Snippet #1768126

Soma nodded to Esme as she walked off. In a playful tone, he called after her. "Don't be late, idiot. I still haven't payed you back for tripping me earlier." Benjamin began to make an apology but suddenly he was cut off. He seemed in pain and that same sinister feeling Soma felt earlier came again, with much greater force. "Hey. What's wrong with you? Are you-" Benjamin suddenly stood up and coughed nastily. Black blood came out onto his hand and he sprinted off to his room. "Hey!" Was there something wrong with him? Soma wondered why that feeling keep coming back. Soma examined the blood on the ground. It wasn't natural, as if something were eating him up on the inside. "Do you have any idea what's going on?" Soma asked the white wolf. Ookami didn't reply. "Hey!" "I'd never thought I'd see HIM, again." Ookami materialized on the ground in front of Soma. There was a solemn look in his eyes and the boy knew something was wrong. "What's troubling you. You've seen 'this' before?" "Yes. That what you just saw..... was Grim the Reaper." "The what?" Ookami turned and began walking towards the training dojo, his paw steps making no noise on the ground. "It doesn't matter right now. I was afraid he would appear again. But I need to teach you a few things before I explain. Come."

Soma silently followed the white wolf down the hall. This was all wrong. What was going on?
