Tainted promises

Chapter four

(Reapers POV)

Lucas my guard was not pleased when he found me strolling the halls after my conversation with the vampire. His face was beat red With anger and grew more in the shade when I had the audacity to laugh.

The next morning or should I say evening  he made sure to stand out side my door all day. Stepping out the door he gave me a sharp glare in which I only winked.

Heading to the dining area I wanted to speak with Geno, being a servant wasn't the best I had my jailer follow me around constantly and even if i escaped him it wouldn't take long for him to find me searching the rooms again for the prized item I needed.

Perhaps a guard position would help me better but to get that I would need to talk to Geno. Walking down the ebony themed halls I stopped at the front of the doors to the dining area already hearing voices. Walking in them they stopped briefly but then continued chatting. I noticed Geno was looking at me curiously.

I smirked and mouthed 'I need to talk to you' he paused processing my words before nodding slowly 'after' he mouthed back. I nodded before heading to the kitchen.

I made sure to Remeber every detail of each room, where possible weapons where or escape routes and the easiest staff to get around.

Obviously dust would be a problem but for the other two and goth it should be easy.

Geno however is unpredictable I can't quite peg him yet perhaps if I get closer to him he'll trust me enough to tell me where it lies within the castle.

"So what is it you wanted to speak of death?" "I want to be a guard, a servant is to.... what would you call it.. lowly?" He scoffed but I held firm still having my smirk on my face.

"I can't just make you a guard you have to go through training" I shrugged "I can do that and work can't I?" He leaned back in his chair and rested a finger on his chin.

I leaned forward studying him, his shoulder rose and then fell as he sighed "okay but you must go through training to show that your willing to. Just please don't pester any of my other guards" he said with a small amused look on his face.

I gave a short laugh "I wouldn't count on it" he nodded allowing him self to smile "yeah I kinda figured."

(Genos POV)

I noticed Death was out training again practicing on one of our training dummies. He would be our first mortal guard if he succeeds, I couldn't help but blush as I grew near he wore a simple black t shirt with black shorts his expression was focused as he threw a few punches at the dummy making straw fly from it from the force of impact.

Why did he look so hot doing this? I thought before I blushed at my thought. I wasn't going to deny it though but that doesn't mean anything. The air was chilly out as moonlight made everything look silver and dull.

My breath left small clouds in the air, showing just how cool it was outside. The chill in the night air made everything sound and smell fresh and alive, this was one of my favourite parts about being a vampire I get to stay awake on nights like these.

Heading closer to Death he turned to me when he saw me. "Oh, didn't think you where out here to." He said panting a little from being exerted.

I nodded "yeah I like it out here" he looked at the moon, "it's a full moon tonight so I guess I see why you like it out here-" he said looking back at me "the light it gives off makes the world seem almost Dream like"
