“I think we should invite them all over very soon and do some damage control, but maybe not Sheriff Tucker just yet, because that would mean we would also have to involve Pauline.”
“Heck, invite them too. Might as well involve them now, rather than worry about it later. Addy can’t keep secrets from her brother, he’ll know soon enough,” Krista told him. “Merry Christmas, town residents, you have a Deathtaker in your midst.”
“Two of them,” Sam pointed out.
“Not for long, she’ll have to leave when she wakes up. I’m sure she’ll want to find some new dying rich person to charge for her services.”
“This town is fiercely protective of its people, and you have managed to become one in just a few months. They’ll protect your secret.” Sam kissed her forehead. “They’ll protect you.” He kissed her cheek. “We’ll raise our daughter here.” He kissed her lips. “And we will protect her.”
“I love you, Samuel George Webber.”
“I love you, Kristanta Jessmina Vita.”
THE END...
for now.

Here’s a peek at – The Deathtaker’s Daughter
Recording No.1
My name is Eva Webber Vita, but people also call me Evie. I live in Cedar Creek, in a great big house, with my momma, Kristanta Jessmina Vita, my daddy, Samuel George Webber, and my Great-Great Uncle Abe. Uncle Abe says Cedar Creek is the best town in the world. I’ve only lived here, nowhere else, so I don’t know if it’s the best or not. The creek runs right through our property, so Dad and I get to go fishing all we want. I think that makes it a pretty great place to live. Maybe it is the best… like Uncle Abe says.
I’m seven years old, almost eight, and I’m gonna start Third Grade real soon. I get to meet my teacher next week; she’s new to Cedar Creek. It’s pretty exciting. My best friend is Trixie, she’s exactly one week younger than me. Her older brother is Trey. He’s gonna be in Sixth Grade this year. He may be older than me, but he is my best boy friend, but not boyfriend – yuck! I think I’m his best girl friend. He’s probably the nicest boy there is. We always play together when their sister Tianna watches all of us. Tianna’s real nice too.
Umm… What else? I don’t have grandparents. Momma and Daddy said they’ve all passed away. Well not all because my mom does have a mom. Her name is Chai. I’m not supposed to call her Grandma, she gets mad if I try. Her whole face scrunches up like she just smelled something really bad. But she’s kind of a grandma… I suppose. I only see her once a year, on Christmas Eve. She always say’s it’s Daddy’s birthday, but it’s not. Chai says it’s when Daddy was reborn, so it’s his re-birthday. Momma said Daddy’s real birthday is in March, hers is in January, and mine is in next week… August. I don’t know when Chai’s birthday is, she won’t say.
Momma and me go meet Chai at Addy’s motel on Christmas Eve, and she gives me a present. Momma gives her an envelope. I guess it has a Christmas Card in it or something. She never comes to our house. Uncle Abe says he will always be thankful for what Chai did, but that she can’t ever come to our house. Nobody tells me why.
So… umm… anyway, this is my first tape recording. Uncle Abe gave me a box with a machine and a whole bunch of cassettes… that’s what he called them. They’re pretty old looking. He showed me how to use everything. He said that it might be fun for me to record my voice, and say all the stuff that I think about. I guess I will… even if I think my voice sounds funny when I rewind the tape and play it back.
Well… that’s all for now. I guess.
