Thunder and lightning illuminated the blurry ground below them. It was no longer flaming and she could no longer see Zachary's melting body.
He was naught but ashes now. Though she didn't care what happened to that fucker. Knowing he was dead was enough for her.
"Little chef," the man she was holding for dear life whispered his plea once more. "We are going to fall."
"Then we fall. Together. We die together, Lucas. I am with you all the way." She whispered with conviction, tears blurring her image of him, her eyes never leaving his.
If this was the price of their love then so be it.
"I love you, little chef. Forever."
He was saying goodbye. His glowing dragon's eyes were dimming. His heart, beating alongside hers was slowly fading.

Stay safe, sis."Her sister Anna pulled her close and embraced her lovingly, soothing her and at the same time drawing strength. Rie gave it without second thoughts. Anna bent down to kiss Mish's pale cheek. "Lock the door to our room and don't come out until I get back."She smiled and nodded. "You take care, sis. Don't worry about us. We'll manage." They always do.Anna smiled tearfully. She loathed leaving her and Mish by themselves but she had to work to feed them.

Anna Marie"The crab risotto is on the pass, chef, easy on the salt and pepper as requested."She nodded to one of her sous chefs. Fridays were busy nights. This supernatural restaurant was no different from a human restaurant.If there was a slight difference, these people love expensive menus.There was no sense in holding back from the expenses. She worked with the best ingredients money could buy and delighted her patrons with sumptuous delicacies. And charge them higher than normal.These folks were extremely loaded. So far, her cashier has not seen an ordinary card yet. It was all in black or red. The no-limits type.Vampires and Demons like blood on their wines, well they didn't have to go anywhere else for that. Cabernet Sauvignon 1992 and Château Cheval Blanc 1947 in type A. What more could they ask for? They were hooked for life.
