Brook X GN Reader || I'm The Grim Reaper

Chapter 62

I didn't skip a chapter! The last chapter was just when Liam went to Ana's apartment and found her body and stuff.

"And so me, Scarlet, and Deer would have to train every couple of days until she gets control of her demon." Brook was saying as you all walked. "We all know that Archangel is after her now. We've got no time to lose. So, to propose a plan, we can spend 6 hours traveling, 6 hours getting a winner, 6 hours training, and one hour for me to update my blog."

You nodded, bringing a hand to rake through your hair. "So that would leave us with five free hours, which, I suppose, is a decent amount of leeway time for any emergencies that show up."

"No," Chase spoke up firmly. Brook looked at him. "Eh? What's wrong with my idea?" You all stopped walking, and Chase looked at all of you with exhausted, wide eyes. "I. Need to eat and sleep." He insisted.

Brook glanced at you, then at Chase. Dead panned. "Well, that sucks." "Yes, it sucks very much Brook. I haven't slept in two days because of all this shit."

"I hate when that happens," You chimed in. "I thought you didn't need to sleep?" "Doesn't mean I don't like to," Chase shrugged. "If you were so tired, why didn't you sleep while we were walking." "I have no idea if you're being a smartass, or if you've really been dead so long that you've forgotten how sleep works." "I think you're making excuses," Brook smirked. "Wha- excuses?! I have to eat and sleep or I'll die!" You turned to look at Scarlet as you watched the two bicker.

Her phone started ringing, and she seemed shocked as she reached into her pocket for the phone. The screen read 'UNKNOWN CALLER' as you looked over her shoulder.

She answered it, putting it to her ear as you leaned over her shoulder to listen. "Hello?" "Scarlet." Her eye's widened for a second and she glanced at you, back to the phone. "...Liam? How did you... I mean, uh, why are you calling me from an unknown number?" "Because you blocked my number." "I..." Scarlet trailed off, looking at you again. You frowned.

"No, I didn't-" "I know you're a Reaper. And I know you killed Ana. I found her body. Come to the alley between 23rd and Maple Street. Bring the detective. Just you and him. It's the least you could do for me... After you killed the person I loved..." He hung up, and Scarlet looked at her phone. Brook and Chase were looking at you both, too.

"That was you?" You gasped. "What?" "You're the one who killed Ana? I was planning to, but I stopped by and found her body in the freezer..." You trailed off. "I wonder what she did." "She killed her son," Chase concluded, raising an eyebrow. You nodded.

Scarlet motioned for Chase to follow her as they headed away, her explaining what happened as they walked to the directions Liam gave her. You stuffed your hands into your pocket. Pursing your lips, you looked around the empty lot, and Scarlet and Chase's retreating figures walked with large strides.

"So..." You started. "So...?" "Wanna go to the pet store?" He raised an eyebrow at you. "Why would we do that?" You shrugged. "To look at animals, duh? I wonder if they have rabbits," You turned, looking into town.

"You always had a thing for rabbits, didn't you?"
