Violet looked out of the window and looked back at Grace. "Don't tell me Max owns that car. Do you even know how much that is worth?" She looked at Grace. "I don't, you tell me." Grace teased her about getting dressed. I and Jonas stepped out of the car, and all eyes were on us. We were not only putting on the same clothes, but we also had the same hair. Many thought we were twins as we walked hand in hand. Most of the ladies took out their phones and began to take pictures. I smiled, getting a little bit carried away by the attention given to us. I looked up and saw Grace smile at me. "There she is," Jonas said, looking at me. "Can you be yourself, dude? You are blushing," he said with a smirk."Can you just let me have this moment?" I said it with a smile on my face. I watched as Grace descended the stairs, running towards me, and was stopped halfway by Stephan. "What the hell?" I furrowed my brows, walking towards them. I looked both ways and saw Zaco and Darius looking at me. I
Derek looked at me. "Are you sure?" he asked with a curious facial expression. "I am sure," I replied, looking at him. We both looked back and saw that it was Stephan. His voice distorted as his eyes changed color. "This isn't like the fire demon? What is he?" I looked at Derek, demanding an answer. I wasn't sure if I was fighting demons anymore. Some of them look so bizarre that I wonder what they are. My mind went back to the capsule my parents had made, and I wondered what it was about. "Can you focus, Max? We need to have that spirit sent out, and we are going to have to take on it both." I looked back and still saw Zoey healing Jonas. "Gilbert, make sure to wipe away the memories of everyone present here. including her." Derek said, pointing at Grace, who shook visibly in front of Stephan. We changed our form immediately into the grim reapers that we are and charged after Stephan. He was too fast for us. The more we ran after him, the more he increased his speed. " Stop!." I s
As the energy surged through me, I felt a strange transformation overtake my body. It was as if every cell was vibrating with newfound power, and I could sense a connection to something ancient and primal. I groan, feeling my body transform into something different. "What is happening to me?" I shouted in pain."I don't know, but whatever it is that is happening to you, you need to fight it," Aurora replied, her voice showing she was worried.The atmosphere was tense as I landed on the floor without moving. "Is he dead?" one of the demons asked, walking closer to me. I opened my eyes suddenly and felt a surge of energy run through my body. Without wasting time, he slammed her to the floor and had the demon subdued and sent back to the abyss. Stephan's laughter echoed through the building as he witnessed my transformation. "Well, well, it seems we have a little surprise here. That was unexpected.," he jeered, his eyes glinting with curiosity and malice. Derek, still struggling to sta
Aurora immediately came out of my body, and I felt weak once more. Derek and the rest looked at me. "What happened?" I asked, not remembering what was happening with my body. "You went berserk and tried murdering us; that is what happened," Zoey replied."I think you need to be a regular kid for a while. You are not fully in control of your powers, and until we decide what to do, you are going to have to do without your powers." Wait? what!. Does Aurora consent to this?" I looked at Gilbert, who was sweating. "I don't know, kiddo; you need to see what you put us through just now. I think it is best if you don't work with us for some time." The reapers disappeared before I could say another word. " Aurora? Aurora! Aurora!!. " I yelled in pain. I needed to avenge my parents's deaths, and the only way I could do that was by using my powers. I looked at my leg, and I was back to being crippled once again. I tried to stand, but I couldn't. Tears welled up my face, and I wondered what was
I opened my eyes wide and wondered what was happening. I saw my leg healing up. "Did the reapers have a change of mind? Aurora, are you doing this?" I asked, trying to connect with her, but no reply came. I stood up gently on my leg and walked about the room. Wow! I was fine. The thought of racing down to school crossed my mind, but I knew I had to be careful. It was what Derek had always told me. I don't know how I got healed. I took my phone and wanted to call Derek and his friends, but the thought of going back to being a cripple scared me. I decided to call Jonas. The phone rang several times before he picked it up. I looked at his bruised face and saw that Darius and Zaco had not been making empty threats. "Are you alright?" I asked, looking into the camera before me. Jonas managed to reply because his cheek was more like a round ball because of the constant beating he had taken from Darius. "I am sorry I brought you into all of this. I should never have." I said it pitifully.
I walked closer to him and I whispered some words into Darius' ears. He looked at me and laughed out loud. Many of the students wondered what I had told them. " You? A grim reaper?" he said pointing his hands at me. Zack looked at me and saw I was limping again. " Really? Are you now faking it?" he walked closer to me and kicked away my staff.I crashed on the floor pretending to be crippled. I looked around and saw the students were beginning to gather. Just exactly what I wanted. " If you are a grim reaper I am the devil," Darius said with a smirk I looked around and I saw Grace walking side by side with Stephan. I knew I needed to make an impression. I wasn't just anybody to be toyed with and also showed Stephan I was going to get Grace back. I stood up to my feet and Jonas looked at me surprised. I was sure he also thought I was crippled since he got his brain wiped. " So I guess you really can walk." Zaco smiled He came at me and I landed him a super kick. He held his nose a
" What? How come I am able to see the fire demon?" I was lost in my own thoughts. The man smiled and walked up to me, and for some reason I find his face familiar. "I heard my son do this to you," he said with a sorry look on his face. For a moment, I felt lost. It wasn't only Zaco or Darius who had my leg broken. My mind went back to Stephan, and my brain replayed how he had snapped Jonas's neck. My eyes etched me, and I felt my throat a little sour. Tears flooded my face as I remembered I wouldn't be seeing my friend again. Jonas is gone. I remember seeing the blue life leave his body, but I was so emotional that I don't know where it went since I don't have the power of a grim reaper anymore. I wondered how I was able to see the demon in front of me. I looked beside the man smiling at me, and I saw Zaco. "What do you want here?" I shouted in anger. The nurses looked at me and asked me to calm down, asking Zaco to leave the room. "Do I know you?" Zaco's father asked, "For some re
"Your parents had a substance kept inside of you. something that gives you immense power when you need it. Have you ever wondered why you are strong all of a sudden and why you get weak after feeling that power?" My other self looked at me in the mirror. Now I understand why I was able to heal and walk. "How do you know all of this?" I asked back. "The moment I was in your body, we became one. I could feel your pain, and it is only natural that you feel mine." "What do I call you?" I asked, still fixing my gaze on the mirror before me. "Whatever you would like me to be," he replied. "Can I call you a mirror?" I askedMirror nodded. "I need to find out more about my parents and why they were killed. For some reason, I think I know who did it." I looked in the mirror. "Yes, in body and flesh, you might know who did it, but the spirit in charge of the body is something you should be worried about. We are not strong enough to take on it alone." Mirror replied " Why? You just told me I
