It was Saturday morning. I yawned lazily and got out of bed. My head was throbbing hard as I walked into the bathroom to have some water poured over my head. I stared into the glass, and I noticed I wasn't seeing my face. "Ah!." I shouted, falling back to the floor. I stood up gently and looked into the mirror, and it was gone. "What was that?" I asked myself, a little frightened.

I have been having very disturbing dreams recently, and I don't know if they are connected to the fact that I was a Grim Reaper or to my past. I brushed my teeth as I was lost in thought, and my dreams flashed back before me.

The fire demon staring at me sent a cold shiver down my spine. I rushed into bed and had myself covered with dulves. The dream was terrible; I felt life f flee from my body as the fire demon's sinister laugh echoed in my ears. I closed my eyes and had the same dream all over and over again. I heard a loud bang at my door, and my eyes opened wide. I walked to the corner of my room and p

    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?

One thing I knew was that I needed to play my part in bringing balance to both worlds. I needed to defeat Klaus and also rid the university grounds of bullies. The only way to do that was to rid the bag eggs out, but I need to cut the head of the snake for the snake to die permanently. I laid on the bed, rolling up and down. I needed a plan if I was going to defeat Klaus and Zack. Both were born evil and would do anything to win. My mind raced as I thought about what was going to happen to me when I rid the earth of evil again. I don't want to die, and I also wanted to be with my heart.

    "Where do you think he might be off too?" Derek asked, looking at me. "I don't know, but I am pretty sure he would go to a place far from here." I replied Zeoy walked up to me and said, "LLet me see." She said slowly checking out my face. She healed me, and Helena rushed towards my side. "We need to get off the university premises." She said it in haste. We immediately got into the car and zoomed out of the compound. My mind went back to Peter's family, which is my family now. I took out my phone and placed a call to Emma. "Are you alright? What about our parents?" I asked in haste, trying to know if Kluas had gone over to the house. "Slowly down," Emma said over the phone. My pulse quickened as I awaited her answer. "Can you just tell me what I asked from you?" I said quickly. "Well, Boyd here is doing a fine job protecting us. I am sure we are in capable hands," she replied. "I am on my way. I should be back at home any minute now." I replied, and I cut off the call. "We need

    I felt my pulse quicken as I stared at Zack—or rather, at the being that had taken control of him. Kluas had merged with Zack’s body, his glowing eyes revealing the god's overwhelming presence, and the menace in his voice left no doubt. “You don’t have to do this, Zack,” I said, keeping my tone steady, though the tension in the air was palpable. My hand twitched slightly, ready to summon the power of the Reaper’s territory if needed. “Kluas is using you. He doesn’t care about you, he’s just trying to survive. Once he’s done, you’ll be nothing.” Zack laughed, the sound echoing off the empty court in a way that made my skin crawl. “You always were naive, Max. Kluas isn’t using me. We are one now. I’ve always wanted power, and now I have it—limitless, godlike power. Together, we’ll crush anyone who stands in our way.” I stood my ground, my eyes scanning the area for any advantage.I knew that fighting Zack head-on, while he was possessed by Kluas, wasn’t the best plan.

    The tension was high as we drove towards the university grounds. "Do you think anyone is going to be on campus?" Helena asked, looking anxious. "We need to be certain that no one is there. Kluas would need a soul to merge with or go into extinction if he can't." I replied "Why not bond with anyone on the street? Why come down here?" Zeoy asked again. "I am not sure, alright. I don't know how a god is supposed to think." I replied harshly, and everyone was silent. "I am sorry, guys. I am just a bit anxious." "We all are." Derek said increasing the jeer We drove into the university grounds, and everywhere seems peaceful. "Do you think he is here?" Gilbert looked around. "He should be; I can feel him." I replied"This is what we are going to do. I want everyone to fan out and check the dorms. Search everywhere and give a call once you see anything or anyone that looks fishy." I replied I brought out a flash torchlight and gave it to everyone. "Don't engage; Kluas is dangerous, and

    Zeoy felt a kind of power she had never felt before. She slowly removed herself from the iron rod that had impaled her against the wall. Derek also felt more powerful than ever. "What is going on?" Kluas shouted in anger. And then something else happened. A territory appeared on the ground, giving immense power to all the reapers. Peter's eyes glowed, and his cut began to heal. Emma looked up, and out of fright, she ran away from Peter. " How? You were supposed to be dead." Kluas shouted out of fright. He quickly moved fast towards Peter, and he was gripped down by Peter 2. A soft smile played on Peter's lips. "Do you think you can stop us? I am unstoppable, and now you are going to know how powerful I am." I shouted as I and Peter merged, becoming one. "Derek, get everyone out of here." I said, looking at Derek's face. "You heard the boss; let's get out of here." He said, looking at Zeoy. "I am staying." Emma shouted as Derek pulled her up from the dusty floor. "Don't worry, you

    "We need to leave. If Derek is willing to sacrifice his life for us, then we need to take the chance now and get out of here." Zeoy shouted at Boyd Gilbert adjusted his glasses and immediately ran towards Helena. He grabbed her by the waist and made way for the main gate. Emma looked at Zeoy angrily. "This was not the deal. You said you needed me to get my brother to corporate. Now that he doesn't, you want to leave him alone to die?" She yelled out her lungs. "Listen to me, kiddo. Your brother understands the sacrifices he needs to make for himself and the family. Do you think someone forced him to be here? He came willingly on his own because Kluas threatened to kill you all if he didn't." Zeoy looked into Emma's eyes, and she began to sob. "Please save him. Please save my brother." Emma fell on her knees despite the walls crumbling around her. Zeoy looked at her and back at Boyd and Helena. "Your brother is..." Emma raised her head slightly up, looking into her face.

    Derek looked back at the Whitmores as they stood frozen in the aftermath of the fight. The tension in the room was thick, the air heavy with unsaid fears and a sense of impending doom. Derek's eyes darted to Emma, her determination shining through her fear. She was a brave soul, much like her brother, and Derek couldn't help but respect her opinion, even if he felt unsure about having her along."Emma, stick close," Derek instructed, his voice low but firm as they exited the mansion. The team moved swiftly, blending into the night as they walked the darkened streets. Zeoy took the lead, her eyes scanning for any sign of Klaus or Peter, her senses heightened by the adrenaline coursing through her veins.Boyd kept his gaze forward, his mind racing with thoughts of what Klaus might do now that he had Peter in his clutches. He knew the others could sense his worry, but there was no time for reassurances. They were all too aware of what was at stake.***************************************

    " Hello!" Zeoy shouted over the phone. Peter 2 without being told knows where to find Kluas. He beat off a young man off his powerbike and drove at a fast speed into the night. Meanwhile, Zeoy started to track Derek's phone, and it wasn't long before she found them all lying down, beating to a pulp. Zeoy noticed some minor injuries and immediately treated their wounds. Each of them got up, looking at her face. "He snapped and had us knocked out. Did you get him?" Gilbert asked "I am sorry, but when I got here, he was gone." Zeoy replied, watching Derek. "I told him I was going to protect her. I failed." Derek said with regret in his voice. "Now is not the time to sulk, Derek. We don't know what will happen to Peter. Do you know what happens when Klaus gets his power back? We lost this fight, and we became another pawn in his plan." Zeoy said with haste. "We need to admit it, Zoey. We are lost, and I don't think we can find him. I think our fate lies in the hands of a boy who doesn

    I was about to launch an attack at Kluas when Emma's phone rang again. Kluas had a sinister smile on his face as Zeoy and I looked at him. "Why don't you get that? It sounds pretty urgent." He said it with a smile on his face. "Do you think I care about them? Sending you back to where you belong will actually be saving a lot of lives." I replied as my face showed the mirror power within me. I can only pray that Derek and the rest of the reaper help in finding Helena on time. "You are going to give me what I want one way or the other, Max; there is no fighting it." Kluas smiled My phone rang again, and this time it was Peter's mother. "Don't come home, son; stay where you are." Selena said with a scared tone. I could hear the sound of crashing underneath. "What is going on, mother?" I shouted "Don't come home! They are trying to break in. Just stay where you are!" She shouted yet again. I looked at Kluas, and my eyes blazed with fury. I noticed my body twitched as Peter was trying
