Death The Kid

Prologue

   Usually stories always end with an happy ending. This is not one of those stories. This is my story. This is the story of Alexander Grim.
    Once I was born I never knew who my real parents were. I've been going to orphanage to orphanage ever since then because I was a trouble child. I would get in a whole heap of trouble once I was young. Fighting, arguing, cutting, smoking, and way more. Now my old orphanage, The Orphanage of The Saints, has sent me away to my final place. They said and I quote "If you screw this one up we will have no choice but to send you to boot camp." Well now of course I don't want that since this new place would be the sixth orphanage I go too. (Sigh) This really sucks and this car ride with this stinking ass old grandma listening to country music is gonna be the end of me.
    Finally, after four hours of smelling this hag and listening to crappy ass music I'm finally here. The car pulls over and sister old stuff and I step out to unpack my luggage. The sister real name is Linda, but who cares she like over eighty years old. I look at the new building and it looks like a gothic church. Now this this I can dig and not only is the place awesome, but so is the name, The Orphanage of the Mentally Deceased, I think my life here would just be fine. How wrong was I?
    After unpacking all of my luggage with little help from the old hag. We finally get to the door. Linda knocks on the door and both wait for an answer. The door opens and a nun maybe her mid-twentys pop her head out. "Hello? Who's there?" Linda speaks "Hello sister I have a trouble orphan here that needs your guidance and wisdom." The nun in the door smiles at the both of us. "Oh! Sister Linda. How heavenly sorry I am. I completely forgotten we were getting another visitor. I'm Sister Rachell. Come in. Come in." Linda and I walked in and it was everything. A seventeen year old who is emo could dream of.
                          Chapter 1
    Everything in the building was black and red. Rachell goes by me and says "I'm sorry but I'm going to be needing your name, birth date, and your clothing." As she take A a clipboard and pen and begins to write down. "My name is Alexander Grim. I was born on June, 6 of 2006 and why my clothing? Are you hitting on me?" She drops her pen and start blushing and says "No young man. It is protocol for us to give you the clothing that you will need to go to school." I look at dumbfounded. "School? What school sister? Sister Linda didn't mention anything about school." "Oh! I'm sorry Alex I guess I let that out of the info." Sister Linda says as laughing histarically and leaves the building. Fucking old hag. Sister Rachell picks up one of my luggage and looks at me with a smile. "Well why don't I show you to your room." From there I follow Sister Rachell to the dorm with my things.
    We both walked up the steps. I was kinda bewilder on why I haven't heard any of the other kids. I asked her "Where are the kids?" Still walking and not paying attention to me she simply said "They are still sleeping." After ten minutes of vigorous walking ahe found my dorm number. "Here it is. Dorm number 666." She goes into her pocket and grabs one out of a thousands of keys and gives it to me. "This is your key." She tells me handing the key over to me. "You are fully responsible for this key. It will and only will open this door. So don't try opening one of the girls dorm door." I had a sudden smirk on my face and said my thanks and goodbye to her as she left. I walked to the door and open it with the key I got. "Oh and one more thing." I look back at her through the door edge. "You are the only one without a roommate and your new clothes are on the bed there and the rules are in that book on the desk." I nodded my head in agreement and wave her off as I closed and locked the door behind. I walked over to the bed in the far right corner, sat down on it, grab the rule book, and started to read it.
    After literally an hour and half of reading the stupid rule book (in which I was nearly not even finished) I gave up and started to unpack my things. The church bell ring. I noticed my door was open which was odd so I got up and close my door because I didn't want any distractions. I sat back down on my bed and closed my eyes trying to relax, but of course that wasn't going to happen now was it. A sudden knock on my door. I growled underneath my breath and open the door. "What do you want..." "Hi! My name is Alexandria Lucifer and I will be your tour guide." A girl with unnatural fire red hair and auburn eyes stand in my doorway. "Hello my name is Alexander Grim. I'm kinda new here, but I would totally be happy under your care." She smiles and says "Well first thing first you need to change your clothing." I look back at the bed with my uniform on the edge of the bed. "Oh yeah I almost forgotten about that. Can you give me a minute?" She nods her head in approval. "Sure thing, but don't take long or we will be late." I closed the door and changed my clothes as fast as I could, but of course the "dress" code that they wanted me to wear was that of a tuxedo and you guess it I don't know how to tie a tie. (Sigh) I'm such a bum. I walked out the door with my red and black tuxedo still trying to tie my tie (not trying to look completely helpless in front of her) and Alexandria just laughs and reaches for my neck. "Silly boy. Didn't your father teach you how to tie a tie?" I put my head down at the mention of the "F" word and didn't reply to her comment. She looks at me with hurt eyes. "Oh! I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that." I look up at her feeling down, but I said "Nah! Its chill and thanks for doing my tie now how about that tour?" I put my arms to my side and bow my head. Something like you will see in a kids movie. Where the prince would bow respectively to the king or queen. "After you my lady." I said. She kneels down like a queen or princess would and walks away letting me follow her close from behind.
    I follow her for almost an hour and the tour still isn't done. She keeps on saying oh I gotta show you this or oh I'm sorry but I don't know where this place is. Man her clumsiness is annoying, but It's kinda cute the way she act. We came up a three way hallway and stopped in the middle. "Aww man. I don't know which way is the gym." she said with a pouty face. Also cute as fuck. I looked over her head because she was shorter then me and saw signs pointing in every direction. "Hey there some signs over there lets check them out?" She nods her head and follows me over towards the signs. We get up to the signs and tried to see which way it was, but all the signs read a different language. "Ah him Alexandria can you read this?" She looks at the sign very hard and studies it but after awhile she gives up. I shrug my shoulder and started walking back hoping she would follow me. "Try reading it again." ranged in my head. I spun around so fast that I literally startle Alexandria. I asked her if she said anything, but she shocked her head no. "I'm sorry I could have swore I heard something." She looks at me weird. "Your weird Alex." "Ya maybe I am." I said and turn around again and walked off. "Read it again!" rang in my head, but this time louder than before. "Ok stop playing with me." I said annoyingly. Alexandria look at me shocked. "Huh? Playing with you? I would never!" "Read it again." I pushed her to the side ignoring her hey and went up to the signs and then something weird happen. All the symbols turn into words. "The gym is that way." I pointed to the left. "Alex you can read this?" I shrugged my shoulders. "I guess so. Now come on!" I grabbed her hand in mine and rush to what was the gym.
    The whole entire time I was wondering who or what was that strange voice and how the hell did I read that sign. "Hey Alex are you okay? You're kinda squeezing my hand pretty hard." I didn't notice but she was right. I've been so tense up that I clench my hand into a fist with her hand still in mine. "Yah. I'm sorry i didn't mean to cause you harm." I kissed her hand and loosen my gripped on her. Her face was flush, its kinda cute on how easily she can blush. I'm starting to really like her. "Hey look were here." she says and lets go of my hand and runs out to the middle of the gym. "I remember once I was a child I use to run down here not knowing where I was going because of those signs back there, but I always find my way here and sing myself to sleep." I lean against the wall bemuse, but after awhile she started to sing. Her voice was beautiful no words could describe how I felt once she sang, but the song that she sunged was weird its like I have heard it before and that's when I remembered that the song was the same song my parents sung me to sleep before I went to the orphanage. Tears rolled down my face. I tried to stop them, but they just kept going. Finally, once she stop singing. I walked up to her and held her hands in mine. "Alex is everything alright it looked like you were crying?" without saying a word I kissed her and left her there standing in the middle of the gym.
    While walking back to my dorm I was wondering if I should go back, but all that crying made me tired. I head back to my dorm and closed the door and went to bed.
   I started to have a strange dream. I dreamt of myself getting out of bed and opening my door. I walked out of my room so quietly that no one heard me. I started to walk toward the balcony and what amazed me was that I went right through it like a ghost and now I'm twenty-five feet in the air gliding. I look over my shoulder and I see Alexandria. She probably going to the bathroom, but instead she goes to the balcony and looks right at me looking like she's trying to find something up here. I waved my hands and try to speak, but nothing worked. She just simply sighed and went back to bed. After she closed the door my body sanked down to the ground and I went underneath the church. To my amazement there's a basement down here. I land on the ground softly, but as soon as i stood up blackish blue fire light up the hallway I was in to a door with a pentagram and a skull handle.
   "Come closer boy." my body started to move on its own. This is not a dream its all real! "What is thy name?" "who is that speaking to me?" "Down here kid." I looked down and saw the skeleton door knob looking up at me. "What is your name?" it said. "You can talk?" I asked. "Yes I can freaking talk now tell me your name!" "My name is Alexander Grim sir." The skeleton smiled which was really creepy. "Ah! Grim boy we've been expecting you for sometime." "huh? Who's been expecting me?" the skeleton head made an evil look and said "Your father." The door open and sucked me in. I fell through the darkness unable tobseebor hear anything, but once I looked down I hit the floor really hard. I stood up and look around, but found nothing but a gate. I started to walk up to the gate. "Hello is anyone there?" I repeated myself, but still no answer. I stood there in complete darkness besides the lit torches of the gate. "Young Master I've been waiting for you." "who's there show yourself!" "As you wish master." I heard a low growl sound and shackles being cross the floor and one big foot like a paw of a dog then another. Then six big yellow eyes stared at me. I couldn't believe my eyes. A three headed dog about the size of a house was standing right in front of me. "My name is Cerberus. I am the guardian of the Hell Gate which stands before you." "How am I able to hear you?" "Your father will tell you all and everything in short time." "My father?" The gates open and a figure walks out. Someone in a black robes and holding a weapon. "Ah! Grim how wonderful it is to see you." said Cerberus. "As to you to Cerberus and who do we have here?" "Tis your son sire." "My son?" This person in the black robes looks at me and I can see he is holding a scythe and his face has no flesh just bones. "Ahh! Son its good to see you finally." "Who are you?" I said. "Do you not know your own father once you see him. Now give your dad a hug." He floats over to me and hugs me. "Father?" I looked up at him. "Yes son I am your dad." he said looking down on me.
