Made of Nightmares, Haunted by Dreams
These voices won't stop calling me
Over and over
Please God, Help Me

What I am
"What I say"
What I think
What others are
[/justify][/size]The moon is something of a blessing, while the shades of life cover the ground it sheds light on that darkness. Holding it. Cradling it. Raising it from the ashes of the brilliant sun so that the night may be known for what it is. A place where the wild ones lurk, hiding from the day-walkers. And I, a dreaming sort, walk the barren earth at night to see what little can be found. To understand what the world really is. Though the sun illuminates, it almost lets us know that we are seen in the light then. The moon is quite different really. Those of us who hide can only show those colors in this white night. No black and white, but majestic reds and wonderful blues paint the world when the lights are out. Only we cannot see what is out there in the night, not without the gentle mother in the sky. Telling us it's okay. Just be yourself Grimm.
Hated, though, are my activities. Why should they hate me for what I do though? All I want in the world is to really understand somebody. Nobody is really themselves in life, but only in death do they truly reflect those desires more. Everyone in town knows of me to, just keep those doors closed or he'll dig your grave before dawn. Too bad they can't keep me out. Somebody always wants someone messed up. I have to break down their doors and let them stare death in the face. You'll just end up with Graves at the end of it all. The locks are useless anyways. Always badly crafted and easily kicked in. No one can keep me out.
Not even the woman I visited tonight. I forgot her name. Something that sound pricey. I think her name was Jules... Something along those lines. She was easy and unimportant to the world. I had my fill of her, the feel of her cold body against mine. Almost like a rock. Just like a rock. And those lips stayed pink even in those final moments of me feeling her, touching that last little bit of humanity left in those eyes. What a thrill, what a ride. Who can't hope to grasp the moment while a man chokes you to death. Jules couldn't. She fought back, protested, kicked and screamed, but no one was coming. No one bothered me while I'm was working. There is punishment that comes along with that. As long as I can do my job, then things will be okay.
And who cares once the job is done anyways, whether I touched her in those dying moments just to please the urges in me. To hold that chilled body against mine and enjoy the lack of protests. All for the money. The woman didn't stand a chance once the job was out there though. Once you are on my list, then the world will know you name for what I've done to you. Dug up the earth just so I could fit you inside.
I let out a low whistle. "What a good, God-damn night."
I dig around in my pockets for a cigarette and a match to light it with. A bad habit for the reaper. A smoke is nice though, in the cool night air. Rather smell the smoke then the cow shit outside any day anyways. Anything is better than having to work day in and day out with some stupid animal. You have to take care of it. And boy, would I love to take care of a few animals myself. I take a long drag from the lit cigarette, letting the smoke course through my mind before giving it to the night. It could use a nice time as well. Oh if only the night were a woman. She would be kind to my hated soul, understand why I do the things I do.
Hold me close in her arms
Let me gnaw through her.
I drop the cigarette, through with whatever it may have left, and extinguish the light with my foot. How easy that would be to do with any of the cowards in District Ten. I need to meet someone with control, someone with a firm need of action like myself. Who will let me do my work the way I want to. Not to say that anyone can stop me from doing the job the way I want to do it. I get the things done just right. People you hate will die. But what I do with them, in the moments during and after, are all up to me. And speaking of customers, he's here, outside of Jule's house, heading toward me. Money for a job well done I hope.
“So, you get the job done?”
That's almost insulting. Of course I got the job done. I'm Grimm “Graves” Mayers for fucks sake. So I look at him and just smirk. "What do you think? Do you have the money?"
He gives me a funny look. He's sniffing around. What the hell is he smelling? I raise a brow looking him over. He's disgusted. What could be making him so sick to the stomach? He knew he was hiring. He better not say something that'll insult the both of us.
“You don't really... ya know... with the bodies?”
I give a chuckle and hold out my hand. "Look, just give me the money. I don't have time to just stand around and listen to your moralities."
The man scoffs before tossing me a small bag and walking off. I smile, not caring what is even inside because he knew what was coming in this business venture. How couldn't he? People talked about the bodies found by the Peacekeepers, defiled and unsure as to what had happened. All they knew was the woman had died a most frightful death. Her body stuck in such a contorted manner that the officials aren't even sure what to make of it. But the District knew Graves got to her. Graves knew her like no other man. And I could smile, remember the gentle, the rough, and the beautiful strokes the two of us held.
Digging through the money, though, I find that I've been cheated. A few coin is missing, which is normal, but I'm sure he's cut back because of my deeds. If only there were the night, the woman I wish were alive. I stuff the bag in my pocket and shake my head. No night like tonight to go out and find something. Someone. Another person haunted by the need to find the shades. To get away from the irritable dreams that creep on them in their sleep. Yes, another night man, or woman, anyone really. I don't even care now. And so I walk out toward the town square.
So into the Night I will go
