Chapter 1
''Wow!'' I say, ''it's so pretty out.''
Grell Sutcliff nods, while he walks beside me. ''It really is, isn't it.'' Grell says, as we walk to the reaper library.
I smile, but deep down I know that he would really like to take some time to his self right now. I don't blame him, sometimes I can be a pain, but I'm only 13 and I don't know my way to the library and staffing building yet. Grell only came with me today because he didn't want me to get lost.
I climb the stairs to the library about 10 minutes later, and there are about 20 of them. ''How are you not out of ..... breath?'' I ask Grell, in between long deep breaths.
Grell shruggs, ''you'll get used to it dear.'' He answers.
''Grell! Where is Hattie?'' William asks, right as Grell and I enter the library.
''Oh Will, cool your jets she's right behind me.'' Grell answers. I wave at William, ''Hello." I say.
''Miss Kellett, hide those horrid cat ears and tail, grab your death scythe and get to work. Grell keep an eye on her.'' William orders.
''But I can't hide them!'' I try to say, but William walks away so I'm arguing with nothing.
I hang my head. Grell tousles my hair ''don't worry dear, it's not your falt your like that.'' He say's.
I try not to look at it the wrong way, but the comment comes as an insult, and I start thinking about the past month.
I'm the youngest grim reaper in collections, so I get a lot of laughs for that. To make things worse I'm part cat, so for me the afterlife is no walk in the park. Don't get me wrong I love being a grim reaper, Grell is a great friend and so is Ronald Knox. But it can still be hard, I mean, I'm watching human beings die for crying out loud, so how could it not?
As I think about this I'm reaping a 21 year old woman named, Maria Talbit. ''Well this one is dead.'' I say.
Grell is siting on the edge of the roof top above me, ''Well that was the last one in the- Bassy!'' Grell yells out a random nick name and jumps at a man wearing a black coat and walking with a kid who looks plenty rich.
''Grell! Get off him, what has gotten into you?!'' I yell, and run to help the poor guy.
''I'm so sorry sir'' I say pulling Grell away from the man.
I look at him and shock hits me. 'This man is no human.' I think, and back away pushing Grell away from the man as well.
''Oh it was no trouble miss, I'm actually familiar with your friend'' the man says, I figured it out, he's a demon.
''Hattie, its ok I know Bassy very well.'' Grell says. I let Grell go, on the promise that he won't get out of control.
''Hattie let me introduce Earl Ciel Phantomhive and his demon butler Sebastian Michealis.'' Grell says, and then goes back to hanging on the butlers arm.
I look at the kid, he looks about the same age as I am maybe a year younger. As I'm studying the kid, a girl walks by, and she has a very dark aura. I now watch as the girl stops, and looks at Grell and I. All of the sudden the girl pulls out a weird looking note book. I watch carefully as she writes something down. The girl snaps the note book shut, and looks back at me. I look into her eyes, her eyes reflect neither good nor evil, but a look that's overcome with greed. She walks over to Grell, and puts a hand on his chest. Imidiatly his eyes go wide and I see a bit of blood drip onto the pavement. I gasp and cover my mouth, the blood isn't red but pitch black. The girl takes her hand off Grell's chest and starts to walk away.
I run after her, and grab her arm. The girl turns around and touches my shoulder. I feel a pain that sends me to my knees, but some how I manage to keep my grip on her. I feel warm blood, ooze through my white button up shirt.
''Hey, I just want to know what your name is.'' I say.
The girl looks at me, and helps me up. ''to be quite honest, its Kira'' she says.
Chapter 2
''MROW!'' I yell, as Sebastian puts rubbing alcohol on my shoulder wound.
I look at my dress and Grell walks into the room, he is bandaged from the chest to shoulder and looks quite frankly, angry.
''So miss Kitty Cat why don't you tell me the logic of running after a dangerous person.'' Grell says, as he crosses his arms. ''Because obviously it's a respected art.''
I growl lowly and give Grell a 'I'm going to kill you later' look. ''There is no logic, smart aleck.'' I say, as Sebastian finishes wrapping a bandage around my shoulder.
Sebastian smirks at the argument between me and Grell, probably because I'm the only person who will stand up to Grell, besides William.
''Honestly, you two have been glaring at each other ever since we've been in this wretched place.'' Ciel states. ''Just yell at each other and get it over with.''
''We don't yell.'' I growl, as I straighten my dress.
''Well that's lame!'' Kira cries.
''Tell me again why your here.'' I snap at her, she followed us here and it is quite annoying.
''I'm bored and you guys seem interesting. In other words, I'm curious'' Kira says, smiling evilly.
''Curiousity killed the....Human.'' I say, yeah totally lame, but hey I'm part cat so I improvise.
''Don't you mean...cat?'' Ciel says, looking up from a book.
Is he frickin' blind? ''Do you have really bad depth perception or something?'' I ask, pointing to my red and black ears.
Ciel sighs and just rolls his eyes, then goes back to reading his book. I sigh then push Grell out of the way and walk down stairs. Its dark down in the library and the only noise I here is coming off of the bell tied to my black and red tipped tail. Grell's doing if any one asks. All of the sudden a voice calls my name, a male, demonic voice.
''Hattie...Hattie...You're not a reaper this is all a dream. You're at home curled up in your bed, but you won't wake up.'' The voice says, making me shiver.
I've been hearing this voice for a week now and it only happens when I'm alone, I try not to let it get to me. So I sit in a corner and flatten my ears hoping to block out the voices.
Chapter 3 Grell's P.O.V
''I just can't believe that girl or cat or whatever she is.'' I growl, mostly to my self.
''Wow!'' I say, ''it's so pretty out.''
Grell Sutcliff nods, while he walks beside me. ''It really is, isn't it.'' Grell says, as we walk to the reaper library.
I smile, but deep down I know that he would really like to take some time to his self right now. I don't blame him, sometimes I can be a pain, but I'm only 13 and I don't know my way to the library and staffing building yet. Grell only came with me today because he didn't want me to get lost.
