The Grim Reapers Son

Chapter One: My Stupid Hertige

"Xavier!"

My father boomed from downstairs, it was Sunday morning. I rubbed the crust from my eyes, I sat up in my bed and looked at my four dark blue walls of my bedroom.

I swung my legs over the side of my bed and stood up. I started to stretch and my bones cracked and resettled in their proper positions which always felt good after a nice long sleep.

I walked over to my bathroom and brushed my teeth and washed my face and ran my fingers through my black tousled hair.

"Xavier! I am not calling you again, you're mother and I have something we need to discuss right now!"

I trudged out of the bathroom and out the door of my bedroom. I took the stairs two at a time until I reached the main floor. I walked down our long hallway that led to our living room, or as I call it our meeting room because we've been having alot of these "family meetings" lately due to the fact that I was starting high school tomorrow.

"Yeah yeah I'm here, what is it?" I muttered

My father looked at me sternly, while my mother looked at me with sympathy knowing what I was about to go through would be absolutely hell.

I always loved my mother she was also so understanding, unlike that other asshole. He was cold hearted to everyone especially to his only child, he says it's because of what he is, but I believe that's complete bullshit.

He says I'll be just like him when I take over, but I won't. I refuse to be like that even if that's how I'm suppose to act because of my stupid heritage. I will not be a bloody asshole!

"Xavier you will not speak to me like that. I expect you to treat me with respect. Do you understand?"

He was waiting for me to reply, I just stared at him. With a bored expression on my face.

"Xavier I am speaking to you!"

My mother looked at my father and touched his arm, I saw that he began to relax a little although he was a bitch to everyone else in the world. He loved my mother to death.

"Grim, please calm down, you have to understand what he is about to go through will be terrible. Remember how you felt before you found me" she spoke softly.

My father rubbed his temples in an attempt to calm himself, he glared at me then took a deep breath and he started again.

"Xavier we need to talk about you starting high school, you know what it's like when you are a Reaper.. You may not be a full one yet, but there will still be consequences to your actions."

"I don't understand why I have to go to school in general, if I'm going to be a pain in the ass.." I muttered

"Xavier just because of what you are, you can't hide away from the world! If you do you will never find true happiness! Why can't you stop being an ignorant little child, and grow the hell up!?"

He was so angry I could tell because he was really red in the face, and he was clenching and un-clenching his fists.

"Maybe I don't want to be happy why should I? When I'm the person who decides who lives and who dies? That type of responsibility is too much for me to ever be happy! I don't even know the persons situation yet, and why they did what they did yet I might have to kill them! Unlike you I have feelings you asshole! And to put on top of that if I fall in love with a girl and fate doesn't think she's the right one she's dies! Who wants to always feel like the bad guy no matter what not me, but I have to why because of fucken you!" I screamed

I was so angry I couldn't even explain it, I quickly turned around and started to head back down the hall and towards the front door. I could hear my father calling my name and mother crying silently.. But I kept walking I didn't want to be in this house any longer I open the front door and went outside. I looked up to the sky and asked

"Why do I have to be the Grim Reapers son?"
