Chapter 1: The BookA Chapter by Emily Part 2 to 'The Grim Reapers Kids"! **DO NOT read this if you haven't read The Grim Reapers Kids part 1. The link to it is in the authors note. I also recommend you read the backstories too. The smoke had cleared. And there was, The Grim Reaper. Just reading his book. They were all back at the same place they had started. They were back at, The Reapers house. Back at the place they lived at for years. Not heaven. They all looked at each other, Looking for answers. "Aelwyn, why are we here, and not in heaven?" asked Alec. "I-I have no clue," said Aelwyn, upset. "Welcome back," said The Grim Reaper, Not even looking up from his book. "This isn't funny!" yelled Felix. Felix was furious. He kept most of his anger inside, But you could tell, He was on fire, On the inside. Luna fell to her knees. "I just want to go to heaven! That's all I want!" A tear left her eye. Alec was even madder than Felix. "What the f**k do you think you're doing!" he screamed. "Relax Alec," said Grim, who was very calm. "I've had enough!" hollered Alec. While Alec was roaring at The Grim Reaper, Ryder felt numb. 'Why' was all he could think. He felt paralyzed. Ryder was in shock. Here he thought heaven was only a staircase away, But no, it was only the place he tried to get away from. Aelwyn was crying her eyes out. "I what to see Nicole!" she sobbed. She was mad at herself. Why did she believe that his wand was really going to bring them to heaven? Why did she believe anything that Grim Reaper said? Ryder went to go help Luna up. "It's going to be ok, Luna." "No, it's not! I want to be free d****t," Luna cried out. Ryder got her to stand up, but she was still crying a little. Alec just would not get off of The Grim Reaper's case He was calling him every name out there, And The Reaper was taking it. He just kept reading his book. Then Alec stopped and took 2 steps back. "You knew, didn't you?" Alec asked, calmly. "What do you mean?" said Reaper while turning the page. "You knew we were going to be back," said Alec. He looked up from his book. "Yes," he confirmed as he took a sip of his coffee. Everyone stop and looked at him. "Why?" asked Aelwyn, "why would you want to hurt us like this?" "I knew you five would try to get away, so a test was done." He stopped and smiled at Felix. Felix looked to the ground using every muscle in his body not to punch him. "So, I gave Aelwyn the wand to throw you guys off, and it worked." "You f*****g traitor!" swore Alec, rolling up his hands into fists. Grim looked down to his book and took a drink of his coffee. "Is this coffee bitter?" he says then takes another drink. "No, it must be you." "You son of a," said Alec, walking over ready to fight, But Luna pulled him back. "Stop it, Alec," she said. "Save that anger, boy, you'll need it later," noted Reaper. "What?" asked Alec. "What do you mean later?" questioned Luna. The Grim Reaper ignored the questions. He looked back into his book. He began to read some names out of it. "Wren Alexandria Bradford," he said, "I remember her." "Who is she?" asked Luna. Again, Grim did not answer. "Wren was only 2 months old when I met her, passed away from underdeveloped lungs." He stopped and smiled for a minute, and continued reading. "She didn't stay for long at all, only a week. She was from Jackson, Mississippi." "What does she have anything to do with this?" asked Ryder. "Theodorus Paul Hatcher, heat stroke got him when he was only 8 months old." Ryder looked at Felix and whispered, "what is he talking about?" Felix shrugged his shoulders. "He was from Vermont," continued Grim. "Oh, Ellie Faith Collins. She was never born." "Never born?" questioned Luna. "Her mother was kidnapped when she was only 8 months pregnant. She was from Maryland." "Grim, how does this have anything to do with us?" asked Ryder again. The Grim Reaper continued: "Alroy Clarence Madison," he proceeded. "Died of SIDS at only 2 weeks old, he was from Utah." "I've had enough of your games, Reaper," protested Alec, But again he carried on. "Oh I remember her!" smiled The Reaper. "Adelaide Lillian Miles, poor girl, she was poisoned." "By who?" asked Aelwyn. Grim continued to ignore them. "Addie was 7 weeks old at the time, she's a Delaware baby." "Who are all these babies he's talking about?" asked Luna to Alec. "No clue," he answered. "Cottus Andrew Ulrich; another one that was never born, well kind of, if you count stillborn." "Wow," whispered Aelwyn. "From Ozark, Missouri." "Can we get on to the real subject here, please?" said Felix who was getting bored. "Let us move on to the teams of teens," said The Grim Reaper. "What? I am so confused, where is he getting this?" asked Felix. "Group A28, we got: Farley Parker, Brawley Fisher, Genesis Smith, Garroway Coleman, and Virginia Olson." "Virginia died of shark attack and Garroway passed from lightning strike, but none of them died of the same thing, That’s how I pair these groups up." "Dude, is he going crazy?" asked Felix. "You see I can have as little as 3 in a group and as big as 8. Group A85 is one of my bigger groups." "That's it, he's crazy!" finalized Felix. "Let's see, we got Ursulina McCullough, Eusebius Cacy, Zurine Hull, Oenomaus Clure, Perdix Coache, Zetes Mac, Orquidia Melendez, and Rydia Frost." "Wow, that's a big group," said Aelwyn. "Oenomaus was poisoned, Rydia was a suicide." He stopped and looked at Aelwyn. She was about ready to cry when she heard the words 'suicide'. But he continued on: "And Zetes, he was dragged by car." "What a dumbass," said Felix. "He was tortured," corrected Grim. "Oh," responded Felix, feeling a little embarrassed. "Ok, Reaper let's move on," said Ryder. Aelwyn interrupted, "Wait, hold on, are we a group?" Grim looked up from the book. "You are a smart girl, Aelwyn," he smiled and closed the book. "Yes, yes you are." "So, if Virginia's group is A28 and Rydia's is A85. What's our group number?" request Aelwyn. "What a very good question, it's A44." "How do you know that?" inquire Luna. "You're in my book." And sure enough, they were. Page 46 was Felix, Page 47 was Alec, Page 48 was Luna, Page 51 was Ryder, And page 52 was Aelwyn. The book was all black. In white words on the cover where 'The Grim Reaper's Book of Souls'. The book was about an inch and a half thick. There were 3 tabs sticking out; The first one marking all 100 babies, The second marking all 520 teens, And the third was marking 20 of the adults, These were all the souls Grim had ever met. Aelwyn noticed the boy Below her; Soren Brent Exline Age:18 Death: Murdered Date: March 15, 1998 Lives: West Columbia, West Virginia Group: A46 She pointed to it. "Who murdered him?" "The police never found out, and if they don't find out, neither do I." "It's only the year 1995, how could you have him in here if he's not going to die till 1998?" asked Ryder. "Time is no such thing here, I can make all five of you go back to 1983 if I want, or 2024. And, I also have his future soul." "When why did I have to wait so long to get everyone here?" asked Felix. "To you it was slow, to me, it was fast" responded Reaper. "Why is there blood all over the book?" question Luna. "Oh yes, that brings me back. Her name was Bridget Shaw." "Who?" asked Felix. "Look her up, she's on page 74" suggested Grim. Bridget Grace Shaw Age:18 Death: Murdered by brother Date: January 28, 1996 Lives: Oak Ridge, Tennessee Group: "Why are those groups crossed off?" pointed Aelwyn. "She was trouble" he wailed "She could never get along with anyone in her groups." "How did she end up staying in group A71 then?" asked Ryder. "She liked Emmalyn Dickinson, but that didn't stop her from going bat s**t crazy." "So, she was crazy?" asked Aelwyn. Grim pointed to the cause of death. "Her brother, she protected him and loved him but after someone she loved so much hurt her so badly, She just could not except she was dead." "But the blood marks?" asked Ryder. "Why are we being so nice to this guy!" yelled Alec, who was getting madder by the minute. Luna elbowed him, "Shut-up!" then, she whispered, "He might let us go to heaven if were nice." He nodded his head and stepped back. "That’s when she went crazy," continued The Reaper, "she cut herself and tried to ruin the most important thing to me." The Reaper signed and smiled, "but I just think it adds character." "I let her go to heaven after that, there was no way she could do the quest with the other teens." "That brings me to the point of having you guys here," he smirked. "You five need to get some souls for me, if you think Preston Teller was hard, you're really going to be in for it." © 2016 EmilyAuthor's Note
