Broken Crown (Afterdeath story)

Chapter 28

(Reapers POV)

Breakfast was okay today I suppose Basically the same everyday I thought to my self I looked up when Geno cleared his throat oh no I know that look. "Is there any towns nearby?" I nodded setting my fork down and folding my hands "Reaperrrrr" sighing "What do you want?" I said trying to look serious but had a smile on my face "What? me nooo" I gave him a really look "Well okay I was wondering if we could go to one of these towns?" he said a hopeful look in his eyes thinking for a moment "Well where going home today so We will stop at the city there how about that?" he beamed "Thank you!" he quickly ran over and kissed me on the cheek "Yeah yeah Now you better gather your things we leave in three hours" he kissed my cheek again before leaving "heh cute" I muttered leaving the room also.

"Ready to go?" Geno nodded smiling stepping out I pulled my hood more over my face if anyone saw me it would be nuts. He grabbed my hand we walked through the streets "Jeez last time I walked through I hear I met you" I said  laughing he nodded and smiled. We strolled around for a bit Then we got to the market square and of course its busy as usual Geno looked at me "Do you have change on you?" he asked shyly I nodded Can we buy bread?" tilting my head and laughing a little bit "We have bread back at the castle?" he shrugged "Okay" I said he looked up really?" nodding he dragged me over to a stall the Stall man had his back turned "What can I get for ya bros"  bros? what the heck I gave Geno a what look he only laughed "Ill have the usual" Geno said leaning slightly on the wooden counter the guy turned around "OMG Geno?! yo sup brah!" he said grinning "Jeez man I haven't see ya in 4 evs yo" I watched in silence at there interaction "So howz have yas bin? you look really well also whos ya bud over there?" "oh ya know Geno said shrugging also Its just a.. Friend of mine" I slightly waved  making sure he cant see my face "Yo" he waved back.

this guy is ridicules I have no idea how Geno understands him but he seemed to be enjoying him self. I Pulled geno slightly close so only he could hear me speak "Ill be right back I have to do something quickly Ill find you in a bit keep around this area" I slipped him some coins and left before he could ask questions.

(Genos POV)

"Huh? something I said yo?" fresh asked me I shook my head putting the coins in my pocket "nah he just said he needs to do something before we head back to the castle" "oh haha" I smiled "well I better get going ill Try and visit again some time" fresh turned around and took a box and handed it to me "Hear" taking it "how much?' he shook his head Just keep it Ill see ya around bro" he then turned around and assisted a impatient customer.

walking away I looked at the little box it was kind of heavy and Was red "huh" i didn't want to open it just yet "well time to find Reaper." Looking around I passed a alleyway and noticed Kids in a circle cheering at something i decided to investigate a noticed they where beating up some kid gasping I decided to interfere "Stop it! all of you go back to your homes!" i said angrily They scattered Reviling a small Skeleton child Bloody and beat up cowering against the stone wall. I felt instant pity I know exactly how it feels "Excuse me?" the kid flinched when he saw me he looked no older then 8 "Its okay i wont hurt you" i said smiling the kid slowly removed his hands from his face gasping slightly He really did remind me of me he only had one eye light and Was extremely small for a 8 year old "are you okay?" he nodded slowly Hugging him self i looked around i cant leave him hear "Where's Your parents?" he looked at me confused tilting his head "The people who look after you?" he still looked confused but realization hit him and he shook his head "You just live on the street?" he just looked away. "geno there you are!" the kid jumped a mile looking back at him "Shh its okay hes with me" i gave a reassuring smile, Reaper walked over "I see... you've made a friend?" Reaper asked confused i stood up my ankles hurt from crouching down so long "He lives on the street bullies where picking on him we cant just leave him" i pleaded "Reaper shook his head well what am i supposed to do?" i looked down at the kid who looked scared and confused "Please Reaper can he stay with us until We find someone else to look after him?" Reaper shook his head "I'm to busy to look after kids Plus I'm not good AT all with them like I kid you not I make baby's cry by Just Walking in the same room" i laughed slightly "Well its cruel to Leave him hear Look at him Hes  hurt" I used puppy dog eyes " "no" "Please" i said I would feel so guilty If we just left him hear Hes bleeding and has broken bones!" Reaper was silent Looking at the kid from underneath the hood before sighing and turning away "Fine BUT just until we find a orphanage or Some one to look after him" spinning to look at the kid who Still had the same look on his face "If you want we can look after you until we find you a home" the kid looked extremely hesitant "I know you just met me But its okay I wont hurt you" the kid then took my hand As the three of us walked back to the carriage.
