The Final Reaper

Saving A Friend

I'm sure you're wondering what happens after you die. Will you go to Heaven, or Hell? To be candid, the souls of the damned do go to Hell. Where do the rest of the souls go, then? Well, let's just say it's not a world made of clouds. All death is caused by The Grim Reaper. Without him everyone would live forever, no one would find eternal slumber and their spirit will not leave this world. Without death there will be only chaos. My name is Jason Anderson and I am The Final Reaper.

It's best if I start from the beginning. My day began the same as any other. I was walking to Forest Hill California's Hades Boarding School for the Gifted and Privileged, with my friend Zack Lopez. He was tall, scrawny; but he was stronger than he looked, he had dark brown hair, dead emerald green eyes and a Hawaiian tan. Me, well, I'm the same height but I'm a little more muscular. I've got messy black hair, storm cloud gray eyes and my skin is slightly pale. We're not very popular our reason for that is that we get into a lot of fights.

As we were walking to school on an off road path, when heard someone scream we ran up the trail and found the school bully Gus Ferguson; a junior. He was blond, with blue eyes, pudgy and just because he was captain of the football and track teams and because his family was rich he thought he was above everyone else. Right next to Gus was Scott Rodriguez, [a parasitic freshman who will take advantage of whoever has the most power.] He had dark brown hair like Zack's; a pale skin tone and multi-colored eyes, one sea green and one ocean blue. He had a dishonest face and a grin that went way too high. They were beating up the smartest person in class, Alex Jones. She was being punched in the face by Gus while Scott was kicking her in the ribs. She was bleeding and crying; her brunette hair was covered in dirt, her face was bruised, her navy blue jeans were torn, and her purple shirt was soaking up her blood.

Normally I didn't care what Gus was doing but seeing him doing something like this just made me want to beat the crap out of him. I think Zack was thinking the same thing because his fists were clenched he was breathing hard and it looked like there was fire in his eyes. Usually, I would hold Zack back to prevent a fight, but now I wasn't even going to try. 

"Hey Gus, Scott, leave her alone before we break your arms." I said. Gus turned toward us and his expression changed from complete happiness to utter rage once he saw it was us. 

 "You better stay out of this" Gus said. He was about to hit Alex again, but before he could I ran up grabbed him by the shoulder and punched him in the face. 

 "You're going to pay for that!" Gus yelled. He turned around and tried to hit me but I blocked his fist with ease. 

 "My turn," I said. I gave Gus a punch to the face again and knocked him to the ground.

Gus'snose was broken and blood was dripping down his chin. "Noway, how can you always do this, you're just a worm compared to me." said Gus.Scott then tried to stab me with a pocket knife from behind; fortunately Zacktwisted his arm until the knife fell out of his hand. Once the knife hit theground, Zack punched Scott in the face then kneed him in the groin. "Next time, fight fair." Zack said. 

"Thanksdude." I said. I turned towards Gus. I was about to punch him in the face yet again.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 "Who'sthe worm now?" I asked. 

 "Ha;you think you're better than me, you're nothing but a worm, your parentsprobably committed suicide just to get away from you." said Gus. At that momentI snapped. "You can saywhat you want about me Gus. But when the likes of you even mention my parentsin a negative way... I will end you." I said threateningly 

 "Your parents were the scum of theearth; they were nothing but people who were poor, they just got lucky and wonthe lottery or something." said Gus 

 "I'll kill you, you bastard!" Iyelled. At that instant I lost control and everything went black.
