a piece of cloth. The darkness convulsed into a cloud above her deflate body. Two blue wisps of fire lit up, resembling eyes in the cloud.

"Well human...go on." The cloud...no the reaper spoke to me.

"Wait...what?"

"Walk over to my body and touch it." They instructed. I did as I was told. I walked over to the reaper's discard skin. It felt off putting how the scenario as a whole was, it was by unsettling even if I knew it was ultimately to aid me.

I glanced at the deflated skin, stretching my arm out to touch it. Upon making contact, I could only stare in surprise as my being was pulled in. The essence of my soul was sucked in by the skin's vacant mouth and eye sockets. I was overwhelmed and soon my world went black.

"Wakey...wakey." A voice called out. As I opened my eyes I was greeted by a pair giant talking cloud with literal fire eyes.

"AH!" I shrieked as I instinctively jumped back. That's when I heard laughing....the cloud was laughing at me.

"Ah, first possession freak outs are the best." The cloud chuckled. Wait...memories of events prior started to fill my mind. "Reaper." I questioned.

"The one and only, how do you like the new body." It questioned. New body...oh right. I glanced down at myself taking in my new figure. "Let me help you." Reaper added as they moved some of the glass from the windows to create a make-shift mirror. "What do you think?"

I stared at my reflection. "This is...me." I gasped. I was a woman...and unnaturally beautiful woman at that. I touched my new face in awe.

"Yes," The reaper answered. "I trust you'll enjoy the experience." It told me. "Just keep your end of the deal." They warned. "Well I'm off." They said. "If you need any advice...just call my name...and I'll come...probably. Toodle ooo."

With that the Reaper disappeared without a trace. "Such a strange entity." I thought as I watched where they had been. You'd never thing the Grim Reaper would act so...strange. Nevertheless you grateful. You got a new body, a new lease of life and more importantly a chance for payback. Now then....

What's your first move?
