THE SPAWN OF THE GRIM REAPER

Chapter 26: Mine

I woke up in a haze as I look around the room. Sienna's flashbacks kept flooding in more making me even more restless. All of my hobbies and interests are weaken. I can't even run let alone walk as it just takes so much out of me. I've come to accept the fact that things are different. I have to attend a trail today. The court saw that since I've awoken from my one month coma that I'll rest for a week and then commence.

"This looks good on you AND it doesn't show that your still in pain." My mom was helping me put on my clothes and my dad and brothers' are making sure that I receive my privacy. "Do you go with a natural look or a model look?"

"Mom this is a court house not a fashion show." I told my mom gently while she conditioned my curls. "I know but I've been to so many court houses that the most interesting one was before Christ. Most of the accused use money to get what they want. Trust me I know it all." My mom straightedges her hair then dressed me up in the clothes she's picked out for me.

"You got this honey." My mom opened the door and asked my dad to go get the car ready. Christopher pushed my wheelchair but placed Charles on my lap first. We drove to the court house and saw the news and some reporters outside as well. My attorney came and pushed the crowds aside and carried me bridal style inside. My parents and brothers came in soon after along with my wheelchair.

This time my dad pushed me towards a door and the security women outside hugged me before letting me in. All eyes were on me and the judge looked at me with pity. The two girls who I still don't know their names yet, looked at me, like I was trash.

I was rolled next to the judge and placed my hands on a bible. I vowed to only tell the truth.

"Miss Howard-Grim. Explain to what happened on the day you were physically assaulted." The judge smiled at me allowing me to speak.

"I ran out of my class room after an incident. I ran down a hall and then went upstairs to find solitude. Once I was walking past an abandoned room. I was forceful pulled in. I discovered my dog murdered in the corner of the room then blacked out. I soon later woke up to find the two accused stabbing and tearing my abdomen repeatedly. They were later caught by the witness and I was blacked out once again."

"Thank you." The judge said. A man who was seated next to the girls stood up and walked towards me.

"Miss. Howard-Grim. What were you doing out of your classroom at the time before your "assault"?"

"I would like to ask the same of the two women behind all of this." I retorted. My attorney tried to contain his amusement.

"If you don't mind I'll be asking the questions Ms Grim." I've annoyed him. Good.

" I was verbally distraught by one of my classmates and ran out the classroom."

"Why not call your parents? Why run aimlessly around the school?"

"At the time it was like I said class-time. I would've been most likely stopped by a wondering teacher."

"The dog you mention earlier, was it a service dog or a pet?"

"It was my friend but it was both service and a pet."

"As I'm aware a service dog is for people with and kind of disabilities. Do you have any disabilities Miss.Grim?"

"Yes sure. I was blind."

"So how it is that your able to see me now?"

"I went under rehabilitation and surgery while in my coma state."

"That's all. For the moment."

"Ok may the defendant state their case."

My attorney stood up and walked up to me. Then turned over to the judge.

"Your honor, Miss Howard Grim, was stabbed 19 times and had 6 tear wounds on her body. Shaderred pieces of a measuring cylinder was found in the scalp and had several fractured ribs. I'll like to say it's a miracle that she's even in a wheelchair. But a question we all aren't asking is WHY and WHAT were the motives behind this? I'll like to call Miss. Lodavic to the stand!"

"I abject!"

"Proceed."

My attorney wheeled towards his partner. Right next to her was Gonzo but Travis. He looked so angry. I watched as everything played out.

"Miss. Lodavic as I was aware you are the daughter of the Ava Lodavic. The famous Victor-"

"SHE MADE ME DO IT!!" Every person inside was shocked as she pointed towards her-
