Yay! It's Jane's indoctrination hope you like it. The next chapter is her first reaping and then that'll be it for this story.


Chapter 4 Induction

Jane breathed deeply in an effort to expel her nerves as Amelia placed a black cloak around her shoulders.

"You'll do fine" Amelia whispered. "And don't worry, I'll be there for your first few reapings."

Jane smiled uneasily at Amelia, even though the training session had been hard and gruelling at times, and Amelia could be strict as all hell Amelia had been a great friend and confident during the months leading to this day.

Amelia lead her to wooden oak door, they opened of their own accord and Jane with one more glance at Amelia stepped inside, alone.

At the far end of the room was man standing his face covered in shadow surrounding her on either side were people wearing black cloaks just like her. She knelt in the middle of the room her head facing down.

"Do you understand that you must collect the souls and place them where they belong, no matter your own personal judgement?" The man said his voice low and deep but loud enough that it seemed to fill the entire room.

."I do" Jane said.

"Do you understand that no matter how much you wish too you can not interrupt someone's death?" The man asked her.

Jane's hands clenched but she nodded. "I do"

"Do you understand that the life as you knew it was over, that no matter how much you wish otherwise, you cannot go back, you must leave the family you had behind, only watching them from a distance."

Jane had tears in her eyes by this point. "I … understand" She said her voice choking.

The man must have sensed her hesitation because he broke character for a single moment. "This rules will seem hard to follow at first, but I promise you Jane you'll thank me for them in the long run."

"Do you swear to abide by our laws from now until the end of your term?"

"I promise to abide them to the best of my abilities, from now until the end of time" Jane said. Her brother Jackson Overland was dead, the man he was now, did not even remember the man he was. If he saw her she would speak to him only if he spoke to her and she most definitely would not stay.

How ever there was nothing in the rules that stated she could not watch, and she plans to exploit the loophole with every single chance she got. Especially in regards to the little child she had left behind.

There was a slight hesitation"Then Jane Overland I now pronounce you Grim Reaper"

Jane was handed a scythe black and the second her hands touched the handle she could feel a power surge through her whole body. Changing her into the reaper she now was.

Within seconds she felt stronger faster and more capable then ever before. She felt as though she could lift a tree, run faster then an arrow, and jump higher then a mountain.

She tightened her grip on the scythe.

She was ready.


A/N The Scythe is the thing that gives Jane her speed, strength and agility as well as her reaping powers. Still trying to decide if she would lose her powers should the scythe break (obviously she'll lose her reaping abilities, I'm talking of the speed agility and strength).
