One of Them

Chapter 1

Annabelle was walking up the stairs to her room, wondering what she was going to do today. She didn't have any toys or books, and she didn't like hurting people, unlike the other girls, who were walking down the hall at the same time. Amanda, the meanest and ugliest of all, ran up to Anna and punched her in the gut, or tried to, that is. Anna grabbed Amanda's meaty fist and threw a blow of her own. She punched Amanda in the nose, hard, making her bleed. Amanda shrieked in pain and held her bleeding nose. Anna walked past the girls, shooting them glares that asked "you wanna try that too?". They just stepped aside and glared back at her. Anna walked to her room without anymore trouble and locked the door behind her. She quickly ran to her bed and took her old laptop out from under her bed. She had never really been happy at all, until she found the laptop downstairs.

She had been sneaking around the orphanage at night, she wasn't supposed to, but she did it anyway because she was rebellious and hated the rules. She snuck into Ms. Finch's office, knowing she wouldn't get caught because she was at her own house. Anna began to rummage through the drawers, looking for something fun, when she came across an old laptop computer. There was a sticky note on it that read "junk, throw away".

Anna did not think the old computer was junk, and decided to have some fun with it. She opened it up and turned it on, she opened FireFox out of curiosity and found something called Google. She wanted to read something, so she typed "stories" in the search engine. She scrolled down the stories until she found one that sounded interesting, "A tale Dark and Grimm". She opened it up and started reading...

"Grimm wasn't always a monster, at one point he was a normal boy, who lived a normal life, in a normal town, and even his name, Isaac, was a normal name. That is, until one night when two mad scientists found him. They told him that they were working on an extremely important project, and that they needed him to help them with it. Isaac foolishly accepted their offer, he was gagged and thrown into the back of a truck. He was taken to a laboratory and used as a test subject, but during the test his eyes were scratched by glass when a vial exploded. The chemicals from the vial soaked into his eyes, causing a horrifying mutation. His eyes turned from ocean blue to neon green with black slits for pupils. When the scientists looked into his eyes to inspect them, they screamed in terror and covered their eyes, for Isaac's eyes had made it so the scientists saw nothing but the image of a demonic figure with a gaping mouth full of fangs and scars over its neon green eyes. The scientists became mentally insane, and died soon after because their brains shut down from panic. While the scientists were in the asylum, they only said one word: Grim, which is how Isaac got his name. Now, Grimm wears a strip of cloth over his eyes so he can't accidentally hurt anyone. But, every once in awhile, he will take off the mask hiding his eyes, and his next victim will be claimed."

Anna had loved the story, and she was eager to read more, so she took the laptop and hid it in her room. Ms. Finch never found out, and neither did the other girls. Anna soon became a bit of a nerd for all the characters that the writer had made, called the Specter Gang. Her favorite of them was Grimm, because he was treated like an outcast, like her.

Anna opened FireFox and began to search the internet for fan art of Grimm, she found a lot, for he was extremely popular. She found quite a few pictures of him lifting up his mask a little bit so you could see his eyes, a few pictures of him in the demonic form described in the story, and a single drawing of Grimm and the rest of the Specters. She smiled, she had made that drawing a long time ago. She posted it on her profile and said 'just found this pic I made a long time ago, I still love the Specter Gang'.

Suddenly, someone wrote something in the chat.

???: It is a very beautiful pic.

Anna smiled.

A: Thanks! R u a fan of the Specters 2?

?: I'm more than a fan....

A: wut do u mean?

?: Stand outside ur orphanage at twelve tonight, you'll see what I mean....

Then whoever it was left.

"Midnight huh?" She said to herself, a mischievous smile growing on her face. "Sounds sketchy, but fun."

Later that night...

Anna stood outside the orphanage, waiting for someone to come. It was almost midnight, the full moon made the falling snow shimmer like stars. She was wearing a green fleece and blue jeans, the only clothing she had to keep her warm, but she was still very cold. She glanced around, hoping to see someone.

Then she saw a figure walking towards her. He appeared to be a few years older than Anna, he had shaggy silver hair, pale skin, and was wearing a short sleeved brown shirt that was torn at the edges and denim jeans. But the most unusual thing about the boy was that he wore a grey strip of cloth over his eyes, scars were visible under the cloth, Anna gasped in shock and awe when she realized who it was.

It was Grimm.
