The bright light shining into my eyes woke me up. I remembered how my parents died in a ghastly car accident and tears dropped from my eyes. They had beautiful plans for me. Like sending me to one of the best colleges in the country. We were on our way to see a movie when a trailer bus ran into us. They died instantly while I became crippled." Wake up Kraus!.." I heard my grandfather shouting downstairs. " Come and have breakfast!" my grandmother added Both had been taking care of me ever since my parent's death, they were the closest thing to what I was going to call family. I wanted to get out of bed and I fell hard on the floor. [ SIGHED ]I looked at my leg and noticed the laceration on it. I had forgotten I was now a cripple. I took my staff on the wall and walked out of my room. I greeted both of them and washed my face. " You should go out more often." my grandmother said dishing my food. I looked at her and smiled. " Oh! you got a mail this morning." Grandfather said carryi

" Where are you?" I just got a call from the hospital that you left walking already. " Xavier shouted again. I could feel a glint of happiness in his voice. I don't know if I should drag them into what I was going through. I was now a Grim Reaper. I stood still and I could hear my grandparents shouting with joy over the phone. I decided to walk into the house and they hugged me. Xavier sobbed gently on me and Martha my grandmother was stunned. she looked at me and could hardly believe that I was walking. " I can walk now ma," I said with a glint of joy in my eyes. We all hugged and I immediately went into my room. I looked at her phone again and smiled. I had a whooping sum of $3,000,000,000.The bang at the door made me rush out to see who it was. " What do you want?" I asked in a firm voice seeing the men in suits at my house. " What do I want? I had you treated and I was nice to you. what do I get in return? you broke down my window and ran away. how the hell are you even able to

"Do you believe me now?" I looked into Jonas's eyes panting. Jonas looked at me and stepped back. " I am not going to hurt you. you don't need to be scared of me. " I said looking at his face. " Who are those people and why are they trying to have you killed?" Jonas asked with fear still visible in his eyes." I don't know too but I guess it has to do with Grace. Maybe her boyfriend is after my life." I replied looking out for our hiding place " Jeez! What have you gotten yourself into? The more reason you should let go of Grace. Besides, she isn't the right girl for you." " Why?" I asked looking puzzled "Haven't you noticed? She is way out of your league dude." Jonas said sweating. " No, she is not." I fired back " Let's just get out of this alive," Jonas replied We walked out of hiding and didn't see the car anymore. " I think they have gone. " Jonas said with a smile touching his chest. We carefully packed our packages and went back to the dorm forgetting to get the new car I

I got dressed and headed for school. I needed to take my mind off things and behave like a regular student. I lived my life and graduated, but the truth was that I wasn't normal anymore. I was a grim reaper.I walked into the school and looked around. The thought of seeing another fire demon was all I could think about. I needed to find the fire demon that had my parent's soul trapped inside of him. I felt a tap on my shoulder and looked back to see that it was Jonas. I looked at his face, and I noticed he didn't remember anything that happened to him. "You look like you are seeing a ghost. Is there something in my face?" Jonas asked, looking at me. "Are you alright?" I asked again with a smile. "Shouldn't I be?" Jonas replied"I guess it worked then." I replied, walking away from him. "What worked?""I need to catch up with the school curriculum activities. Can you help with that?" " Sure. There will be a night class later today. Would you like to join?" Jonas asked "Of course,

I looked around, and I could see almost all the students staring at the pictures and looking at my face. I think they were trying to compare my face to the Grim Reaper they had seen earlier. The picture was circulating at Prospera's Academy. "Was that you, Max?" one of the students asked, walking closer to me. He showed me the picture he was looking at and looked at my face. "No, that wasn't me." I lied, walking faster towards my dorm. "What is going on with everyone? How can they just believe what they see? That picture was even blurry." I said as I walked faster.I met Zaco and some of his bullies on the route to my dorm, and we changed paths. "Hey buddy," I said. I looked back, and I saw Jonas walking towards me. "Have you seen the pictures going around the school?" he asked, bringing out his phone. "What do you think?" Jonas brightened up his phone and showed me the picture. "I saw that already, and I can't believe everyone thinks I am the one." I looked at Jonas, trying to hear
