Prologue: All hope lost
There was blood everywhere, in all 247 years as a Shinigami; Grell had never seen so much blood, and the bodies of his friends and comrades were everywhere.
As he tried to get up and stumble over to the motionless body of his closest friend, Grell pulled the scythe out of Williams back and threw it across the Library. "Will wake up, please wake up, I know you, you wouldn't let yourself die by the hands of a demon let alone one welding your own scythe, PLEASE WILL, WAKE UP!" Grell yelled to the now lifeless body in his arms through his frantic sobs, tears falling freely down his face.
"Just wake up, I don't know what to do without you… I need you Will!" After what seemed like forever Grell placed William's body back down and got up to look around for any other survivors.

"Grell I'm going to ask you why there is blood all over you and why I heard screaming coming from the room you just left and your answer better not cause me over time, because if it does, I'm confiscating your Scythe again." William said rubbing his temples ring to rid himself of the migraine forming.
"Jinx started it! I only finished what she had begun, and before you ask No she is not dead, she just won't be around to cause me any problems for, oh, about a week or two." Grell replied crossing his arms over his chest.
With a long sigh Will turned away from Grell and over to the aforementioned door where small whimpers could be heard coming from. "I know I'm gonna regret asking this, but what did she do this time?"
"Basically the same as always, which I can ignore normally, but the bitch started in on Alan and had him on the verge of tears again and I'd already had enough of her shit for one day. So I slapped her and she flung her scythe at me and well… long story short Jinx needs to learn not to mess with me if she values her life, because next time, I won't go easy on her." William didn't like the look in Grell's eye so decided not to disturb the peace and just get a medic to fix up the younger Shinigami and send Grell back to his work.

"Hey Eric, how's Alan? I was too busy kicking Jinx into the wall to see how was when he left the room." Grell asked sitting on the edge of his friends' desk.
Eric turned to face Grell as he came up. "Oh hey Grell, um dunno, he seemed a little upset but he didn't say anything, why? What happened?"
"Ah not much, just Jinx being her regular homo-foe bitch of a self, but don't worry I put her in her place. Which so happens to be on the floor in a pool of blood." The last part was said with a cruel laugh.
The two fell into a nice silent for about fifteen minutes before the blaring of sirens began to fill the office, and panic began to spread throughout the office, nobody knew what the alarm meant until cold blood chilling screams began to be heard from the Library, Grell and Eric both summoned there death scythes and headed to the door along with many other Shinigami.

'Demons! There are Demons in the Library, they found a way in and they were trying to wipe us out!' Was William's last coherent thought before he summoned his scythe and began to engage combat with the invading demons.
Bodies on both sides began to fall at a rapid pace as the Demons had finally gotten their hands on the death scythes of fallen Shinigami.
Screams of pain and anguish filled the air as scythes clashed with claws and the Library became a bloodied battleground.
William could hear the roar of Grell chain saw and see his bright red hair from across the Library, and in a few quick bounds was behind the other male and had taken out the Demon who was about to attack Grell from behind, "Watch your back Sutcliff. What if I hadn't got here in time?"
"Sorry Will. DUCK!" as the words let Grell's mouth he swan his scythe at another Demon trying to attack them from behind, "Yah' know if you're gonna yell at me make sure you don't repeat my actions."
"Less talking, more reaping, Sutcliff!" Will said extending his scythe and killing three demons, before hearing an all too familiar scream reach his ears. "GRELL!"
When will turned around he saw a demon leaning over Grell's motionless body, before the demon could land a finishing blow William's scythe was extended and strait through its head.
William ran over to Grell and dropped his scythe for a moment to check and see if the other reaper was still alive, Grell's pulse was so fain he barely misses it but it was still there, but Will's relief was short lived as he realized his Scythe was no longer next to him.
As William turned his head he came face to face with a demon that was holding his Scythe "Bye bye, little reaper." And with those words the demon stabbed him in the back.
Present moment
As Grell made his was down the huge hallways that lead to Kami's [1] room he began to hear small sobs and muttered words of apology.
The closer he got to the slightly aggrade door the clearer the voice on the other side became. "Oh Claudia, [2] I'm sorry… I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you, or them, oh my dear Claudia why, why did this have to happen again?"
Peking in on the floor what Grell saw made his already broken heart shatter all over again, in the middle of the huge room the Undertaker was kneeling on the ground holding the lifeless body of a woman with long white hair and silver glasses.
"Undertaker? They got Kami too, didn't they…?" For the first time in centuries, Undertaker's eyes were on full view and the sadness Grell saw in them told him it was true the goddess of the Grim Reapers was dead, and with that realization Grell lot all hope of finding another living soul in the whole Library, because if Kami was dead then all hope was truly lost.
All right so what do you think? Like it hate it? Want to read chapter 1 tell me what you think.
Okay so Descend into Darkness is a 3 part series I'm going to me working on this is the prologue for the first part called "Descend into Darkness" (Duh!) an I'm expecting it to only be about 5-6 chapters, then there will be part two called "A new Light" (might change) witch will be around 4-8 chapters and then to end to it the series will be part three called "Out of the Dark" witch will only be 2-4 chapters.
It is set about 10-15 years after the events of Kurotshitsuji II so Ceil is a demon and Sabby-chan is his eternal bitch
[1] – Kami is the Japanese god of the dead, and well I decided to use her.
[2]And the name Claudia in the manga Undertaker has a locket with the name Claudia on it and well even tho were not exactly sure who she is I've seen many others make her an old lover and well because the idea fits into this fic I'm using it
