Follow the reaper
Chapter 3
“GREY GREY GREY GREY GREY GREY GREY” punches the tree. “Sooooooooooo bland, so booooooooooring” shouts a person with a psychopathic look on his face. Long black hair. Long fangs, just like a vampire. Big clothes, around two sizes, too big. “Hihihihihi” he notices a person. He licks his lips from excitement. He starts humming Hush little baby don’t say a word while sneaking up on a person nearby. He takes out his pocket knife and slits the walkers' throat. Blood starts to pour around since the artery has been broken. The prey grabs his neck, tries to hold in his red liquid, but it’s worthless attempt, since, for a moment, he sees a bright light coming into his eye. The hunter stabs dead mans’ eye and starts his dance of joy around the dead fallen body. “RED RED RED RED RED REEEEEEEEEEED” screams out of joy, but suddenly, a sharp pain. Psycho looks at his chest. Hole. Small little bullet hole. He turns around…
ONE YEAR AGO
* Wait, Miss Morrison, tell me now! I can’t wait for tomorrow! – shouts our dear protagonist after the hot teacher decides to go out. Miss Morrison takes Dannys' head off her lap, looks at him with a God help me face.
* Okay, - she sighs and rubs her eyes- I’m so lazy today, but okay. I will not tell you completely your identity because you have to find it yourself. What I can tell you is that you experienced death, but since you are not human, that young body of yours is still alive, and the form that you have right now is your spirit form. I could call it a soul, but… - she stops – let’s just say it your soul.
* HOW DID I FACE DEATH? – shouts Danny from fright.
* Oh, that thing that happened on graduation was real, - she starts laughing- you should have seen your face.
Danny freezes. He remembered the start of all this mess again. The dreams were just a different variation of him dying. (HAHAHAHA DIES IN CHAPTER 1, amazing story what can I say) He looks at his right arm. It seems to be intact and well. (My god Danny why would you check it now if you clearly know its fine after all those lonely nights? You’re a young adult Danny God dammit….). Our hero takes a deep breath. Breaths out.
* Go on,- he looks at his beloved teacher, the first time in all this time with a serious look. It feels, that something inside of him has changed. ( DID HE MAN UP?)
* What can I say? Hmmm,-teacher scratches her elbow,- I’m just gonna say that I’m a demon. Yes yes, there are demons and angels and God damn God. My partner is a guy called Lucifer. He’s pretty cool dude compared to God. Basically, it’s an ongoing fight who will take over the living world and control it. But then there is Grim Reaper. That dude is ruthless. He doesn’t care who you are and what you did in life. All he sees is your name and his list. If you are on it – he will hunt you. I’ve put you on the list myself since we can ask The mister Reaper once in five hundred years, who we want dead. Both us – demons also known by some as devils and angels, representers of God, wanted you dead, but as you can see our attempt has failed.
* Wait, wait, wait, - Danny looks at a woman with confusion,- you wanted… to kill me?
* Well I was the one who had to keep watch on you, and we decided to dispose of you after your graduation since you were useless that whole time, but seriously, boy, I’m gonna go, I have more plans at the moment. I’ll find you later.
Miss Morrison stood up, and just went out of dudes house as fast as she could. Now Danny was all alone. ( that edgy feel is annoying isn't it? Just imagine a monkey riding a space shuttle in the middle of the galaxy while dancing macarena and being on fire. Now that’s better. Back to our edgy protagonist). After about of an hour of sitting and trying to understand his teachers' words, the meaning, the message behind them, he finally stands up from the couch. Opens his front door and steps outside. It’s a sunny day, around 24 degrees celsius. ( yes I use celsius and not the royal old school system you use). Everything seems to be normal. A simple casual day outside. Since it’s summer break, many kids are playing in the street. Danny lived in a circle block of houses, all the kids from the block knew each other and tried to spend time outside with each other ( unlike you, you, you no-lifer). The soul decides to walk around his neighbourhood. “It’s all… normal… nothing different”, a quick thought hits his mind and Danny is right. He steps out of his neighbourhood. He lived quite far from the city centre, but since he was deep in thoughts he just walked, walked and walked. The centre is right around the corner. He can see tall skyscrapers and the amount of people being around is five times more than it was.

Suddenly a young childs' scream. No one cares. No one hears. No one sees anything. Only Danny noticed it. Without even thinking, he runs to the direction of the scream. Scream even higher. “Oh nooo”. Scream. He sees a wooden 2-metre fence. “Here?” Danny climbs over it. Silence. Not a single person in the closed-off territory. Only a wooden old house, made out of brown planks. The roof. Broken. Doors? Open. Danny silently walks in. Darkness. Not a single sign of light. He hears footsteps. Protagonist turns around. Dog. But how does Danny know and see it? Eyes. Glowing blood red colour. Fur. Black. White teeth. By the look, sharp as a saw.
* Good boy, stay calm, I won’t hurt you. – Danny said as he saw the dog.
The dog started growling. It came closer. Heroe stepped back. Scared. Loud barking. Aggressive attack position. Suddenly it starts running towards Danny and jumps with a face ready to bite. Without thinking Danny protects his face with the right hand. The teeth suck in. Blood starts pouring like a fountain. One. Two. Five teeth sucked into his arm. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH” Danny screams out of pain. “Blue”. His heart pumps hard. “Blue”. Closes eyes. “Blue”. Opens eyes. The glow with a neon blue colour. Aura pouring out of them. “Blue”. His heart pumps again. Demonic dog takes teeth put and jumps away looking at… him. “Blue” His nails grow 3 centimetres longer. His arm. Transforming. “Blue” His right arm from fingers to elbow was transformed. No longer that was a humans arm. Skin. Not humans. It was made out of scales. Blue and Violet ones. In the middle where the blood was pouring and touching the skin after the bite, it was glowing neon blue just like the eyes. Nails. Started to glow in the same colour too. He pulls up his head. “Kill” Deep growl in his head. “Kill” Slowly starts to walk towards the demon. “Kill” It steps backwards. It saw the mistake. Dog new, this is the last day. Suddenly, Danny appears in front of the demon, holding the dog up by its’ neck, choking demons’ life out. A quick smash to the ground as a touchdown on a field of football. Up. Down. Up. Down. Danny repeated the same action until the head was all over the room. Now. An old abandoned house was filled with blood. The only light was the new strange blue light coming out of Danny. “Kill”. He steps out. “Kill”.
* KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILL!!!- he screams with all the might and smashes random person in the face. Random walker of the street flies for 20 metres until he hits the tree and all of his bones are crushed. Tree falls. Dead on sight.
Click. Danny turns normal. His hand is back to the same human hand that he had before. Eyes are back to normal.
* Huh? Where did the scream of the kid go? – he runs off deeper into the city, but after few steps he falls.
* You shall be judged for your sins.
Black. Emptiness. Soul disconnected from the world. Imagine yourself in pitch black where you can’t see anything. NOTHING. White. White light upon Danny. The only thing you can see is him.
Well damn. Did you expect that turn? HAHAHA I mean, he was a wuss and bam, a bad ass with mega powers. Thing is, me the narrator, is kinda sick, you know so I need to take a rest. I should be better in a week. See ya.
