I didn't feel like the previous prologue was enough, so I added a bit more detail to it. And the next chapter as well. ^^ Enjoy!
Prologue
On a lonely alley in London, two girls, Jasmine and Breezy, were catching their breaths. It began to rain, but it seemed the least of their problems.
Jasmine was the oldest, at age 16. She had unusual white hair that was normally tied up into two separate ponytails. It reached her waist. She wore a red hoodie with a short skirt that reached her mid-thigh. She had black, worn-out tennis shoes on her feet.
Her younger sister, Breezy was 15 years old. She wore a faded yellow hoodie and holey jeans. She had long, red hair that hung down her back. She wore no shoes.
They were a mess. Mud was caked onto their clothing, skin, and hair, which made it difficult to see their unnatural colors.
Both looked up to the sky as it rained. She and her sister attempted to continue, but she collapsed. She struggled to get back to her feet, but she was too weak.
Jasmine knelt down and helped her crawl to a nearby wall. The tiny umbrella-like thing above the door did nothing to protect them from the elements.
Breezy sneezed and leaned against her older sister. Jasmine put a protective arm around her, shivering herself. In a moment, soft snores were heard from Breezy.
Jasmine watched her sister sleep, then tilted her head to the sky, uttering a silent prayer.
When she was done, she looked across the sign and saw the sign that made her heart pick up in fear.
Undertaker, it read.
'Great,' she thought. 'If we don't make it, the Undertaker's shop is right there. How convenient.' she scoffed.
Deep inside, she secretly hoped everyday was their last. If they passed away, they wouldn't have to live everyday in fear, praying that their father would never find them.
Eventually, exhaustion claimed Jasmine as well. The two slept soundly, but only for a little while.
"Why do we have to walk in the rain?" a voice whined in the night. The source was none other than Grell Sutcliff. He was dressed in a white, long-sleeved shirt, black vest, black dress pants, and a large, red overcoat that hung off of his elbows. He had vibrant red hair that grew down to the ground. Red glasses were perched at the end of his nose.
The figure he was walking with sighed in frustration.
"Grell, you don't have to accompany me. I'm very capable of gathering herbs by myself." he said, plastering a fake smile on his face.
This man was the Undertaker. He wore long, dark robes that hung off his frame like a tent. He had a gray sash around his shoulder, wrapping around his torso, ending in a knot underneath his arm near his arm. He had silver hair, that reached his lower back. His bangs covered his eyes, leaving a scar that curled from underneath them, across his cheek, disappearing behind his ear, and a silly grin. Well, normally. Right now, his grin was replaced with an annoyed frown. Atop his head sat a floppy top hat. Another scar was visible on his neck.
"Oh nonsense~!" the reaper replied happily. "I am happy to be able to spend this quality time with my favorite mortician."
Undertaker sighed again, letting the subject drop. It was silent, for a moment, until Grell burst past Undertaker.
"Race you back!" he cried in a childish manner. Undertaker, always accepting a challenge, giggled and used his shinigami speed to leap from building to building.
The redhead looked behind him, immediately discouraged at the sight of not seeing the older reaper behind him. He slowed.
A rush of wind indicated to the other that the elder reaper was, in fact, racing him.
"No fair!" he screeched. Nonetheless, he smiled and kicked it into high gear.
Undertaker and Grell were blurs across the sky, Undertaker's crazed laughs echoing in the sky.
Finally, they reached Undertaker's shop.
Undertaker leaned against the door, snickering. Grell was bent over panting, out of breath.
"how,how did you beat me?" he asked.
Undertaker looked serious for a moment, then smirked. He brought a finger to his lips as if telling a secret.
"That is classified, young reaper. Only the highest shinigami know."
"You're no fun," Grell pouted, then stood straight, having caught his breath.
Undertaker swung open the door, and Grell walked in.
A murmur caught their attention.
Both turned to see two teenage girls leaning against the wall, rain dripping off of them.
One of them blinked tiredly at them. She opened her mouth slightly, and both had to strain to hear what she said.
"Help," she pleaded.
Undertaker was immediately by her side, picking her up bridal style. She didn't bother to squirm, but fell unconcious, probably from the effort of talking. He carried her into the shop, laying her in one of his old coffins.
Grell imitated him with the other girl.
When he picked her up, he was both amazed at how light she was, and grossed out by the ammount of mud on her clothing and face. It rubbed into his clothing.
Her face was gaunt and pale, except the dark circles under her eyes.
He was quick to put her into a separate coffin, and grabbed a wet rag to try and get the substance off of his coat.
"So, what are we going to do now?" he asked the Undertaker, furiously scrubbing at the stain.
Undertaker looked thoughtful. "Well, even though they are filthy, I doubt they would appreciate a bath while they are asleep. I suggest that we wait."
Well there it is. I have the next chapter up as well!
