Me- I like you!
Sebastian- *clears throat* anyway… the Authors ratings remain the same and nothing has changed from the previous chapter she hopes you enjoy the second chapter of "Alois the Shinigami"
Alois- I'm still Dead! *Cries*
Grell bounded over the rooftops of London felling like a bird in flight as he did so. The cold wind blew back his flaming red locks and gave him an almost tribal feeling. He landed gracefully in front of the undertakers little shop hidden in the back of the city and away from the wandering eye. He smoothed his hair and clothes out before walking to the front door. A lady must always look presentable and running around on the rooftops was no excuse.
He lightly fingered the red banded gem in his pocket, such a pretty shade of red. He pulled open the worn wooden door with a flourish ignoring the annoying creaking sound that came from the rusted hinges. Undertaker really ought to get that fixed Grell thought distastefully. Another creaking sound alerted the reaper that one of the coffins on the wall was opening as the front door swung shut.
"Well well young lady are you looking into buying one of me coffins. Very comfortable even if you're not dead yet that they are." The undertaker crackled as he stepped out of the coffin his eyes glowing underneath his lengths of silver hair.
"Not today dearie maybe some other time though, I actually came to collect from the time I gathered wills things for you." The red Shinigami gave a sweet smile as he bonded over to the older reaper. He pulled the ring from his pocket and held it out to the coffin maker.
"I'm in need of advice…" Grell trailed off as Undertaker carefully took the ring in his long fingered and examined it against the light.
"Hm… looks to be…Alois Trancy. That is what the boy went by yes? Shall I assume you would like a body for him yes" Undertaker laughed his creepy little laugh as he pulled a huge dust covered book from out of nowhere and slammed it down on the wooden table that looked like it wouldn't hold up for much longer under the books weight.
"Wait! No! I'm not sure yet!" Grell panicked not wanting to get anything he couldn't get out of.
"He he now if the young lady would just go wait outside for a little bit I will have him all fixed up. Good as new he'll be yes he will."
"Undertaker! Wait! I don't know if I want a kid to look after! Besides what's Will gonna say about this there's no way he would let me do something like this!" Grell panicked avoiding the Undertaker trying to remove him from the shop.
"Well Ms. Sutcliff something tell me you already knew that and yet here you are, am I right?" the undertaker laughed as a thoughtful look passed over the Shinigami.
"But!"
"No buts Ms. Sutcliff you came for a favor and I shall give it to you but for this to be done you need to be out here." Undertaker said pushing him outside and locking the door behind him.
"Undertaker!" Grell yelled as he pounded on the door, unfortunately for Shinigami charms the door no matter how frail it looked wouldn't break.
"Now now young lady don't go far he'll be all done in a few minutes half an hour at the most." The Undertaker laughed evilly before random crashes and pounding sounds were heard from behind the door. The whirl of a buzz saw and the sharpening of knifes. Grell paced outside impatiently wanting to watch what was going on inside and still trying to figure if he wanted to be tethered down to the kid until he was old enough to move on. Undertaker was making him a human body right? Grell didn't particularly like Vampires with their stupid looking knock off fangs or witches with their uncontrollable magic. He could only hope it was human.
The unmistakable sound of a cat yelling came from inside and the voice of Undertaker saying here kitty kitty made him rethink why he even thought this was going to work.
Human? With the Undertaker no one could tell.
Page Break!
Half an hour! Half an hour of nothing to do but try and guess the mixture of noises coming from the shop. He could only hope Will wasn't out looking for him. That Alois kid was the last on the Death list that night and William was probably wondering where the kids soul was and Grell certainly did not want to explain it was in the hands of a retired maniac planning on bringing the soul back to the living. No that wouldn't go over to well at all.
The sequel of tires sounded from inside the shop and the door swung open with a successful undertaker standing in the doorway
"It's…ALIVE! HE-HE-HE!" the Undertaker laughed falling back into his shop as Grell pushed past him hoping to see the work that took so long to complete.
The pale thin body on the table was a perfect match to the little boy Grell had watched running in the woods, the platinum blonde hair was maybe an inch or two longer and the skin more fair but it was small differences and didn't matter. The face was the same and the eyes were closed. Grell being the curious one took one of his fingers to the eye lid and softly pulled it back. He visually jerked back at seeing the lighter ring around the darker blue of the eye.
"Undertaker! What did you do?" Grell yelled pointing madly at the body.
"My lady it is not nice to point." Undertaker said and Grell ceased his wild waving at once.
"And now to insert the soul…" Undertaker trailed off pulling the ring from his pocket and taking one of the cold limp hands from the table.
"Hm that's not right?" Undertaker said and closed the eyelid Grell had opened all the while ignoring the Red heads frantic yelling and dodging the attempts to take back the ring.
"There we go all done." Undertaker grinned as he slid the red ring onto the boys pale hand and the red of the soul began to leak into the body and a bloody glow built up around it. Grell watched in fascination as the light built behind the blonds closed eyes forgetting to yell at the Undertaker entirely. Grell watched in fascination as the eyes opened wide revealing the rings of a Shinigami and the body arched as a painfully loud scream left the boys mouth as he withered in pain on top of the table. Undertaker held his shoulders down as the soul invaded the body's mind and Alois gave violent jerks and screams of agony with each bright red pulse. To Grell it was the most beautiful thing he had ever laid eyes on. The screams died down with a final pulse of light that illuminated the entire shop and the body fell limp.
"3…2…and…" Alois drew a sharp breath in through his lungs and began to cough harshly on the table, his arms and legs flailing uncontrollably.
Grell caught the boy as he tumbled off the edge and green eyes met crystal blue.
Page Break!
HE couldn't SEE! Every shape around him was a mess of colors invading each other's boundaries and his body throbbed with every harsh cough he made. He was practically blind but was aware of the red thing that caught him as he fell from the edge of…whatever he had been laying on. His eyes searched around for an escape frantically and the blurry mess ended up giving him a headache. Two voices sounded both creepy in their own way he looked up to the softer voiced person who caught him and two blurry Green eyes met his own.
