The Darkness Within The Light I Saw

Second 💀

CHAPTER 2

"A new set has arrive just a while ago and by the looks of it, I think it would be huge," Clarice announced as we are eating our breakfast then handed us our letters.

These two girls are also the same kind as me. The one with fake blond hair is Clarice and the one with a short black hair is Nora. That's our official business name that are usually used with other reapers.

"This is... a lot..." Nora says as she receive her envelope.

Clarice just shrugged and sighed, "Get ready, even the superiors are surprised about the numbers."

As if on cue, we looked at each other and I asked, "You think the others would be involve?"

She looked at me intently, like a sword piercing an ice but her gaze was stolen when Nora spoke.

"Whatever, if they make it easier for us to end this job then that's good," I looked at the clock and noticed that it was already 2 in the afternoon.

"I gotta go and get this over with," I said then started heading for the stairs.

"Right now?" Nora asked.

"Yeah I'm going to pack now," I left and do as I said to those two.

As soon I left, I head straight to convinience store that I went to yesterday.

I'm not even surprised that the guys before are there, and as usual the same guy is looking at me very sharply.

I didn't even bother to look back and just continue drinking my ice coffee and reading some local fashion magazine.

"Man, are you obsessed or something?"

"What? No!"

"Bro, stop. I know she's hot but you need to chill out man."

"Yes, they're right. Here I bought your favorite."

"You guys are getting wrong idea ok. And please, keep it down will you!"

They really didn't know what it means to whisper huh. After a deep sigh, I stood up and went out of the store. I glanced back and smiled at the guys or maybe its more like a smirk, then continued on my way.

I arrived at the house of a family that I would be staying at. As a grim reaper, it's very important for us to blend into the society so whenever we receive a task from the superiors, we take up an identity in the society for us to blend in.

I started to chant and a glow formed at the ground.

Oh heavenly star
Give me light
Blend me in
Let me shine

May this mission
Be fulfilled
Bless me dearly
This is my calling

The light from the ground took over me knocked me out of consciousness.

But the last thing I remember is that, I went inside the house and sleep in a blood stained bed.

Tik Tok.

Tik Tok.
