Chapter 4: Abuse

Grell woke up the next morning, feeling better since her Grim Reaper body has been constructed to quickly heal from any thing like blood loss. She looked around and realized she was on a bed, with a white blanket neatly placed on her, keeping her nice and warm. She sat up and looked around, and knew that she must be in one of the guest rooms. Her red jacket was hanging from one of the coat hangers in the room, and her heels where placed on the floor next to the bed. The sun was shining, and it seemed like a very nice day…but it was not.

The Grim Reaper jumped out of her bed when she heard the wheels of a carriage from outside. She looked out of the glass window from the second floor and saw the three servants…waving and crying. Grell then saw a carriage, and saw Sebastian and Ciel was inside it. "Wait Sebastian!" Grell saw the carriage on a road, that let to what looked like a forest. As the carriage went in to the forest, it disappeared. Grell quickly got her shoes on and threw her jacket on herself and dashed down the stairs and out the door, running as fast as she can up the road the carriage went. She didn't care if the servants saw her, she just wanted to say a proper good bye to Sebastian.

The Grim Reaper fell to her knees in the middle of the road in tears. She sniffled and tried not to cry any more, as she got out her mini mirror from her pocket and started to put on her make up neatly. 'Don't worry Grell…you will see Sebastian again…and besides, you still have William~' She kept saying that to herself and managed to stop the tears. "I will miss you greatly Sebastian…but I know we will meet some time in our eternal life.." She stood up after finishing her make up, and put it away in her pockets.

That day, Grell had tried her best to stay positive and always have a smile on, and be funny even if she was hurting inside…it did make her feel better at that moment, but her pain and sadness was piling up inside her and she felt like it was going to burst out one day..she didn't know when…but some day..

Grell made it back to the Grim Reaper Realm, and she walked through the gates and in to the work building. Every thing about this place was normal…just like every day. She suddenly started to hear whispering and rustling from the other Grim Reapers in the building. As Grell walked down the halls, most of the Grim Reapers where glaring at her almost in disgust and holding there noses. Grell sniffed the air but smelled nothing. Just then she stopped, hearing her name being called from behind.

"..G..Grell Senpai?!" It was Ronald Knox. Grell turned around, whipping her crimson hair back and then she put on a fake smile, that almost every one fell for. "Ronnie! I need to thank you for…every thing!" Ronald smiled, but was also holding his nose. "I'm glad your safe, Senpai~!" Grell smiled, but looked around curiously at every one else in the hall and then back at Ronald. "Why is every one holding their noses? I can't seem to smell any thing..", Ronald sighed as he handed her the to-die list for the day. "This is yours, and I think you should get out of here, I think there is a demon here…its very close." Grell looked around in excitement. "Maybe its-"

"Sebastian Michealis!" Someone had finished Grell's sentence it was surprisingly Will! Will looked shocked and angry at the same time.

Will was pointing his Death Scythe at Grell from behind, and Grell once again turned around, now having her back on Ronald.. There where two other Grim Reapers beside Will who had there Death Scythe's with them as well. "May I have a word with you in my office?" William grabbed Grell's wrist and dragged her in to his office as the door slammed shut. The other two Grim Reapers guarded the door just in case Grell tried to escape. Ronald was told to continue with his work, but some thing was wrong…that demonly scent… it was coming from Grell.

Will threw Grell against the wall and Grell yelped as her back hit the hard wall. She fell on the floor and William had locked the door. "What did you do?! This whole place smells like demon, and every one can not seem to find the demon…and you know demons aren't allowed in this building?! Not only that but the smell seems to be coming from you! Also you didn't even tell Ronald you where ok yesterday!" William smacked her face and it left a red mark on her cheek. Will was furious, he knew Grell would smell a little like a demon after he came back from visiting Sebastian, but today the smell was so strong, and it wasn't going away.

Grell looked up at Will, her eyes starting to water again. "I..I went to see Sebas-chan..and.." Will kicked her stomach, that nearly sent her flying to the other side of the room. Grell cried, and looked up at Will. She was mostly crying because she knew she would never see Sebastian again, and also because of the pain. "But I still have you Willy~" She smiled and hugged his leg.

"What did you let that demon do to you?! Did he put his scent on you?!" Grell shook her head and looked up at Will. "We only kissed! He mostly kissed me on the neck, but that's all we did, is there any thing wrong with kissing?" Will looked suspiciously at Grell and then pointed to the collar of her white shirt... That had a red stain on it. "What is that then? It is your blood isn't it?…You let that demon drink your blood didn't you?! That's how he put his scent on you…" Will looked very angry, and Grell looked very shocked. She knew how many times Will had told her about demons trying to get a taste of Grim Reaper blood…and about the whole 'marking' thing… 'is that why Sebastian did that? For his stomach's satisfaction?' The red haired reaper looked down at the ground, as her eyes started to water. "It wasn't love..?"

'"You disgust me… you have always disgusted me! You are a disgrace to all the Grim Reapers Sutcliff!" Will punched her head and sent her on the ground. Grell was shaking, having trouble sit up as she put a smile on her face. "..S..such cold eyes…I love you Willy~" She smiled as Will swung his Death Scythe at Grell, making a cut on her cheek. "You first let a demon drink your blood, and then let a demon mark you….now that is against the rules Sutcliff! Demons are our enemies!"

"Oh but he was such a good kisser Willy~" Will then punched her right eye, causing a black eye. Grell whimpered…she had so many mixed feelings, she was sad, angry, in love and in pain. Her glasses where broken, and Will was very pissed off at this point. She didn't know what to do, so she just sat there and let Will beat the crap out of her.

"Sutcliff, I think pain is the best way to learn." Will said, fixing his glasses and grabbing his Death Scythe. "I have to report every thing you did, and you Sutcliff are to get rid of that smell! And cover up your eye with your hair." Will slammed the door, leaving Grell on the office floor all battered up. It was sunset, her blood stained the walls and the carpet, her glasses where broken. Blood dripped from her head and from her mouth. She sat up and simply smiled. "Oh Willy…he always has to be strict doesn't he~" Grell covered her black eye with her hair and buttoned up her jacket so no one would see the red blood stains on her white shirt. She stood up with some difficulty, and left her to-die list still scattered on the floor in Will's office, and walked down the empty halls. "He could be just jealous.." Grell giggled, mentally becoming insane. She was thinking positive again, when she was in so much pain. She picked up her Death Scythe from the counter, which she had left yesterday before leaving to see Sebastian, and headed out the building.

Grell lived in Madame Red's mansion…alone. It was abandoned now, and only one room was being used so most of the place was dusty and filled with bugs.

Grell walked through the dark and cold streets of London. It was foggy and raining a little. She dragged along her Death Scythe and she was looking down. She finally arrived to a very quiet place where no one was to be seen or heard.

"Sebastian doesn't love me…and I will never see him again…Will hates me…more then any thing for what I have done…and Its funny how I just realized I was always alone…Spending all day killing people, and resting, killing people again, doing paper work, and resting again…it was the same thing every day….there is no point to living like this for eternity…No meaning to my life…no one will care any way!" She laughed as tears fell down her cheeks. The rain got heavier and she sat down on the ground and started up her chainsaw. "It's time to leave…this burden.." She slowly moved it closer to her heart, but she paused when she stopped feeling the raindrops fall on her. It was raining…but she didn't feel any thing. She looked up to see an umbrella being held over her head.

"What brings you here m'lady?" Grell saw that it was Undertaker. He bent down, and was holding the Umbrella over her head. Grell stopped her chainsaw and wiped away her tears. "W..what are you doing here?!" Grell was shocked…she had never spent a lot of time with Undertaker but she did know him. "This is one of the places I work at." Undertaker said with his usual smile. Grell looked around and realized she was sitting in a graveyard. Undertaker let out a hand to help her up. "Would you care to come over for some teaa?" Grell knew the rain was getting worse, and it was very late. She still had a mile to go until she would make it to her 'home", but then again, she was never intending to still be alive. With all these injuries she knew she probably wouldn't be able to walk that much any way. She nodded and took Undertaker's hand, but as soon as she stood up she fell right in to his arms. She had fainted and was unconscious. Undertaker quickly stopped her from falling and frowned. "Oh my.."
