Anyway, on with the chappie!
Where is she? The black orb Death was playing with flared with sudden intensity. Several dots appeared, clustered together near a building on the other side of town. Another dot, brighter in color than the others, appeared to Death's right, moving fast. The sudden flare of an ecto-signature alerted him to his sons approach.
"David, what have you got?" He turned towards the young boy. "Sir," David knelt in front of his dad, bowing his head and hiding his black eyes. "Stand my son," His father commanded, sounding bored. "Dad, Alex has been recruiting more kids to help her in her quest," David was careful not to add what she had told him. "Recruiting huh?" Death scratched his chin, his eyes focusing on some far away point. David nodded slightly and watched his father with weary eyes.
"My lord," A scratchy voice sounded from behind David, startling him. The white wolf chuckled at the boys' uneasiness. His cold, yellow eyes drilled holes in the pits of David's soul, making him shiver. "Ah...Claw, so good to see you," The battle-scared wolf named Claw bowed his respects to Death. He looked like a wolf form of the pathetic Vlad Plasmius.
"I have gathered intel that my niece, Luna, is travelling with your young, disgusting daughter, Alex." Death looked surprised at this. "And this niece of yours, Luna, is she like you?" Claw blinked at this and cocked his head to the side. "No, no she is not sir," David backed away slowly, hoping to leave unnoticed. "David? Are you feeling all right son?" Death and Claw studied the boy. "Yes, sir, I'm fine," David explained to them, squirming slightly. Death looked bored once again. "Go on, you don't need to hear any more of this," Death waved his hand in dismissal. David nodded and turned away from the two grownups. "Oh, and David?" He looked back. "We're watching you," Death informed him, before turning back to Claw and pretending nothing had happened. David gulped, but walked the rest of the way to the door. As soon as he was out in fresh air, however, he changed into Evil and took off into the sky, towards Fenton Works.
Claw couldn't shake the feeling of betrayal coming off the young boy. His nervousness proved that something was amiss, but Claw couldn't bring it up to the boy's father while David was still there. When the boy had gone, and the tension had eased up, Claw turned to Death. "I don't have a very good feeling about your boy," Death just looked down the corridor David had disappeared down. "He seems clouded with indecision," Death murmured, not meaning for Claw to hear. The wolf nodded his massive head, and a deep rumbling began to build in his massive chest.
Death stared at the wolf for a minute before turning his attention to the black ball of energy in his hand. David's dot was heading fast towards the larger cluster of dots. "What is he doing," Claw just looked at Death. "Not sure sir," Death looked back down the corridor and reached out with his mind. A ghost, looking a lot like a mobster, came running down the hall. He stopped in front of Death and bowed. "Go, find David, spy on him, but don't make yourselves known," The goon nodded his ugly head and disappeared with a small poof.
Soo, what do ya think? I had a request for the wolf, and this might give you some more insight on Death. I know it's short, but if I had continued, it never would have ended lol. Review please! I hope y'all really like it!
