I'm so angry with Grace. Ughh! What the heck! She yells at me in public, makes me CRY in public, and that's really, really, embarrassing!! I'm sulking with Josiah, when Teddy Bear, by Melanie Martinez comes on, my ringtone. I have stopped crying on the way to Josiah's house, so I'm not choked up. I could never walk into someone's house crying, I would seem like a baby, I force myself to stop on the way here. We're sitting in his dark blue, Cubs-themed room when the song plays, and I pick up my phone with Lisa Frank stickers all over, and see Grace's name across the screen. I think for just about half a second when it hangs up. Not that important, I guess. Whatever. "Whatever." I mumble as I throw down my phone. Josiah reaches for the remote, but stops. "She probably wanted to apologize. You should have answered, she might be sorry." he informs me. I sigh, "I bet all it was was to start another argument or something not important." He opens his mouth to say something just as my phone dings for a text, he closes it and gives me one of I-told-you-so looks, with the eyebrow and all.  He then proceeds to toss me my phone, after he answers and then I'm stuck. I hang up really fast. He rolls his eyes, and I know I should have answered, but I just wait for the text, the one that is for emergencies, if that's even it.  That text came, just about, maaaybe, thirty seconds later, just as Josiah looks at the phone, barely pausing from the T.V. guide. I pass it off as an excuse to say sorry. Just as  I start to have my doubts. Josiah's phone rings. He gives me a weird look. I look at who is calling him. The phone says Jake. I shout  ,"DON'T ANSWER IT!" he then proceeds to answer it and put it on speaker. He's so stubborn sometimes. The air is filled with Jake frantically screaming,"HELP HER HELP HER HELP HER SHE NEEDS HELP I THINK SHE'S DYING."
When Jake said the word dying my heart froze. Dead. And then time itself froze. Quite literally actually. Josiah completely froze. So did Jake's frantic cries. I felt so powerful. Maybe a little too powerful. I left Josiah a note saying I went to go help my sister. And with that I was off. I left Josiah's house with his car keys. He wouldn't mind hopefully that I borrowed his car.. It is so much easier to drive when the cars are not moving. Finally I after what feels like forever I make there. I run into Grace's room. I fall to the floor at what I'm seeing. She's in so much pain emotionally and physically. It's as if she struggling to keep herself from changing. Into what, I don't know. But I'm going to help her. I walk outside the room and lock the door. I then allow time to move again. The sounds were horrible. They terrified me. I knocked on the door. Jake came running. Pulled me in and what I saw... I...  the whole thing horrified me. Grace was moving out of her body and transforming into the scariest thing I've ever seen and then back again in a incredibly fast motion. It took me a second to actually put together what I was seeing. It looked like a angel but it was completely black and had these black razor sharp claws. The teeth like those of a wolf. On her hand she had these strange symbols. My first thought was "Omg my sister is my deepest darkest fear, the monster that goes bump in the night, she's worst than the devil. I can't believe all these years THAT was my sister. Bu then I looked at my sisters face, she was struggling to stay in her own body, and she was going through so much pain. I need to help her. I went to her bedside and rose my hands over her body and felt the warmth spreading down my arms.Then the energy was tingling on my fingertips. I felt the healing starting then just failing. IT NEEDS TO WORK!!! PLEASE! I try it again and again and again. Everytime it fails. My mind tries to comfort me. But it doesn't work. It's no use. I had one job and I failed. i start to sob into the palms of my hands. I look at Jake and Jake is horrified and heartbroken at the same freaking time! Then my sorrow turn to anger. I CAN'T BELIEVE I LET THE ONE PERSON I CARE MOST ABOUT DIE! I should have been there for her! she's my sister!!!!!
Then I hear a weak cry that turns to words. Grace weakly whispers, "Jordan go to the bookshelf over there and grab the shakespeare book," she then points to her bookshelf. I quickly run over to it and grab the book she said to get. The bookshelf moves away and a huge room appears. Woah. And I say my closets big. I ask her, " what do you need now,"
she weakly says," look for my powers room you neeeeeed to get there. Good luck. And Jake (Jake's ears perk up like a puppy at the sound of his name) go with Jordan and I love you so much." Jake immediately grabs a hidden back back and weapons with THE ARMOUR FOR OUR TRIP! Jake tosses me another backpack and the spare armour! Jeez how many hidden place does Grace have. I put on the armour and open the backpack to find a cool looking metal stick and a knife. I grab the knife and hook it onto the belt built into the armour. And Jake then pulls out two guns out of his backpack! I say, "Hey why do you get The gun!"
Jake says making himself look as cool as possible, "Because I can do this." he spins the two guns and smoothly shoves them in his holsters. WOW show off much?? I hold out my hand and fake cough. Jakes quickly says, "Oh yeah here." Jake gives me a gun. I have got to say. We look pretty cool. But I look like a true spy with all my armour. I look at the metal stick
that I had and I spin it and jump back as a laser light shield pops up around the metal stick. It looks so cool. WHY DO GRACE AND JAKE ALWAYS GET THE SUPER COOL HIGH TECH THINGS?! While Jake shows off, I roll my eyes. Why does he think he needs to show off for me?. . . Anyway, when he's done I tell him to come on. I head down the so unfair closet space hall and walk into this circular, spheroid shaped room, lined with doors with signs above them. No wonder she is always in her room. I wish she given me an instruction guide for this, or a map, either would be helpful. I scan the rooms and their signs and look over to Jake for any sign of decision. He looks at me and gives me the you decide look. I roll my eyes. I do decide for myself: the second door to the left, with a sign in German. Jake being the only one who can speak it (besides Grace) he translates, "Power room." I look at the door carefully and knowing Grace there has to be some sort of trap or puzzle.
