Grim looked up and saw yet another heartless body on the ground
"uggg" he shouted in dismay "when will me job done!!? Thanks a lot Irwin" realizing what he had said, he turned slowly toward Mandy. His fear turned to confusion when he saw Mandy glaring into the distance. Her cheek was bleeding, and she couldn't seem to speak. Billy was on himself the ground slowly rocking back and fourth. His nose was running, and tears streamed down his face.
Mandy's eyes turned coldly to grim "you knew he was alive, you knew what he'd become. And you kept it from us" she said angrily. "you lied to me grim. You told me he was dead."
" yes I lied." Sighed grim " but Irwin wanted it dat way. And I wanted you to remember Irwin as he was, not as some physco maniac"
"You lied grim. You'll be a century older before you repay that debt." She said glaring him down. She stopped and thought for a moment " where did he get those powers?"
Grim shrugged " I tink it was his mother." He said moving towards his next client "when I'm done here I'll take you home."
Mandy nodded, and bent to get billy off the ground.
The next day both Billy and Mandy couldn't speak, they couldn't eat, and billy couldn't sleep through class. Mandy just stared blankly at her paper.
Mindy leaned over with a sneer. "What's the matter ugly? Looked in mirror?" she asked mockingly. When Mandy she refused to respond she continued. "too horrified to speak?" still Mandy did not respond, Mindy shouted "Stop ignoring me"
Mandy turned startled. "Did you say something airhead?" she asked unfeelingly
"grrr" screamed Mindy as she ripped at her hair. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" she shouted angrily
Mandy looked at her, and whispered coldly "Irwin…Is alive" slowly she turned back to toward the teacher.
Mindy, for the first time in a long time, couldn't speak. all she could do was stare blankly off into space.
Mandy couldn't think clearly. Every five seconds Irwin's image popped into her head. She stood up slowly from her pink and black covered bed. Mandy grabbed her jacket, and headed for the door.
"I'm going for a walk" she said to no one in particular.
As she paced the streets, the cold wind whipped her face.
"why can't I get him out of my head? He was just a stupid little kid, who made bad choices. I didn't care then, why should I now?" she wondered aloud.
Just then she heard multiple shots, like something from a machine gun, coming from the alley next to her. She turned. To her surprise, Hostellgato was fighting Irwin. If this wasn't a coincidence, what was? She had been right, it was a machine gun, and it was attached to hos's hand. Shots flew in every direction, as Irwin dodged left and right. His bone blades were drawn, they snaked out of his arms sinisterly, and he was laughing as he jumped and twirled like a monkey.
"getting closer" he laughed aloud. He was having great fun. More fun then he had had in a long time.
"die filth" shouted Hos, has his arm morfed into a sword and swung at Irwin's chest. He mannadaged to back Irwin into a wall.
Irwin began to melt into a red liquid-like state, until he had transformed into pure blood. The puddle of Irwin slipped between haus's feet, then reformed right behind him.
"peekaboo, yo" he mauked pretentiously. This was coming to an end, and they both new it.
With lightning speed, haus turned round and sliced Irwin's right arm right off. Dispite herself, Mandy gasped slightly. What was wrong with her? Haus smilled triumphantly, but strangely enough so did Irwin. His arm flew up in the air and reattached itself. Within seconds there wasn't even a scar
"nice one, yo. But I think you ment ta do this" chuckled Irwin as he ran his blade through haus's heart. Slowly he puled the blade out, and let haus fall dead to the ground.
"nice seeing you again. Sorry our visit was so short" laughed Irwin cruely. He bit the heart off of his bones, like a possum on a stick. "yum, rabies" he joked. (see fairly odd parents.) "you can come out from the shadows now mandy." He said calmly.
"how long did you know I was there?" asked mandy coldly as she stepped over haus's fallen corpse. She looked down at the shocked expression on the body's face. "he was always really annoying." She mumbled quietly to herself.
"the moment you left your house." He said smilling at her cockily. He whipped the blood off his face, and tossed the remains of the heart onto the ground.
"how did you know that?" asked mandy confusedly
"I could smell your blood. It smells nice, like sweet candy" he laughed evily. How he did love to torment her. "Now what brings you to this neck of the woods, my darling."
She stopped. Why had she come, why couldn't she get him out of her head. She decided it was his raw power, and skill. She looked up into his cold, unfeeling eyes. Could there be something else? No, she shook the thought out of her head.
"I want you to tech me to fight" she said seriously. "your skill is impressive, and I don't give out complements easily."
He laughed "you can't be serious. Why the hell should I help you? After everything you've done to me, why should I even care about you?"
She had thought he would do it for her sake. Because he was so obsessed with her. She was wrong. He, like her, no longer cared for anyone but himself. Suddenly she thought back to her deal with the grim reaper.
"let's make a bet" she said coolly " If I win you teach me to fight."
"and if I win?" Irwin asked maukingly
"well, what do you want?" asked mandy she wasn't sure what his answer would be. Perhaps all the prey he could eat?
"there is only one thing I have wanted for a very long time, yo." He said his smile faiding
Mandy gritted her teeth expecting the worst. What she heard was very different.
"death" as he said this mandy looked into his solom, serious face. "Grim will remove every grain of sand I have left in my hour glass. That is what I want. I don't care if I go to hell, I just want out."
"agreed" said mandy with a small grimace.
"now what sort of contest do you have in mind?" he asked smilling. "limbo?"
"I was thinking something more along the lines of chess" Mandy replied. She wasn't about to challenge him to anything Physical.
This wasn't all that action packed. I never really liked hoss, he annoyed me! So I'm glad he's dead. Eris doesn't care because she had grim. But what about Kevin, what will happen to him!? Oh who cares he's just an orange traffic cone in hoss's basement!? Well that's it for me today. R&R please!!!!!!
