I was driving home on a rather nasty April night. It was frightfully chilly and I was stuck in a downpour.
"Ahh. I can't wait until I get home so I can fix myself some nice hot tea." I said to nobody in particular. I was really looking forward to getting home and I was surely in no mood to be going back out. It was quite hard to see very far ahead of me.
When I walked inside I heard a huge crash and a wail.
"Oh Rin! Come here quick!" My mother was screaming hysterically. I half ran half fell u the stairs trying to get to my mother. When I had reached the landing I almost collapsed. There was a large puddle of blood and my little brother lay not saying a word.
"what happened?" I said, not realizing that I was screaming.
"The whole glass cabinet fell on top of him and your father is at work with my car. You need to drive him to the hospital, Now!" My mother was yelling as well. I didn't say a word as I scooped up my little brother and ran out the door.
I was in the house for only 5 minutes but the storm had gotten much worse. The winds and rains picked up. I strapped Charles in the back seat and I covered him up with a blanket. I then hopped in the car and sped off as fast as I could for the hospital.
When I turned the corner of my street the headlights and windshield wipers of my car mysteriously stopped working. I then heard a sweet calm male voice.
"You belong with me now" the voice had said.
I should have been scared. I should have been scared for me and Charles, but I wasn't. All I could think about was that voice and how it had soothed me.
"Don't worry Rin. Everything will be okay soon" The voice whispered again.
Just then a bright light flashed in my eyes and I was back to reality. But it was too late. I heard a crash and a blood curdling scream that turned out to be my own. Then all I saw was darkness.
"Hello! I have been waiting for you." Said the same voice that I had heard earlier.
"What? Where am I? Where is Charles? Is my mom okay?" I was screaming again.
"Please calm down my lady. I can only answer so many questions at once."
"Alright then. Where is Charles?"
"Charles is okay. There is just one thing."
"what!"
"He is paralyzed from waist down."
"What? You call that okay?" I was sobbing now
"There there my lady. It's alright. He ended up making it out of that crash better than you…well…to a human that is."
"What? I don't understand? How? I feel my legs just fine? What's wrong with me?"
"Again with the many questions." The voice chuckled. "You My lady, are dead."
"huh? What?"
"Yes. Now I have to go. Enjoy talking with a reaper. But rest assured nobody is going to steal you away from me."
"Wait! I don't understand! Why do I have to talk to a reaper?"
There was no answer. But then all of a sudden a tall man with long hair ending just before his knees approached me.
"who are you?" I said with a snarl
"Why I am Grell Sutcliff." The man said with a smile
"Well I think that your clothes are quite funny."
"who are you to talk?"
"Well what the hell are you anyway? You just show up here looking crazy and holding a bloody chainsaw. Any normal person would have ran away scared senseless."
"You see I am a grim reaper. I was there for your death. I was going to let you live, but Darling Sebby would be terribly angry…and…"
"WAIT! So it was YOU who killed me!"
"No my dear. You have it all wrong. I watch your cinematic record, and then I harvest your soul using my death scythe. This is your blood you know."
"Um…Alright. Well who is your darling Sebby?"
"Oh you'll find out soon enough. Now be careful don't let yourself get too attached because Sebby is mine." He blew me a kiss and was about to leave. But he turned back around.
"By the way dear, I never got your name."
"Rin Magome"
"Ah. Very Pretty. Goodbye" And he was gone again.
I sat in the poorly lit room very confused. I was wondering when I would be able to meet this "sebby" person.
"Well hello My lady. You're just a few steps away from a life with me." Said that now familiar voice
"A life with you? What do you mean?"
"You will see. I just have a few things to take care of."
"No! Stop it with that. I want answers now!" I snapped
"Alright. Ask me anything you please"
"Well first who is Sebby?"
"Sebby? Ah I see you have met Grell. He insists on calling me that but I don't approve. My Real name is Sebastian Michaelis. It is a pleasure to meet you."
I looked up and saw a tall slender man in a tailcoat. His pale skin and Jet black hair glowed in the dim light. His eyes were a sharp scarlet. They were scary yet beautiful all at the same time. He was the most handsome man I had ever seen. I grabbed his hand and firmly shook it.
"Oh S-Sebastian is it?"
"Yes?" He said with a devilish grin on his face
"What are you?" I asked abounding childish
"Well I am a demon."
"A demon! But what would you want with me?"
"Oh Rin. You are simply perfect."
"Perfect for what?"
"Soon my lady. Soon you will know."
"Wait. But what does Grell have to do with this?"
"He really doesn't. I just needed the help of a reaper to make sure that you didn't live."
"I'm not going to ask."
"That would probably be for the best My lady."
He then left once again. I eagerly waited for Sebastian to return. I was quite attracted to this demonic man.
