I watched as Grace's home burned in flames.

"GRANDMA!" Shadow screamed.

"WHY IN THE WORLD ARE YOU BURNING OUR HOUSE DOWN?!?!?!?"

Shadow's grandma was wearing some mask as she was using a flame torch to burn down their house.

"Satan's in that house! We have to burn him alive in there!!!" Grace screamed.

"Grandma, please! STOP THIS. NOW." Shadow demanded. There seemed to be an explosion inside the house that blasted Grace out.

Shadow ran to her grandma and rip the mask off her face. "Grams! Please still tell me your alive..." She whispered hugging her grandma closely. Grace opened her eyes and smiled. "Of course I am. I'm your grandma, Shadow."

Shadow looked like she was about to cry from happiness. "You've never called me by my first name."

Grace huffed. "Your name is such wimpy name. Thankfully your mom decided on giving you a kick-ass middle name, Blade."

Shadow laughed and hugged her grandma.

"Get off me. You're being to mushy right now." Shadow pulled away and grinned.

I smiled at their little moment, but something felt a little off.

Why would Grace burn down the house. Sure she seemed a bit weird in the head, but nothing this extreme.

"Come on, let's find a place to sleep in okay gram?" She hoisted her grandma up and we walked away from the fire.

"Don't you think someone will notice?" Nico asked. Grace just waved him off.

"Gram, please don't ever do something like that again." Shadow begged.

Grace smiled then a loud bang went off.

"Don't worry darling. She won't be able to now."

We turned around seeing...

The weird, incredibly hot stalker Mr. Fransisco-Lachowski-Wanna-Be!?!?!!?

He's Jake Lewis!?!?!

"WHAT THE HELL!?" She screamed. Her hand went to her grandma's wound.

Cole went over and took her grandma from her so she can lay down.

Andy immediately took over, getting supplies from her bag. She took out a towel and ambrosia.

"Andy, the ambrosia won't work on her." Cole said to her sadly. She nodded silently and pressed a towel to where the gun had shot her.

I turned around and I glared harshly at him as he smiled at me. "Clara. Nice to see you again."

Shadow looked at me shocked. "Clare you know him?"

I shook my head. "He was just some stalker who tried to get my digits."

I turned to look at him. "By the way, I don't have a phone. And only my friends can call Clara."

Shadow turned back to him and boy was she angry. Her nostrils flared and her eyes were filled with hatred and rage. Seeing her angry was more terrifying than Andy during her period.

I am still on mine and I actually don't really mind gutting him like a fish.

I feel like Shadow's gonna do way worse than what I'm gonna do.

"Come on! That's all? I expected you guys to be a bit more... dramatic." He said disappointingly.

Nico glared at him. "Sorry we couldn't live up to your standards."

Jake waved him off. "It's alright. You can repay me by dying."

He approached us and Nico, Cole, and I drew our swords out.

"Sorry," I said. "Not gonna happen."

Shadow's P.O.V

I kneel down next to grams. "Grams, please don't leave me..." I begged her.

I gently hugged her, making sure she won't get hurt. "Don't leave me like mom." Tears escaped my eyes and I broke out into silent sobs.

"Shadow." Grams choked out. "Stop crying like a baby and woman-up! I'll be fine. I'm your grandma for heaven-sake's! When did you ever see me cry to get something? Never." She wheezed out.

I wiped my tears but, they just come out even harder. "If y-you die, I'll have no one. You're my only family Grams. I can't lose you."

My grandma raised her hand and flicked my forehead. "Idiot. You've got your friends. When do ever start using your head? I'm getting tired of explaining things to you."

I smiled at her. "I dunno."

She groaned, then winced. "Blade, I don't think I have too much time." She said quietly.

"Here." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a small locket. I opened it to find a picture of my mom holding me when I was a baby. "Your mom wanted me to give you that when it was my time."

"Grams..."

"Please, Shadow. When I die, promise me you'll fight like hell againt that psychopath. He should get a taste of his own medicine." I nodded eagerly and my grandma and I smiled at each other. She closed her eyes and sucked in her last breath.

I laid her body gently on the ground and all my anger resurfaced.

"Shadow?" Andy asked. "Yeah." I said.

"Can we kick some psyco butt now?" Andy asked. I smiled and nodded.

Clarissa's P.O.V

We all charged at him at once and at first we had the upper hand 'til I started to get mind splitting headaches.

"Clara..." Violet's voice rang in my ears.

Violet started to scream causing me to fall on my knees, clutching my head.

I began to scream also.

I sobbed and whimpered onto my knees. "Make it stop!!!" I cried.

"Clare!" Someone called.

I could barely hear them from the pounding in my ears. The screaming continued on 'til I blacked out.

"Clare..." Someone whispered. "Come on. Get up now."

I opened my eyes and got blinded by the light. "Am I dead? Did I make it?"

Shadow, I think, groaned. "Open your damn eyes already."

I opened my eyes and they adjusted to the light.

"What happened?" I asked them. I looked around for Nico, but he and Cole were missing.

"Where are the guys?" I rubbed my eyes and yawned.

"Well, they're... um.... they've been taken by Jake."

My jaw dropped and I hoped off the bed.

"Why are staying here? We should go and rescue the damsels in distress already!" I slipped into my shoes and grabbed my sword. "Stop it." Andy told me.

I turned around and felt a sudden dizziness. "Whoa..."

They guided me back into bed and tucked me in.

"No, we have to get some rest first and then we'll save them." Shadow said.

My eyelids felt heavy as I drifted off to sleep.

WHHHHOOOOHOOOOO!!!! I made another chapter this week. PLEASE DON'T KILL ME.
