I watched the mysterious Xaon as he sat in the corner of our dilapidated apartment, on the floor. I could feel a chill run up my spine as he spoke with that strange, monotone voice.

"Marlowe?"

I couldn't help but jump as the shadowy man said my name. He normally referred to me as "woman", as an object. I knew what would happen if I didn't answer his call so I slowly looked at him. He's so damn creep though. All I can see are those bright, crystal blue eyes staring at me. "Y-yes Lord?"

"What are these fools arguing about?"

"Ummm...something about Hades and targets...and Lucifer being a bitch..."

I heard a "hrmf" come from him, then a laugh. "I thought I heard something about fire too. An...inferno match?"

"Exactly. Eek!" I felt something crawling on my bare leg and looked down at it, my daisy dukes riding up. There on my leg was a giant cockroach...one of the hissing cockroaches.

But what he said next made me gag. "You going to eat that, woman?"

Gulp.
