BORN INTO DEATH: TRANSITION

BOOK TWO OF THE DELIVERER SERIES

CHAPTER ONE

I had come to the rapid conclusion that dying really fucking sucked.  No peaceful final moments of realizing that all my struggles and worries were over.  No pretty white light in which I could see the spirit of a loved one ushering me home.  Hell I didn’t even get the relief of there being no more pain so that my death were a little bit easier right up til the end.

But I guess that’s what I got for agreeing to let myself be killed by a demon so I could become a servant of both Heaven and Hell.

Sounds pretty messed up right?  You have NO idea.  But just so we can get caught up to my current position of laying on my own living room floor with a knife stuck in my heart and a sexy as Hell, but apparently wrong in the head, demon looking down at me with a happy-as-can-be grin on his face let me give you the quick rundown on how I came to be dying.  See my jerkoff of a father, who had spent years abusing and generally tormenting my mother and I, had gone off and found a way to sell MY soul to the aforementioned demon.  Now generally that sort of thing wouldn’t be allowed by those in Heaven but Reaver (that’s the sexy demon who’s ass I’m going to kick just as soon as I’m dead and then un-dead) found a way to get someone up in Heaven to agree to a twisted sort of arrangement.  He gets to kill me then keep my body as his new Deliverer of the wicked and evil souls, like my father, and my soul will be kept on ‘hold’ and, after I’ve done a good job, I will still get to go to Heaven.

It really hadn’t sounded like too bad of a deal at the time and considering that Reaver would have killed me either way I figured I may as well get on board.  Of course he’d also mentioned something about making my death a ‘little less painful’ and that was FAR from the truth of what I was feeling as I bled out on my hardwood floors, so I was more than slightly sure that my new ‘Boss’ was going to be prone to leaving a few details out of whatever he happened to be saying at the time.
