Chapter 283 - It's Not A Goodbye- Part 3

The reapers who looked like they were gliding on the surface of the forest ground appeared to be heading their way, but in a blink of an eye, they disappeared and appeared right next to Belle and Lucas with their scythe about to attack them if Lucas had not apparated right away from there.

"I think you missed something, Belle," he said, his eyes narrowing down at the death reapers who walked in their direction, "They are not here for her but me."

Belle's eyes widened hearing this, and she looked at him. But the future memory she looked, the reaper was standing in front of Vivian, and it had taken her soul away with it, "Do you think future tampering is possible?"

"Very much so. Can you handle two of them?" he asked her.

"I can try," Belle then clapped her hands together. A spark like a weapon appeared in her hand that had blue light in it. Since the time George had appeared, Belle had tried to find out what she lacked in sending the soul back to the land of the dead. She had mixed her ability of death along with the forbidden magic.

A white witch was not supposed to touch forbidden magic because of the effect it had on them, that would turn them to a black witch, a creature that was despised by everyone.

Lucas believed in who Belle was, and he didn't question her answer and confidence. The two reapers went to attack him, and the remaining two went to Belle, trying to kill and get her soul. One of the death reaper's soul was aged and old to let one know that, it was as old as the time Lucas had come to existence. Its scythe moved relentlessly at him.

"You traitor," whispered the creature to him.

"I see we have met each other," Lucas acknowledged the reaper who wasn't pleased with Lucas' greeting.

As if one scythe was not enough, it brought another scythe, carrying two weapons in each of its boney hands before it started to attack Lucas. The Grim behind him swept its scythe one after another, leading Lucas away from the scene. When its scythe went towards him, Lucas dodged by falling away from the spot for the reaper to cut down a tree effortlessly, and the tree fell on the ground with a big thud.

"You have chiselled and sharpened your scythe," noted Lucas and kicked the other reaper who came close to him.

"It is so that I can cut you before dragging you to the dead," answered the reaper, "I have been waiting for you for so long. Eleven years is it?"

"I guess," answered Lucas with a relaxed tone in his voice. He took two steps to the side, and the reaper moved in his direction, "All of you keep wanting to keep a tab on me, makes me feel like everyone is obsessed in knowing what I am doing. Did the Hawverts not give you any work?" asked Lucas.

The death reaper who was holding both the scythes in its hands turned itself from the boney appearance to take the form of a woman who was as tall as Lucas. The woman had black hair and black eyes. The ragged robes which the death reaper started to shed to be replaced by tight fitted trousers and shirt.

"A woman," Lucas murmured under his breath, "Maud," he recalled the name.

"It is good to see that you haven't forgotten me. Worried that you won't strike at a woman?" asked the death reaper who had taken the form of a woman.

Lucas smiled looking at the death reaper named, Maud, who he faintly remembered meeting and his eyes then glanced where Belle was holding her ground with magic, "You are right. I don't hurt women. Dainty little creatures need to sit back," he said to her.

"I remember your values but wait I must be mixing it with the other Grim reaper. All the Grim reapers can be annoying," said Maud, a smile appearing on her lips to show the strong canine-like teeth that were all sharp.

"Did you now?" asked Lucas, "I actually had those morals, but I don't care for them now," grinned Lucas, a smile that looked different compared to the previous one he had that was polite. The death reaper noticed this and sent the other reaper to attack Lucas who had fallen on the ground previously.

Belle on the other side of the forest was dealing with two death reapers, and if she wasn't wrong, something told her that the lower reapers had been assigned to take her out of this forest while the stronger ones were attached to Lucas which she didn't mind.

Both the death reapers chuckled looking at her.

"Punny little mortal thinking she can make use of the light," chuckled one of the reaper and Belle raised her hand that had the electric staff in her hand. She had worked on how to wield it as she didn't have a scythe of her own to drive the death reapers away.

"Mortals are all like that until they are sent to the land of the dead," said the other one and it then jeered at her, "She doesn't know what the land of the dead is."

"Every mortal finds out about it once they die. That is the only place to go," said the first one. Belle couldn't help but think that the death reapers had forgotten that she was standing right in front of them, "You go at her first while I go search for something."

"What?!" said the other reaper.

Belle decided to leave the reapers to have their own chat as they were consumed in their world and when she started to walk away, a scythe appeared close enough to her head which she had to bend behind to stop the reaper from reaping her right away. That was close!
