I heard Aurora's voice inside my head telling me to run or wait for Derek and his minions, but I was too angry to wait. I immediately brought out the territory and raced towards the demon. It charged towards me, and we cashed, sending waves around the building. The walls cracked as we fought tirelessly. He was stronger than me. I felt his kick and punches to my face severely. He looked at me and laughed. "I remember your face. Aren't you the little child that had his parents killed?" He said it with a smirk. "Had my parents been killed? What are you talking about?" I looked at him again and wondered what the demon was blabbering about. I charged at him again, but he gave me an uppercut, sending me back to the floor. I hit my head against a stone and. lost consciousness. The loud thud beside me woke me up, and I saw Derek beside me. "What part of the wait don't you get? I have told you several times to always wait for the team. You can't take on most of the demons alone," he said, and
We both laughed as we entered the popular KFC restaurant. Brian looked at me continuously and asked, "What?" I asked, looking at his face. "You know you can speak if you are trying to tell me something, right?" I looked at him as I made my way towards the front of the table. Brian walked closer and whispered into my ears. I smiled and looked at him. "All the more reason we need to sit down and order our food," I replied, placing an order for our lunch. We went back to the table and sat down. I caught Flora looking at me, and I laughed. "I am not going to order the whole restaurant, darling." I said it with a smile, and everyone looked at me. " What? Isn't that the guy who ordered the whole boutique the last time we went shopping?" A lady spoke silently into the ears of her boyfriend, and I laughed. They both looked at me and wondered who I was. I could see the fear setting in Zack's eyes. They both stood up immediately and walked out of the restaurant, like I was asking them to le
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.
