With Mandy
Claire and Phil were shocked beyond belief by the story their daughter just told them
"That's about it" Mandy said as she finished her story
"S-so you're telling us you and Billy won the Grim Reaper as a slave in a game of limbo" Phil asked
"And you went on several strange adventures for years" Claire continued
"And Billy is the son of the Grim Reaper, who is now dead" Phil finished
"Pretty much yeah" Mandy answered
"W-well that's a lot of stuff to process" Claire said when suddenly a rift appeared in the middle of the lawn, and out jumped Billy
"Billy, you're back" Mandy said with a little concern in her voice
"And better then ever Mandy" Billy said with a slight smirk "I am the new grim reaper"
"W-what? How did that happen?" Phil asked as he came out as well
"Someone had to take my father's place, and I filled the spot." Billy explained
"I guess that makes sense... Well Billy, you must be exhausted by now, would you like to go to sleep, it's getting late." Phil said
"I suppose" was Billy's simple response
"Okay, Mandy. Would you show him where the bathroom is?" Phil asked
"Yeah, I wanted to talk to him in private anyways" Mandy responded as she took Billy's hand and led him upstairs, her face burning red.
Phil couldn't help but chuckle at the scene
"What's so funny dear?" Claire asked her husband
"I do believe our daughter is falling in love" Phil answered with a smile
"What? You mean like that one kid, what was his name...Piff?" Claire asked
"No, that was just a schoolgirl crush, haven't you been noticing her acting very strange when near Billy?" Phil asked
"Define strangely"
"She blushes, she tries to take him to a place to talk privately, and she holds his hand instead of dragging him by the ear like she used to do" Phil explained
Claire stayed silent, pondering the changes of her daughter. "You're right...I guess she really is falling in love with Billy" she exclaimed
"I only hope Billy returns the same feelings, because she needs as much love as she can get. She's been getting darker and darker as the years go by" Phil said
"Yeah" Claire replied
With Billy and Mandy
Mandy led Billy to the bathroom "Okay, here's the bathroom, you can change here" she said
Billy shook his head "no need, watch this" Billy said as his robe turned into ooze and covered his body, when it hardened it turned into black pajamas with scythes on it, the edges of his sleeves were red.
Mandy was stunned by how good Billy looked, but shook the feeling off "Well in that case, can I talk to you privately?" she asked
"Sure" Billy responded as he followed Mandy into her room and she shut and locked the door. "So what's on your mind?" he asked
"Well Billy, we both know almost everything about you has changed, your clothes, your attitude, your personality.."
"What's your point?"
"W-well" Mandy asked with a stutter and a blush, which got a raised eyebrow from Billy "D-did your feelings for me change?" she asked, Billy's eyes widened as he too blushed like a tomato "W-what brings this question up?" he asked
"W-well, as the years have gone by, I've been noticing you changing, you were turning into a even kinder and nicer boy then ever and you always treated me nicely when everyone else treated me like I was a monster. And now, when you changed, you showed nothing but coldness to me and everyone around you. So do you feel the same way you told me when we first started high school?" Mandy asked as the two remembered the day
flashback
Two years earlier
It was the first day of school and just like in elementary school Billy was being picked on by the school bully Sperg
"Are you gonna give me my lunch money meat?" Sperg said as air escaped from his mouth filled with rotting and decaying teeth, filling Billy's nose with a stench that made his eyes water.
"Woo! You needs to get some mouthwash Sperg!" Billy exclaimed while holding his nose
Sperg quickly got angry and clenched his fist, he was about to punch Billy when a voice rang out.
"Hey meat head!! Let go of the bone head!!" Sperg quickly knew who that voice belonged to and quickly let go of Billy and ran away screaming before Mandy stomped near Billy.
"You saved me Mandy! I lovez you!!" Billy said as he wrapped Mandy in a hug "I'm gonna marry you some day!!" he exclaimed
Mandy groaned and pushed Billy off. "Maybe if you got smarter than a monkey and a little darker in your attitude, I might consider it"
"R-really? Yahoo!" Billy yelled before running off
end flashback
"Oh yeah, I remember that day" Billy answered
"Well...do you still love me?" Mandy asked as she turned around, hiding her blush.
She heard footsteps and felt herself turned around. What happened next caused her heart to skip a beat and her knees to become weak. Billy kissed her lightly on the lips, he blushing almost as hard as her, he took his lips off hers and the two looked at each other for several moments, just peering into each others eyes. Dull blue peering into evil and dark green eyes.
Without warning the two slammed their lips together. Billy slinked his tongue into Mandy's mouth and began tasting every inch of her sweet mouth that tasted like strawberries, but Mandy wasn't going to lose the battle, she defended her mouth with her tongue and managed to catch Billy off guard by pushing him onto her bed, she crawled onto his chest and kissed him again, she stuck her tongue into his mouth and started to explore and taste it as well, as the two continued their tongue war, Billy pulled the hairband out of Mandy's hair, effectively letting her long hair droop down onto Billy's face
"So what do you say Billy? Shall the Grim Reaper and Princess of Darkness enter the dating world together?" she asked
"I'd be honored to date you, my Princess of Darkness" he answered as he kissed her hand
"Good, I'm going to change into my pajamas, I'll be back" Mandy responded as she left the room to the bathroom
"Okay" Billy responded, he was feeling a little drowsy, he tried to stay awake but fell asleep right there, the stress and fatigue of the day knocking him out.
Mandy came out minutes later in a short black nightgown with a yellow flower on it, she notices Billy fell asleep and sighed "He may be a idiot sometimes" she whispered to herself as she stroked Billy's hair "But now I guess he's my idiot" she said with a slight smile as she climbed under the covers and embraced Billy, for the first time in years, she was happy. She soon fell asleep
With Junior
Junior woke up hours later in a complete daze "Ohh...where am I?" he groaned as he walked around, finding himself into an alleyway.
A small group, of gang members, no more then five, were following Junior. "Hey kid!" the leader shouted to get Juniors attention "Give us everything you've got and we won't cap you!" the leader said as he pulled out a pistol.
Junior simply walked towards the group
"Hey are you deaf or something!? I said give us all ya got or I'll shoot you!" the leader said as he pointed the gun at Junior
"Try me" Junior taunted, the leader fired all of his bullets at Junior, but the attack proved useless as his tentacles blocked the attack.
"My turn!" the darkness roared as it manifested itself into thick fanged tentacles with glowing eyes on Junior's back. The tentacles lunged out at the gang members, killing all of them and devouring their hearts with relative ease.
"Was the heart eating necessary?" Junior asked a little nauseous from the site
"The more hearts I eat the more power I gain" the darkness explained
"A simple yes would have sufficed, I don't need to know the deranged ways you increase your power" Junior retorted
"Shut it!" The darkness yelled as the tentacles absorbed back into Junior's back.
"Hmm" Junior exclaimed as he crouched to the dead gang members and searched their pockets for wallets. He found 900 dollars total on the gang members.
"Well, while you feed your belly, you're also feeding my wallet, which is always helpful" Junior said as he stuffed the money in his pocket and walked away from the scene of carnage.
Back at Mandy's house
"Ah, it's so peaceful" Phil exclaimed as he sat down in a comfortable chair, Claire had already gone to bed and he was just relaxing. There was a knock at the door, he got up and went to the door. When he opened it, it was Gladys. "Oh hi Gladys! What's going on?" Phil asked as he opened the door more.
"M-my baby is gone Phil, h-he called me a bitch and left" she stuttered as tears streamed down her face.
"O-oh, I'm sorry to hear that Gladys. I wish I could help but neither Claire, Mandy, or I have seen Billy since before school" he lied
Gladys sensed the lie and glared "Don't lie to me Phil" she said in her insane voice as her facial tic returned.
Phil returned the glare "I'm not lying! And get off my property before I charge you with trespassing!" he yelled in her face
Gladys growled and pushed Phil to the ground "NO ONE TAKES MY BABY AWAY!!" she screamed as she ran around the house breaking the doors in, waking Billy, Mandy, and Claire up.
Billy assumed it was a burglar and his scythe formed in his hand, as Gladys broke the door open Billy swung his scythe, the blade piercing through Gladys throat. Both Billy and Gladys' eyes widened as she fell to the floor dead, Billy dropped his scythe, and fell onto the floor in shock, staring at his dead mother's corpse.
Mandy went over to Billy and started to shake him, but he just stayed frozen "Billy, Billy...Billy stay with me!!" as she slapped him, he recoiled from the blow as his cheek glowed red and stung.
"I-i killed my mom Mandy, I-i thought she was a burglar" Billy stuttered fearfully
"Yes, but you did it because you wanted to protect me and my family. Besides, you knew you would eventually have to do it, you are the Grim Reaper after all" Mandy said comfortingly.
"I suppose you're right" Billy said with a sigh as he slashed the soul out of his mother and opened a rift to the underworld, the soul flew into the portal and it then closed. "Mandy, you go back to bed, I need to bury my mom" Billy said as he picked his mother's corpse up
Mandy only nodded sadly as Billy left.
Twenty Minutes Later
Billy had carried his mother's corpse to the local cemetery and put her down near a empty space, he noticed something fall from her pocket, he crouched down and picked it up. He noticed it was a gold locket in the shape of a heart. On the back of it were the words "Grim and Gladys" engraved into it, he opened the locket and saw a old and worn picture, it was of Gladys kissing Grim on the cheek, a small tear rolled down Billy's cheek as he saw what his parents were like before he was born. He pocketed the locket and took a shovel he took with him from his back, he proceeded to dig a hole. Twenty minutes later he finished the hole and gently put his mother in, he refilled the hole and took a large metal cross from the gate of the cemetery and drove it into the ground. He stood there silently, just honoring his parents in silent as the wind whistled across his face, what was he going to tell Harold?
'Eh, the fat slob probably won't even realize' Billy thought, when suddenly there was the sound of glass breaking, and all the lights around went out
"Hm hm hm, come here to mourn Billy?" Junior chuckled evilly as he stepped into the cemetery
"I should ask you the same thing Junior" Billy replied
"Nah, I just came to get a little darkness, and KILL YOU!!" he at first started calmly but then yelled as a darkness tentacle came flying at Billy and bit and clamped onto his shoulder, Billy grunted in pain as another tentacle bit into his other shoulder and threw him to the ground
"What now Billy? I've got power my father could only dream of, how are you going to beat me!?" Junior yelled
"Like this" Billy calmly said as he placed his hands on the tentacles, and within seconds they erupted in flames, they screeched before turning into dust and falling to the ground.
Junior growled "Do you think that's all the power I have Billy?" he roared
"I certainly hope not Junior" Billy replied as he got back up, his pajamas oozing back into his robe, his scythe coming into hand
"Hm, I'll retreat for now, I have no intention of starting a war...yet" Junior said as he ran off, his tentacles increasing his speed
Billy stood perplexed 'What did he mean yet?" he asked himself as he walked home
