The Joker on my shoulder [#1]

chapter 1

The cliff was close, my feet were mere inches.

Then I fell.

As I dropped to my death, feeling as though I was falling for what felt like eternity, I was pulled out of mid-air. I was slammed into the bottom of a cold dark surface, sand imploded around me. looking above, I could see what was a reflection. To my right, thick seaweed.

I think I am on the ocean floor.

I looked to my left, a lonely clam shell was sitting there, I grabbed it and pried it open.

A beautiful black purl was bedded upon the mouth of the clam. I went to grab it but the clam shell slammed shut, nearly down on my fingers. The purl rolled off onto the sandy floor, breaking when hitting the soft ground.

Then I woke up.

I woke up to find there was a shadow. it was cast along my bed, thinking it was a shadow coming from outside I thought nothing of it until it spoke.
"Why, hello there,"
It spoke to me in a scratchy dark voice...

"you are probably wondering what I am and what I am doing in your bedroom."

I slowly nodded.

"Fist of all, I am Grim. But I am well known for the name Grim Reaper." A chill slid down my back as it, or should I say The Grim Reaper talks.

"Second of all I am here to take your soul, I've been waiting a long time for it."

I am pretty sure I was trembling in my bed, clutching my sheets praying this was another screwed up reality of a dream my brain had made. as my brain was dumbfounded to what I was witnessing, Grim had crept up on my bed.

He lifted up his hand swiftly. Placing it against the left side of my chest, their icy touch left the warmth of my body to a nothingness.

As it started to go darker and darker,

I woke up.

The bright light crept through the shades of my bedroom windows.

I wonder why I had that strange dream? That was my first dream in months, it could've at least been a better dream. I guess I better get ready for the day. I got out of my bed and slowly walked on the cold hardwood floor over the bathroom. The cold floor reminded me of Grimm's ice cold touch.

I oppenend the door to the bathroom,thats weird the tap is running. I shut the tap off. "Hmm, I must have left it on before I went to bed." While I was washing my hair I heard the TV turn on playing the spongeBob song.

I don't remember watching TV last night...

I tiptoed toward the living room.

Somebody was sitting on my couch, back to me. What do I do?!

"Umm, excuse me Mr." Then he turned around.
Grimm.
Mr.Grimm Reaper

"Ooh, I like the ring of that." He spoke.

Wait he can read my mind?
Of course I can read your mind, what kind of soul sucker wouldn't I be if I didn't?

Wait that isn't my conscience speaking.
No cause its mine. remember, Grimm, Grimm reaper.

"But you were in my dream. This isn't real, OK I should be waking up right now!" I started pinching myself to wake up.

"Sage, that's not going to work."

"And why not, Mr.Grimm?"

"Because your not dreaming."

Because your not dreaming, that kept repeating in my mind, over and over again.
Will you stop repeating that! Its getting annoying!

Wait why are you still in my mind?
I have to stay in your mind till your soul is mine.

"Wait, what!"

"Shhh, you'll wake your parents."

He put his long boney finger up to my lips.

"You'll regret it if you tell them about me, sage."

I gave him a questioning look.  "I'll see you at school sage."

Then he dissapeared.
I didn't dissapear fully, sage. A part of me is still in your head.
2hours later...

I walked to school cause my parents slept in because they have night jobs, so I rarely see them.

My school is only 20 minutes away so its a quick walk. And school starts at 8:00.

I wonder what Grimm meant by, I'll see you at school, sage. Like would he be hiding or something?
Or something...

"Grimm will you get out of my mind now!?"
I don't know? Will you give me your soul now?

I looked around me, luckily no body walked on the same path as me. They would think I am crazy!
Well maybe you are and you just don't know it.

God! When will you leave me alone!
God won't help you when I am around, and remember my plan. You give me your soul and I leave. Simple as that.
20minutes later...

I am finally at school!

As I walked to my seat at the back of the class, my teacher walked in, Mrs. Luke. She was followed by a new student.

"Good morning class,"

The class responded back, "good morning Mrs. Luke."

Everyone sounded a bit tired, maybe because it was monday morning.

"We have a new student today"

Everybody was trying to look behind to see who the student was.

"His name is Taylor greene."

He walked over to Mrs. Luke's side so everyone could get a better look at him.

He had dark black hair, and piercing blue eyes. He was around "5.6.

Mrs. Luke sent him to the empty seat beside mine.

As he was sitting down Mrs. Luke started the lesson.

"Hi, I'm Taylor." He said in a whisper so Mrs. L wouldn't hear.

"Hi, I'm Sage." I whispered back.

After that we just faced forward to watch the lesson.
