Death Contract (PUBLISHED)

Alex in Wonderland Part 2

Chapter 10

I did not expect the grim reaper who was with me to take me back to Sitio Kalamazoo, where a fiesta is currently taking place. With the flags I could just see on each side of the highway and the happy people going from house to house preparing, I could not help but feel sad. This was the fiesta Dad had been waiting for, so he bought a horse. If only all this had not happened, then it would not have been the grim reaper who was with me but Dad.

Yet, I still can't help but close my eyes every time I see shadows of death in the various people our vehicle passes by.

"What are we doing here?" I asked him while wondering why, of all the places in Plamour City, we went here.

"Later, there will be a horse race held here. I want to watch it. " He said coldly. That was when my forehead furrowed.

"You what? You're just going to watch it? Then why did you take me with you? I thought you were going to teach me to be a living reaper. " I saw how he was slightly touching his ear. Maybe he became slightly deaf when I shouted.

Not sorry.

"You'll find out later. For now, I want you to just be quiet first." I looked at him annoyed, but his face was blank and didn't seem to care.

I just glared at him and chose to turn my eyes to the highway. Soon, the car we were riding in stopped next to the covered court. I just gasped in annoyance when he asked me to go out there. Of course, I can't say no. When did I decide for myself to disobey what he wanted?

But that is when Alex meets the prince, who takes care of her inside the place called Wonderland.

However, I was shocked when he approached a street vendor and asked how much the fishball was.

"One peso only," the vendor replied to him, who seemed even more surprised. So before anything else happened, I approached him.

"What are you doing?" I asked in a whisper. He looked at me innocently.

"The name of what you humans are doing is eating. This body is already hungry. His stomach is constantly ringing. I am annoyed because it happens every day." He said without hesitation. My lips parted because of that.

Oh my gosh! Why doesn't he even filter what he says? Doesn't he see that there are other people around him?

When I turned my gaze, the vendor was grinning from ear to ear. So, I laughed and smiled, knowing that I knew it was creepy because I don't usually do it. However, I still did.

"I'm sorry, he just came out of mental." That's probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever said. "Yeah, it That's right, excuse us. " And before I could even hear the grim reaper speaking to me again, I was kind enough to pull him away from there.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"I must be the one asking that. Why did you pull me? This body's stomach is so noisy that it needs food. " He still has no emotion. Fortunately, we have moved away from a lot of people because they will look at him if he does not stop saying such things.

"If you say something like this, say it using your power to talk to me with your mind. Don't say anything else out loud. " I scolded him weakly. Because of that, his head tilted slightly, but his face did not have any emotions. I do not know why it made me smile.

But I quickly command myself to not smile, because nothing is hilarious. However, the warmth of my cheek did not seem to restrain something I had just felt.

What's wrong with me?

When he smiled suddenly, I knew he already knew what I was thinking. So before we could talk, I dragged him to a fast-food restaurant.

"You're blushing, am I right?" I just closed my eyes to his question, and when I opened them again, I looked at him.

"You, stop it!" I threatened well, and he listened. When we entered the restaurant, he used his ability to communicate with his mind to talk to me.

'You said you don't want me to use it? I'm just following some of your wishes. Don't be abusive. '

I just rolled my eyes at what he said. However, I cannot deny that his true voice is better than hearing him talk using Albus' voice. I took a deep breath when I heard his faint growling sign of a grin.

Surely he knew what I was thinking.

However, I just ignored him and showed him one of the seats near the glass window so that he could sit there and wait while I ordered.

This is Jollibee, so yeah, I have to line up.

But suddenly, I bumped into a man with the shadow of death behind him. So I almost fell on the floor when I saw what was going to happen to him.

In the commotion, the horse's shoe hit the man's face for some unknown reason. It sank into his eyes, something that made me completely close my eyes.

"Calm down, Sean, train yourself."

I heard the voice of the grim reaper speaking to me. Something that gave me the strength to face my fears.

"Are you okay, miss?" asked the man, who looked stunning as well. However, I forced myself to look at him in the eyes. I should have warned him when I heard the grim reaper's voice again.

Do not care about the work of fate. '

That is why the opening of my mouth was replaced by a smile.

"I'm fine." After that, I walked away from him and just ordered what we could eat. When I returned to our seats, Albus just stared at me. I ignored him and just laid the food down.

"You just ate at home earlier, and now you are hungry again." I guess that's all I was able to say. He shrugged before speaking.

"You have to get used to it. Remember, you can't always be with me. That thing is normal for us grim reapers. "

I just nodded there before choosing to give him the fries, chicken burger, and even the float. Fortunately, Hailey's mother gave me money, something I did not ask for. Though I accepted it because it was necessary. I allegedly bought a new cellphone with this money because they were still repairing my credit cards that burned along with the cellphone in the exploded taxi.

I just shook my head when my thoughts came back there again and chose to talk to the grim reaper in front of me.
