Death The Kid

Chapter 2

I was shocked to hear all of this. To be honest I pinch myself a lot to make sure this wasn't a dream. After my arm was black and blue from pinching myself I knew this was real. "Hold on a second if your my dad what is my name?" My supposed father didn't hesitate or even think he said my name cleat as day. "Your name is Alexander Grim and to answer your next question your birthday is on June 6, 2006." "How do you know that?" " I am your father after all." I thought to myself how could I get him, then I remember the song. "Ok dead man if your my father what was the song that you sang to me to sleep once I was young." "Yes the lullaby me and your mom did for you." He points to the wall. "Here place your hand next to the wall like this." I did as he constructed and a weird glow came from my arm. "Huh? A tattoo of a pentagram?" "Yes this is your key to any room you like even in the human world." He winks at me and I understand where he is coming from. The wall crumbles and I walked in. "This use to be your room." "My room?" I walked around and found a box. "Open it." I opened the box and ranged the melody I fell asleep too, but my supposed father started to sing.
    I listen to him sing trying to hold back my tears, but I couldn't help it. My father is the Grim Reaper. Flesh or no flesh I have a father. Once the music box stop my dad took me in his arms. "My son I'm terrible sorry for all the pain and hurt I cause you." "Why... Why couldn't you keep me here... Why did you send me away?" I saw in his face sorrow and sadness. "My son I did it for your protection." "My protection? Protection from what?" He pointed towards the picture on the wall. I look and see him standing with a man. "Who is that?" My father answer. "That my son is Lucifer himself." "Why were you protecting me from him?" "Now is not the time to tell you son, but enough of this father son bond thing its time for your training." He walks over and touches the wall. "Training? Training for what?" He smiles and says "To be the next death." The wall opens and all I see is a pentagram on the floor and five candles lit, but different colors.
    "This is a training ground to harness your powers." He says. "Wait? Powers? What powers?" "Son remember that time once you were in the hallway and heard something." I shocked my head yes. "Well son that was me talking to you telepathically." "You're shutting me right?" Without moving his mouth I heard his and mine thoughts. "Do you think I'm shitting you now?" I answer him telepathically by saying "Wow! What else can I do?"  He says "Stand in the circle and let me show you." I stood on the circle and immense power flow through me. I saw the candles they were now two feet in the air. "Hmm... Your power is great, but not great enough you must surpass me in order to be the next death." "Then teach me how to surpass you." He smiles and says "You see these five candles." I nod. "These all represent an element: spirit, water, earth, air, and fire. You must master all five elements, then and only then will I teach you some cool stuff." "Well then lets get started." I said. He nods his head and grabs one of the candles and throws it at me. the candle hits my chest and sends me to a different dimension.
