*An icy fist twisted her heart with dread as she heard the whistling. Slowly, and barely breathing, she turned around.*

Fate picked up her wine glass. "Oh, I'm sorry for interrupting this beautiful little reunion with my unlady-like habits," she said sarcastically before taking a sip. "Go on, it was rather entertaining what you two were doing."
She smiled wryly at them both.

*Belladonna's eyes flashed as she moved forward, slightly in front of Christian as she glared at Fate.* What do you want?

"Right now? For you to go on doing what you were doing," she said smugly. "It's interesting how... faithful he's being right now. And the fact that you seem to have regressed back to your days at the Moulin, seducing men and what-not, is priceless in itself."
Fate took another sip of her wine and smiled. "She's not dead yet, you know," she said, refering to Sydney.

*Bella's hand unconsciously drifted to her abdomen before she snapped back into the moment.* My affairs are none of your business. Um...sort of. But anyway. What do you really want? I'm sure we're not as...interesting as you say we are.

((No letter yet.))
"Yes, well... that little bundle of joy right there, I'm pretty sure it'll be just that."
"Are you sure Christian, here, is willing to die for a few weeks of happines?"

*Her breath caught in her chest.* Die? *She glanced back at him quickly, then turned to meet Fate's gaze.* Please...I-I'll give give you anything of myself for his life.

Fate pursed her lip thoughtfully. "Anything?" she muttered to herself.
She got up, walked over, sat on a table closer to them and propped her feet up on an adjacent table, revealing just a few inches of her perfect calves through a small slit in her dress.
"Among many major flaws you mortals have, I must say thinking you posess many assets to barter with is one flaw that brings a smile to my lips," she said, letting her words roll off her tongue. She shook her head, "So naive... all of you."

Fate smirked. After a long thoughtful pause...
"Your voice, my dear child," she said simply, "in exchange for a happy, happy life without interferences. For at least a while, that is."
She set down her wine glass and took out a small, decorated cigarette case, put one between her lips and lit it with a quiet snap of her fingers.

(( ;D I'm wayyy too big of a fan of Disney's Little Mermaid, I think.))
*Bella's eyes widened* My...my voice? *Her hand slipped up to her throat. What would she do if she couldn't sing...couldn't even speak?* But it's Christian! I'd give up anything for him. Even if...even if he wants to stay with-with her. *She glanced back at him again, meeting his gaze.* I have to do this. For him. *Taking a deep breath, she looked back at Fate.* Alright.

"I would advise you to read Macbeth, in hopes that you'd learn that deeds done to satisfy one's own lust and agendas always end badly but... you seem like a smart enough girl to have weighed the pros and cons of this decision," Fate said mockingly.
She deeply inhaled the fragrant smoke from her cigarette, causing the other end to glow bright orange. Fate them blew out a focused stream of smoke into Bella's face. That single action robbed her of her voice.
Thick, white, hazy smoked lingered in the air. When it finally cleared, Fate had disappeared along with the list Christian's name was on. A decorated stationary replaced the yellowing scrap of parchment that was in Death's hand's a split second ago. The beautiful, flowing handwriting on the stationary read:
Death list
Christian: TBA
Belladonna: TBA
PS: Do try and lighten up, Death. The fact that your duty requires you to spread death and destruction throughout the universe is no excuse for you to be so uptight and boring. I can refer you to an excellent masseuse if you'd like. Call me soon if you wish to take me up on the offer.
Ciao

*Death read the note and suddenly crushed it in his bony grip.*
I'm uptight? Nothing will make a guy that way like threatening to blink his family out of existance. I really hate her sometimes. Whatever, at least I can get back to work.
*He slunk away into the shadows.*
