The Grand Grim Reaper

The Grand Grim Reaper Part 11

"What was that?" one agent asked.

"What was what? the other asked while the other agent just looked at him.

"Okay, I didn't hear anything either. We need to get that warrant before..." before he could finish the other agent interrupt him.

"Why get that warrant? If anything was there it's gone now. It will be just a waste of time."

"Okay, if you think so."

"Yeah, we will just keep an eye on that house."

As the agents were leaving they notice the skies were getting darker over one spot in the neighborhood.

"Mom, it getting dark outside pretty quick, it's not that late."

"Yeah, you are right. It's just six o'clock."

"And in the summer, it doesn't get dark until nine o'clock. Those demons are up to something!"

"Well, do you want us to go out and see what's up?"

"No! You guys aren't going back out there. We don't know what they are doing and we don't have the powers to help you."

"Your father is right. We'll just wait until morning."

Inside an abandon old house, down in the basement, the demon was conjuring up old spirits.

The force of evil had darkened the skies upon arrival. While the Fillmore's were up all snug in their beds, an evil spirit wreak havoc in their neighborhood. They did not hear the sounds of screams in the hollow dark night. Bodies were clawed, thrown and twisted in the street.

The next morning Marty woke up early. Still, he did not look outside. As his stomach prolonged the fulfilling of desire to eat he headed straight for the refrigerator.

"Oh my God. Marty did you see what's out here! There are people in the street dead."

"What!" Marty yelled as he ran towards the window. "What happened?"

"I don't know, but we better wake up mom and dad."

"Miles, you wake them up because I don't want to explain why I didn't see this before grabbing a bite to eat."

"Man, sometimes I don't know where your head is at. Mom, Dad! You need to get down here."

Mr. and Mrs. Fillmore throw on their ropes and flew downstairs, "Marty you are down here stuffing your face? You are going to ruin your appetite for breakfast."

"Sorry, but my stomach couldn't wait."

"Mon, Dad!" Miles yelled, "Look out here!"

"What in the world," Mr. Fillmore said as he opened the door, "Call the police and an Ambulance. Oh my word, it must have been those demons."

People started coming out of their homes to see what happened.

"Did anyone of you seen what happened out here?"

"I heard the screams, but out of fear, I stayed inside," One neighbor said.

"You brought this on us with your demon-fighting,"

"Yeah, you people need to leave this neighborhood and take your demons with you."

"That's right, we are helpless against those things, we can't see them when they attack. Only you guys can see them and only when you are around you allow us to see them. So if you can't do your job and protect this community, maybe you should leave."

The Fillmore's felt bad because of what their neighbors were saying. They couldn't look at anyone and while their heads were down the police pull up and began questioning the people and all of them pointed towards the Fillmore.

"We can't just leave you people without any help it would be catastrophically dangerous."

"Well, Miles were where you last night? If you leave those demon things will fallow you. I mean if you look at it you would see that those demons are here because of you guys, they are after you and we suffer for it."

The police stood idly by listening to the complaints the people in the neighborhood had to say.

"So, you people know what causes this?"

"Know, we were asleep. Joe, you said you looked out your window. Did you see what did this?"

"It was nothing, absolutely nothing. Bodies were just flying across mid-air. There was nothing to fight it was invisible."

The officers were getting angry because they felt the people were covering up for someone.

"Okay you people need to come clean-or I will drag every one of you downtown. Now let's start from the beginning. What did you see? And the truth this time!"  

Marty was so hurt by what the people were saying he slowly drifts off to himself heading for the house to run inside and close the door forever. However, once he was inside the house and the door was shut tight; there, waiting on him was Lucifer himself. Before Marty could do or say anything, Lucifer throws memory dust in Marty's face, "Oh my eyes, I can't see. Who are you?"

"Oh, Thanatos you don't remember me; I am Lucifer, old friend. How we use to rock Hades when you would bring me, souls, sure I was upset when you took more souls to the Creator. Still, you were my friend Thanatos. Now you are just like the Creator you like these pathetic humans. Oh, how the knife stabs deeper when it pay-back time. The humans treat you just as bad as the creator, oh, they are fine when everything is going their way but the minute something goes wrong they want you out of town."

"Lucifer, what...you have got to stop those demons they are going to get my parents locked up."

"You are still stupid, no it's not my demons getting those humans you called parents locked up, it's those humans that are pointing the finger at; well if you want to call them your parents. Okay, they are your parents; humans are getting your parents locked up."

"Lucifer, I was born in this family."

"Thanatos, you are the Grand Grim Reaper, you are not human. Yeah, you jump in the peeler of souls to hide from me..."

"And then I was born human!"

"You say that like it's a good thing."

"I always wonder what it would like, to be human."

"There you go being stupid again. You can't do anything being human. The way we use to travel, you would have to rely on human transportation to get around. We think and we were there. Don't you miss that? Look, if you don't give up this insane act, someone else is going to take your place, and then you will grow old and died just like these humans. Please tell me you don't want that?"

"What I want is to live here in peace with my family!"

"Then stay with the humans, but believe me it won't be peaceful!" Then Lucifer made his exit.
