Chapter 3: TWO
HAZEL
The black blood splattered across my face as my scythe was drenched with the beast's blood. Skull, my familiar growls intensely at the beast who was trying to attack me from behind but was discovered by her. Skull my buddy bites into the neck of the beast as it groans and growls at the sight of my familiar. The beast puts a hand over to its wound losing its balance. It was still willing to fight in its current condition. I applaud it.
However, its fate has been decided the moment it decides to fight a reaper. Its eyes were filled tremor as it moved backward each time I moved forward. I held tightly onto my scythe and swiftly I cut off its head.
His bloodied body lands on the ground with a black orb coming out of his body in surrender. I gladly took it into the palm of my hands. This soul wasn't even pure anymore. It was so black filled with obsidian red. It shows how much this soul was tainted with blood lust and evil deeds that it has done. This soul is going down to Inferno. It was putting up a fight knowing if it truly died. It knows where it's going to go.
"Watch out!" I heard but I didn't have to. Skull she always has my back. She slashes the beast with her claws on its chest. I took my scythe and slashed the beast down from the head down to its body, and another soul came out. This time the soul was white. It looks like this guy right here only got turned recently.
It was lucky that we got in here in time otherwise it would turn out like the other beast that I just killed filled with evil thoughts and evil intention.
I glared at Nico, but she panted heavily and revealed her human face out in the open. It could be dangerous, but both of us knew that no one was here. We could sense it. Still, it is best to proceed with precaution. There are those monsters who could mask their presence that even we reapers can't sense. Those are truly terrifying ones. Many of us were lost because of them.
Using the power of a reaper Nico tries to look at my face through my disguise. However, she won't be able to because as much as she wants to look at my face. I won't let her. She groans when she knew that I didn't want to reveal my face to her. She scowls. We were dressed as a reaper for a reason. We hunt those who have turned evil and retrieve souls back to the HQ. It has always been this way, and it will stay this way for the world to function.
If the monsters or any human beings know our identity then they will hunt us. As much as every creature out there wants have our head. We, reapers are still human. We only transform when we are summoned or called.
I walked over to Nico and patted her shoulder when she thought I was going to scold her again for being careless, but for today she has done fairly well. Handling three wild evil werejaguar spirits on her own that was unwilling to cross over was good enough who just became a reaper. "Put back your skeleton face, Nico," I stated. "There are those who could come at us in broad daylight if we revealed our face to them."
"Ok," she said and blushed. Almost immediately she transforms back into a full reaper. I could totally why the HQ wants me to train her to become a hunter. She does have the potential as well as having a white tiger for a familiar its quite impressive.

In the faculty, both of us watched Jonas puts both the soul into the big glass tube, and the doorway to another bright side of the world opens and the other down into the hall of punishment. Seven of them went down while only one went up. I could tell how uneasy it was for Nico. She was clenching onto her shirt when she saw the corrupted souls was going down to Inferno.
"Hazel?" Nico asked.
"What's wrong?" I replied.
"Why are there so many bad people in the world?"
Looking down at her I could still see she was still a sheltered child unable to understand how the world functions. "Many people have a different mindset and some of them use unnecessary or illegal force to pleased themselves," I explained.
"Even if it means killing?" She clenched.
"Yes," I admitted.
"Does that mean we're the same as well?"
I smile at her question. "Maybe."
After all, why were given the chance to become a reaper? It was all to make up for the sin we committed. I didn't understand what made Nico become one, but we all have history. If the HQ didn't test out my soul a long time ago to be a reaper I would've gone down to Inferno by now. I don't know if this is my retribution or a second chance on living, but I knew this is my job from here on out and I'll do everything I can to make up for the sin that I had committed.
However, someone is stuck in my mind for a while. I can't get her out of my mind as much as I want to. A reaper is not allowed to love. I reminded. So what does this mean for the two of us? Tell me, Skylar Patterson, what does our love mean?
Unable to suppress this feeling. I went out to find my mate after my job was done. I hovered over to my mate. While she was looking worried on the mattress I captured her lips with mine. She opened up her lips in shocked but that only lets me fulfilled my desire of tasting her mouth with my tongue even further. She moans in pleasure. When I pulled away a trail of wet saliva traveled down her mouth. She began panting and hyperventilating. I licked my upper lips. I wanted her more as she looked at me with lust, and her thin nightgown was not helping me to have control over myself.
However, I must resist and kissed her on her forehead. "We meet again, mate," I said and gave her a hickey on her neck before disappearing again into the shadows to remind her that I was here, and it wasn't a dream. "I'll see you in the morning."
When the sun came I got into an appropriate attire with a splash of jadore perfume onto my clothing to start out my day. I hopped into my car and I smile. Hello, Seikan University here I come.
