I was reading a post when an idea for a story just hit me. I hope you like it.
Chapter 1
When I finally got back from delivering the last letter, it was dark. There were trees growing everywhere around the house and there were some wilted flowers. The moon was shining brightly through the an opening in the tree. I was still wearing the black and dirty uniform I wore ever since I was born. The cape made a rustling noise against the breeze. As I walked through the garden, my scythe made whirring noises as it floated through.
"How long is it gonna be 'til we get back to the house?" moaned Kex. He was a tall scythe, and he usually accompanied me on all of my missions.
"Just a few more steps and we're there", I replied with my regular expressionless voice.
"I don't think I can float any longer. It's so far away."
"Just wait."
When we finally got closer to the house, Kex collapsed on the ground.
"Can't......walk........any......more..", he said.
"Don't tell me I have to carry you", I said in a gloomy voice.
"Please."
"No."
"I promise you that you won't have to do it again."
"Yeah right", I said sarcastically.
It was still dark and even I couldn't walk any further. The lights in the house were on. Blackbringer, I thought. He always put on parties at my house with Vesper. Then after the party was done, they would collapse on the floor, drunk. Kex would have to poke them til they woke up. Then I would have to clean up the house.
"Pleaaassee", begged Kex.
I couldn't stand his complaining anymore, so I took him and walked on. As soon as we reached the house, Kex energetically leaped out of my hand and floated the way into the house. I glared at him. Oh, yeah. He's sooooo tired, I thought sarcastically. I followed him into the house. The party was still going, although it was later than usual. The clock read 12:05 A.M. I looked around the room to see if Vesper and Blackbringer were there. After a few minutes, I went upstairs to see if they were up there. It was dark in the hallway and the only light was coming from the bathroom, in which I could hear Kex relaxing peacefully in the tub, taking a bath. I looked in Kex's room. It was full of posters of the greatest scythe ever, Skulldraig. The bed was covered in piles of magazines and the couch in the far corner of the room had a picture of Skulldraig. But there was still no sign of Vesper or Blackbringer. I walked out of the room where all of a sudden a lamp hit the space right next to me. I sighed. This happened every time. Whenever Blackbringer invited the "Dessy Brothers", they would mess up the whole room and I would have to use Kex's magic to clean it up. But I decided not to. After all, they would break it again. I went to my room. My room had a few pictures of my mother, the Grim Reaper, and a picture of Kex with the Devil.There was a desk where a pile of new letters to be delivered tomorrow were. The couch in the far left corner of the room was mostly where Kex would relax after his bath, and he would watch the large plasma screen TV situated in the back of the room. My bed was a large king size bed that had veils covering it. I heard noises from it. When I opened the veil, I saw Blackbringer and Vesper making out. They were naked, too. Their hand wre moving each other's bodies hungrily.
"Hey. You idiots. Isn't this time a bit late for making out?" I asked in my voice.
Blackbringer looked up at me with his blue eyes and blushed.
"Uh", he stammered. He's obviously embarrassed, I thought rather darkly. Vesper looked up at me, blushing.
"Um. Sorry, but can we use your bed for a bit more?" Vesper asked.
"Why?" I asked.
"It's comfy."
I glared at her. "Why can't you use your own bed?"
"It's not as comfortable."
"No. You can't use my bed. I have to get a rest or else I won't have any energy to deliver the letters tomorrow. Speaking of which, don't you have to deliver letters tomorrow, too?"
"Yes."
"Then shoo."
Vesper and Blackbringer finally got out of my bed after a while of threatening from me. I went downstairs to find out that the party was finally finished. The clock read 12:10. The room was a disaster. There were beer bottles scattered here and there. Some tables were overturned and lamps were smashed against the wall. I looked under the couch, where I found a woman's bra under one of the cushions. When Kex was finally out of the bathroom, I used his magic to fix everything up. Then I took a bath and went to bed. When I finally woke up, it was 8:30 A.M. I got up and put on all the things for delivering the letters. I woke up Kex and went out.
"Who's the first letter adressed to?" asked Kex.
"Some girl named Megan. She lives in the upperworld and goes to Hidan Academy", I replied.
"Who's it from?"
"Her dead father."
"Oh that's sad", said Kex rather sadly.
I just shrugged. "I forgot to ask you, Kex. Why did you join the scythe society in the underworld?"
"That's like asking why you're in the underworld", he muttered.
"I'm in the underworld because I was born here. But why are you here?"
"Eh. I guess that I thought scythes were cool when I was a human."
"Oh."
When I finally got to my mother's house, I saw her kissing my father, the Devil. "Hey, mom!" I shouted out. She looked around to me with a swish of her beautiful long, black hair.
"Hey there, dear", she greeted rather happily, adn took me within her arms.
"Mom. I need to go to the upperworld."
She frowned. "Okay, fine. But once in a while, visit your poor mother, okay?"
"Fine."
"Oh yeah. You have one more letter to deliver, too, Mika", dad said."It appeared just recently from a man that wanted to send his son a farewell letter explaining his death." He came closer toward me and handed me the letter. I took it and he gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Now, now, Rathersting. Don't hog her all to yourself", said mother.
"Fine, fine, Cloudia", said father. he backed away. "Good luck!"
I waved goodbye to them both before a gust of wind blew me straight up to the upperworld.
