The Grim Reaper's Hunt

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Cold. So cold. I opened my eyes to see that I'm in a large steel cage with cold shackles rubbing my ankles. Ow. My everywhere ached. It was as if I was beaten up by a elephant. Then i felt some difference in my clothing. I looked down and saw that I was wearing a white dress. Just a plain white dress. What happened? Then I remembered. Where am I?! I quickly stood up, wincing as I did so. I scanned the room I was in. It was like a large lab. My cage seem that it had no weak points. How would I get out? Even if I did manage to destroy the cage, the shackles would've bound me here. The only way to get out is for me to get a key or chop my feet off. I banished the thought and sat down once more to think thoroughly a bit more.

Suddenly, the giant iron doors started to open. I jumped up and faced my captors. There were thirteen men looking at me. I felt anger slowly, but surely filling me up. No! I can't let my feelings overtake me. I stared at them, and they stared at me. The man with a puppet was the first one to speak.

"Is this measly girl the one that sliced up my best tracker and fighter?"

The man that I immediately recognized was at the middle. He was smirking, again. I scowled. Then I realized something. They were all the Angel 13's most powerful men! The one that captured me is probably the one in the middle. Then the Angels started to talk.

"How did she defeat Korolos?!?!"

"I'll answer all your questions with one answer. She is the daughter of the Celestials! She has already unlocked her second resonance form!"

Silence.

I stood up shaking in anger. I looked at them with deadly eyes. I whispered,

"Let me out....."

They turned to look at me and I repeated it louder,

"Let me out!"

" No can do Celestial!"

"LET ME OUT!!!"

A ring of blue fire encircled me. The shackles on my feet shattered at the pressure. I turned into my second form without warning and sliced up the cage without any effort. The Angels all looked surprised, except for the man that captured me. He was enjoying himself.

I yelled and charged. All of them summoned their weapons, spears, clubs, axes, etc. But the ring leader, was still enjoying himself. I disarmed a few of them and pointed Excalibur and Wislumzadi the Tainted between his eyes. For some reason, I couldn't move my body.

His green eyes were glowing and I knew which Angel this man was. His name is Zarron. Leader of the Angels. I was no match for him at the start. Raphael might have a chance, but I'm doomed. He has the Eyes of the Mind. A special kind of eye that controls a opponents body by forcing the mind to stay put.

I stood there helplessly as the other Angels staggered up and retrieved their weapons. Zarron grabbed my neck and slammed me down. The metallic taste of blood filled my mouth once again. I squirmed aimlessly on the ground as the Angels laughed at my weak form as I struggled. Tears were streaking down my face, I cannot ever face Headmaster ever again in the eye. He grabbed the collar of my dress and dragged me back to the dreadful lab. I didn't even have enough strength to even struggle. I just layed there limply as he threw me onto the cold metal floor.

He went inside a cabinet and took out numerous chains to replace the ones I shattered. Zarron turned to me and said,

"Since you are going to be mine, you will probably need a fake name."

"No! I'm Alicia Rose and I will never be anything else!"

"Oh? Really? Is that so? Then I shall strip you from that name!"

He lifted up his hand and so did my body. He moved his hand through the air, and I was slammed against walls of iron. I didn't scream. More like I couldn't. Pain seared through my body and spots were everywhere.

When he was finally finished, he took a long dagger and looked at me with glee. He advanced towards me, while I desperately try to keep my distance from him. But he caught up to me in no time. He took my face and sliced the dagger down across my left eye, thus blinding me. I screamed in agony as white-hot pain engulfed my eye. He looked satisfied. He stood up and announced to the other Angels,

"From now on, this girl shall no longer be a Grim Reaper! From now on, she will be known as

Lilica, the Grim Reaper Slayer!"

The victorious cries still echo in my head. As I remember the last day that I was a Grim Reaper. I still touch my left eye, in memory of that day. Where I betrayed my family and friends. Where I realized that Alicia Rose was dead. And I am reborn as Lilica. But, I still wonder in hope if they still remember me. If Susie is doing okay and the Council of Souls are as hearty as ever. But little did I know, that they will come rescue me from the hell I have endured. That they never gave up hope.
