"Come on! Let's take a break for once!" Begged the young girl. Undertaker shook his head as he continued to drag Halona by the wrist.
"No time. We must train." He said sternly. Halona pouted, then she started to resist Undertaker's grasp.
"Come on! We never have any fun!" Undertaker kept moving forward. Halona tried to pull back but it had no effect, her resistance didn't even slow the old man down.
"We have plenty of fun mind you." He said. The girl struggled to free herself from his grasp.
"No we don't!" She shouted, still trying to break free, "how..." she grunted, "how are you so strong?" Asked Halona.
Undertaker suddenly stopped and let go of her wrist, causing Halona to fall back as she let out a yelp.
"How am I so strong?" He repeated her question. As usual he started to giggled insanely.
"That's a good question my child. Unfortunately I don't know myself. Most likely because we're reaper's my dear. You see, we are much like humans, we eat, sleep, and act like them. But, we are much stronger and smarter. So that's why, I suppose. Does that answer your question?" Halona looked at him strangely, then nodded.
Undertaker sighed and patted his students head.
"I suppose we can take a rest day." Halona's eye widened then she squealed loudly with joy.
"Thank you Undertaker!" She yelled as she jumped into his arms.
"Ah, of course you spoiled little brat." Halona giggled at Undertaker's comment. He set her back on the ground and patted her head.
"What shall we do today then my dear?" He asked, letting out a small creepy laugh. Halona put a finger on her chin as if she was thinking.
"I think I have an idea." She said, giggling maniacally. Undertaker smiled and leaned in.
"And what would that be?" He asked, suspicious of the girls plan.
"Well, you could try to get your hat back!" She exclaimed. Before Undertaker had the chance to attack Halona grabbed his hat and ran off with it. They laughed loudly as Undertaker chased her around town. Many people gawked and made rude comments about them. Fortunately they didn't have a care in the world so their words could not phase them.
"Can't catch me old man!" She yelled. Undertaker laughed insanely and ran faster.
"Old? Well this old man is gonna get you!" They chased each other for an hour until Halona stopped suddenly.
Her body froze as a horrified expression was painted on her face. The once cheerful girl turned into a terrified, scared small child. Undertaker caught up and saw her face. Immediately he looked around, ready to protect her at all costs.
"What is it my dear?" He asked, worried for the child. Halona hesitated, but put on an obviously forced smile and looked at him.
"Nothing, just spaced out I suppose." She said calmly. She skipped along dragging the old man behind.
What she saw, was not nothing. The face she saw, brought horrible memories that had terrified her for nights.
'He's here...I was sure he would have left by now. Why is he still here?' She mentally asked herself. Halona remembered what he did to her. She remembered that sometimes, she would let him do it. She was so hungry, and he would give her more food as long as she kept her mouth shut. Halona put on a brave face for Undertaker. Today was supposed to be a good day. She didn't want to ruin it.
