Chapter 2

Martin Kreese POV (Continues)

I was standing with shock. In front of me, nine teenagers were standing. Each and every one looked like they were coming directly from the web series 'Cobra Kai'. The teens had facial similarities with the actors and actresses too.

"What is this, Grim?" I looked at him, who was smirking at me.

"They will go to the human world, with you."

I looked at them. They were looking at me with smiles in their faces.

"But, I am a single male. They are nine teenagers, and I don't want to sound rude, there are three girls. Can I take proper care of all of them? We must also think about the government and the social service department too. The government will not permit me to have them in my care."

"You have a valid point." Grim started scratching his chin. He was silently watching me. I was watching him too. A few moments passed like that. I was getting irritated now.

"What will I do now, Grim?"

"Have you forgotten that they are with you as per God's will? Nothing will happen from the side of government. You will have proper documents for you and each and every one of them. We will provide you all with residence, money and other accessories. Now, all you have to do is to take proper care of them. You will build their strength and teach them discipline. I have faith on you."

Grim stopped speaking and then turned towards the teenagers.

"Now listen up, all of you. God is merciful on you lot, so you are having this chance. If I have any say about your punishment, then it would be the limbo for eternity. Now, do not waste this chance. Face the hardships of the world, and then I hope that you will cease to be a spoiled brat. You are forbidden to speak about your true identity to anyone except Martin here. I will be watching you all. If you give him any trouble, then it will be the limbo again."

The boy, who was a lookalike of Miguel, looked at my face once. Then he looked at Grim.

"I promise you, that I will not give him any trouble."

"What about the others?"

The Bert and Nate lookalikes chirped, "We promise too!"

"Ladies, what about you?"

The Tory lookalike looked at me. No, she was actually scanning me under her sharp gaze.

"Grim, are you sure about him? Do you think that he could take proper care of all of us?"

"Martin, answer her!"

I looked at her.

"I don't know, because I haven't taken care of one teenager in my life. But I haven't died too. With this situation, I have got a chance to do something that only one in a billion could have. I have faith in myself. Now I want your trust and cooperation. I know that taking proper care to all of you is not an easy task. But I am ready to do it."

Tory was silently watching me. She was probably measuring my sincerity. I saw a thin smile in her face. She looked at Sam and Aisha. They smiled at her and nodded affirmatively.

"He is sincere. I like him.", Aisha said with a smile.

"I like him too.", Sam nodded. Then she looked at Robby.

"What about you?"

Robby was standing with a frown in his face. He was not looking too happy. Demetri and Eli slapped his shoulders.

"Cheer up my friend." Demetri said to him.

"He looks fine, and he seems way much better than Grim. Think of it as a new experience. WE will have so much fun in human world."

"He is right man!", Eli said with a smile. I couldn't call him Hawk because he lacked that Mohawk hair. Robby was silent, but the hardness in his face lessened a bit.

I went to him, and extended my right hand to him. He looked at me, and took my hand. That silent gesture was enough for me.

"Fear does not exists; pain does not exists; defeat does not exists! Right?"

Robby smiled a bit.

"Strike first, strike hard, no mercy sir!"

"No, Robby.", I smiled at him. He looked at me curiously.

"No?"

"No.", I told him with determination. Then I looked at the others. They were looking at us with question in their eyes.

I looked at them.

"Build strength. Learn Discipline. Strike back.", I told them.

They were looking at us with awe. Each of them had respect for me in their eyes.

"Will you repeat after me?", I asked them softly.

"Yes sir!", they all shouted in unison.

"Fear does not exists; pain does not exists; defeat does not exists!"

"Build strength. Learn Discipline. Strike back.",

The sounds echoed in the room. Each and every teen was looking at me. Their eyes are glowing with joy. I saw Robby, who was standing beside Miguel, Eli, Demetri and Sam. I saw a thin smile in the boy's face.

Then I looked at Grim.

"I am ready."

"We are ready too." Robby said to him. Grim looked at him.

"I hope that you will use this experience as a lesson. Martin, you will have residence, money and necessary documents. You can get a job if you want to. But remember, that your first priority must be them. They are your responsibility now. I have faith on you."

I was shocked. The Grim Reaper, the angel of death had faith on a mere mortal human. His praise made my chest swelled with pride.

"I will do my best, I give you my word of honour. You honoured me by placing your trust on me. I will not let you down. I will use the last breath in my body. "

Grim placed his right hand on my shoulder.

"I know you will."

In a moment, I felt a pull in my belly. Then, darkness covered my eyes again.

So this is chapter 2. Please read and review.
