My Discovery ~ me inventa (part two)

I needed to know why the Grim had made that mistake, a mistake that cost me everything, I paced through the room, thinking of a way to find the Grim. Unfortunately, every plan I came up with had Alma in it. He would have to suck it up and help me. After my emotional break down at the conference room earlier, Alma had once again, brought me back to my room. I think that was going to be the normal routine between the both of us. Me emotional, crying mess, him helping me up to my room. I was now an unnecessary damsel in distress. I hated that. But I still need him, can't change that yet.

I opened the doors of my room, peeked outside, no sign of him. Groaning, I started out the room, not knowing the direction to go, since I don't even know where he could be, the place was endless, and he could be anywhere!

Deciding to just ask someone, an Angel or a 'Masculum Servus' anyone I saw first. Spotting a group of Angels, I walked up to them nervously.

"Hi Angels, I was wondering if you guys - Angels knew where Alma, a 'Masculum Servus'...". I let my question hang in the air. They blinked at me simultaneously.

"He is about this tall", I said demonstrating with my hands.

"Oh him, He is assisting the Level twelve Angels". One said, and they got back to their discussion.

"Ok thanks". I said cheerily, but getting no response.

These Angels were too prideful, I mused.

The elevator that took people to different levels was so different from the ones we had on Earth. It was a cubicle alright, but it had to giant wings attached, no cables, no mechanic engineering, just wings. I got on feeling the nerves build. I was on the fifth level, I didn't know how to get off at the twelfth, so I watched the 'Masculum Servus'that got on with me.

"The Tenth". One said.

"Twentieth". Another said, I guess it followed command, so I cleared my throat and said,

"The twelfth".

After stopping it was not hard to find him, I spotted him carrying a bunch of boxes, speeding after a flying Angel, how he thought he would catch up to him was still a mystery. The Angel was not even slowing down. He was flying towards my direction, so I decided to put a brake on his flying, I stood right in front of him. Causing him to stop in a halt and Alma came crashing down on him, I guess he did not have a brake either. The two of them a tangle of limbs, trying to get up. I snickered at the both of them then held my hand out for Alma. He took it, and helped the Angel.

"Who are you and why did you stand in my way?". The red faced Angel asked in anger. He glowed a bit more. I chuckled nervously.

"I wanted to talk to Alma?" I winced at my questioning tone. The Angel looked flabbergasted.

"What in the high heavens?" He squinted at me.

I shifted uncomfortably, from his heavy gaze.

"You are the errat". He snarled.

"Okay back up Temperamental, I am not a 'Mistake' okay? The Grim or whatever his name is made the mistake, not me, so don't you call me the errat, ever again". I exploded, he looked shocked. I turned to Alma grabbed him by his hand and stormed out of there.

"What was that? Why would you do that? Do you know the implication of what you have done?". Alma asked in anger finally shaking away his shock.

"He called me a 'Mistake', I had a life and he snatched it away from me because he could not do his job right and suddenly I am the mistake?". The anger enunciated in my every word.

He seemed to mellow.

"How long have you worn those clothes? Have you even had a bath?, You stink" he said out of the blue "wait what?", I looked at him weird, wondering why he changed the subject, then I realised, he mustn't be good with emotions.

I realised one more thing, he was right I, I did stink. Blushing, I skipped his hand.

"I don't stink, I can never stink" I shrugged.

"Self deceit, they say is the worst form of deceit" he said rolling his eyes. I burst out laughing.

When I finally quieted down, I turned to him with grave seriousness "where can I find the Grim?"

He looked white, like very white,video was scared, I phced my hand on his head, trying to see if he was sick or something.

"Why do you want to see the iubebatur tristique redudere messorem?" He questioned.

I blinked, "the what?".

He was about to open his mouth to reapond, I raised my hand and silenced him.

"I guess it's the Latin name for the Grim?"

"Yes,yes it is" he said, his Latin accent lingering.

I heard the way his tongue wrapped around the Latin name for the grim, his Latin drawl was kinda sexy.

Wait! How can I still feel this after death? And yeah, I was still hungry.

"Well, he made the mistake, he should know to fix it if I wasn't supposed to be here then I could go back right?" I asked.

He scratched the back of his head,

"I suppose so"

I beamed at him, "That is exactly why I want to find him, I have a whole lot I want to accomplish on Earth".,

He nodded,"it will be hard to find him, since he is supposed to respond souls, he could be anywhere at the moment".

I didn't think of that though.

"I'm sure we'd find him, it's just a matter of time" I said. My stomach grumbled.

"We'd better take care of that before it eats me, and you really need to take a bath". He said laughing I laughed along as we left to my room.
