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. Kluas, a god
"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
The Final Battle****************The gods and the goddess have been keeping silent over the fight with Kluas. The fate of both worlds hanged in balance without the future uncertain. 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. I knew Helena would be devastated if I died once again.I need to draw Klaus out. He was weak, and he is going to need time to heal himself. The best way to show him to the world was to bring him out in the open. Bringing
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
I opened my eyes as I saw my grandparents beside me. I looked at their faces and I noticed something was wrong. " what is it?" I said gently looking at their faces. " Nothing Max," Xavier said gently holding my two hands. "Nothing? and why do I feel numb? I can't move my body." I said biting my lower lips. " Am I paralyzed?" I asked with disbelief in my voice.I looked at my grandmother who was sobbing already. She walked outside to get the doctor. " I can't be. I can't be paralyzed." I said trying to lift myself from the bed but I couldn't. " Stay still, Max. everything will be okay." Xavier's voice trying to calm me down. " Everything will be okay? Those miscreants have me crippled and you are telling me, everything will be fine?" I said in annoyance. I began to make noise and the doctors rushed inside and had me injected. I felt drowsy and I slept off. I woke up and I looked at the white ceiling right in front of me. The thought of me not being able to move my body flushed back
" 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
I woke up and I saw Jonas staring at my face. " Are you alright? You have a lot of explanations to do. how do you manage to stay alive? No one has ever survived the fall as you did. Talk to me." Jonas stared at my face demanding an explanation " The doctors said I was just lucky to survive," I replied holding my head " That is all? don't give me that crap. You had better start talking or do you have any other friends aside from me? Jonas asked " If I told you, would you believe me?" I asked, collecting the ice pack from Jonas's hand." Try me," he replied and listened.Jonas smiled and looked at me after hearing my explanation. " You, a grim reaper. Wow! that is so hilarious. you even can see demons. Are you for real?" Jonas asked laughing out loud as water tore out of his eyes. I looked at him and grinned " I told you, I knew you weren't going to believe me. by the way, who made me unconscious?" I asked looking at Jonas. " Stephan," he replied and looked at me" Stephan? Is the n
"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
