Chael walks down the hallway in the Grim Castle when something caught his nose. A stench that rushes into his nose, the most horrible smell he had ever come across, that happened to come from the kitchen. He walks into the huge dining room and pushes through the door, leading him a giant green smoke that covers the space. Chael rush to the window, letting it out. When the room becomes clearer, he could make out a figure, happened to belong to Belle. Her whole body was coving in chocolate from head to toe.
Chael
[Crossing his arms] What on earth are you doing here, Belle?
Belle
Baking pizza.
Chael
[Lift one eyebrow] With chocolate?
Belle
Yes. Mommy would always be added chocolate. I want to eat pizza, so I came here to make it.
Chael
Why did you not ask for any assistance?
Belle
I tried, but no one would. Most of them avoided me or went straight suicidal, and it's strange that they're undead. [Cross her arms and puff her cheeks] They're kind of annoying. Why should I ask for an assistant?
Chael
[Nervously laugh while rubbing his head] Oh...I see... I think I'll talk to the employees. But first, [Pull Belle off from the floor] you need a bath. A good long bath.
Belle
But, but, I'm fine...
Chael
No can do. [Pushing Belle out of the kitchen and heading to the bathroom] It's my father castle, and I can't let you dirty it. Now, off to the tub.
Chael manages to get Belle into the tub while scrubbing her hair. Belle made a face that she dislike the feeling of being clean, but she had to withstand for Chael. It took an hour to had her fully clean. The chocolate was everywhere which was hard to scrub it off. Chael takes her to his room, pulling out the emergency clothes he had stored.
Chael
[Search through the closet] What do you want to wear? [Present two types of clothes] A dress, or a t-shirt and short.
Belle
Something like yours.
Chael
Belle, our size is different. It won't fit you.
Belle
[Puppy eyes] Please...
Chael
[Sigh] Okay, get my needles and scissors. [Belle runs to one of his desks and get a box out from the drawer. She hurries back then push it in front of him] Thank you. [Grab the box] You, [Point at Belle] sit on that bed and don't move. [Point at his bed]
Belle
Okay.
Belle runs to the bed as she drives into the blanket then crawl out from the below of the bed. She hum as Chael rip his clothes and stitch it together again by making it smaller. He makes it identical to him by adding a skirt. When it was finished, he went up to Belle and present it to her.
Chael
I'm finished. Come down from the bed and try it on.
Belle
[Get off the bed and put on the clothes] It fit. [Twirl around]
Chael
Good. [Smile] I'll have your clothes clean before you leave.
They left out of his room, going back to the kitchen. Chael would choose to order a maid to clean the kitchen, but he wants to do it instead because he had time to spear. He pulls Belle to help out too. She hates cleaning as she grumbles while grabbing a scrub. It takes them two or three hours to finally clean the kitchen. They were going to put the tools back when someone crashes through one of the four big windows. The glass sprinkle to little bits on the floor.
Chael
What is it now? [Saw who it is when he made a face] Oh, it's you.
Belle
Akia! [Run and hug her] Why are you here?
Akia
To see you. Oh my gosh. [Squish Belle face] You had grown more beautiful every time I see you.
Chael
Where's Handsome?
Akia
He's coming, with two new friends.
Handsome
Hey, you cheated. [The three look up and saw that he was on a hoverboard. Come after him from behind was two other girls] You take advantage to be here first because Blair and Liz don't know where's the Grim Castle was. Also, sports and tech isn't my strong subject.
Akia
It's not my fault you three are slow. I didn't start the game in the first place.
Chael
[Whisper beside Akia] You're just jealous.
Akia
[Give him a full look at the face then smile] Sharp, aren't you?
Chael
Okay then, [Clap his hands to get their attention] the window is broken and glass is on the floor. I want the floor clean and the window replace.
Blair
We didn't break your dumb window. Why order us clean the mess?
Handsome
Blair, he's the son of the Grim Reaper, the owner of the place.
Blair
Like I care. He doesn't look like the son of the Grim Reaper. His body isn't a skeleton. [Chael eyes went wide then look at himself] You just notice you're not a skeleton? Well, I'll say, I feel almost pity for you.
Belle
Shut up! You don't know him!
Blair
Oh I do, he isn't the son of the Grim Reaper. He's a fake!
Belle
[Angry] You...
Chael
Belle, it's fine. She's a brat. Without her doesn't mean the world end, or erase the whole universe. Now, get a broom from the closet.
Belle
[Bit her her lip then nod] Okay. [Head the closet]
Akia
[Shrug] Like Blair said, who broke it will clean it. Hey, Belle, grab me one too.
Blair, Liz, and Handsome lands their hoverboard on the ground. The hoverboards, belong to Liz, was given back to her, sucking them in her wristband. Liz stares in amaze at Akia.
Liz
Woah, so mature. She didn't fuze one bit.
Handsome
[Mumble] If only you knew her age.
Liz
Huh, [Look at Handsome] did you say something?
Handsome
Nothing. [Take a step to assist the clean] I'm going to help them.
Liz
Okay, we'll...stand here, and watch. [Peer at Blair then back at the mess] How did you meet Handsome?
Blair
He's my uncle. My dad and his brothers were adopted by grandpa. Grandpa were enemies to mom and my two aunts, they're still are. Handsome isn't that bad, must be the close age.
Liz
Family issues, been through that. What about Akia?
Blair
She's...no, I first met Akia when 'it' was in the form of a boy. Didn't went well. We fought, took the whole PowerRuff Kids to bring it down.
Liz
[Face went pale] You guys are really rough.
Blair
You think? However, Akia is my distant relative. Really disappointed.
Liz was right, Blair really has a family issue. Must mean the reason why she always put in a strong act. She needs friend or someone to be there. Lightbulb shine over her head, maybe she will be that person. After a few minutes passed, the floor was clean and Chael replaces the window, ordered his servants to get the spare window glass from the storage room. They settle in the living room, where there was a huge open balcony. A maid settles a tray on the coffee table; hot chocolate, tea, and snacks.
Akia
[Grab a cup and drink it] Herbal tea, my favorite.
Liz
It tastes better than my mom.
Akia
You're right, nothing can beat Chael cooking. I can't eat anything unless I taste his cooking once a week. It's really addicting.
Blair
[Sarcastic] Yeah, he'll be better off being a cook. A Cook Reaper.
Akia
[Glare at Blair] Stop with that attitude, it's rude. [Blair turn her head to ignore her, then she calmly turn at Chael] Sorry, she hates stranger.
Chael
I can see. Is she spoiled?
Akia
No, not as much as you spoiled Belle.
Chael
She's my mistress. Listen to every command she gave is my job. So, what brings you guys here?
Akia
Nothing much, just to drop by to give you a message. One of your friends, start with an 'N' who's from Sooga Village, want me to give you this. [Hand an envelope to Chael as he carefully open it and read it]
Belle
[Move closer to him] What is it?
Chael
Important stuff. [Shuffle back the paper inside] I have to leave, I'll be back. [Stand up and left]
Belle
Okay, bye-bye. [Wave]
Akia
Make chocolate pudding after you finish your business.
Handsome
Break a leg.
Chael
Oh shut up, it won't be long.
Chael head straight to his room, throw the envelope on the desk and sit down. He tore the envelope and reread the paper, just to make sure he captured every single word. The information on his hands was about his biological parents, he was searching for them, knowing the Grim Reaper cannot create life. From the paper he read; a family of four, two couples and their two children's in Dimmsdale. Chael smile, he wants to meet them, get to know them. He had he to keep it a secret because he's dead to them.
