Jack And Death

chapter 1- jack

The first thing that comes to mind when i hear the words how are you? Is shit absolutely shit but as i have learned people bother you more if you do, so my usual answer is good or great. That hasnt ever back fired usually people leave me alone after that and ignoring them too also helps. If you havent guessed i hate dealing with people. Not that i dont like people, but my experience with them is less than well okay. By the way my name is jack an average weird six foot and two inch smart guy in glasses. My biggest problem is with how all people hate me after i speak like my words are a poisoning venmon of hatred that infects them with a single syllable. But of course these same "people" are the first to cheat off me and steal my work. The only problem is that my work is way above their heads. Sucks to be them i think or thats what i want to believe. Do these others not look in the mirror? To me i see their true faces i think, because the few nice ones like ally and clare my childhood friends well they are the most beautiful girls ive ever seen and haven't changed. while these others even the teacher they look like dead monsters like seeing wraiths out of a old lure book. I have learned those who look like the monsters well thats what their true nature is while the beautiful ones like clare and ally they are the good ones. It also doesn't help the fact everyone thinks im weird and crazy. Hell i do too i hear things sometimes like random voices that sound like they are being whispered into my ear they say "can you hear? " or the most annoying " how are you today jack?" But usually they go away after a few seconds. Today is a normal day at the University ally and clare are passed out on the cott in my office and my research into mental disorders are progressing at good pace. But at this moment im doing an experiment to help my friends with their chemistry homework. Yea cliché i know but im glad to for once so for now it is normal till i cleaned up and heard clare scream from the office so i drop everything and with all my speed i darted into the room thats when i noticed him. This giant seven foot monster of a man sticking a sword through my chest. Do you realize how much that hurts? That bastard stabbed me! And yet my first words were to my friends "Run! Guys! Run!" Thats all i can manage to get out when i see the girls run with full speed out the door screaming for help. I noticed i had two syringes full of a powerful seditive in one and the other was full of an acidic compound. I injected both into the giants arms before passing out. The last things i hear is of him laughing at least he didnt go after the girls that would be a dam shame. Thats when i woke up in darkness thats when our little adventure started offically i guess you could say when my world changed and i found out the secret.
A figure comes out of the darkness and starts to get closer suddenly i feel afraid that i couldnt explain it was just there as the figure in a cloak gets closer and suddenly i realized i cant move and when the mysterious figure gets in full view he appears as man in a suit not like a fancy tux or anything like that no it was more like a suit of robes flowing in wind where wind does not blow and the figure speakes " my my my it seems you have finally awaken i was begining to get loney here waiting jack" i stuttered " h-h-how do you know my na-name?" I inquired curiously and his reply sent shivers down my spine " why my dear idiot i know everyones name do you know mine?" He asks as he takes off his hood to reveal his face which switches between a skeleton like to flesh like when he moves. And when i realized that i spurted out " you are death." I say numbly in disbelief trying to think of logical possibility other than this of course failing meseribly always remembering I had died. Death simply smiled and said " so you do have a brain after all now you know what business i have with you now?" He says almost happily and i couldnt help but to say "well i assume you come here to give me my 50 pornstar fantasy or to force me to watch some stupid video constantly  in all eternity" death laughs and smacks me upside my head and replies " hey smart ass a no could have done it or even heavan? But neither i need you to pick up the job your last relative dropped and failed thus being reaped by me personally" he explained  and i just shook my head and asked "why me? Yea im smart but what the hell do you need from me? " death just sits rubbing his temple and explained " look you are smart and you proved a ability  of courage and sacrifice  thats what i need and you also have a gift of great power in you so i need you to go back and follow the deal your great ancestors  made with me" now at this point in just trying to wrap my head around this news and once again in disbelief  i reply "so how do i access  this ability  and what do i gotta do?" Death smiles and replies " good now hold on and ill send a reaper to be your handler " death then shoves his hand through my chest then twists something inside of me then pulls out his hand and leaves a inprint on my chest. It hurt so bad i screamed and thats when he just walked away laughing and i could hear him telling me now dont be reckless and of course i think i wont and i wake back up in a morgue of all places just in time the guy was about to open me up when i wake up i had not a scratch on me and the guy in there just screamed his head off and a security  guard runs in and just sees me throwing up beside the table i just look at him and simply say "sorry it seems i survived after all please dont shoot " the gaurd just laughs in relief and simply  says "well at least you are still human" i chuckle yea well a bit weird but yes still human" he smiles and helps me out to the front where officers were waiting where i go to the police station and explain and make up some possible  way i could have survived using my knowledge  of chemestry to explain it and they bought it they then gave me a ride home and when i got in i called both of the girls who were shocked and happy and my only thought was what in the hell did i get myself into now?
No matter what things were going to change and a big storm is coming i could feel it in my bones
