A Reaper Made Read Online Free PDF

twenty or thirty years into their new lives.”  
    “Whoever is doing this is threatening human lives,” I said. “That’s why they’re taking Made Reapers. They don’t need magic. They’re getting who knows how many souls by threatening a Made Reaper’s living family!”
    If I’d still been alive, nausea would’ve hit me. I squeezed my eyes shut as their images flashed in my head. My little sister would be twenty now, in her junior year of college; my twin brothers turned sixteen last month.  
    “Tully, they’re going to come after me,” I said. Tessa flinched at my words.  
    Shock registered on Tully’s freckled face. “You don’t know that, child.”
    “I’m one of the newer Mades. I have living family. I’m a perfect target.”
    A peculiar look appeared on his face. “You might be right.”
    “Why do you say that?”
    “Roslyn was a Reaper close to the area of your lifetime.”
    I blinked at him in confusion, quickly translated what he meant. The area of my lifetime…he meant my hometown. A Reaper had been taken near my town right under our world’s supernatural noses and no one had put it together.  
    Tessa raised a hand in question. “How would demons know about you, though? About your personal history and families?”
    “Good question,” Tully asked, his tone dark.  
    It didn’t matter how demons would find me; the only thing I could think about was my family. I couldn’t bear to see a demon kill my family and take their souls. They’d already had enough to deal with when I died. Panic hit me and my hands came up as I spoke frantically.  
    “I have to go back, they need my protection!”
    “No, that is not possible,” Tully said in a stern voice. “That would be playing right into the enemy’s hands.”
    “But they could be in danger, too.” My hands waved around as I spoke. “You can come with me. You know, to keep me in line or whatever.”
    He shot me a disapproving look. “I cannot possibly aid and abet your breaking protocol to see a living relative.”
    “Whoever is doing this, we can’t sit back and let it happen. What happens when they run out of ones like me and chase after older guys like you?”
    “I have nothing to fear.”
    “Well I do, which is why we need to get to them right away,” I insisted. “My sister, my brothers and parents, they can’t die because of me. Please don’t make me responsible for that. I couldn’t bear a lifetime of it.”
    Tully blinked hard and I knew he saw my side of things. I attacked the final argument.  
    “I know they are going to die Tully, but if they die at the hands of this enemy, who knows what happens to their souls? What if they’re doomed to the wrong fate? I don’t want to be the reason they died, especially because of something they have no part of in my afterlife.”
    He was mentally flipping through his list of excuses. “The other Reaper in the area might not like our sudden and very unorthodox visit.”
    “If that’s Roslyn, she’s already been taken. If it’s another Reaper, they could also be in danger,” I said. “That’ll be our cover so they don’t know why I’m really there. We can ask for their help, maybe find a lead on who’s doing this.”
    “I’m more curious about the why,” Tessa butted in.
    “We could save them. Maybe we could even stop this demon.” I almost didn’t want to picture it, the idea of being a hero and maybe being accepted into our world as a True Reaper instead of some copycat wannabe.  
    “Child, the laws…”
    “My family is in danger. I’m in danger. Please, let me do whatever I can to keep their souls intact.”  
    I could see the pain in Tully’s eyes as he heard my anguish. He wanted to help me, I knew he did. We’d both be breaking a lot of rules if we did it our way, though.  
    Finally, after what seemed like a lifetime of silence, Tully exhaled a quick, sharp puff of air and nodded. His shiny blue eyes never left mine as he spoke.
    “If we do
