Cowboy Bebop Fan Fiction ❯ Stone of Light ❯ Bargain ( Chapter 4 )

IV: Bargain:

What is it that you want?

“I don't want to die.”

Do you want to live?

“Yes.”

Very well.

“Just like that? What about my family?”

You want to save your family?

“Yes.”

Do you want to save your family and live?

“Yes!”

I cannot bring back the dead.

“What? They're dead?”

Yes.

“No… That can't be.”

Yes, your family is dead. However, I can give you their souls.

“What? What do you mean by that?”

I can save the souls of your wife and daughter. I will give you their souls and you can live on. However, there is a catch.

“Catch?”

Yes.

“Am I going to have to give my soul or something?”

No.

“Then…”

I will tell you if you agree to my offer.

“Fine. Tell me what I need to do.”

Very well. A hand rested over the body. It felt like he was getting electrocuted. Something was taken away from him. He broke down into little pieces.

From there, this endless waltz began.
