Melissa continued to stare into the eye of this woman awaiting her answer until she had turned aside and away from her. Melissa only grew slightly more confused as to why this action had been made, could it be that perhaps there was something serious going on around here? She wasn't sure what to become of this new situation. But before panic grew in her, the robed woman once again spoke after a silence that felt like it lasted forever. 

A light sigh of relief made it's way out of Melissa's lips as she heard the robed woman say that they guide the dead to another life. She was sure that that was a good thing and that they were brought to a better place. A thought occurred to her as she thought about this, did this mean that heaven and hell existed? If these places did exist, what is this task that she has to do?, it just didn't seem to make sense to her at all.

She took another look at her surroundings; the room was completely white and although the person before her was dressed in complete black, she didn't seem to be a dark evil being. She took slight comfort in her current circumstance as she didn't feel like she would be in much danger in this woman's hands. 

Melissa's feeling of safety was quickly altered as the robed woman changed her tone at the mention of them being reapers more so than angels. She felt her heart stop momentarily as she tried to understand what she meant. [i]"...kill many more Souls than we can ever hope to guide..."[/i], are they trying to help them? She couldn't see a reason why they couldn't "guide" certain souls to another life. 
She looked around at the ground trying to search for her answer herself, but she couldn't quite grasp it. Her mind wasn't in the right place; still jumbled up from everything that's happened so far she decides to just leave her questions to be answered later.

She shook her head and looked back up to the robed woman and figured that what was to happen next was her fate and that she had to accept it any way it came to her. 

The pair that was far off on the other side of the room had caught up to their current location and was now standing before them. The robed woman seemed to make a disgusted look to the man she had been scolding earlier; Melissa could tell from the start that she didn't really enjoy this man's presence as he seemed to laze around on the job. 
But she quickly turned her attention to the younger man beside him and tried to act more kindly to him. Melissa stared at the young man, looking him up and down as she analyzed him. She knew from the question that the robed woman had asked him that he was someone like her; someone who had just died and had been brought back. The young man answered the robed woman and even mentioned his name, [i]"Jessie"[/i]. She thought for a moment, tuning herself out of their conversation, she hadn't asked this woman for her name, yet she already knows the names of the men before her who she had just recently just "met".
She tuned back into the conversation as Corwin had answered the robed woman's question from before. He seemed to act strangely in front of her but she didn't blame him since she looked a little intimidating.

After a short moment of doing nothing, Melissa stepped forward beside the robed woman, looked at the two men in front of her and took this opportunity to introduce herself.
She tried to smile to the men, seeming a bit forced but enough to make her look like she was trying to be genuine as she said, "Uh, I'm Melissa... It's really nice to meet you." She looked at Corwin and slightly nodded with a small smile and said, "..and you again."
She slowly turned to the woman beside her and decided to take this chance to ask her one last question, her smile now gone and replaced with and apologetic expression, "I didn't get your name.. what was it?"
