First kill
_ 2 weeks later _
A week ago Mariam was buried and Grey cried. It was a day that could only be rivaled to his father's dead.
George was understanding and offered him to stay home until he got over the death of his parents
On the other hand life at George's place wasn't bad. Grey had been socially excluded with the duo . It was understable given what he gone through.
He had also attempted suicide a couple of times. Cutting his wrist , his neck and even taking poison meant to kill . He reached to a shocking conclusion.
The Abyss had cursed him with immortality.
On this day Grey finally finished the end of the written words on the book given to him by the Abyss.
The weird part was that is was only 5 pages that were written compared to the incredibly large book.
The first 5 pages had nothing much but introduction and ways on how to survive while still being weak but even the rips were not completed.
' It's depressing that I have covered 5 pages for the 4 days I have been studying this book. However this books gives me horrible migraines if I read for more than 10 seconds.
It did warn me that weak minded people would suffer the consequences of reading it.'
As much as Grey could say ' screw off ' and throw the book , he was an avid fan of mystery and this book was shrouded in it and that was the only reason he read it.
As he looked to see anything else written , he went back and saw something strange writing itself . It said.
' Prove yourself worthy of this book . '
Grey said and cast it aside. He stood up from his study desk and walked out of his room. It was quiet which was surprising because it was late
" I guess Gwen is on a date with that Peter guy and George is probably still in office " He murmured.
He approached to the kitchen and found out there was no groceries.
" Tch , just my luck . I'll have to buy something and I have no money. I also can't bring to talk to George . " He thought.
He seemed kind of in a trance before he remembered Gwen saying that the they owed the store owner some money due to their shopping without paying.
If that was so then the store owner must be close to them , enough for him to buy without paying and he could add to their tab.
He got out and walked to the store , it was around a 8 minute walk from where he was .
The shop owner was understanding and added to the tab. He was kind enough to also give him some free chocolate.
Grey smiled. It reminded him that not everyone was bad.
As he walked to a juncture near an alley way that was dimly lit , he suddenly heard the cocking of a gun behind him and a man saying in a rough voice to give him all his money.
He froze not only from fear but from anger.
He slowly turned towards the man before his eyes widened .
The grocery bag fell and he could hear the cracking of eggs.
" Y-you ?? " He said unable to finish his sentence.
" Yeah me . Now give al your money or. .... " The man seemingly remembering something.
" Ah it's you kid , you know the drill . Give everything you got or die like that fat excuse of your mother. " The man said still pointing a gun at him.
Grey could hear his heart accelerate and his rationality quickly get replaced by anger.
" I'll fucking kill you " He practically screamed before charging at him.
Bang !
A clean headshot. Grey's body fell down with a thud.
The robber quickly scanned his area before grinning an approaching the groceries. He turned Grey's body so as to see if he had anything on his pocket when he fell something grab him.
It was Grey's hand !
He slightly shook in fear before looking at his face.
He saw red eyes instead of Grey's usual blue eyes and the bullet wound was closing up . It turned to normal when the bullet fell down and the wound closed
The robber tried to escape from Grey's grip but he couldn't. His face was filled with fear as he raised his gun with his free hands and shot at Grey's face a couple of times
Bang ! Bang !
" Die you fucking bitch "
Unlike last time Grey's body didn't Fall down but his grip tightened.
Swiftly a punch from Grey sent the robber being thrown away by the impact of the hit before finally falling with a large thud . He had lost some few teeth from that punch and his nose was broken.
He was now currently panicking. It was written all over his face
' D-devil ?! I need to get away from this Devil ' he thought.
He tried standing up hurriedly but he felt his leg get stomped and it's bones broken. He screamed in pain before he felt another punch in his face that stopped his yelling.
" Am shory pleash let me go ." The burglar begged but that seemed to enrage Grey as he raised his body by grabbing him in the neck before hitting him .
This send the robber to a wall which he slightly painted with his blood.
Before the robber could fall another punch straightened him from falling.
Punch after punch after punch.
The robber's blood covered Grey and the wall behind the robber but this didn't hinder Grey's rageful face from punching the other guy.
The robber was now barely breathing and Grey was ready to finish the punch when he felt someone stop his punch .
The robber fell like a ragdoll Grey slowly turned to see Spiderman.
Grey's rageful face turned into a smile that seemed genuine. However it made Spiderman flinch as he was covered in blood.
" Please could you come back later after I kindly ask this criminal some questions " Grey politely asked.
This shook Spiderman to the core. For the first time he had no words to say.
Grey knelt down to the man before Spiderman shouted.
" I won't let you ! " Spiderman was about to engage in a fight before he saw the person he knew in his school stand up and walk to the grocery.
" Fine , I don't wanna fight so you can have him. He'll be dead anyway "
He picked the grocery and walked off. Spiderman or rather Peter Parker couldn't do anything so he let him be .
Grey reached home to find Gwen on the room. Luckily George wasn't here to make his life more difficult.
" Oh my god what happened Grey ? " Gwen hurried to check on Grey.
" I fell " Grey said while giving Gwen the groceries and going to his room to take a shower.
While he took a shower his thoughts were disarrayed.
' I just killed a person today '
Slowly the imposing aura of the killer in him faded and returned back to Grey.
But this time it was different Grey's normal aura had been tainted. He would never be the same again.
As Grey went back to his room after bathing , he had trouble wearing due to many lingering thoughts on his first kill.
Just as he thought about it , the book opened itself and updated itself to complete the first chapter of 234 pages.
The first part of the new update said
' Congratulations, you have proved yourself Worthy '
A/N : Huh I guess the monarch of the Abyss is making progress. Don't ya think
