can a good girl be a hero

Grim

Red pulled the lifeless body from the apartment, as we all followed. The dawn was starting to break. After all that had happened that night, I was begining to feel exhausted. Red must have noticed as she said,

"I think you need some rest, Ellie,"

"I hate to admit it, but I think I do to," I agreed.

She poped open the trunk of the car and placed the boy in. She slammed it shut the two of us got into the car. I got into the back, next to the murderer and Red got back into the drivers seat. She took off at high speed, like she always did. Once we got back to the hotel, we parked in the under ground parking lot. We got out of the car and Red took hold of the murderer.

"We can't bring him up can we? He's glowing blue," I said.

"Don't worry, humans can't see him,"

She dragged him up to the room and Marco followed behind. Once we were in, I feel straight into bed. I was so tired, I didn't even bother to change out of my clothes. The murderer just sat down in one of the arm chairs and Red brought Marco over to her suitcase. She opened it up and took out different potions Pat had given us. She began to dap some of the potions on his burns and examine them. He was si beaten down, he wasn't even resisting now. He just stood there and let her do what she wanted.

"Is the pain easing at all?" She asked and he nodded.

"Good. Now go rest in that bed. You'll feel better when you wake up," she said and he climbed into the other double bed.

His head had barely hit the pillow and he was asleep. I followed suit not long after.

My dream was so hazy. At first I heard a child laughing and birds chirpping. Then it sound like I was near a stream from the light trickling of water. I tried to understand what was going on. Was I dreaming of Grace in the furute.

"What is this place?" I heard myself ask.

"My happy place," the laughing child answered.

I had heard this voice before. Who was it. Why was I hearig my own voice.

"Something bad is going to happen....." the childs voice began to fade away.

"Tell her I love her......"

"Bye bye Ellie. Good luck......"

I was woken several hours later, by Red calling and tapping me. It was dark out now. My whole sleeping pattern was completely messed up now. I streched and got out of bed. Then she shoved Marco awake.

"I'm afraid you don't have time to change Ellie. We have to get moving before grim realises they're missing," she instructed.

Her voice reminded me of something I had dreamt about. What was it I dreamt about. Did I dream about Red. For some reason I had a strong feeling that I had dreamt about Red. Well there was no time to dwell on the matter. The time had come to met Grim and find out who took our daughters. We wasted no time in getting back into the car. We drove through the crowded night time city. We drove to the very edge, until we finally came a building that looked like a castle. There were no gaurds or any other people around. All the windows were lit and fire tourches light the path up to the castle doors. Before we got out of the car, Red produced what looked like a small perfume bottle and sprayed Marco and the Murderer, until the bottle was empty. They went to get out, but were surprised to find they could not move. It must have been an other potion from Pat. She then handed me a vail.

"Drink this and Grim won't be able to touch you or see you. She will only see you when yo click you fingers. Click again and she won't she you again. I hold her boyfriend and I'll control it for him. Now come on," she said.

I quickly swallowed it and followed her. The potion tasted the very same as water. Red made her way around the car to the back. When she opened the boot Grim's boyfriend had woken up. He was rubbing hos head where he had been hit and hissed in pain.

"Get out," ordered Red and he quickly obeyed.

She grabbed hold of his upper arm and dragged him up to the door. She clicked her fingers and became hazy and so did he. I did the same and found I became hazy too. This must have been how we looked to each other but invisable to everyone else. I followed her down the long corridors. As I walked, I noticed paintings on the walls the depictited stories. They involved werewolves, demons, mermaids, vampires, humans and other creatures I did not recoginse. Some of the paintings showed battles or weddings. I guessed it to be some sort of history memorial for all of the creatures.

They captivated me. For some reason I cpuld not take my eyes off of them. Some of them I recognised from some of Dyalns stories. We walked for a short time before we made our way into a grand hall. At the top stood the most beautiful woman. She had long, black, shiny hair tanned skin and pericing green eyes. She wore a tight bkack dress and black high heels. She was oblivuous to out presence. We walked right up to her and stoped and the foot of the steps leading up to the chair she sat on behind a desk. She was hard at work.

"Hello Grim," said Red.

The woman's head shot up and began to gaze around the room.

"Who's there," she demanded.

"You can call me your highness," answered Red.

"Red.....What the hell are you doing here!"

"I think you might have an idea," she said.

With that Grim's face fell. She remebered what she had done.

"What do you want?" She paniced.

"My daughter back,"

"Your daughter?" She asked, genuinly puzzled.

"Someone used your portal to kidnap her and the silver packs alphas daughrer,"

"Ruby was taken too?" She announced in shock.

She gasped when she realised she had given away something.

"You mean, who ever took them only wanted Grace," said Red, who was truly stunned.

"Get out. I do not have to answer to you," she screamed.

With that Red clicked her fingers and appeared in front of her, with her hands placed on the boys neck, ready to break it at any moment. Grim stood from her desk in terror.

"David," she gasped.

"NOW WHO HAS MY DAUGHTER!"
