It seems a small number of people like my story. If that is so then i guess i am obligated to atleast think up a suitable ending for it. That and a plot line that can be easily followed but not something so predictable it becomes boring after the second chapter. It shouldn't take long... nope already got something. I warn thee mortals, Mandy, much like Billy, is going to be out of character. Very out of character. it'll probably start either in this chapter or the next. You have been warned.
Billy's Request
Billy sat on a park bench tapping his foot impatiently. His face was engrossed in a dark look, to those that knew him it meant he was thinking... And thinking hard. Most avoided him at such times fearing the result of disturbing the young man's thought process. Even the children were wary of this darker side of the adul they had come to love as 'Uncle Billy'.
Billy was actually waiting for Grim. He had asked him to come here on this fine rainy day to ask a request of his 'friend'. As he waited he thought about the past, going over events he wish he could undo. He sighed deeply and looked to the sky with his normally dully lit eyes.
Finally Grim arived through a portal in his day clothes, black shir, white pants, and scythe in hand. Billy gave a thankful sigh and looked at the Grim Reaper.
"What do you want, Billy? Mandy's do back from de doctors apointment and i want to see how it went", he said crossing his arms and glaring at the man before him.
"I want you to do me a favor, Grim", he said lowly looking away.
"What it be?"
"I want you to erase a memory i have", He looked back into Grims crimson eyes," I want you to erase the day Mandy turned three from my memory."
"Why would you be wanting that?", Grim asked crossing his arms.
"Just please do it, Grim. You'll understand why when you see the memory", Billy said begging with Grim to do as he asked. Grim looked at him for a couple moments before finally nodding. He took a step back and then opened a portal into Billy's mind, and more specifically on the memory of Mandy's third birthday.
He stepped in and Billy sat back again waiting to feel the effects of memory wipe. Maybe after he forgot what happened he could live like a normal person and be treated like someone who deserved respect.
Grim sighed as he looked in on the memory. It was ofcourse through Billy's eyes. He was surprised to find that billy at age four was reading a book. Not a chapter book but he was reading. It was easy to tell that the boy could have been a genius. A giggling was heard and Billy looked up from his book to see mandy. She had he silky blonde hair down and the hair band was missing. The most striking thing about her was that she was smiling.
Grim smiled a little at the scene immagining what her smile might be like today.
Bakc into the real business. The party seemed to be going well, pinata, cake presents. But then out of the corner of Billy's eye grim caught something. It was a shadow. Mortals probably couldn't see it unless they were sensitive to the forces of darkness.
It would stay only in Billy's peripherals as if stalking it's prey but wanting it to know it was being hunted. It seemed to favor Billy over anyone else in the party, only leaving him once or twice to check on other guests.
Billy joined up once again with mandy both having contented smiles on their faces. That's when the shadow struck.
It split into two parts, one red, the other black. The red one pounced on Mandy, and the black one on Billy. or a few seconds there was only screaming. The dull sensation creeping up Grim's spine was the closest thing he got to feeling the pain that Billy had. He could sense that this shadow specter was clawing at the knowledge that billy held looking for something. What ever it was it obviously did not find it and it left Billy with a hiss. It wated patiently for it's comrade by keeping all the adults away from the still screaming three year old.
Mandy was suffering through something different. This creature was trying to take her soul, take it and devour the power it held even then. It wasn't the same as when Grim knew her. No this had a light to it that would probably made her one of the archangels had she kept it as thus instead of what she was due to become in the underworld.
Suddenly the red shadows was expelled from Mandy's body. It looked to be in a terrible amount of pain. Mandy then sat up a familiar scowl on her face. apparently the attack on her soul had awakened the dark side that slept within her. She stood up and walked over to the shadows and they joined back into one.
What happened next surprised Grim. Mandy created one of her energy spheres and pushed it to the chest of the Demon. She then lifted her small middle finger to it and the sphere imploded taking the creature of darkness with it.
Grim was completely stunned still watching as the memory played out it's final parts. Mandy walked overto Billy, the new scowl on her face scaring him. She kneeled down infront of him looking him in the eyes.
"Billy, promise me something", he voice was the monotone that grim knew and loved,"Promise me you wont let anyone except for me know how smart you are,ok?" Grim could feel the lads confusion for a moment before he nodded he then grabbed her in a hug sobbing like the child he was. The last thing grim saw was the small sparkle of a single tear as it left Mandy's eyes.
Grim let out a breath he hadn't known he'd been holding. It was no wonder Billy wanted to forget this... But why had Mandy made her friend promise such a thing?
"Because she knew what the shadows wanted", a deep voice came from behind him. Grim wirled around to see who he was faced with. His eyes went wide and he instantly bowed down on one knee.
"Boss, I didn't know you were here", he said his head bowed. The man before him wore a black business suit and a hat that covered his face making it impossible to see.
"No need for Formalities, Grim. In a few years you and your wife will be taking my throne... Well one of them anyways."
Grim cautiously stood up and faced the entity most would know as God and some would know as Satan. It was true, they were one in the same but soon it would change. This all powerful entity that had been asked to be only called Boss was giving up both his throne in heaven and in the underworld. He said he wanted to go on vacation for a few hundred millenia and that they would take his spots.
"Boss, what do you mean what de shadows wanted? What is it dey were after?"
"Quite simply they were after your wifes soul and her friends knowledge. I've been planning my vacation for the last millenia or so and some had planned ahead to take the throne of either worlds. One such being a demon by the name of Plasmius. He always was powerhungry. He went to one of hells future seers to see if he would be the one to take the throne rightfully or if he had to usurp power. It didn't matter either way as long as he had control. In it he saw you and Mandy at the throne instead of him. The seer told him that because of Mandy's Half blood and knowledge that William(A/N: Billy is short for William people) would accidentally learn that it would lead to yours and hers rulership there. So he sent the demon shadow after the two of them as children. Fortunately the seer did not tell Plasmius that it would in part also be his own doing. The shadow that entered Mandy accidentally leaked this information to her and she overpowered it expelling it, William had not yet known the secret that will help the two of you in the future. Plasmius however was not willing to give up. He's going to try again and soon. He knows that your wife is vulnerable. he also believes he doesn't have to worry about William because of Mandy's wise request for him to hide his intelligence."
Grim listened carefully to what Boss said and thought deeply about it before two more questions popped up.
"Boss, how will Mandy be vulnerable? And what do you mean half blood?", The deity gave him a knowing smile and put a hand on Grim's shoulder.
"You'll find out the first soon enough, my friend."
"And about half blood?"
"That too will be revealed in good time. Now i'm afraid i can't allow you to erase this memory. Please give William my regards", and with that Boss was gone as if he had never been there in the first place. Grim sighed thoughtfulyl as he opened a portal back to the rainy park where Billy was waiting.
"Grim, what's wrong? Why do I still remember?", he looked about ready to break into tears. Grim sighed a little his immortal heart aching for the boy.
"I'm sorry, Billy, I cant do it. De boss says dat dat memory is important", he sighed hanging his head slightly," He sends his regards." Billy looked stunned for a moment but he just nodded his head and forced on himself that usual empty headed look and smiled at Grim.
"Well I gotta go, Grim, I smell hot dogs down the street", and off he ran to get some hot dogs. Grim sighed once again watching him go. He turned the other way and started walking towards his home where Mandy was waiting. He would have opened another portal but he decided that he needed some time to think.
(( Author's Note))
I could end the chapter here and let you all wait in suspense for how Mandy tells Grim she's pregnant... But I'm not that evil.
(( In the kitchen at the Grim household))
Mandy sat at the table idly eating a peace of toast with ketchup, and onions. She still had a hand over her abdomen wondering how to tell her mate that they were now expecting a child. She thought about stating it bluntly but that didn't seem right for this occasion. Should she be subtle about it? Hmm... Perhaps 'that' would work.
At about that moment her husband walked into the kitchen being abnormally quiet. He set his scythe against the wall and grabbed a cup of coffee sighing.
"Mandy", he sounded a bit depressed and , though she didn't show it, that worried her.
"Yes, Grim", her voice was monotone as ever.
"Billy asked me to erase de memory of your t'ird birt'day today", he noticed hersuddenly become tense so he coninued quickly," Boss told me not to... He told me you were going to be vulnerable... What did he mean? Do you know?"
Mandy was a little shocked. She had almost forgotten about the happenings at her birthday and the promise she had Billy make. She shuddered a little at the memory. She imediately knew why she would be vulnerable to another attack by Plasmius. It looks like blunt was her only option for telling him. She was just gonna let him find out on her own when she started to get a stomach.
"Actually I do", she stood up and moved over to sit in his lap. She took one of his hands and place it on her abdomen," I'm pregnant, Grim.
((End chapter two))
