Grell's POV

I was in the library, just doing some paperwork on a few new souls I had gathered. William walks to his office in a hurry. He's pissed again. I can tell, he hasn't said anything but it's obvious. Approaching him, I decide to try and help.

"WIlliam, is something the matter?"

"Something's always the matter, Grell."

"What's the problem?"

"Nothing you need you can help with. It's the new apprentice Adrian. He keeps picking fights with the other apprentices and none of the other Reapers can stand being around him long."

"I'll take him on! Really now, how bad can he be?"

Just as I had finished my sentence, one of the other apprentices, Ronald, crashed through the walls of the library, knocking over the stacks of paperwork I had just completed. He was followed by another boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. He wasn't very tall, but he was very tan, cute, but not really my type. Not long after the mess has settled, William started yelling.

"What is the meaning of this?! Adrian, let go of Ronald. And you better have a good reason for destroying half of the library."

The blonde let's the apprentice crash to the ground and stands before William.

"I was in a bad mood. The fucker just happened to cross my path."

"What am I going to do with you, Adrian?"

"Don't know, honestly don't care." He looks past William to glare at me. "Who's ginger?"

"That would be your new teacher, Grell Sutcliffe. He's going to teach you the ways of a Grim Reaper."

"Is he now?" Adrian smiles, and I really don't like the look of that kid's smile.

"Yes, now clean up this mess. I'm going to take Ronald to the infirmary. Grell, follow me out."

He picks up Ronald, who seems to be drifting in and out of consciousness and heads for the library door while I follow.

"I think I should tell you a few things about Adrian, he's not like the others."

"How's he different than any of us?"

"Well for one, his eyes aren't the usual color that marks a Reaper. His eyes are actually very different than any other's. I'm sure you noticed he wasn't wearing any glasses. That's because he can see a soul without them."

"Well, that is unusual, but nothing I can't handle."

"No, that's not why I'm worried. But I'm sure you'll find out what I mean soon enough."

That's when we hear the sound of a chainsaw. I look down and notice I left my Reaper's scythe in the library. Great. William smiles.

"Have fun."

He walks away, leaving me to turn and face the door to the library. What have I gotten myself into.
