Chapter 3:
The list
"Congratulations my dear symbols!" Balthazar twitched when he said dears (he only twitches when he lies) "The humans have started to become suspicious and churches (but then again they always do) are already blaming us now you may create a HQ for your next plans or continue finding your next victims, you're dismissed except Grim and Sombre."
Grim managed to catch a glimpse of Sombre's eyes and it looked like he was as nervous as he was and they walked (well floated) slowly towards Balthazar, "you showed a lot of potential in your murder so I'll give you something special that will give a huge advantage"
Balthazar led them into a dark corridor that… was cold! Cold and Hell doesn't add well (it's a saying my dad used to say), and as they walked further it just mixed even more worse and got way to dark even for Hell! Until it was so dark it would take 5 centuries for your eyes to adjust to it and it was so cold that they could of died of hypothermia 5 hours ago if they weren't already dead!
Balthazar stopped suddenly, put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a glowing key but a second later the glowing flickered off! "Not again! Do you guys have AAA batteries?" Balthazar asked and unfortunately for him they shook their heads. Balthazar fumbled around with the key and looked for the keyhole and (after an hour or so) found the hole
He turned the key and they heard an unlocking sound, & another, & another, & another, & another and then a padlock clanging on the floor and Balthazar pushed open the door, "EEEERRRR"
"I thought I told them to oil the hinges," Balthazar mumbled
The inside wasn't very glamorous, it looked like the inside of a small tower and the walls were stocked full of scrolls of parchment and in the middle was a thin line of floating candle sticks that led to the roof, how tall the roof was though was another one of the mysteries of life and at the bottom of the line of candle sticks was a table where a glowing piece of parchment was.
"Is that parchment wheat you're giving us?" Grim asked
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Do you honestly think I'd leave something that precious like that?" Balthazar walked towards the table and… THREW IT towards the door! (And grim could've sworn he heard something say OUCH!!) Then Grim realised that on the floor, supporting one of the table legs, was a crumpled and burnt parchment that was handed to Grim
"What on earth is that?" Sombre cried,
"This is the list. Once you leave hell, open it and it'll show someone's name, autobiography, where they live, when they're vulnerable, and where they'll be at the time."
"But what use is a-"
"WHAT USE!!!" screamed Balthazar. Grim knew two things: one, that if Sombre and him had hearts, they'd be ripping out of their chests because of the pressure Balthazar was giving them and two, they had to float out of the room as fast as they could!
*
Grim was thinking about two things (again): how and why would they use the list? They were both quiet until Grim broke the silence.
"You think we should look at it?" Grim asked
"Well if we want to become master chefs we have to" Sombre answered stupidly
"Sombre, Were you thinking about the list?"
"No, were you?"
"No I was thinking about cooking" Grim said sarcastically
"Well there you go then!"
"Sombre, I have two things to tell you, one I was being sarcastic and two, you need to study a lot more. Now I'll ask you again, do you think we should look at the list?"
"Dunno, I mean we don't know how old this thing is and if it's been updated"
"Well there's only one way to find out"
"Ask Jeeves?"
Grim rolled blood red his eyes & took a folded piece of parchment out of his cloak pocket and opened it:
The list
· 2 dozen eggs
· 1 Pork chop
· 2 packets of lettuce
· 3 packets of loo roll
· The latest CD from Gorillaz or Darkness
Before Sombre realised what it was Grim quickly folded and put it back in his put it back in his pocket then took out the real List:
Hell's death list
Type of attack: Kidnap, interrogate and murder
Gender: Male
Name/Nickname: Father Time
When vulnerable: N/A
Autobiography: Can alter time at will, father of the Grim Reaper
Where victim lives: Surrey, Local library
Sombre's eyes were wider than diamonds, "Father of the Grim Reaper." Sombre tried to look at Grim's eyes but they were staring at one word, "Murder"
"Grim if you're still wondering what I was thinking about, it was cooking"
