Coming Feb 2014
Riss had been a guardian for as long as there had been humans to watch over. He supposed he should feel honored to be the one to watch over and guide a human to their afterlife. But if he was honest with himself, and really he had no choice in that area, he had been thinking of quitting. A drastic move for one such as himself. Thousands of years watching babies grow up, experience things he'd never do then die was taking its toll on him. A few of his brethren as well. The doors slid open as soon as he came to the one he'd been called to. Tholan, direct supervisor and his good friend stood up but he did not look happy.

“Miss Ravenhall?” When she didn’t answer he moved closer to the bed. He could see that she was attached to several machines and one of them showed her heart rate. It wasn’t good. He said her name a little louder and she looked at him.
“Molly? Is she dead?” He shook his head not sure what he was supposed to do when he couldn’t lie to her. “She’s my savior. I told you that before.”
“You did. I filed the paperwork and did just what I told you I would. Everything is in order.” She closed her eyes and smiled. Phil watched her until she opened them again.
“She will be so mad at me.” Phil thought that was an understatement but said nothing. “I should have listened to her sooner and left him. But I wanted it to work out. No, that’s not true. I didn’t want the press to find out that I’d failed.”
“It’s doubtful that your fans would think you could fail at anything.” She laughed slightly and the monitors started beeping. “Miss Ravenhall, is there anything else I can do for you?”
Phil knew that she was as good as dead. There was no way she’d be able to come back from the damage done to her. He was surprised that she was this coherent. The wrapping around her head did nothing to hide the fact that she’d been shot twice in the head. He could tell the damage done to her brain.
