Chapter 4
My Turn
Waking up in the cold bath water I looked at my fingers they were slightly bluish my lips cracked as I moaned sitting up my back still sore but better than what it was I couldn't remember how many days flew by.....actually now that I think about it I couldn't remember anything. Except the man...he came in and out of my mind, slowly I tried to get up but I slipped my ribs aching my back making this popping sound. My eyes widened as I whimpered and bit my lower lip. I couldn't believe how weak I was. Hearing a knock on the door I noticed that I was in my boxers puzzled and embarressed I pulled the shower curtain closed and spoke out "Come in." soft footsteps came in and the door closed "Mika are you okay?" a male...deep voice....my memories were so out of control that I bit my lower lip and whispered "Yeah I'm fine..." the male pulled the curtain back and he had brown hair and light green eyes my eyes widened and I saw The Reaper's resemblance to this male....."De-Death?" the male chuckled and shook his head..."I didn't have a name I was always known as The Reaper but now that I think about it I want to name myself...but I don't know how." The Reaper confessed. Nodding I grew really self conscious The Reaper looked down and he coughed nervously. "So Mika could you help me?" I looked at The Reaper and I nodded The Reaper smiled and helped me out of the bathtub and wrapped me up in a towel and then laid me back donw on the couch. "It seems like your fever went down." nodding I thanked him for helping me.
The Reaper nodded and then he sat down in an armchair all was silent and uncomfortable outside I could hear the sounds of cars driving by honking their horns while people screamed and yelled at their kids from across the halls. Looking at The Reaper his eyes were scanning my body and I narrowed my eyes and he smirked and then chuckled. "Well you gonna help me boy or not?" Grunting I sat up and thought for what seemed like hours his foot tapping the ground when I finally shouted out "Stop god damn it Stop! that's annoying beyond anything!" The Reaper chuckled and shrugged continuing his tapping getting up I walked over to him ignoring the pain in my back and my side and punched him in the face he was shocked and he looked at him his eyes widened. "Your such a prick!" I screamed "Your arrogant and your annoying!" The Reaper got up and I swear he was going to hit me but instead he smirked and messed up my hair. "Your so small and anyway it would be wrong of me to hit a crippled." Rolling my eyes I sat back down and glared at him he turned and he smiled "I think I found a perfect name for me" I smiled and with sarcasm "Oh could it be by any chance Dipshit?" The Reaper narrowed his eyes then laughed. "No my name is Reed." I nodded and thought about the name it was an okay name.
"Its a great name Reed..." Smiling I got up and went into the kitchen looking through the cupboards....but to my disappointment there was nothing in the cupboards except some rat's crap disgusted I looked over my shoulder at Reed and he shrugged I thought about it for a moment and I finally understood he was a Reaper for pitysake he was dead and alive.....he really didn't need to eat anything....it sadden me to see Reed look around wondering what everything was. I was about to say something when something started ticking I saw Reed grow puzzled when it stopped ticking he looked at me when smoke eased under the crack of the door but that's all I saw when Reed started running toward me screaming to get down.....
Chapter 4
Reed's turn
"Mika! GET DOWN!" Mika tilted his head confused so I ran faster when the door behind us shattered into millions of pieces the force of the explosion slammed Mika against a wall he screamed as he hurt his back again...damn the boy was getting hurt left and right and I was breaking my promise to protect him. Black clouds seeped through the windows and surrounded Mika he coughed and spluttered I screamed and drew out my scythe hooking the clouds through their necks and twisting it making them scream their souls being tortured as they went down to Hell. Mika was groaning clutching his chest as he coughed black ooze coming out of his eyes and mouth coughing I got down on my hands and knees and I looked at Mika is face was cracking and he was coughing his eyes filled with terror.
I understood his pain he was dying and turning....turning into a Demon....a Black Kalipto Demon. "Mika...Mika stay with me come on buddy fight it." he was gasping his legs kicking his nails digging into the floor as he struggled to breath. "I.....I can't... Reed." Mika was growing weak but I had to believe he would make it....if he didn't.....well....the world....would be in danger.
