Chapter 39: The Brother

3rd Person POV
"Oh, what's this? Is this a way to speak of your brother's house, dear sister?" The trio turned to see William T. Spears pushing up his glasses with his Death Scythe. "William..." Onyx snarled. "Oh, Will!!!!!" Grell squealed happily while lunging toward the Reaper. William stepped aside as Grell crashed into the wall. "Grell!" Arabella squeaked as she ran to him,"Are you alright?!" Grell groaned in agony. "Must he always be like this?" He wondered aloud. William ignored them, his attention on his demon sister. "And what exactly are you doing here? Last time I checked I did not tell you to come visit me." Onyx scoffed and crossed her arms. "We didn't come to visit you, William." She said, firmly. Grell weakly protested,"I did...." Arabella told Grell to be quiet. "Anyways, we just came to tell you that Ash Landers is back." William bared his teeth slightly. "The angel......" Onyx nodded. "I thought he was killed by that demon, Sebastian. Guess he didn't do his job right......" Arabella stood up and went next to Onyx. "My brother is an angel. I knew that he would survive, somehow," Arabella whispered. "Still weak as ever, I see." William sneered at her. She flinched slightly, hurt displayed on her pale face. Onyx punched William in the face. "Don't you dare speak poorly of my friend!! She was more like family to me than you! In fact, I wish SHE was my sibling, not you!!" William showed no expression as he touched his cheek lightly. "Get out. I'll tell the Grim Reaper Society about Landers. The rest of you vermin, get out. You are not welcome here." "You're welcome!" Onyx snapped, walking past her Reaper brother and bumping into his shoulder purposely,"Arabella, Grell, let's just go. You heard him." Grell slowly got up and walked next to Arabella and Onyx, rubbing his head slightly.

William's POV
I watched as my sister and that idiot and Arabella walked out of my house from my window. I walked to my desk and sat down with a sigh. I ran a hand through my hair. '"Don't you dare speak poorly of my friend!! She was more like family to me than you! In fact, I wish SHE was my sibling, not you!!"' I placed my head down on my desk in frustration. Her words hurt me, even though I didn't show it. I loved my sister dearly but she hated me.

~Flashback (No one's POV)

"Will!! Will!! WILL!! LOOK!! BUTTERFLIES!!!" Young Onyx squealed with joy. William grinned and picked up his sister. "They're very pretty butterflies." Onyx laughed and clapped her hands. "William! Onyx! Come back to the house! Dinner is ready!" Their mom shouted. "Ok!" William and Onyx replied, giggling.

*Very small timeskip*

William, Onyx, and their mom were sitting at their table, waiting for William's and Onyx's dad. They all heard a knock at the door and their mom got up and went to the door. A scream shattered the quiet and joyful atmosphere. "RUN!! WILL HIDE YOUR SISTER!!! GO!!!" Multiple stabbing SOUNDS were heard. William grabbed his sister's arm and they bolted out the backdoor. Onyx began to cry. "Will, what's happening? What happened to Momma?" William picked her up and continued running. "Onyx, I wish I could tell you right now but now is not the time. We need to get far as possible away from here." She understood and tried not to cry. "There they are!" A voice shouted. William just ran faster. He tripped over a stump and fell, dropping Onyx. She yelled in pain, clutching her arm. William tried to get up but he felt a stab in his back. He coughed out blood and told his sister to run. She refused and tried to attack the person who stabbed her brother but the person pulled the knife from William's back and stabbed Onyx in the chest. She fell onto the ground, no longer in the world of the living. William screamed in anger and kicked the attacker. The attacker stumbled, dropping his knife. William stabbed the attacker until he was dead. He dropped to the ground and crawled toward his dead sister. He sat up slowly, his life dwindling away by the minute. William held his sister to his chest and cried until Death had come upon him.

William's POV (Still Flashback)
I groaned and got up. Last time I saw, I held my sister and cried in the forest. The room I was now in was white. A man suddenly appeared in front of me. He had long, gray hair in a ponytail and bright green eyes. "William T. Spears, correct?" I swallowed and nodded. "Welcome to the Grim Reapers Society. Your duty now is to collect the souls of the deceased." I got up quickly and shouted,"Where's Onyx?! WHERE IS MY SISTER?!" The man tilted his head slightly. "Are you talking about Onyx Spears? Ah, she's not here. A demon took her to Hell. She's now a demon. Forget about her." I bared my teeth and lunged toward the man. "Tch...they never learn..." The man took out a long weapon and blocked me with it. I fell backward, landing on my back. The man looked at me with disdain in his green eyes. "You're a Reaper now. Your old life no longer exists. Accept it."

~Flashback Over~

William's POV
I sat up again and took off my glasses. Rubbing my eyes, I thought to myself, 'Oh, Onyx....if only you knew the truth....'
