Reaper: Book 1

A Child's Rage

Drax is taking me to see Ciao. When we, get to the hotel. Ciao was just coming out of his room. I wasted no time running to him hugging him causing us to almost fall over. "Caio!" "Haha hey, Emmie." He says. "I told you id try to come over". I told him. "I never doubted that. How are you?" He asks? "Im ok". I lied. He gives me a funny look. "Don't hide your emotions from me, Emmie. You know im always here for you." He says. "Im not allowed to say details but lots of stuff going on became overwhelming. And you know what happens to me when I bottle shit up. Also, I just found out you here. I missed you caio. Im sorry, I left you behind." I say with a frown. "I know. I missed you too. And don't be sorry. I may have been the one who found you cuz your dad left. You never answered your phone so I came over. But I understand." He says hugging me."You found me?" Caio nods. A door slams. "I knew id see you again." A familiar voice says. I stand frozen. "Dad?" I say frightened. Caio pulls me behind him. I cling to him not moving. "You've had your fun. Come with me. You're staying here." He says coldly. "She isn't going anywhere with you. Ever. You won't hurt her anymore, you may have when you were alive but it's over now. How many times do we have to tell you you're not welcome here Cecile?" Caio snaps. "Hehe, I don't take orders from anyone." He looks at me with anger in his eyes. "Fine. I will leave. But first things first. Do I need to remind you of what you are?" He asks. I shake my head no. "Good. Now, what are you? ""Nothing. I say trying not to cry. "That's right. Remember that." He says as he goes to leave.

Drax uses his scythe to drag him back. "What the?" Cecile says. "You're not leaving just yet," Drax says. "Any whys that?" He asks. "Because I've dealt with scum like you." He says coldly. "Oh really?" Cecile asks smiling. "Yes." Drax answered. "Why are you defending the brat? She's not worth it." He says. "I've heard people say that about the ablest people I know. Everyone is worth something". Drax says." Not her. She doesn't do anything right. "He says. I take out one of her knives and toss it near his head. "Emmie, what are you doing?" Caio asks. "Im not taking this shit anymore!" I blurt out. I pull out my scythe. "I know this won't do much but im sure it will wear you out enough to get rid of you," I said as swings it at him.

Drax catches my blade and stops my without a second thought. "Drax? Let me do this. Please." I say quietly. He gives me a sideways glance "let your superior handle this first, then you can kill him". He says. I reluctantly lower my scythe. "Yes sir. " I nod. I stand by Caio shaking from the anger I want to release. "Wow, you actually listened for once," Cecile says. "Stop talking and let me speak" Drax snaps. "Im listening." "Why in the world would you treat your child like that?" Drax asks Cecile. "If she behaved I wouldn't have to. Im, sure she's done thing here you didn't agree with. She deserved the punishments she got." He answers. Drax shakes his head. "I am all for punishments if deserved, but don't belittle them. Tell them what they did wrong and how to fix it." He says trying to reason with the vile man before him." You have your way I have mine." he says.

Drax walks toward him a bit. "Your way cost someone their life" "She made that choice on her own. Not me." He says defensively. "You were the one who made her do that. I didn't have abusive parents, but I have dealt with them". Drax says. I can tell he's pissed. I appreciate him doing this for me. I grip my scythe so tightly that my knuckles turn white. "You're the reason im here!" I yell at my dad."This doesn't concern you. Stay out of it." He says. "She didn't inconvenience you, you inconvenienced her". Drax told him. "She inconvenienced me the day she was born." He admitted. I tilt my head. The sadistic look on my face makes Ciao back away. He knows this look. "I hope you know, reapers are the most divine beings to exist, you're merely a bug to us," He says. "She wouldn't dare." He says looking at his daughter. Ciao smiles. "I think she would." He says pointing to me. I pace waiting. "It's easy to kill a demon. All you need is the right motivation" Drax says as he nods at me.

I walk over to him. My face doesn't change. I don't say anything right away. All I see is red. I barely heard Ciao and Drax laugh. "You don't have the guts brat," Dad says."Shut it. It's my turn to speak. Im sorry I couldn't be the child you wanted. Im sorry I was such a bother for you. Im sorry for existing. But let me tell you something...I am not nothing!" *wack* "I am not useless!" *wack* "Im not afraid of you anymore!" *wack* "Im tired of hiding and being afraid im not doing it anymore.!"*wack* "I didn't ask to be born!"* wack* "You wanna know what I am?! Im is a lot better than you. Will ever be!"*wack* "im a reaper and you know what? I could never be happier!"*wack* "id rather be here than where I was. Im treated like a person here."*wack*"I have friends that care!" *wack* I start crying from the anger I had built-up for a moment. That quickly turns into menacingly laughing. "And another thing. I've done more than you think. I've helped my friends. Saved them even. Unlike you, they care". *wack*"All you know how to do is beat me." *wack* "I know some of it was. my fault. But I didn't deserve the treatment you gave"! *wack* " now it's my turn! Rot in double hell".*wack* "I hope it's worse than this one! I regret none of this!" * wack* "How does it feel to be on the other end?" I hack away more until he's no more. I stand up and drop my scythe on the floor panting a bit before starting to cry. "Im really free now," I said. Caio holds me and brings me to the couch to sit. We stay like this for a little bit.
