Friend
Looking death in the eyes, I would have thought that it would be more terrifying, chilling. However, as I gaze at this boy with brown hair and cold blue eyes all I saw was something… different.
My name is Mandy, and this is the story how I met my one true friend.
During my early childhood, my parent would always state how I was always a gloomy child. Saying I never smile, never laugh, and always had a scold look on my face. Truth of the matter is I never really care what my parent told me because I knew they would never understand me and in reality, I didn't want them too. With my attitude so dark and sour in addition to my scolding look I had no friend but I really did not want any. I hated this world and all who live in it and all I wanted to do is see this world burn.
However even being the gloomy child I was, I still had one… friend or more like an acquaintance. His name was Billy and he was as dumb as a person could get, but it was thanks to that idiot I was able to meet my one true friend.
It all started when I was eight and Billy invited me to his house for his dumb hamster birthday. It was stupid of him to celebrate a birthday for a pet but I had nothing better to do so I went over. When I was at Billy house, he was going on and on about his dumb hamster Mr. Snuggle, when I felt the room started to get cool. I ask Billy to turn down the AC but he did not know what that was. I suddenly felt another present in the room as I turn around to see someone behind Billy and me.
I could not tell what the person look like because he was wearing a black cloak and a skull mask over his face. I was guessing he was kid just like us seeing a he was only a few inches taller than me. What really caught my attention about the boy was what he was holding in his right hand. It looks to be a scythe.
As I thought back about that moment I remember how I was not afraid of the person but in fact stupefied of his present. He had this dark aura surrounding him and looking through the eyes of the mask I saw a dark cool blue eye staring back at me that shook me to the core. He started to walk slowly towards us as I look at Billy seeing that he did not even seem to notice the person present.
"Are you Billy the owner of Mr. Snuggle?"
The boy had a very silk and smooth voice but it was also cold and lifeless as well. Billy finally notice the man present as he jump up and down stating the boy was here to celebrate Mr. Snuggle birthday. The boy just nodded his head no as he stretch out his hand asking for the hamster.
Before Billy could do anything, I got between them glaring the boy. The boy did not flinch from my glaze like most people would as he just gave me a cold stare. The two of us look at each other for quite a while until the boy vanishes right in front of me. I was quite surprise but did not show it when I heard Billy let out a girlish scream. I turn around to see the boy held Mr. Snuggle as Billy try to get him back.
"Hey give me back Mr. snuggle you… you… You big meanie!"
I roll me eyes at Billy attempt to get back his hamster. But all the boy did was push Billy back. I was getting annoy with Billy whining so I quietly walk behind the boy as I smack him upside the head. The boy fell down dropping the scythe as I quickly grab it as the boy was getting up.
"Fuck that hurted."
The boy mask fell off giving me a good look at his face. I was quite shock to see that the boy was not as hideous as I thought. The boy seems to be about my age maybe a little older. The boy finally got to his feet as I wave to scythe to his neck. The boy did not look scared as I held his weapon towards him, in fact he actually seem like he was amuse.
"You're kind of cute."
My eyes slanted as I glare at this boy. Who the hell did he think he was. Letting my anger get the better of me I began swing his scythe all over the place. The boy seem to be toying with me as he dodge all the swing as Billy was too busy attending to his fallen pet and did not care that the two of us destroying his room. I finally got him corner throwing myself on top of him pining the boy down. Again, the boy did not look scared or nervous seeing me about to waste his existence as he kept a small sinister smile.
"Who the hell are you?"
And that was the day I met The Grim Reaper AKA bonehead. That day we learn that Grim went to Billy house to take the soul of his Hamster because it was going to die. Billy did not want to lose his hamster so Grim and I made a bet. The bet was that if I win he has to become my slave for as long as I live, and if he were to win, he can keep the stupid hamster. Truth be told I did not really believe that he was the grim reaper until he convert Billy room into a limbo patio, and you do not have to be a rocket scientist to know who won the limbo competition… But, now that I think about it Grim didn't even look like he was trying to win…
"Bonehead gives me a drink from the fridge." "Whatever you want queen BB."
Now that Grim have become my slave I pretty much let him do all of my chores, bring me food, and do my homework… Well not after the first time, Grim is not as dumb as Billy but he is a few light bulbs short in that empty head of his. Hanging around me, Grim started calling me queen BB, which stand for bitchy bitch, at first I was really piss that he called me that and beat the hell out of him with his scythe, but as time went by, I really did not care… Man Grim was turning me soft…
With Grim around, me and Billy started to go on a lot of adventure together seeing as Grim has a neck for causing trouble where ever he go. He took us to the underworld where we met quite a few interesting character, went to the north pool to visited the real Santa clause where we found out miss clause was a vampire, and many other crazy adventure. We also learn all about Grim job as being the reaper, and how his job was to guide lost soul to the afterlife… Why does that sound like something from TV show? Anyway we met some people from Grim past like his child friend Nergal Jr. or Jr for short, his biggest rival the boogeyman who I think is all talk with no bark, and so much more.
"Here your drink all mighty one, sorry I could not bring it in a gold cup."
I glare at Grim as he handed me my soda taking a seat next to me, "are you finish with all of my chores?" Grim did not answer but I can assume that is a yes. I felt myself getting colder glancing over to Grim who was wearing his warm black cloak. I felt myself getting mad that Grim is ignoring his master who is freezing her butt off and he was not doing anything about it. I sat there for a few more second before I had enough of the cold so I jump Grim. Grim let out a very high shriek as I went under his cloak to get warm. I felt my cheek growing warmer as well as my body when I suddenly felt Grim arm wrap around my waist as he brought me closer to him
"If you wanted to cuddle Mandy all you had to do was ask."
I felt my cheek glow even redder as I quickly turn around smacking Grim in the head so hard his head came off and flew across the living room.
"Dame It BB, I was only joking with you! You didn't have to hit me so hard… Can you help get me get back to my body please?"
I let out a sigh as I got up from the coach picking up his head than handing it to his body. Grim carefully place his head back onto his body as I sat back down on his lap. Grim was shock about this but didn't say anything which I assume he know that if he say anything stupid I will smack him again. As I sat there with him I thought about all crazy and dangerous adventure we been on and hating to admit that I had a lot of fun on them. I thought that I might be able to enjoy the world I live in but the more I thought about it the more I realize I was only enjoying it because I had Grim by my side.
"Hey Mandy what do you think of the world?"
I did not bother answering Grim immediately as I was too busy watching TV, while he was in the kitchen cooking me dinner wearing an apron that said, "Kiss the chief". After a few second of thinking, I told him I did not care much about this world and that if it were to end tomorrow I would not feel anything. Grim did not respond back to me as I heard plate being set on the table. It did not took long before Grim told me dinner was ready and I got off of the coach and headed toward the kitchen
As the two of us sat down and ate dinner, I could not help but remember how it was awkward for us… Or should I say awkward for me when Grim became my slave. When I won the bet, I always assume Grim was just going to leave us alone and we would never have to see each other, but boy was I wrong. When the next morning rolled by I woke up to a surprise with Grim under my bed sheet sleeping. After beating Grim to the brink of death, no pun intended, Grim started to explain how contract are important in the underworld and that if one were to disobey a contract there would be dire consequence. So after that Grim have stay with me and sometime with Billy for the past year.
"So how's the food?"
Grim brought me out of my thought smiling at me as we ate the dinner. I look down the food, as I took a bit.
"It fine bonehead."
I felt my face heat up a little as I heard Grim chuckle stating how happy he is to hear the I praise for his work. Looking down at the food Grim made for me, I felt a small smile spread across my face. Thinking how in just one year's Grim has spent more time with me than my own parents. After the two of us finish dinner, we went to the living room and watched TV to pass the time.
"I guess your parents are working late again…"
I did not bother answering Grim as the two of us continue watching a sappy romance movie. After watching the movie for a while, I felt myself dozing off as I place my head on Grim shoulder. Grim did not react to what I did or say anything as we continue to watch the movie. Seeing the movie getting into one of those stupid musical numbers, I felt Grim slowly getting up from the coach. I glare at grim for moving as I notice him holding out a hand.
"What do you think you're doing?"
Grim just smile at me as he grabs my hand getting me off the coach. I glare at Grim smacking him, but he just laugh as he got me to my feet. Feeling his hand wrap around my waist I grasp on what he was trying to do as he grabs one of my hands. I did not bother resisting him as we slowly dance around the living. I gradually place my head on his chest as I listen to his heartbeat. The two of us kept dancing around the living room even after the music from the movie stopped. Being this close to Grim I could not help but realize how great it has been hanging around him. Slowly looking up at Grim I saw him look down at me as he gave me a smile. I did not smile back but just look down so he does not see the small smile on my face. I would not admit it to Grim or even myself, but since Grim enter my life, life has been nice…
"That stupid bonehead!"
I slam the door shut feeling the blood in my vein boil as I took the nearest object, which would happen to be my clock, and threw it at the wall. I pace around my room trying to calm myself but could not help but grab another object and throwing it at the wall.
"How could that Bone head betray me like that?!"
Thinking about what happened today I felt my blood run cold as the image of Grim and that bitch, Mindy, talking to each other made me want to throw another object at the wall. Thinking about that I let out a low growl as I heard a knock on my door. I did not bother answering it knowing who it was.
"Go away bonehead I do not want to talk to you!" "Mandy let me explain It was Mindy not me." "Yea but you did not do anything to stop her!" "Mandy why are you even mad about this I mean all we did was kiss…"
Hearing that come from Grim I let out another growl as I storm to the door swing it open. Grim was shock at this but was even more shock as I punch his head off his shoulder. Grim body did his best to find his head as I quickly grab it first. Grim look terrified for the first time knowing him, as he look me in the eye.
"You belong to me, you are my property. I do not want someone like that bitch to talk to you much less do that."
Grim eye widen as he was soaking in what I told him into his head. I felt my face red realizing what I just said.
"Mandy… Mandy do you-"
I did not let Grim finish his sentence as I threw his head towards his body running out of the house. I did not stop running until I made it to the park. Letting out heavy breath slowly walk towards the swing taking a seat. I try to get my heart to slow down as I felt my face still hot.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid…" "Well look who it is."
I felt the back of my hair stand up as I turn around to see the last person I want to see. Mindy was standing behind me as she gave me one of her infamous smirk. I glare at her as she let out a shrieking laugh.
"Ohh this is rich, the big bad Mandy getting all sad knowing her boyfriend want to hang out with me instead of you, but who could blame him. I mean compare to me you're a-"
Mindy did not get to finish her sentence as I tackle her to the ground. I look down at Mindy seeing the terror in her eyes. I could not control myself as I held Mindy by the neck starting to tighten my grip. I felt myself let the anger control me as a pair of hand grab me by the waist pulling me of off Mindy. I started to struggle against the person who pulls me as flair my arm hitting the person.
"Mandy calm down."
Hearing that voice, I quickly turn around to see Grim standing behind me. I glare at him as I punch him in the stomach than yanking myself away from him. I calmly look at Mindy seeing struggle to get air. I did not bother to stay long as I turn around and began walking away. I felt Grim grab my hand but I tug it back.
"Mandy we need to talk." "Like I told you before I do now want to hear anything you have to say."
Grim let out a sigh but did not stop me from walking away. I walk around the city until dark, when I felt I cool down enough to go back home. I slowly walk back not in a rush to get home when I felt a hand come from behind me placing it hand over my mouth so I could not scram as it pulled me into to a dark ally.
"Wacky, wacky, little girl."
I slowly woke up hearing an irritated voice as I look up to see a boy with light blue skin. I let out a growl as I saw Grim stupid rival the Boogie man who in reality is just a stupid kid. I try to throw a punch at him but realize I could not move my hand. I look down to see myself tie up, I look back up to Boogie who had a sinister smile looking at me.
"What do you want Boogie."
I ask him with venom in my voice. A big creepy smile spread across of Boogie face as he slowly walks towards me. I did my best to back away from him but I found myself trap in a corner. Boogie stood over me as he bends down placing his long creepy finger under my chin forcing me too look at him. Boogie lean close to me as I felt his breath touching my skin. I try to struggle from him but I could not do anything.
"We are going to have so much fun little Mandy."
Boogie brought his hand away from me as he pull out a switchblade holding it near me. I saw him move his hand in a quick motion as the rope was cut. I thought that he was going to let me go but I felt him grab both of my hand slamming against the wall holding both my hand over my head. I started struggling as I flair my legs kicking Boogie it his personal region. Boogie fell down giving me a chance to escape as I bolted straight for the door. When I got close to the door I felt something wrap around my leg as I trip over myself hitting the ground. I turn around to look at Boogie and saw one of his hand was turn into a snake which was wrapping around my ankle. I try to break from his grasp but Boogie was to strong. Boogie stood over me again as I found myself back to where we began.
"That wasn't nice Mandy… I guess I should punish you."
I felt Boogie slimy snake hand slither around me binding my body. Boogie tower over me as grab the edge of my shirt. I glare at him still struggling but in the back of my I knew there was no way I could break free. Slowly I close my eyes waiting for whatever he was planning as I was thinking about one person. Grim…
SMACK!
I felt Boogie grip suddenly vanish as I open my eyes to see Grim standing over a frightened Boogie. Knowing Grim for two years and seeing him do his reaping job I always thought it was joke that Grim had the title of being call death… But the way Grim look at Boogie I did question that Grim would heisted to kill someone.
"Grim buddy, pale, I know this look bad you got to believe me this is not what it look like."
Boogies try his best to persuade Grim as his gaze turn to me.
'It was Mandy idea she thought it would be a great idea-"
Grim did not let Boogie finish his sentence as he let out a furious punch to Boogie face. I was shock to see Grim keeping his onslaught on Boogie as he pleaded for Grim to stop. I look at Grim face to see it void of all emotion and his once calm blue eyes was now replace with dangerous bloody red one. I suddenly felt myself getting up as I walk behind Grim throwing my arms around his waist trying to pull him back.
"Grim… Grim I command you to stop… Grim please stop."
Hearing my plea Grim finally stop his assault on Boogie as he drop his almost lifeless body on the ground. Grim slowly turn towards me as I got a full view of his face. Seeing the dark look on his face, I never felt so petrified of Grim as he slowly grab my hand leaving the battered Boogie as the two of us walk out of the building. I did not know what to say to Grim as the two of us walk in silence heading to my house. Finally, I could not take the silence as I forcing Grim to let go of my hand as he turn to me.
"You know this is all your fault…"
I said in a low and threating voice but Grim just look at me with his emotionless eyes.
"If you did not do what you did with Mandy this would not have-"
Before my sentence could finish Grim suddenly punch a wall next to him breaking it in one swift punch. I stay quit not faze at what Grim did as he retracted his arm walking towards me. Grim suddenly push me to the wall holding both my hand with his as he look me straight in the eyes.
"Not so long ago you told me that I was you property… well you know what, just as I belong to you, you also belong to me and I would not let some low life degenerate asshole touch what belong to me."
I did not flinch at what Grim said or even blink as I felt Grim grip tighten around my wrist as I brought my face closer to his.
"If I truly belong to you than prove it."
I remember that most people always fantasia how their first kiss would be great but as Grim crash his lips on mine all I thought about was control. The two of us kiss each other as if it was a battle and neither one of us wanted to surrender. When the two of us broke free from the kiss all we did was glare at each other hearing our heavy breath. The two of us stay like that for a while until I heard Grim speak.
"I hate you..."
I look at Grim for a moment not knowing what he was saying as his glare softens giving me a smile. My face suddenly reddens as I finally got what he meant by those words as I slowly look down.
"I hate you too…"
After that whole make out scene and that strange confession Grim and I finally made it back to my house were my parent were waiting for me with some bad news. Mindy parents were furious about me almost trying to kill their daughter and that they talk to her lawyer and try to send me to prison. Mindy parent and I got into this whole case for a few weeks but luckily, for me, Grim was able to help me as he was able to "persuade" the judge into letting me leave this stupid town and go somewhere else, which I did not mind at all. Therefore, after a few months of packing and moving, me and Grim left the stupid town of Endsvilla and were heading to Megavilla.
"So what do you think of the name Joe Black?"
I look over at Grim as I was putting my stuff together, and saw Grim wearing a school uniform of my new school. I gave him a puzzle look as he walk towards me.
"It ok… Why are you wearing that?"
Grim smile as he told me he enrolled at my new school as I stood shock.
"Why?" "Because now I can spend more time with you, beside I think going to school will be much more fun as I wait for more job assignment."
I just rolled my eyes thinking how stupid Grim or should I saw Joe was. When I finish arranging the apartment I sat down on the coach as Grim rested his head on my lap. I started playing with his brown hair hating myself for doing something so girly, Nevertheless, knowing that I get to have Grim all to myself with no parent, no Billy, I let it slide just this once.
"So what know Queen BB?"
I rolled my eyes at Grim flicking his forehead as he sat back up. Grim gave me a small smile looking at me as he carefully strokes my cheek. His hand ran down my neck as I look at his cold blue eye as he brought me in for a kiss. The two of us stay like that for quite a while until I broke it
"Grim I'm going to tell you something so you better listen carefully."
Grim gave me a puzzle look as I smirk creep across my lips. I put my face close to him so that my lip was close to his ear. I heard Grim swallow as I whisper in his ear.
"Thank you for being my friend bonehead."
