Grim Reaper

Childhood

I leaned over him, hugging him tightly in my arms as the tears rolled down continuously..he was dead. There was no sign of life. The coldness of his body sent chills through me.

" Ash..please" I whispered in his ear, he didn't respond or move.

I don't know how long I stayed with him or sat there, but a shadow fell over me. I looked up ready to defend Ash from the person.

" My brother...." A voice croaked. It was Lyros, his eyes were red as he stared at his brothers lifeless body in my arms and guilt seethed through me.

" I'm sorry...im soo sorry" I cried, he leaned next to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder and my head collapsed on him.

I shook so bad with pain, my eyes stinging me.

" I lost the man I love.....the only man I loved" I cried to him, I clenched my fist into his jacket. I felt him freeze. He pushed me away slowly and looked at me.

" You love him" he asked me, his voice hoarse with anguish. I nodded and I looked at Ash's body.

He sighed, controlling him self.

" My brother...was not like anyone in this world. Since we were kids we used to argue alot.. But we loved each other deeply" he told me his voice breaking at the loved part and a tear rolled down his eyes. It hit me that he was in more pain than me. His brother was dead, his family.

I wrapped my arms around him, until he calmed down.

" It was always me, Ash and Jerome. When we were younger we used to call our selves the magical three...but our mother used to call us the three psychopaths" he continued letting out a chuckle.

I never heard them talk about their mother, and it interested me. What was she like?

" our mother is a beautiful women. Whenever we argued she was the first person there to bring us back together....she taught us everything about life. To fight and survive and never hesitate to kill a person threatening the one we care about...terrifying actually" he said, he let out a faint smile. The first time he truly let out a smile.

I felt another tear roll down my face. Their mother would be heartbroken.

" I'm so sorry. It's all my fault...because of me your brother Is gone..and your mother loses a son" I said to him. He smiled grimly at me and nodded his head in disagreement. He stood up and leaned over Ash picking him, he looked in his face and tears rolled down as he piggy backed him.

" Lets go back" Lyros said to me, his voice quite. I nodded and we walked back, our eyes still red with tears.

We entered the apartment and He placed Ash on the sofa. Together we stared at him and Lyros gulped.

" I-I ne-need to tell j-jer-jerome" he whispered quietly, he took in a long trembling breath and closed his eyes. I took a step back and left the room, standing outside to let Lyros spend some time with his brother.

I sat down and cried. It hurt so bad..it killed me. I heard heart wrenching sobs come from the room and I knew that Jerome was there. Gasps and other noises came from the room as well and I closed my eyes.

I stood up and headed back slowly, the brothers were sitting down beside Ash on the floor, tears in their eyes. Jerome had his face covered, I sat down next to them and he looked up. His eyes were extremely red and he looked at me and asked.

" What did the man look like?"

" he-he's dead" I responded quietly.

" I don't care. I'm going to kill his family and take them to hell.. How DARE HE HURT MY BROTHER" he snarled in rage, his eyes tearing up and I cried again.

It must have been 3 hours we sat there and cried, Ash became paler by the second and his hair turned a white colour. I gasped and stood up, clutching him tightly.

" Whats happening to him" I yelled at the boys. Their heads snapped up and they both looked at Ash.

" His powers....are fading.....reborn as a new grim reaper" lyros told me.

" Reborn?" I asked..

He nodded

" All memories will be lost and it will be a different person not our brother but a stranger" he told me.

I gasped and stared.

Just then an enormous light burst into the room. Blinding my eyes and causing me to stumble on the floor.

" It-it can't be" I heard Jerome whisper.

The light was so radiant with power that I trembled. It was beautiful and dangerous at the same time. The light slowly faded and in its place....stood a women.

She had black radiant hair, cut short to her shoulders, brown hazel eyes and long eyelashes....she wore a black dress that reached her ankles. A black pendant was around her neck. She was beautiful. The dangerous beauty.

There was something about her that made me want to never piss her of at all. Standing near her was a small black cat. It had green eyes and long fangs as it looked around the room.

The women took a step forward until her eyes landed on Lyros and then Jerome, she smiled at them...a beautiful heartwarming smile. A smile full of love and respect and pride...

Who is she?

Her smile faltered as she looked at their expressions and red eyes. A look of concern spread across her face, ever so slowly her eyes moved to Ash and she screamed.

What the!

She breathed heavily and walked towards him slowly, her body trembling. I moved forward to stop her but a hand pulled me back and held me in place it was Jerome. He shook his head.

The women collapsed next to his body and her eyes turned red, tears rolling down her face.

" Who done this?" She whispered asking...her voice dangerously low.

" WHO DONE THIS TO MY SON" She screamed.

It can't be....
