The thought of honing my powers was overwhelming. I knew I could defeat any fire demon that came my way and not only that, I had significantly moved up my levels and I was not a level 3 grim reaper. I changed my appearance, I dyed my hair grey to look like Aurora. Aurora was a goddess of power and her hair was grey, wanting me to look more like her, I changed my hair color too. It was getting closer to the end of the semester and I knew I had to focus more on my studies and race my falling GPA. As I walked past the school corridor, I met with Evelyn. We bumped into each other and I bent down to help her pack her books. " Sorry, I wasn't looking up," I replied giving her back her books. " Max?" Evelyn said gently looking at my face. " What have you done with your hair?" She asked looking at my face I smiled " Well, does it suit me?" I asked with a smile etched across my face. " What are you doing?" I quickly asked not giving her a chance to compliment me on my look " You look, diffe
The demon stood up from the ground, its face spreading into a wicked grin as it recovered. A feeling of anxiety constricted my chest, pushing aside my weariness as I realized the seriousness of the situation. This was far from finished, not by any means. I feel frightened for a moment, unsure of how to approach the fiery demon in front of me.I extended my hand to halt Derek and the rest of the reapers as they advanced with their weapons drawn. "I said to wait," and my voice remained resolute despite the uncertainty shaking me. "We cannot overcome it in the same manner."The words of Aurora resonated in my thoughts, encouraging me to delve further and harness the strength inside me. But in what way? I shut my eyes and concentrated on the feeling of energy flowing through my body, attempting to link up with the same source of power that had just fueled me.Aurora's soft words in my head reassured me despite the turmoil: "Kraus, you can accomplish this." She said, "Have faith in yoursel
I looked before me, and I saw a bold figure getting out of the car. The light flashed towards me, making it impossible for me to see who it was. "You need to get out of here, Evelyn. I can't protect you while I try to fight off this thing." I said, gently looking at her face.Evelyn wanted to stay, but my voice changed as my reaper form came out of my body. "Go! Know!" I shouted at her, and she ran off like some scared rabbit. I didn't mean to frighten her, though. "I can see you have finally come to get fused with your inner powers." The voice came to me, and I wondered who it was. The demon had glowing eyes, and I knew it was not just any demon. Most of the demons came by smell. They remind me of her levels, and by now I know which is which. "Do you think I am scared of you?" I stood still, looking at the approaching demon. "You should be; I still remember your parents screaming in pain as I consumed their souls. Most especially your father, I think you missed the part where I t
Evelyn went on about how her family knew about the supernatural world and magic. "My parent's lineage is of a powerful being. But I didn't believe in any of that until I met you." She said it gently, looking up at my face."I didn't know the grim reapers existed myself, and I found it weird that I was becoming one myself. The fact that I could see demons was also something that I had thought was always impossible." "Do they scare you?" Evenly asked "At first, yes. But now, all I have to do is fight them and send them back to the abyss. Although there is a particular fire demon I am in search of, It killed my parents and trapped their souls. I need to find him and free my parents's souls." I said, looking at the food before me. Evelyn noticed my mood and placed a reassuring hand on me. "You are going to do great, Kraus. And I do not doubt that you are going to catch this demon and free your parents. There is a pool in my family house. It helps with relaxation and also helps you with
I entered my dorm feeling fulfilled. I had my powers back, and I was back to my kickass form. I heard a message tone, and I knew it was the alert from the last mission I had finished. I remember my promise to Derek to check by the gym house. I knew I had to be trained in combat and how to master my powers. The thought of finding my parents killer came back into my mind. I knew I must not be alone, and I needed to carry my friends along. I smiled to see the look on Evelyn's face, and I remembered my promise to her. The. thought of being preyed on by the Elite was all I could think about, but I would be there to protect her. I needed someone by my side. Grace? I knew I couldn't have Grace as my girlfriend with Stephan away from her. But what was his deal? Why does he hate me so much? Was it because I was dating his supposed girlfriend, or was there more to what was happening? I was lost. I was lost in my own thoughts.None of the students want to be my friends, not after what happened t
As Zoey tried to wipe Evelyn's memories, she felt a cold hand on her shoulder. She turned around to see me, my eyes glowing blue, staring at her. Evelyn took advantage of the distraction and ran away, confused and scared."Max, what's going on?" Zoey asked, surprised by my sudden movement."I...I don't know," I replied, my voice weak. "I feel...different."Derek and Gilbert approached me, concerned. "What do you mean, Max?" Derek asked.I tried to stand up, but my body felt heavy and cold. "I feel like...I'm not alone in my body anymore."Aurora's spirit appeared beside me, her eyes fixed on me. "You've fused with the earth boy, Max," Apollo said, appearing beside her. "You need to learn to control your new powers."I looked at my hands, and they began to glow with a blue light. "What's happening to me?"Aurora's spirit merged with my body, and I felt a surge of energy and strength. "You're becoming a powerful being, Max," Apollo said. "But you need to learn to control your powers bef
My vision became blurry and I felt like leaving my body as blood flowed from my wound. I looked at the fire demon and I saw a sinister smile on his face. The restaurant door flanged open and I saw Derrick and his minions enter the room and the fight began. I fell to the floor bleeding out while Evelyn ran to my side and had her hand pressed on the wound. "Max, stay with me," she shouted hitting me in the face. I felt this was it, I was finally going to meet my parents but then I remembered their spirit was still trapped. I needed to free them if I want to ever see them again. Zoey ran to my side and looked at me. " You never cease to amaze me, Max Kraus. You have no powers and yet you are bold enough to take on a level 2 fire demon." She said looking at me Zoey placed her hands on my wound and tried I heal me but it wasn't working. " He is not heating!" She shouted to Derrick who immediately left Gilbert with the fire demon. " Kid, get me some blanket to help with the wound." Derek
I ran as fast as I could, my heart pounding in my chest. The once serene environment is now twisted into a nightmarish landscape. Trees with gnarled branches reached out like skeletal fingers, and the flowers wilted and turned black as if touched by death itself. "Mirror, what's happening?" I gasped between breaths as I sprinted down the path."They found us." Mirror's voice echoed in his mind, urgency tinged with fear.My mind raced. Who had found us? Why were they being chased? Questions swirled in my head, but there was no time to dwell on them. I had to focus on escaping.I ran toward the light and found myself sweating profusely. I got up and went to have my bath. "What was that about?" I asked Mirror. [I believe they are on to you; you need your powers back.] Mirror repliedI shrieked as I washed myself. I looked at my stomach, and I saw I was bruised. My dream was beginning to get real. Something has never happened to me before. Walking out of the bathroom, I looked at the mi
I ran towards the record room and kicked the door open. " What do you want?" a stern voice asked looking at me. I held onto a chair trying to breathe. " Can I see?" I asked still gasping for a breather " See what?" The stern voice asked again I tilt my head up gently to look at his face " There was a murder on the football field last few months. Do you have it on record?" I asked staring at the big monitor right in front of me. " Do you think if there were such vicious activities I wouldn't see it?" The bald man replied shooting lasers out of his eyes. I felt a little Intermediate by him. He was exceptionally tall and he was muscular. " Can you at least check?" I pressed further He grabbed his mouse " What day would that be?" he asked without looking at my face.I scratched my head gently trying to remember which day it was. " Don't tell me you don't know the date you are talking about. I guess the person is of no value to you. [ MARCH 12TH, 2013 ] Mirror said gently coming to my
