Grell's P.O.V

"Where the fuck am I?" I mumbled sitting up. I was cold, my clothes and hair was wet, and there was a dark red stain on my once whit shirt.
"Is this... blood?" I questioned to no one in particular, before lifting my shirt. I gasped as a scar ran across my chest, directly over my heart. I looked up to see a man dressed in black.

My head hurts, my body hurts. Everywhere hurts. I sit up and look around the white room. Where am I? Why am I here? Why cant I remember anything except my name? I played with the ring on my finger.

"Ah, you're awake!" A man in a dark suit approached me. He reminded me of someone.

"Who are you? What is going on?" He smiled at me and helped me stand up.
"What happened and why am I covered in blood." The man chuckled before explaining that I killed myself. I nervously played with the golden ring, noticing the 'W' engraved on it.

"Your memory will come back in time. Your punishment for killing yourself is eternal life as a grim reaper, or shinigami, as some prefer to call us." I nodded my head in understanding.
Many questions came to my mind;

Who or What caused me to kill myself?

Who did this man remind me of?

Why the fuck am I so cold and wet?

The man explained how I would need to go through training and that I could start tomorrow. He handed me a pair of glasses before leading me to where I would be staying.

"Oh, one more thing!" The guy, now known as Tom, shouted, before he left.
"You might experience personality changes and headaches. It's part of the punishment. See you tomorrow!" I waved him off before going to the bedroom. I stripped off my clothes and hopped in the shower before getting some pyjamas out of the drawers (they were provided). I looked in the wardrobe at all the black suits and shoes. I made my way back into the bathroom and grabbed a pair of scissors; this long hair was getting in my way. I cut it down to a manageable size, where I wouldn't have to pay too much attention to it, before getting into the comfortable bed and drifting into a dreamless sleep.
